  • @digibill Good idea. @jjLassberg Seriously! I couldn’t believe it either. in reply to digibill #
  • So I called in for the audio part of “social media for social change” and so far it’s mostly about online corporate marketing. Feh. #

  • @msfour Movies (rec from TV or rented) are good. Eating out costs too much (but we do anyway), and sleeping hurts my joints. 😛 </whine> in reply to msfour #
  • Best version of “dreidel dreidel dreidel” evar! Good video, too. http://is.gd/bWXb Via @dgtlpapercuts #

  • @gregoryheller You know that article was a joke right? in reply to gregoryheller #

  • Hour 1 and counting: No #Sears. #
  • @jreesnc ‘Scuse me but I paid #Sears for a brand new dishwasher, I don’t want to be fixing shit for quite some time. in reply to jreesnc #
  • #Sears installer just CALLED (miracle of miracles) and said they’re running late but still coming. And we wait… #
  • BTW, I apologize if the whining is getting dull, but the #Sears tweets must continue until we get some semblance of what we paid for. #
  • #Sears installer arrived 30 min ago, just finished removing old dishwasher. Has uncovered add’l problems that we have no money to fix. #
  • So… now we have a brand new dishwasher but can’t use it or wash manually b/c the entire drain pipe is inoperable. :-(( Not Sears’ fault. #

  • I hope Sears is ready to take back my dishwasher that has been chilling with this contractor for nearly a week, b/c I am tired of waiting. #

  • Why doesn’t #WordPress make themes as easy to search, install, and update as they do with plugins? Grrr. #
  • @RobertFischer Since the Freemasons are a “secret” society, why *should* anyone know about them? Isn’t that your own business? in reply to RobertFischer #
  • @RobertFischer You’re the one who called it an “omnipresent secret society.” But you still haven’t said why non-masons should care. in reply to RobertFischer #
