<rant>You know, if you're going to have pizzas delivered on a holiday like New Year's Eve when all the nuts are out driving in a panic to get to the liquor store, the least you can do is tip your poor pizza driver. It's bad enough to get stiffed on a regular evening, let alone a holiday when nobody wants to be working anyway. And, BTW, don't ever say, "It's a shame you have to work tonight" to any driver on any holiday. If your lame ass, and others like you, didn't order pizza on holidays, we wouldn't be open.</rant>

I've got sooooo much to do today. I've got a couple of friends coming over after I get off work tonight to help me break in the fondue pot I got for my birthday and to usher in the new year. This is one year I am not going to miss one bit. I feel a little like I've stagnated this past year. I made less money, gained more weight, acquired more debt. *sigh*

Actor Earl Hindman, best known as Tim "The Toolman" Taylor's neighbor Wilson on "Home Improvement," died yesterday. How sad. I really loved that show and Wilson was the coolest.

I found Typeflake the other day while surfing around the other day and it's been sitting in an open browser window ever since. I figured I'd better post it so I can shut my machine down. While it is not as cool as the snowflake maker I posted about before, it's still kind of cool.

I've got my calendar so jacked right now. It was pretty stupid to have the templates open on two different computers and forget to refresh the screen when I moved between them. I'm giving up for the evening and maybe it will be easier to fix in the morning.

I actually got five driving shifts this next week at work. Whoa! Of course there will be no orders and those that order don't tip, but at least I'll get 15 hours on the clock.

Speaking of people who don't tip, yesterday I delivered to this house and a fairly young child came to the door. The total was $19.98 and she hands me a twenty. The girl is way too small to handle two extra-large pizzas and I feared she was going to drop them. I lost every ounce of caring that the pizzas were going to hit the floor when she uttered, "My mom says to keep the change." At that point, I was pissed. Two lousy, stinkin' cents! I hate cowards who stiff, don't have the kahunas to face the driver in the face of their cheapness, then make their poor children do it. LOSERS!!!!!

The ice cream was pretty good. I put a little too much vanilla in it, I think. It will just take a little (lot) of experimenting. LOL

The Scumbuster will also work pretty well as soon as I pick up some soap scum busting cleaner (like Scrubbing Bubbles).

It was kind of depressing today that the Broncos lost to the Green Bay Packers. I understand why Shanahan sat most of the starters out and I know the game had no effect on Denver getting into the playoffs, but I hope the loss doesn't cast a gloom over the first playoff game. I still hate to see my Broncos lose (especially 31-3). Then poor Ed McCaffrey got his bell rung pretty good. I hope he's OK.

OK, that's all the news for the moment. I must get to bed.

Well, I'm making my first batch of vanilla ice cream with my new ice cream maker. I'm going to try coffee next if this batch works. Then I am going to scrub my shower with my new Scumbuster after the battery charges. I just pulled a wad of my hair out of the drain the size of a hamster. Ewwww. Totally disgusting! Well, I'm going back to watching the Bronco/Packers game now.
