Domestic Geek

I was surfing the 'net finding quotes I liked to put in my array and pasting them in a gmail message to mail to myself. I had quite a few and then closed the window without sending the message. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. *sigh* I guess that's what happens when a dog wakes you up from your nap too soon.

OK, I'm putting a random quotes section in the sidebar and I'm looking for good quotes. Do you have a favorite quote that's crafty, artsy, culinary, geeky, domestic, inspirational, humorous, etc.? I'm looking for stuff that fits in the the Domestic Geek theme of this site, but it doesn't necessarily have to. If so, leave it in the comments or email it to me. Please include the author if you happen to know who it is. Thanks for your help!

Have you ever noticed that during the morning hours on television (between 9 and noon) that there is an overabundance of trade school commercials? In the last hour, while watching Regis and Kelly, I have seen commercials for the Denver School of Massage Therapy(three times), CollegeAmerica, Platt College (twice), Bel-rea Insitute for Veterinary Training, Westwood College(twice), Denver Career College(twice). I'm sure I missed a couple of them. It's the same with lawyer commercials, too. They really go after those that can't or aren't working for some reason, don't they?

Thankfully, come Monday morning, I won't be around to see them.
I start my new job on Monday!
Yay me!!!!! *happy dance*

Well, something is still wrong with me. I took my antibiotics, I took my Monistat to cure the resulting yeast infection and I still have the same problem I had a month ago. Damn, this is getting really old.

This wouldn't be so bad if I had health insurance, but I don't. Why can't these people just run the tests they need to, perscribe the right medicine and be done with it. "Well, your symptoms indicate it might be this...take this medicine and if you don't feel better, come back and we'll run another test." It's like mechanics that keep replacing parts until they stumble on the correct one instead of running diagnostic tests and replacing the broken part the first time.

I tried selling a bunch of stuff on eBay again to raise the money to go to the doctor. Sadly, nobody wants my stuff. Only two things that I listed this time sold and I raised a total of less than $15 (after fees). That won't even pay for an office visit. *sigh* eBay is definitely for buyers, not sellers. Unless you have something really rare or your business is based on something that people need alot like ink cartridges or computer parts, you're not going to become rich selling there. It also makes me feel bad that I own all of this stuff and it is basically worthless to anyone but me.

Here's another reason to hate Daylight Saving Time: EE doesn't handle it well. Grrrrr.
