It also apparently thinks that everything that does not instantly make sense in two seconds must be punished with things that ONLY make sense if you think about them for two minutes.<br /><br />Since when do we allow <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ex_post_facto_law">Ex Post Facto Law</a> and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_of_attainder">Bills of Attainder</a> in this country??<br /><br />Yeah, the AIG employees in question make more in an hour than I do in several years. Some of them are probably jerks, criminals, incompetent, whatever. But I'm sure some of these employees are legit, and worked hard, and it's not ALL of their faults that the business failed.

I scheduled a switch date. I never got an email confirmation of the online order placed.<br />I then found out I could not be home on the scheduled date. I called them, and waited 28 minutes on hold. I finally spoke to someone and they told me, per my request, the switch date was postponed two weeks.<br />I asked for my confirmation number so I could make future changes online. She said she had to transfer me to a different group for that. I waited 20 more minutes on hold, and had to go, so I hung up.<br />I called back the next business day, and was told that they had never postponed my switch date. I was so fed up at this point I said cancel the whole thing and do not switch my service AT ALL. I never got a confirmation call of cancelling as promised on the phone number I asked, although I did get a phone call from Verizon on my home line, but no message was left. Since I work during the rest of the week, I could not call all week to follow up because I simply don't have an hour to wait on hold while at work and they are closed when I get home. <br />So today, I get home and I have a zero balance bill from Cavalier and when I call Cavalier it asks me if I want to re-establish service.<br /><strong>VERIZON SWITCHED MY PHONE LINE WITHOUT MY AUTHORIZATION</strong><br />And of course they are closed til Monday. At this point I might as well stay with them, it is 15 dollars a month cheaper, but man am I ever livid.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-52240626591497017092009-01-09T14:30:00.000-05:002009-01-09T14:31:03.031-05:00Proud to live in Baltimore...Where we now have a <a href="http://www.baltimoresun.com/news/local/baltimore_city/bal-dixon0109,0,3147190.story">Mayor indicted on corruption charges</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-71353676180735637522009-01-09T10:00:00.001-05:002009-01-09T10:00:49.344-05:00And there was much rejoicing among ER fans..I just read <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/28577145/">this</a> and I'm quite happy!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-79006016042725210142008-12-04T21:37:00.001-05:002008-12-04T21:39:20.173-05:00A Quick Funny Video<object width="464" height="388" classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000"><param name="movie" value="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" /><param name="flashvars" value="key=c0cf508ff8" /><param name="allowfullscreen" value="true" /><embed width="464" height="388" flashvars="key=c0cf508ff8" allowfullscreen="true" quality="high" src="http://player.ordienetworks.com/flash/fodplayer.swf" type="application/x-shockwave-flash"></embed></object><div style="text-align:center;width: 464px;">See more <a href="http://www.funnyordie.com/jackblack">Jack Black</a> videos at Funny or Die</div><br />I really enjoyed this video.

I'd prefer to buy it online- I absolutely HATE standing in line for things especially near Christmas.<br />I want to get the 60GB Pro Holiday Bundle (or really even just the 60GB, I don't care about Kung Fu Panda or Indiana Jones). The best I have seen so far is WalMart selling it for 298.00 instead of 299, or of course I can get it with Guitar Hero for 199, IF I get up at 5am on Friday and am the first person there and don't get beat up for it. Yeah, no doorbuster sales for me, thanks.<br />If anyone knows of like a $20 off coupon code for orders off of Amazon, Best Buy, or Walmart, or something similar, I'll just order it online- much easier. Or if you know of a really good Black Friday deal that isn't a "doorbuster", I'd check that out too.<br />Thanks!!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-84924690138208042072008-11-13T19:40:00.001-05:002008-11-13T19:40:58.153-05:00Funniest Video Evar!I think <a href="http://s2.photobucket.com/albums/y20/PerthPurplePenguin/vids/?action=view¤t=cvUMHvLZ.flv">this</a> is a really funny video.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-28797073041273138402008-11-05T21:09:00.003-05:002008-11-05T21:16:21.700-05:00PhotoHunt: BlueThis week's <a href="http://tnchick.com/">PhotoHunt</a> theme is Blue.<br /><br /><a href="http://catsinmd.blogspot.com">Niko</a> has lots of blue things.<br /><a href="http://fortypaws.blogspot.com">Ham-mick</a>....<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0uzbmpEuDkbMfkbculIxRYfqSuuBQ-okZjRddMQLaiz7sS-ac3G1_e9_xXZOnsCQvlx0Gnnh0xlfst_k078bJLYqKdkrH_LmKHXYiQJ7CKI9uutmxFduQRJcXZk1WBJ8BnCg0/s1600-h/hammick.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0uzbmpEuDkbMfkbculIxRYfqSuuBQ-okZjRddMQLaiz7sS-ac3G1_e9_xXZOnsCQvlx0Gnnh0xlfst_k078bJLYqKdkrH_LmKHXYiQJ7CKI9uutmxFduQRJcXZk1WBJ8BnCg0/s320/hammick.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265362414838647154" /></a><br />Collar...<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn6T36ia04VI5yIRaJ84uF4YhkV4Bj77SBaUWF7O2dmEqLhectbwgWkegYkjf9RPjW4BETm6AT8L5U8MEXgKHNphpo7oZJhQIWIapjZt-okvD9yAz-4Ws6VtEUSfM8l66N_M5g/s1600-h/collar.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhn6T36ia04VI5yIRaJ84uF4YhkV4Bj77SBaUWF7O2dmEqLhectbwgWkegYkjf9RPjW4BETm6AT8L5U8MEXgKHNphpo7oZJhQIWIapjZt-okvD9yAz-4Ws6VtEUSfM8l66N_M5g/s320/collar.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5265362407609184722" /></a><br />He has a blue foodbowl too, but no picture of that.

Actually it goes back on and off to just a few weeks after starting Weight Watchers in July, but the last week was by far the worst. When I started weight watchers, dairy and (of course, they are fortified) breads were the first to get cut from my diet. Well, anyone wanna guess where the best places for a vegetable-tarian are to get B12? Yup. Went to the doc Monday, doc drew some blood, and I got a letter today telling me my B12 is low and to come get stabbed ASAP, so I'll be visiting her this Monday for that. I've went out and got some B12 tablets for now though, obviously not ideal but I hope they will help at least a tiny bit until then.<br /><br />I've found a lot of conflicting info on the best methods for vegetarians like me to get B12. Anyone got any good recipes or thoughts? Also, does anyone know if skim milk reduces B12 at all? Google wasn't very helpful when I tried to ask it, hehe.<br /><br />Oh, and a belated congratulations to my angel Texas' Momma C and almost-Dad! (For anyone who doesn't know, my first cat Texas was adopted from friends at work) They had an absolutely beautiful wedding this weekend which I was totally thrilled to attend. Absolutely delish cake too, totally worth the half a day's worth of WW points I spent on it, hehe!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-38176932034619447232008-10-14T10:41:00.004-04:002008-10-14T20:22:07.457-04:00CEO of drug manufacturer refusing to allow use of experimental drugPlease go to <a href="http://www.techcrunch.com/2008/10/14/rocketboom-founder-fighting-for-fathers-life-meanwhile-drug-company-committing-pr-suicide/">this link</a>. The short story is that the FDA has granted special approval for a last ditch effort at treating someone's cancer, all the CEO of the drug company has to do is Say Yes, yet he will not allow the treatment. This person probably only has days to live without this drug, at most.<br /><br /><strong>UPDATE:</strong><em>Now that I've been home from work, I've had time to research this more. I am noticing all sorts of holes in the story. Many people have pointed out on the other blogs that it seems unsual that the CEO's approval would be needed. Others have mentioned that the dying person was supposedly a lawyer who sued drug companies his whole life. I am leaving this post up because I don't know for sure that this story ISN'T true. I do want to apologize to my readers for not verifying my facts on this before passing this along. I get quite irritated at people that pass on stupid chain emails warning of ridiculous dangers without researching the facts. I fear I may have done something similar today, but I simply did not want another person or animal, whether it turns out this guy is some crooked lawyer or a philantropist or something in between, to die of cancer. If this all turns out to have been some strange hoax, please accept my sincerest apologies.</em>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-74433297484847116202008-10-09T08:58:00.001-04:002008-10-09T08:58:26.910-04:00Woman shot in leg by stoveWow, <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27091414/">This</a> is just hilarious!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-8296050877622204092008-10-08T08:31:00.007-04:002008-10-08T08:47:10.627-04:00Photo Hunt: SadWell, this was an easy theme for me, since I am still very sad over losing Texas.

(And he weighs A LOT less than me...sigh..)<br />Also, I found an <a href="http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/4541605/">article</a> last night on "Flexitarianism". Although I call myself a vegetarian for simplicity sake, "Flexitarian" is probably much more accurate. Hubby and the in-laws call me a "pretenditarian". I probably average 1 or 2 meals with meat a month. (strangely, I actually only eat red meat, when I do eat meat. I can't stand the smell of seafood, and I simply cannot overcome the psychological barrier to eating poultry when I have 3 pet birds at home.)<br />Either way, it means that I try to eat meat-free, but if I'm stuck in a restaurant where my choices are week-old salad or hamburger, I'm going to deal with it and eat the hamburger. This article mentions what I have observed myself, that "flexitarians" encounter a lot of negativity. I've had people accuse me of being a "liar" when they see me eating meat. Most of the time they are just joking around, but it's still annoying. I mean, if they'd prefer, I could have said "Well, I rarely eat meat, but sometimes I will, if I'm in the mood for it, and there are no convenient vegetarian options, and depending on what it is", but that's just so hideously long-winded! <br />Oh, if you check out this article on it, be sure to read the lovely PETA quote. I think that there are a lot of people that mean well at PETA, but so many of them really don't seem to understand concepts of moderation and balance and end up making all environmentalists and vegetarians and animal lovers seem like complete nutjobs. I cringed when someone called me a "PETA-girl" because I try to avoid wearing leather.

(updated)Thanks for the tips on the wraps. I think I'll have to definitely try a lettuce leaf as the wrap, but hubby had made some tortillas and I needed to figure out what to put in them. I ended up making some tofu veggie chili and used that this time.<br /><br />Anyways, I'm stuck at work and hubby just emailed me asking what time I got off tonight. Actually, he asked when I get home. I told him, and asked why, and he said "because".<br />Hmmm....I am...suspicious!!!<br /><br />Oh, Cloud might be coming home tomorrow. Niko still sneezes but otherwise seems much healthier so we will probably just bring her home tomorrow and keep them quarantined a bit.<br /><br /><em><strong>OK, so this might be disappointing to my average reader, but the surprise was a nice romantic home cooked dinner!

Or not using it, as may be more accurate, we shall see.<br />But if anybody still reads this, does anybody know any good recipes for any healthy wraps I can make with minimal ingredients that is low-calorie by any chance? Either email me at ravenkatie at gmail dot com or put a link in comments, if you have any ideas....Unknownnoreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10912128.post-76658618294371865802008-09-15T10:56:00.001-04:002008-09-15T10:58:06.435-04:00Niko has a blog!His blog (and Cloud's) is <a href="http://catsinmd.blogspot.com">http://catsinmd.blogspot.com</a>.<br />Scroll down on this page to see some pictures of him, and then head over to his site for more.

Cloud still hasn't gotten her appetite and energy back yet; she might go to the v-e-t tomorrow if still not 100%.<br />But Niko is just fine, he also has to go to the v-e-t tomorrow, but just for a baseline checkup and also to verify his Coccidia is gone.<br />I'm going to set up their blog soon. Right now Niko is downstairs getting settled.
