Email from our HOA: “Just letting the neighborhood know that our house was burglarized yesterday afternoon between 1:30 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. <snip address on the other side of the blight from us> Two windows broken, one in the front left side and one in the back left side (inside our privacy fence). Had to have been kids since the hole wasn&apos;t very big in the front window, and they didn&apos;t get in the back window. Only thing taken, aside from our sense of privacy and personal security, were playstation games. Police said it was probably kids. Of course if…

So I&apos;m skimming the childfree groups today and I find this piece of insanity: This chyk, 19 years old, does not want children. She&apos;s trying to get a Mirena IUD, and is talking about her doctor, who she says is great and is going to great lengths to help her get this IUD: “She also worked hard to find an in-network doctor who would be willing to put one in once I had been with my boyfriend for six months.“ Buh? OK, great, the doc is listening to her patient and helping her get the health care she needs. But…

Not much has been going on lately, just day to day living. But, there are things I&apos;ve thought about posting that I never got around to actually talking about. Let&apos;s see if I can remember. * * * * There&apos;s a radio station in Austin called BobFM. Aside from the fact that it insults our intelligence by insisting that some guy named Bob bought the radio station (a perfectly good Oldies station, I might add) in order to “Play Anything”, I find that I really do like this station. They don&apos;t quite “play anything”, but they do come close. Anyway,…

Seriously guys – check this out. LiveJournal does Jabber! It should work for most clients – set up w/ Adium was a breeze. Plus, it automatically added all mutual friends to Adiums contact list, conveniently under a LiveJournal group. Neat. Oh, btw. This was posted using Frank the LJ bot on adium. o_O Cool. :::crosses fingers on intended formatting:::

We&apos;re having a nice, relaxing four day weekend. Aside from the minor annoyance of the HOA forcing a nationalistic display in my yard, it&apos;s been heavenly. So last night, I decided it was a good time to drink the raspberry lambic beer I had stashed in the fridge. I snag my trusty bottle opener, pop the top – and stare in dismay at the cork blocking my enjoyment of raspberry goodness. A cork?!? We don&apos;t own a corkscrew. We don&apos;t drink wine. The closest thing to wine I ever drink are wine coolers, and they definitely don&apos;t have a cork.…
