Where's the Breeze, Man?

[Diva]

There's no breeze. Zero. Zilch. nada. The trees are just... standing there. So is the air. Trying to get our apartment cool is like an act of Congress. We're trying to save money and the idea of cooking VS ordering out is too tempting. I'm without a paycheck for two more weeks (which means a month total) so the money is tight. That's a whole other issue too. Instead of every two weeks I get paid once a month. that means I have to rethink my budget and spending practices. It seems like it would be better. Pay all the bills on the first and work with what you have left. Let's see if that's really how it is. I've managed to finally get some cushion back in my account and don't want it to go away because of this. Considering I basically lose a paycheck changing to this method It's a tough call. Anyway, the money's tight, the temperature sucks and cooking is a sucky option. That about sums it up. Or... bitch bitch bitch. Same thing, less wordy.

Ahem. You're in LA, dear. You need to pick up the phone and call the CEO at Industrial Light & Magic. Apparently their mainframe has suffered a freeze-up, and nobody is manning the helm! Bitch, bitch, bitch and bitch some more!!! Heads are going to roll over at IL&M for this one!



We're trying to save money and the idea of cooking VS ordering out is too tempting....and cooking is a sucky option.

Well, cooking in, is more budget-conscience than ordering out. But, as you have stated earlier, JakeD is the cook and you're not. So I propose until your first monthly paycheck is in hand, you see to it that every moment of JakeD's free time is spent strapped to a chair with his eyelids wired open, (a la A Clockwork Orange) watching the Food Channel on TV. That experience should optimize his cooking abilities with regard to budgeting the monthly meal plans! As for you, you should dig up a copy of Peg Bracken's I Hate to Cook Book, (1960) keep it in the john, peruse it every time you tinkle-- and memorize it.

Read about Peg Bracken's book HERE (http://www.slashfood.com/2006/01/31/the-i-hate-to-cook-book/)
Available at AMAZON (http://www.amazon.com/Hate-Cook-Book-Peg-Bracken/dp/0151392633)

Instead of every two weeks I get paid once a month. that means I have to rethink my budget and spending practices. It seems like it would be better. Pay all the bills on the first and work with what you have left. Let's see if that's really how it is.

In my lifetime, I have been paid, weekly, biweekly and monthly. I say monthly is better. It's as you thought-- get all those necessities (bills) paid first and then you can budget out the full month. It will break old spending habits. Example: Scarlett-O'Hara-Syndrome-- "Fiddle-dee-dee, I'll just buy this little ol' thing now, after all tomorrow is another day-- and another paycheck!" Plus, it's training for the future-- :)all venues of retirement checks are paid out monthly!

Star wars crawl shut down due to complaint from Lucasfilm

You know what? Fuck all media companies. I vow to never pay for another fucking movie, song or tv show. That's what they fucking get for shit like that.

Also, what you need is some cross-ventalation. Get a powerful fan and put it on one window blowing in, and another fan at a door/window on the other side of the house blowing out.

I gotst teh breeze in mah pants..

I has window Air Condidioner blowing directly on me. Brrr I am so cold! :D

It's very breezy in San Antonio. But it's also like 100 degrees, so the breeze is like sitting in front of a hair dryer.

[Unforgiven]

I laugh at you all, sitting in 77F weather.

When are you Americans going to join the rest of the world and use the Metric system. I'm tired of having to look up the temperature on a conversion chart every time someone says the temp.

Also, it's cooler here Unf! :P BLEEEE!

When are you Americans going to join the rest of the world and use the Metric system.


There was a half-hearted try in the 1970s, but nobody wanted to think in those kinds of digits.

Marilyn Monroe's figure in metrics would be: 94 60 89. Such huge numbers for body proportions would have convinced every woman in America that they were fat.

On the flip-side, the average American male would be a 15, but American males did not need any further boost to the libido as it was!

Get that scenario: All those "libido crazed" males running around in the midst of all those "fat" women who would abhor the thought of being seen naked!
Think Lysistrata. America would truly be the battleground for a War of the Sexes!
