 Dear Santa…
Dear Santa, This year I’ve been busy! In August I signed my organ donor card (28 points). Last Friday on a flight to Colorado Springs, I stole the emergency flight information card (-40 points). Last Monday I gave kdana a kidney (1000 points). Last Wednesday I bought porn for papertygre (10 points). Last Sunday I turned shirtlifterbear in for running naked in the mall (3 points). Overall, I’ve been nice (1001 points). For Christmas I deserve a Playstation 3!

Lately web advertisements have been making floating web things.
Really impressive terminology, eh? (ooh, forgive the ‘eh’ I was in Canada for the holiday)
Basically, ads appear on a web page floating over the page. More often than naught with a little close button on them.
Today, I opened CNN.com and was met by a wallet that appeared in a cloud. The cloud billowed a little, the wallet vibrated and then opened to show me a credit card. The amusing thing was that this all manifested over the front article of CNN which is entitled, “It’s official. The economy is in a recession.”
Because, nothing spells, financial frugality better than a credit card ad forcing itself in front of you over news about a recession with no way of escaping.
Personally, I think that the first thing we need to do as a nation is escape consumer credit. By amassing large credit bills, the nation has shown it’s willing to pay for things that it can’t afford. The public does this by the traditional bad behaviour of robbing Peter to pay Paul. Granted this has come as a result of the behaviour of our government which has done the same thing. Billions into a war and security theatre and watch education, the arts, scientific research, and jobs all trickle away.
Credit should be based on what you can pay for over time, not what you’ve paid for in the past. There are an amazing number of people out there who are about to enter into unemployment with starling credit. And that will only make them plunge further, faster.
What’s in your wallet? Nearly 10% can now answer, “Nothing.” with more to follow suit.
For now on my Facebook account.
More later.
Edit: Sorry, you’ll need a facebook acct to see them for now. Will move them here when I have time
We had an late afternoon snack of hummus and pita at the hotel. Aiden was VORACIOUS. (It was really good)
Maybe too much. Aiden didn’t really eat his dinner. He had a little chicken. Off to bed and asleep by 8:30 pm.
I got into bed around 10:30pm. King sized, sooooft pillows. About 11:15 Aiden started to toss. A lot of toss. more toss than usual. about 11:30 Aiden completely tossed. As in his cookies all over the bed and to varying degree us.
Kudos to the housekeeping staff for helping us thru that mini disaster. We entertained Aiden during the bed, sheet, and towel replacement with shorts from his newest favourite movie, “Wall-E.” This may be the first film I’ve bought without seeing first. I’m fully justified. Will watch it many times.
Boy and mommy are trying to relax back into redressed bed. Aiden now guarded in a towel fort in case of further surprise tonight.
Let’s just hope it was a nervous stomach and not something worse. More in the morning.
