        5 dollar cuts on 700 east and about 800 south. Of course I am bald so only the sides need taking care of and there is no styling involved, but they get a nice neat cut done every time.

        • Irony story.

          My bedroom smoke alarm's been chirping the last two mornings. Chirps every 40 seconds 100 cycles then quits. Apparently there's a monitoring system inside the alarm that notices when I reach my deepest sleep it will begin to chirp. The alarm is on a vaulted ceiling about 14 feet up, and requires a step ladder on top of a table to reach it. To make room for the table under the alarm I had to move my back inverter out of the way, while doing so, I wrenched my back, and now it's out of whack. So I put the ladder on the table, climbed up and took out the old 9 volt and put in the new one. It didn't go in naturally so I monkeyed with it and it went into place. I take the ladder off, scoot the table back into place, move the inverter back, and get back to my virtual world. Just when I gave myself an atta-boy for the job well done, the chirper starts again telling me the battery isn't in right. Damn.

          The irony was hurting my back moving the inverter, and I have to do it all over again. Damn.

              It isn't ironic to hurt your back moving a piece of equipment. In fact it is pretty common to hurt ones back while moving equipment. It is a coincidence that you hurt your back moving a piece of back equipment, though.

                clack's story reminded me of a case I defended a while back. The Plaintiff was at the gym doing exercises to strengthen his back muscles to help prevent future spine injuries when he suffered a mild to moderate spinal injury.

                • These almost always make me laugh:

                  “There is a great deal of difference in believing something still, and believing it again.”

                    "Wuap's "problem" is that he is smart & principled & committed to a moral course of action. His actions are supposed to reflect his ethical code.

                    • Im at a conference, and just heard a talk from Dan Ariely, (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dan_Ariely). He's the best conference speaker I've heard since Frank Abagnale. I love behavioral economics-- it's like game theory for dummies, so right up my alley. I just googled Ariely, and see that he's done some TED talks, I can't wait.

                            First they pretend ban junkie, now this! When will the power grab end? Next their will start being rule accounts for members and special friends of the EC, all these years later and seems that we return to our CB roots.

                              I was looking at the database last year and I noticed that it was getting really bloated. After a little digging I discovered that the spammers had created thousands of blog entries advertising their porn/fake watches/etc. I did a bunch of checking around and decided that the simplest and most effective way to block them was to just turn off the blog feature. It did not seem to have been used much by our real posters (with current exception duly noted). Sure enough, nobody complained for a year or so.
