One of my orders from Amazon has been cancelled. The item wasn't in stock, but they still had it showing as available on the site.
Well, I did not get charged for it, so no big deal. This is the 4th time that a seller on Amazon had to cancel my order.

That happened to me a few weeks ago on Barnes and Noble on an OOP film. The most annoying thing was that the listing wasn't removed until at least a week after my order was canceled.

I decided to be responsible with the money that I was saving up toward a new tv and use it to pay on a line of credit. The joys of being an adult.

if it was on a credit card, you can now take that credit card and use it to buy the tv.

win/win

seriously, though, sometimes it sux being an adult. there are those times when you do something adult-like and it just feels wrong. but good on you for doing the responsible thing. you'll be rewarded later, i'm sure.

Believe me, I have thought about turning around and buying the tv, several times.

Yea, being an adult does suck but I'll get this line of credit paid off with the next pay check and that will free up an extra 100 a month to pay on my credit card until tax time. My tax refund will be used to pay the bulk of that card off. Then I'll have extra to put on the second credit card and once that's paid off, I'll be golden.

I want to get these all paid off before the Wife and I decided to start trying to have kids. Plus, with these paid off, it'll free up enough money for me to get a new car! I've always wanted to own a brand new car, fresh off the lot.

please pray for my car, I am going to get a new battery put in and hope that fixes the problem. Seems less that every 2 years the ever start battery from walmart dies on me. So I am getting one from Advance Auto Parts down the street from the house.


I really need my car

I've got several channels showing football, but all the NFC ones are showing the Cardinals/Seahawks game. Not one fricken channel is showing the 49ers/Redskins game. Yes, the Cards/S.H. game is huge and maybe a bit more important, but I'd sure like to have the choice.
I have now finally learned and will be switching from cable to satellite so that I can get Sunday Ticket as soon as I can.

if you are a digital artist and you are battling "art block" (like I am and were) consider investing in a new office chair. as soon as that new seat was constructed I plowed through some work with an efficiency I haven't had for 3 months.

a comfy seat is good for production haha!

trying to figure out if it was a wise decision called vanderbilt voice center this morning

to see whether or not injection wore off vocal cord that had few years ago always had trouble talking folks on phone folks can't understand me and all

i thought was going to talk to doctor instead going to phone call 1 day this week from speech/voice people and then go from there

if it is truly gone which all injection did was just make voice louder that's all i'm not real sure want round 2 i doubt there's an injection that last long term now days meh

basically something must had happen vocal cords during 1 of my surgeys as a child 1 being paralized i didn't know had paralized vocal cord until 6th grade btw

i just don't know if i want to wake up having oxygen mask on face then next few weeks not being able to talk then making animal noises being a horse and mickie mouse then nomal voice

perhaps i shall just be a low talker forever continue repeating things and writing stuff down loud noisy places and folks can't understand what i'm saying never hear my real voice don't do another injection if voice is gone by now or not

can't believe all this violence over that Ferguson case. I get you're angry, but burning down businesses and blowing up cars and starting fights isn't going to solve the issue, geniuses.

I'll be paying off a line of credit with friday's paycheck! This means that the new tv fund is born again! I very well might be able to make a purchase in January. Although it'll be a basic, non smart, 3d, or 4k set but still, it'll double the refresh rate and provide a jump in screen size from 42 to 60!

My daughter is here with us. YAY!!!

The snow sure has been pounding at us. We were going to leave tomorrow but have decided we'll wait another day to give the road maintenance people time to get it safe for us again.

My hockey team is on a 10 game slide right now. It's pretty tough to take and watching the games has become very difficult to do.
