Yay, Matt!!!
Don't worry, we're sure to spot Faith first. She's like this cleavagy slut-bomb walking around 'Ooh, check me out, I'm wicked-cool, I'm five-by-five.'

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

YAY pay!
So, luckily I have only been leaning on the one CC through this past month. And while it has gone from manageable to maxed out, which is not great, the others are almost paid off. I just set up a payment to pay off one, pay half the remaining balance on another and now I will check on my emergency back-up that I have been using some this past week. If it is manageable, then operation TiVO is on.
It is exciting that theoretically by this time next month, I will only have a balance on one card. The monthly payments I made on the others (I had never used two of them as active cards) will now shift to that one balance and it should be gone within the year - barring more emergencies than the buffer can handle.

Ann, that's a ferret.
9/11 vs. Katrina vs. tsunami. (Full disclosure: I'm a Tulane alum who works in DC. So, personal connections to locations of two of those three.)
I'm very uncomfortable with any comparison of "which disaster is worse." Especially for disasters that have reached a certain level. And I think all three of those reached that level.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay Matt!

Not being personally close to any of those disasters -- I'm with FredPete.

re: TiVOs
from their FAQ - " If you currently have a 1-year or 3-year prepay service plan on your older TiVo DVR, it will be automatically transferred to your upgraded TiVo DVR. "
regarding lifetime service - "eligible customers that have Product Lifetime Service (PLS) on their current TiVo DVR can receive $100 off PLS on their upgraded TiVo HD DVR. Since PLS is not being transferred from the customer’s current TiVo DVR to their upgraded TiVo DVR the customer will be able to continue to enjoy their current DVR on another TV and get the benefits of Multi-Room Viewing."
they do try to put the best spin on things, don't they.

Yeah, I'm eligible for either the upgrade pricing OR the discount on service, but they won't combine them.
Still, if I switched to a CableCard, I'd still be saving money in the long run by switching to Tivo. Plus I'd have Tivo again...

As a quick FYI: Referendum 71 made it onto the fall ballot here in Washington.
On the surface, this seems to be a good thing - extend to all domestic partnerships all the rights and responsibilities of marriage.
However, it also EXPRESSLY forbids marriage to be anything except between one man and one woman.
The wording is extremely confusing (so much so that TWICE I've actually voiced my support for it...until a lawyer said, "That's not all it does..." and clarified things for me).
WA-istas, and other political activists: encourage people to educate themselves on this issue. I obviously have a stake in the outcome - but my emphasis here is education not persuasion towards a specific goal.
