Happy Father's Day to all the Dad types. [link]

Pretty sure my landlord/friend has keys to the house. I lost a set of keys recently, I think in the yard, so I need to get another set made.

Watching Italy/NZ. The Kiwi goalkeeper is a badass.

That`s why I love my new combination code locks. Roommate just moved out, so I nix his code. Former student might need an emergency crash pad, I program her in her own code. Security issue? I can kill them all.

We have a combo lock at work, which is good since we have high student intern turnover.

Now I'm watching rugby, USA/France. France is only up by seven! Now if we could just stop the damn knockons.

Nope, I gave those back to you.

I need to distribute some more keys around. My friend who had them doesn't live anywhere nearby anymore which could be a pain.

oo, nifty! I'm gonna look into getting one of those. Does Home Depot/Lowes sell them?

So my Comcast vs. Dish decision is made. Although the Dish DVR is great, whereas Comcast DVR has a crappy user interface, I've lost signal enough times with Dish that I've lost patience. I just discovered that my Dish receiver can't do HiDef, making it useless with my new TV; the picture is too fuzzy to enjoy watching it. They told me that I could upgrade to HD for another $200. Cancellation fee, $94. Planning to cancel cable entirely once Leverage is done with its current run? Priceless.

They do have combo code locks at home depot. I looked at them but wasn't sure how expensive it'd be to have one installed.

I just don't lock my apartment door. My downstairs neighbor is usually home, so if I am locked out of the front door, she lets me in I guess she could also be exploring every day in my apartment, but I don't think so.

Hah. Wish I could do that--I could probably not lock the garage door if I trusted I was going to remember to close the garage, but I have forgotten a few times. And it's not a great neighborhood. My old building I could get in the front door (there was a secret code) but not my apartment. But only did it once in 2.5 years. OTOH, this is now twice in like, four months. Have called locksmith. We'll see how long and how expensive. Sigh.

Erin, I take Seroquel and have been for several years now - wait no, more like 7 years. Your doctor should be suggesting you get blood work done a regular basis to make sure everything is okay (and you aren't increasing your risk for diabetes).

My dr. said the seroquel is temporary, to get my sleep schedule regulated without the high doses of Ambien. I took 50 mg last night, and I slept like a rock. In about 3 weeks, we are going to see what new meds (AD, anti-anxiety) I can switch to, so I don't think I'll be taking it super long.

In fact, I just got up, which is a Father's Day FAIL, as I was going to make French toast and sausage, but I am making a pot roast tonight anyway.

meara, you need to make a secret key TODAY and stash it somewhere in your hood.

OMG, Sophia, lock your door! That's so scary. I was raised in the country where no one ever locks there doors, so I get it, but ever since I was mugged inside my own house, I am a freak about locking the doors! PEOPLE ARE CRAZY, YO.
