Yay, Merlin! Congratulations on becoming calibrated to your new home!
P-C every thing you are saying makes me think a consultation with a chiropractor is in order. You know, unless you do start shooting webbing from your wrists. In which case ComiCon will be your bitch.
Ballroom 20 is full? That's okay, I don't need a seat, I'll just hang from the ceiling.
Oh, poop. I'm checking my credit card statement so I can pay it, and I see the charge from Priceline for the car we rented on vacation, and it's the correct amount, so that's cool. Then several lines down there's a charge in the same amount from Alamo (which is the rental company we used) for the exact same amount. Balls.
So, I'm calling Alamo. Literally, right now I am on hold. Sneaky bastards. I have an Alamo receipt that indicates I used Priceline AND which shows my balance due is zero (since I already paid Priceline). Grumble.

Well, that was fast. The person I talked to looked everything up, said I shouldn't have been charged, and is refunding it. I made sure to get a confirmation number and whatnot, so I can follow up in case it doesn't get refunded.
Oh, I forgot to mention that Firecracker Boy texted me this morning (he's now in my phone as Firecracker Zeww, so I won't run across his name accidentally but I'll have context). He wanted to know what projects I had going on today. No, I did not respond.
gotta love pushy people who should have gotten the hint 9 times ago.

Sad news: Ernest Borgnine has died of renal failure at 95. link
I really enjoyed his work. McHale's Navy was a staple of my after school viewing and he always seemed like a genuinely sweet guy in interviews.
eta: what. do. you. know. I had not idea he had been married to Ethel Merman for less than 6 weeks. Heh. They were even more impetuous than Kim Kardasian!
As for Fireworks Zeww...while I can sort of understand the entertainment value of watching his cluelessness, I'm with whoever it was who suggested blocking his number upthread.
Creepy seeks its lowest level. It's interesting until it is suddenly awful.
eta: heh. that was a totally lame mispost. I have no knowledge of Fireworks guy's relationship with Ethel Merman.
smonster, I hope Fireworks Zeww gets a clue and realizes his attention is no longer wanted.
We're finally getting thunder and lightning, and little bits of rain. Here's hoping we get a decent soaking rainfall. We've been without for nearly a month.
