Ha!, No, mine's still on my phone. I grabbed both those off the web.

However will you survive?

Look, woman, fucking acknowledge my pain, or else. And you won't like my else, not one bit.

I had a BMW buff in my car a few months ago, and it was interesting how many things you could take it in to have programmed to work another way, even on a 2003 like mine. So the arrow might be something like that--defaults on, but your service centre can change the programming if you want.

When I went in yesterday to get my car, I told the cashier my full name and car make, model, and year. She asked if I was Bonnie. I said no, ita. She asked if it was a 2002. I said, no, I'll take that one if it's good, but mine's a 2003, like I said. And then she pushed back again.

Isn't there a point at which I'm the expert? And when the topic is my name, that could be a time? I explained to her I'd paid for the repairs the day before and I already had my paperwork but they had needed to fix something else, and Lamar had called this afternoon to tell me that was done. "I don't know about that," she said. "I'll have to call Lamar and see."

[insert phone call here]

"It seems you've already paid for your work, and the paperwork is done and you have it, not me. They'll bring the car around in a minute."

Oh, hey, look at the places we could have been five minutes ago if you hadn't pushed back. Why do so many customer service people push back in weird places? Are we, the customers, that bad? And, no, don't send me to that website. I need to believe it's predominantly faked. Jesus, Darwin needed to be more drastic when he "invented" evolution.

I just realised I'm holding off on the cable thread because of Leverage. 15 minutes more!

hold up: Is Charles Pierce of Esquire the same "Charlie" Pierce on WWDTM?

The second Pierce has a great laugh that always makes me laugh and his sense of humor is really excellent. I thought they were two different people.

But I'm seeing Pierce on Chris Hayes this morning and the voice sounds familiar. So now I'm experiencing discombobulation.

I just spent my Saturday morning catching up on The Daily Show. Wednesday... holy crap, Chaos on Bullshit Mountain may be the angriest and greatest thing Jon Stewart has ever, ever done.

isn't that great? My twitter feed loves it.

Same one le nubian. (I know because he mentioned the Hayes thing on the blog.)

JZ, so much yes. I wonder what and how much they edited out.

Heh, ok, I'm happy now, I've been threatened by ita !. And hey, I know when to step back...garlic is a good line to draw.

It took me forever in my car to work out what that icon meant. It kinda looks to me like Steph's line drawing icon of a nekkid back/bum. So I kept looking at it all, why is there an ass on my dashboard? Which is not a question that comes up for me a lot, let me just say. It took more than one instance of, hey, ass on dashboard and also my tire is low, for me to work it out. (Yes, I could have looked it up. Shut up.)

Anyway. You know what the problem with clearing out the sunroom is? Immediate subsequent desire to nap in said sunroom. Man, I love this room.

brenda,

I know he was on Hayes, but is he the one on WWDTM?

Scrappy, I am so sorry to hear that, and I wish you, your family and your mom all the best.
