I got my brother that tshirt for Christmas one year. My mother used to call us Heckle and Ralph (which for some reason we thought were their names) when we were teasing her or each other. He loves it.

OMG the Jerk Whisperer poster is awesome.

ita ! I cannot believe the bullshit you have to deal with every weekend. Why on earth is there no SOP for you at the hospital? (I actually do know, it's because of the whole war on drugs and criminalization of painkillers.) I am enraged on your behalf.

I didn't make it to Octoberfest because I spent all day yesterday wiht my folks, having the same conversations over and over. Then I went to my sister's house for beer and baseball (sigh).

Today we did a ridic hilly run and I have had an omelet. Now I need to get off my ass and do laundry and all that other useful stuff.

OMG, I am so grossed out by the ad where the little girl lets the dog lick the spoon and then puts it back into the bowl and then grandma licks it! (And somewhat amused by the fact that they make a point that it's frosting, not batter -- because you know we can't eat raw eggs!)

Ugh. My boss is already mad at me, I bet. I made a bad call (I didn't ask for emergency approvals to reboot a backup server) at work this morning, and I didn't inform him properly--but WHAT THE FUCK. My head hurts so badly. He asked me to put out the emergency ticket now, and I told him I couldn't because I'm not well...I've taken four calls so far this morning. I kind of wish I'd stayed at the hospital.

Thankfully, a co-worker is running the ticket, but...if boss gives me guff, I will tell him I left the house at 2 in the morning and went to hospital. And then went back the next day, if it comes to that (which it sure feels like right now). I am not even pretending to have good decision making skills. I want to not have to do any of this stuff right now.

I am listing things on ebay and amazon. 2 things relisted because people never paid for things they won (WTF people?!?!?), and 3 books listed this far. Should be $25 - 30 if it all sells. If I can get another batch of stuff listed in the next 2 hours maybe I can double that. I put $20/month from selling stuff into my budget to try and prompt me into getting the stuff out of my house. I feel really weighted down by stuff right now.

I'm so impressed by you. When I had to empty out my bedroom, I knew I should list at least the nicer clothes on eBay, but I ended up just donating everything out of sheer laziness.

I've done that also, two bags of vintage clothes in New York. But I have the space here to store things, part of why it takes me so long to work through all the stuff to list, but I am trying to both be really frugal and show mac the value of things even after we are done with them.

You = awesome. But we knew that.

I'm too lazy to do the ebay thing; packing things up and mailing them out is something I'm horrible at. However, I did take a bunch of clothes to a consignment shop a couple weeks ago, and I also brought stuff to the same consignment store in the Spring. I did pretty well with the Spring clothing, and I've made $5 so far this Spring.

I pack the stuff as soon as I list it, so I only have to print the label for mailing. McPhee actually takes the stuff to the PO now, but with a PO only a block away it does make the process easier. I should probably think about taking some of my clothing stuff to a consignment shop if it does not sell, there is one near my parents, but I think you have to make an appointment to sell stuff and Saturday would be my only day for that.
