vviles, what do you think about the book Glasses2
Well, I read it when it was a new release, so that was a while ago. I think he wrote about what could be seen as tragic in a lighthearted, conversational tone. He's very witty. They being said, I gave the book away (this is prekindle), so I didn't see it as something I'd go back to. I didn't hold onto it for reference or reread, so it was disposable.

Yeah, just reading the movie synopsis makes it clear that the story is tragic, to say the least. But the 5mins that I caught were hilarious, especially watching Annette Bening being mentally ill. I think I'll give it a go, if I can find it used for super cheap.

I have never been a fan of any of the Baldwins. There's like 10 of them right? LMAO

That being said, I think Alec is the only one I find even remotely attractive at this stage of their life. Sly

Daiya (cheese )

I had never heard of it before

If try it and maybe eat it on occasion, but man, it's all processed science experiment, not real food. This is why Im not 100% vegan. I'd rather a chunk of a real piece of natural cheese rather than robot factory cheese processed food.

I'm going to try to make yogurt first, then cheese.

I *think* there is four
1Alec is by far the alpha
2 One of them is an overweight b movie actor
3 One seems pretty normal and is married to The blonde from Wilson Phillips
4 One pretty much takes the roles Alec declines- like dad on gossip Girl Teehee - wait this may also be 3- - in that case Stress

One that is not fat or Alec will be back on Celebrity Apprentice

Some people cook or serve food on them. I hear they are good for grilling on drool - leave a little salty taste on the food. Plus they are pretty!

I'm sure VF will give specifics Eat

Nope, not my kinda utensil. Alderwood planks for salmon, maybe. Never used a salt tile.

OK I read the HuffPost article and got all teary eyed and stuff. Then I clicked the actual Facebook link that takes you to the FB post with the picture. Apparently there is an update to the story [facebook.com] that has me sick to my stomach.

Here's the update text, for those who don't wanna click over to Facebook. If you do click the link, you can read the updates in the order they were made, starting at the bottom. This is just the most recent update, which apparently was posted yesterday at some point.

Quote :
DAVE AND BUZZ UPDATE:
VOICEMAIL FROM DAVE THOMAS THREATENING TO SUE ME Frown
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yfvuk6ju9Mk

I just got a phone call from KTLA channel 5. Apparently, Dave has called to inform them that I am keeping the money raised for his dog. I have transferred $842.07 into my bank to reimburse myself for the shelter fees, vet and PetSmart shopping spree that I put onto my personal credit card. I had a discussion regarding the remainder of the donations and how he would like to spend them. I said it would be a good idea to pay off any outstanding tickets so that he will not be taken to jail in the future for having a warrant for unpaid traffic tickets. I asked if he had any bills that were due at the time. I told him that every dime that was donated would go to him and Buzz, but that I would not be giving him the cash. I explained to him that the money that was donated was a blessing for him, I wanted to be sure that we respected that and used the donations responsibly. He sat next to me and nodded his head, Not one response, question or concern.

After I hung up with KTLA channel 5, I tried to call Dave. His wife would not let me speak to him. She screamed at me that I was stealing their dog's money. She said they have called the news stations and that if I did not give them their money, they were going to call the police.

I am exhausted from this entire experience. This is the last thing I needed or expected. I will not be giving Dave or his wife one single penny, what I will do is refund the money that was donated to Dave. I have had my life and the lives of my children devastated by drug addiction. I will play no part in supporting anyone's habit. I just can't.

That being said, if you would like me to refund your donation that was made for Dave, please email me at [email protected] and put REFUND as the subject. I will send the refund tonight. If you would like to transfer your donation that was for Dave to another urgent animal in this album, please email [email protected] and put DONATE TO URGENT SBC DOG. I will put your donation towards a homeless animal that will live or die depending on whether or not a rescue has the funds to help them. If I do not get a response within 1 week of this posting, I will refund the amount donated with an explanation of why it is being refunded. I know not all who have donated will see this post.

So to sum this up, I have been reimbursed for all expense to rescue Buzz from the high kill San Bernardino City Shelter and reunite him with his owner Dave Thomas. There are donations leftover. The donations will NOT go to Dave after the stunt he has pulled. If you still want Dave to have your donation, I will have to ask you to send it to him personally. I do not have an email for him, maybe he will post it.

No good deed goes unpunished, right?

Thank you for understanding why I cannot proceed with this as planned. For those who disagree with my decision, please keep your thoughts to yourself. I don't think I can take another hit right now.

I'm glad the dog was able to get bailed out of a high kill shelter, but now I'm extremely upset with the owner's words and actions. I just posted the update to the story which apparently hasn't made HuffPost yet.

The snowstorm (more like blowstorm, in a bad way, right right?) has started. Naturally on the day I want to go check out a '95 del Sol.
