Just trying to beat the Iris news service.
I couldn’t find the door keys to open up this morning —– they were in my pocket.

We now have a Twitter account. –Actually we have two… Tom started one, “pioneer_loan” but I don’t know the login.

The other is pioneerpawn. and we have two tweets and one retweet.

Yippie, dippie, hip, hip, hurrah….. Wait a minute… What else do I (we) tweet? –I haven’t got the foggiest idea.

Let’s see…. I already told people to pay their interest because we want their money not their, Hmmm…. Errrrr….. items of great personal value. –Yeah, that’s it. “Items of great personal value.” (God I love it when I manage to be politically correct)

I tweeted about the basics of diamonds.

I retweeted about the guy who started Wikileaks trying to hold up amnesty international for $700k.

That’s three in two days. I’m exhausted. I think I’ll go up to Mikey’s office and take a nap.

I spoke to Mikey yesterday and discovered that he has a kitten.

It seems that this half grown cat showed up on their doorstep and refused to leave.
Now his kid has something to make crazy besides mommy and daddy.
(No pictures yet but I’ll ask him.)

Speaking of his kid, you could always hear her shouting for attention in the background when he’s on the phone. But now when she wants something her “daddy, daddy, daddy, daddy” is much easier to understand. –Even he still has trouble telling if she’s saying bowl or ball but she’ll learn to enunciate and then he’ll really regret she ever learned to talk.

Kids: You can’t wait until they learn to walk and talk. And then you wish they’d shut up and go sit in the corner.

According to the powers_that_be we’re about to join twitter and facebook. –”We” means me, and possibly Tom.
Mikey can’t spell, and the people who came up with this latest scheme (you all know who they are) are inevitably going to be “too busy” and none of the rest of you are willing to contribute so much as a recipe much less write anything. —Well we are going to need a bunch of stuff translated so you WILL contribute. —Bwahahahahaha

Now all we need to figure out is WTF we’re going to do with this “social media” crap.

Suggestions welcome… I know I’m shouting into the wind.

In it’s latest effort to keep the Barbie line current Mattel is proud to present Barbie Video Girl

She’s the ultimate multimedia doll. She comes with a built in video camera, editing software, an lcd screen and a usb port in her back so you can connect her directly to your computer.

Maybe it’s just me, but there’s just something creepy about a webcam dressed up to look like a doll.

A new creepy thought…… I wonder how many 40 year old guys are gong to buy one?….. For their “niece” of course.

When the kids whine that “there’s nothing to eat” you can always whip up a tasty snack from your own back yard.

And if you have pets always remember: “Don’t eat the yellow mud.”
