The Bane of Dieters Everywhere

nobody@vox.com(Jennifer) — Wed, 07 May 2008 17:39:21 -0400

The carnival is coming to town. They blocked off the streets this afternoon, and everything will be operational by dinner time tomorrow... so there's deep fried crap, cotton candy, the works. Haven't seen any of the "scary" carnies yet but I'm sur...

News & Politics QotD: The Sunday Paper

nobody@vox.com(Jennifer) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 19:41:07 -0400

What part does the Sunday newspaper play in your life? Coupons. I stack up the papers for recycling after I get my coupons. I don't even look at the rest of the paper, frankly. I buy four papers a week - that sounds crazy, but my coupon have ena...

Life QotD: Ouch, That Hurts!

nobody@vox.com(Jennifer) — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 14:32:12 -0400

What was your last injury? It was self-inflicted, per usual. I tried to jokingly kick a co-worker and I tripped over a trash can instead. Story of my life.

Vox Hunt: Ice Ice Baby

Show us the inside of your freezer. I took half the contents out the other day, trying to make more room. I've got milk and bread to fit in there yet. No clue how that's going to happen. Let's see - top shelf is Kevin's pretzels and apple tart ...

if the tit doesn’t fit, you must acquit

Funniest thing I read today, from Scott Adams' blog. I really feel badly for the woman. I can't imagine sitting in that courtroom. A reader sent me a link to a story about a Japanese woman who was accused of kicking a hole in some guy’s door, cr...

I've been wandering around Vox leaving air-headed comments today. In between silly comments, I've been buying shoes. I don't know why I bothered - dollars to doughnuts, I'll be returning them. I can't buy shoes off the rack without trying them on....

Yes! Buy Empty Ink Cartridges Now!

nobody@vox.com(Jennifer) — Tue, 04 Mar 2008 21:46:11 -0500

I worked at Staples for years. When the "bring in an empty ink cartridge, get a $3 coupon" program started, we had a few people who brought in a TON of cartridges. Our district had to implement a policy, and I see it's now a company-wide thing - y...

Progress

nobody@vox.com(Jennifer) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 22:13:53 -0500

Since I started digital scrapbooking, I am excited every time I finish a page. I have never, ever felt creative, except for the rather brief period in which I inexplicably thought I'd be a fiction writer. But scrapbooking appeals to my inner itch ...

That Bitch!

nobody@vox.com(Jennifer) — Mon, 03 Mar 2008 21:43:04 -0500

My husband says that Carrie Underwood's song "Before He Cheats" should be called "The Bitch is Going to Jail." I like the song. It's catchy and I like singing it while I drive down the road... but I cannot hear the chorus without hearing him say ...

Oops? No?

nobody@vox.com(Jennifer) — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 20:39:32 -0500

I logged into my hosted web space via SSH. I intended to delete everything inside one folder. I very unwisely used the rm -rf command (the "delete it all, folders included command). All gone. Everything. Three domains, assorted crap, lots of files...
