There's a particular song (some rap song) that my kid plays that the dog starts dancing with him immediately when he hears it. I should film it and put it on youtube. It's hilarious.

Yeah, you should.

My kids play mine craft and have built a huge pyramid and a huge castle (I helped them lay out the foundations just for symmetry). I was maybe going to post it on youtube for them.

THe dog whisperer was on TV yesterday and said that dogs love to have a job to do.

I bet. I like that show. I've found it's usually not the dogs who are the problem tho, but the dumb owners.

What Toj said abuot teh bank service... i've seen commercials for Chase, and i think Bank of America has it too... any "major" bank i think can do it.

my mom has to raise cain wiht the bank my grandmother uses. she just found out that the bank hasn't been paying the utility bills she's entered into their online system. this is a smaller community bank (used to be named for a local landmark that PE & Squishy would nkow well), and shes been complaining about the interface the whole time. that may become a moot point, thoguh, if thsi doesn't get cleared up. there's enough in that bank to make them stand up and take notice, we think, should someone make a stink about the service and long term relationship and threaten to move the assets.

the more i realize it, the more spoiled i think we (as in hubby & me) are for using a large bank and an on-line only bank. yes, there are some fees to it, but we nkwo how to play the games and not get strangled by them

Nice! Pretty sure they can't legally back that up, but it's a start.

Speaking of cats, nobody watch this week's Hoarders.:-/

I'm busy giving Angus peanut butter filled bones so he won't bark at the TV.

Ha! The non-cat lady is hitting on the shrink. He's mountain-goating around her house and she's all "Heeeeyyyy, are you single?".

I agree, too. I think more judged should try it.

Nope. Won't fly. The courts can't do anything that interferes with your right to procreate. Too many ways for that to go wrong.

Sterilzing the unfit was still around in the 60's I think.
Eugenics was big in Hitler's Germany.

I will tolerate serial inseminators to avoid going back to the Eugenics thing

Ah, but this is a bit different... teh article says that was addressed, and they're not denying him the constittional right to procreate period, just until he has a J-O-B to cover it all... teh article cites a 2001 WI supreme court case on somethign similar:

In July 2001, Wisconsin Supreme Court justices upheld a Court of Appeals ruling that affirmed the probation condition stemming from a Manitowoc County case. In that case, a man had been charged with seven counts of intentional failure to support his nine children, according to the Supreme Court ruling in State vs. Oakley.

The justices ruled in that case that defendant David Oakley’s constitutional right to procreate wasn’t eliminated. He still could reproduce — if he made child support payments, according to the ruling.

but, given his biological role in procreation, i'm thinking it could still happen and nobody could knwo that (a) he did it and (b) it's his... those are teh bigger loopholes in this.

There you go bringing logic and humanity in to the argument.

We had Wells Fargo out in CO and also our mortgage with them. We also have a CC with them. I can check all my balances on website, which we liked, besides being happy with them.

When we moved to NC there were no Wells Fargo branches in state; however, they bought Wachovia right around that time, which was based in Charlotte, which subsequently all became Wells Fargo. So we were able to keep banking through them the whole time.

Banks are very ouchy about having screwed up he bill pay things. The bargaining chip is an agreement whether or not to publicize their screw up. They should fix it, pay any late charges a promise never to let it happen again.
