What do you do with a piglet who is afraid of mud? Why get her a set of wellies, courtesy of a Paddington Bear doll.

Seriously, click it – it is TOO ADORABLE!!

Absolutely adorable baby monkey at the London Zoo – with video.

Bronze Age burial ‘with beer mug’

Canterbury Archaeological Trust said the curled-up skeleton was an example of a “Beaker” burial because of the pottery vessel placed at its feet.

Education officer Marion Green said the “beautifully decorated” pot could have been “a type of beer mug”.

For those celebrating this evening (or continuing the celebrations that seem to have started on Friday night) – please don’t drink green beer.  That’s just wrong. consolidation debt loan paydaysonic payday loan,loan payday sonicfast cash payday advanceguaranteed loan payday,fax guaranteed loan no payday,faxless guaranteed loan paydaychicago in loan payday store,chicago loan payday storepayday loan no faxing requiredez money payday loanfax loan payday,day? fax loan payday same ?no,call fax loan no no paydaypayday loan applicationadvance loan payday software? ?cash1 hour payday loanadvance cash fax no paydayten dollar payday loanquick payday loanfaxless online payday loanloan online payday quickfax free loan paydayno fax payday advance loan,no fax no telecheck payday loan,fax loan no paydayapplication loan online paydayguaranteed payday loanpayday loan 1000america cash loan payday,cash america payday loanfast payday loanadvance cash loan? payday ?direct lender loan online payday,loan online payday,completely loan online paydayloan payday,payday loan company,no credit check payday loanbad credit loan payday quick,bad credit loan loan payday personal,bad credit loan paydaymoney tree payday loancash advance payday loan softwareloan till paydaypayday loan torontoadvance loan online paydayloan payday quick,payday loan,cash loan paydayloan oneclickcash paydayno credit payday loanfree loan payday,interest free payday loan,payday first loan freeadvance cash loan payday quickpayday loan store in chicago,alabama loan payday store,loan payday storeonline payday loan servicecash international loan payday servicescheap payday loanloan payday yahoocheap loan long payday term,cheap loan paydaycash loan payday tilez payday loancash fast loan paydayloan until paydaypayday loan without fax,fax payday loan,fax less payday loanemergency loan paydayadvance cash net payday usa

If you want unfettered access to the ‘net, you’d best bring your own WiFi card to Denver’s airport.

Pretty ridiculous if you ask me, but at the same time, if you’re using their service for free – can you realistically expect there won’t be a catch somewhere?

In other news, if someone will make this magic laptop bag for the TSA, can I stop taking my shoes off every time I have to fly?

Thanks, boingboing.net

The lovely kitiara is going to go jump into freezing cold water to benefit Special Olympics.  There is even a raffle for an iPod if she makes her fundraising goal of $1500!

It’s a win-win-win situation.  Special Olympics gets help.  You could end up with a new iPod.  You aren’t the one having to jump in the water!

Click here for more info and go donate!

She’s getting really close to her goal – every little bit helps!

The weather is too cool to leave the back door open for the dog. This has resulted in his doing his very best to make me insane as he cannot decide if he wants to be in or out.

But all I find is weird and annoying.

Why do I see Homeland Security somehow getting involved in this and confiscating the monitor and placing charges of illegal wiretapping? A baby monitor in Chicago is picking up NASA video.

For the “I’m so proud of our city” files – Judge suing dry cleaners for $54M. The case has been around for a while and should be finished up in the next week. What I would really like to see is this: Defendant pays for a replacement pair of pants. Plaintiff has to pay all court and legal costs of all parties for bringing forth such a freakin’ ridiculous lawsuit that should have never gone anywhere besides small claims court.

More toxic toothpaste!! This time it’s in the US, it’s counterfeit and branded as Colgate.

Thanks to Paperpath for passing on the link.

I can completely see the appeal in doing this – there isn’t much better than having a clean slate to work with, and this would definitely do it.

In other news, I have actually been READY for my Philly trip – as in everything actually packed and ready to go (less a few minor “oh, I need” items) since around 8PM this evening – this is nothing short of a miracle for me. Normally, I’d still be doing laundry at this point and freaking out. Here’s to making a concerted effort to get my sorry ass more organized and it actually paying off!

I am really looking forward to this trip. The main reason is the Philly Flower Show, which my Mom & I had said on more than one occasion that we needed to do, but unfortunately, hadn’t managed to do. Well, no time like the present. Additionally, I’ll be hitting the King Tut exhibit (ticket in hand!) and I have reservations at a couple very promising places for dinner. The Cuba Libre Restaurant and Rum Bar and
Moromoto. Yes, that Morimoto. And I’ll be doing my damndest to hit Monk’s Cafe to boot. This trip has quickly turned into the “Happy Birthday to Me” eating and drinking fest.

Hopefully many really good pics will follow in the next couple days.

Stained glass PC case

Via the feed – tons and tons of kitties on the internet!

My del.icio.us account has been very, very handy this week with the laptop being in the shop. Just realized I’ve got over 300 links over there… Kinda crazy, but it’s nice to have it all in one place and accessible from anywhere.

Talked w/the service manager over at the shop, the DVD drive is on order and should be here in a day or so and he apologized for no one getting back to me, so here’s hoping it’s not much longer until I have my laptop again.

It’s…interesting. Don’t think these will make the cut for my future purchases.

From this post

I can tell she’s an awesome massage therapist and loves what she does and her clients are very lucky! Also, major props for the fact that she never became Bridezilla when she was planning her wedding. Very impressive! And just an all around nice person. Not enough of those in the world if you ask me.

Not many folks are brave enough to up and move a good 2/3 of the way across the country and go back to school, but damned if she didn’t do it. :) Also, she seems to be shrinking, and has been working incredibly hard at it and doing great!!!!!!!

Apparently talking of dates at the gun range brings out the good in people. Who knew? :)

Yes, stolen word for word – but she put it perfectly.

Comment here and I’ll tell you something I like about you. So comment away, and I’ll visit this again later to spread the love. :)

I know a few of you could use a little extra love these days… but even if you are doing just fine, feel free to participate.

(I’ll give it a day or so and it will get it’s own LJ Love post.)

OK, yes, I am one of those people that will actually sit and watch drumline competitions when they’re on TV. Love it. Picked up this link from Fark.com – it’s easily the best I’ve ever seen.
