I deliver pizza a few nights a week. I don't really need the money but it's nice, I just like getting out of the house, and the owner of the place has done a lot to help my wife and me out, he's short handed right now, and I just got laid off (seasonal thing and collecting more in unemployment than most people I know are making actually working so not a big deal).
Taking a delivery to a house last night I went down on the ice HARD. Got a pretty nice bruise to show for it. That stopped my heart. I kept their pizzas upright and undamaged. Lady was standing at the door when I hit the concrete.
Guess how much she tipped.

Oh man, tell me she didn't stiff you Jude!
I took a nice tumble on the ice a few weeks ago, hopefully you aren't as sore this morning as I was when I pulled off the feat.

I was outside taking pics of my house with the Xmas lights on it and all of a sudden the entire street erupted in screams and shouts. FSU got a touchdown.

A rare enough occurence to cause a commotion, eh?
Hope the combined 'noles tears at the end of the game didn't cause flooding on your street...

The game Lil was speaking of was the Music City Bowl, held here at LP Field. I made the mistake of agreeing to drive one of our employees to her home in east Nashville, & got stuck in traffic crossing the river just as the game ended...nearly ran over a drunken Kentucky fan who was trying to hail an already taken taxi so he wouldn't have to walk all the way back to his car...
Remember, no good deed ever goes unpunished....

Hearing from the repair shop that my primary computer has blown its hard drive...
The 200+ smackers to repair the damage is bad enough, but knowing there's no guarantee they can salvage ANY of the data...that could be a disaster, esp. with tax time coming...
And guess who hasn't backed up any data lately?

SHAME SHAME on you.
That sound like a "don't bend over near a computer store in Nashville".

Ok, first off, I had no way of knowing that the prob was in the hard drive until they checked it out for me...
I can do the little upgrades & such on my own puter, as long as everything works like it's supposed to...but anybody who's spent a day or two with a puter knows that nothing ever works like it's supposed to...
