Waiting on the building official to show up for my 10 am appointment to inspect my pellet stove install.

Glad he thinks his time is more valuable then mine....

No harm in protecting yourself. Keep deposits within FDIC and SIPC limits, insist on getting book entry on securities (out of custodial accounts) or take possession of certificates, add some gold/silver before it runs away. I bet Goldman and Morgan Stanley will be shopping for buyers in the next few months, Merrill Lynch style.

Goldman and Morgan Stanley down 20-30% today. Yeah, they're on deck....Gold's up 60 bux.

Now I'm sitting in traffic on the way to one of my job sites. I really want to check the place out because I have a compliance inspection there tomorrow.

Finally got the damn washer fixed -- did it myself

I'd like to have my foot on the engineer's throat who put this beotch together !! NO schematic dwg , no instructions and the worst damn clearances for repair.
I Had to remove 6 items JUST to change a damn drive belt and with NO schematic dwg to guide me u can bet i put it on backasswards first -- totally pissed. I then had the thrill of doing it all over GRRRR !!
No help on website , nothing in their specs, their customer service folk were about as helpful as a turd -------------here's the take away --- AMANA SUX

Well the funeral industry is going downhill due to the rising cremation rate..funeral directors have it much tougher due to long hours and being on call all the time. We are actually benefitting from the rising cremation rate because funeral directors are selling our monuments as a way to make up lost revenue and provide one stop shopping for their customers. The old school way of thought among undertakers was that they didn't go to Mortuary school to sell tombstones but the younger breed of funeral directors are more business savvy and know that they need to maximize each death..especially now when the death rate is flat..in 10-15 years the death rate will be at it's highest ever due to all the baby boomers..The oldest boomers are in their early 60s now and if they're obese and smokers they're already becoming customers of mine..

i keep thinking about the scene in The Big Lebowski where they argue with the funeral director to get the ashes.. the lowest priced urn is too much so they go out and buy a coffee can.....

friggin hilarious...
