I thought I was having a bad day. Seriously, today was one of those days that you just wish never happened. It wasn't horrific or anything. It was just one crappy thing after another until I got home and found the crap d'resistance in my mail box.

But as far as the group activity thing goes, how do I find a group like that? I can look up "knitting group", "hiking group" etc., but I can't look up "group that meets every Saturday afternoon."

Chuck Wepner (aka 'The Bayonne Bleeder') was the epitome of the slow, ponderous, ham & eggs white guy boxer. He's also one of a select few who can honestly say
he's knocked out Muhammad Ali (youtube, knockout is at 4 mins. 40 secs in), was the
last man to fight Ali's one-time nemesis Sonny Liston and to
get in the ring with wrestling legend Andre The Giant. These exploits made the Jersey-bred Wepner
the inspiration for Rocky Balboa. In a surreal twist, here
Ali confronts the fictional incarnation of his nemesis.

Speaking of advice that sucks.... Ever get really irritated by someone who gives you advice that is not only unsolicited but that is so spectacularly bad that you just wonder how they couldn’t possibly have known better? I used to work with a woman who specialized in this sort of advice giving. She drove me — and the entire team we were on — absolutely mad, but there was one time when her advice giving afforded me endless amusement, and does to this day, nine years on. Hell, when I’m ninety I’ll still find this funny.

This makes me sad and angry Girls turned away from their prom for showing too much cleavage.
But, a slide show reveals a bunch of run-of-the-mill prom dresses, nothing out of the norm from my own prom a decade ago, or any other I'd imagine. It does, however, show us many girls who are either on the larger side or have been "blessed" as my mother calls it. A "blessing" that, IME, leads to looking like President of Boob Island no matter what you've got on.

appraising my house. so what? I bought a house last year and am in the process of doing some cosmetic work to it. I have a 30 year fixed mortgage and am on track to pay it off in 15. I looked at the purchase history and it was bought in 2004 for about 30 less than what I paid for it. So say I get the work done (restoring wood floors, remodeling the bathroom, possibly adding a second bathroom) and it turns out to be worth more than I paid for it, so what? What can I do with that? I'm not looking to flip the house. I'd rather stay put for quite some time. Is there any point to having it appraised again?
