Dude, you have no idea how bad I was in high school.  Srsly!!  If you graduated, I know I was worse.

On the topic of my delinquent neighbor, I spoke to both of my lanlords on my drive in to work this morning.  It turns out that they are well aware of this woman and what she is doing.  They are in the process of having her evicted and recommended that I call the police the next time it happens.  It looks like I'll be getting to know some of the local police officers in my town.

Getting to know the POPO can be good... I only got through the first 2 years becasue I played sports Junior here I stopped being an idiot, probably due to switching schools. Upon going to my new school I ended up with straight A's the real way, not because teachers gave me grades because I could shoot a hockey puck.

I'm not into getting to know the police.  I'd rather they not know I exist and I stay under the radar.  Being in MA with out of state plates and an out of state license, the cops love to give me shit about not having a MA license so they can collect all their outrageous fees and taxes.  I'm not worried about a ticket, since I know enough people to get them tossed.  I just don't want the headache.

As far as high school goes, it was the worst 3 years of my life.....

.....at least what I can remember.

Hey Mike, I was watching Overhaulin this morning and the guy who comes in every so often to paint real flames has your name lol

[Mike]

He's actually a relative very distant but, related. The only other "famous" person in my family tree is Calixa Lavallee... If you can tell me what he did without looking it up I'll be impressed.

[slipkord]

That's pretty cool...I have no idea who he was, just googled him. That's something pretty awesome man.

[Mike]

Yeah its a neat fact to be able to share with people. My family paid someone a while back to look at our Geneology it's a pretty neat thing to have done. You never know who you are related to.

He's got a great moustache for a canuck!!

Does anyone know how to get rid of cigarette smoke smell in a house? Some workers at my condo smoked in it then shut it up. I didnt think it was going to be a big deal until here recently. I stayed there this weekend and when I got home I realized all my stuff reeked.

I'd be PISSED!  fabreeze maybe?

[Mike]

I would try fabreeze as Mark suggested it works pretty good for getting rid of odors. Try that and leaving the windows open for a bit and let it air out. Fresh air helps alot to.


Good morning everybody...

There's this stuff that I use on the carpet that's a powder you sprinkle on and let it sit for a few mintues and then vacuum it up.  That always made things smell better.  The other option is to have the company pay for the place to be cleaned professionally.  They shouldn't be smoking in your place anyway.

Morning Mike!  Feeling better?

[Mike]

I'm begining to come out of it. A little better at work this morning?

[timot_one]

I'm assuming that 10 people didn't bang out today, so it's not ridiculous this morning.  The ride in sucked though.  They have a bunch of streets blocked off because of flooding.

[Mike]

I'm fortunate to live way above sea level. My town isn't that bad.

In Cali for work.  Jet lag sux.  Thankfully will get to sleep in my own bed tonite.
