TV Idiots

Linking to "Your Beard is Good" as he prompted this rant... Thanks Valley Girl for the read!

Wife and I were watching Biggest Loser last night. The challenge is a triathlon. 24K. 20K bike, 3K run and 1K swim. They phase down the contestants 6 fastest to bike move on... 3 fastest to run move on to swim then the winner is found. So here's where the idiots stepped in...

After you finished each leg, you had to wait till all the others finished and then everyone started the next leg together... One girl was a skilled swimmer. She hung in BARELY through the 1st 2 legs and KILLED the others on the swim even though they had an easy 5 + MINUTES on her if they had just kept going from the start LIKE ANY REAL triathlon would be!!!

Kae or Bill should have one. TV Producers are IDIOTS sometimes!!! Go to Beard to hear about similar stupid-ness on Beauty and the Geek.

Dishwasher Diaries...

So today the part for the dishwasher comes in and I was excited beyond belief... I jump on the phone to the service company so they can come install it and they said tomorrow at the earliest. Well, a bit frustrated I say fine (I mean it's already like 2:00 when I call them). Then, I go down to pull the part out of the box to make sure it's the right one and it is... BUT the wiring inside is broken and they have to send the whole thing over again. I tried figuring a way to use the existing wiring, but no good... it's all built into the plastic and won't work. SO... It will now be Friday when the part gets here as I talked them into overnighting another one... Now I have to call the service company back to get them here Friday for sure... I guess I'm stuck doing at least one more load by hand :-(

Dishes Done... by hand :(

So I finally broke down and did the mound of dishes by hand as the warranty people couldn't fix the damn thing yesterday... It's been 6 days now since it crapped-out and we still haven't heard if the part can be picked up or if it will take time to order it. I know I'm just not "skilled" at washing by hand, but it took FOREVER... Anyways, here's hoping that the part is in-stock and can be installed today!!! Wish us luck! Till then... Our dishwasher is an extremely glorified drying rack...

Google Ads...

Well, It looks like we all need to be careful of the AI in Google Ads...

I glance at my blog this morning to find out that because I used the word "A-ffai-r" in my title to describe an occasion or event, Google thought I was speaking of ad-ultry!!! D*mn that's pretty hilarious if you ask me! I was cracking up at the fact that a Wife Sp-y ad came up on my page!!! Need a PI to dig up some dirt on your better half??? So anyway, as you see in this post, I will now have to hide any "questionable" words so when they are looked at by Google Ads, I don't get questionable crap coming up on my page.

So for all of you using Google Ads... be aware of your word usage because computers won't take anything in context and you just might find yourself advertising adul-t dia-pers if you simply say someone "depend-s" on you!!!
