myspace deleted

I'm not sure why, as myspace doesn't often answer questions from one of its millions, but my "freelief" myspace was deleted yesterday, along with all of my blog entries there, and my 280 loyal friends I've never met.

I was able to reconstruct the bulk of it by finding Google's cache of my page and copying the CSS code from it.

It's not that big of a deal, I don't see a ton of CafePress hits coming from myspace ... I'm still doing better with Google and the marketplace.


If you were one of my 280 friends, or a brand new one, add me!

this gave me chills

Got our taxes done today. It was a little weird to file as "married" instead of "single" again. "Does your husband mind if your name is first on this? I've had some people come back and change it because the husband got mad." No, he won't mind ... my God, why would I get married a second time if this one would make a fuss over whose name was on top?

But I did get to thinking about the past a little.

Ten years ago, our combined household AGI was less than one-third of what our 2006 AGI was.

Ten years ago, my ex and I struggled to scrape together a monthly land contract payment that was just a little more than what today's weekly mortgage payment is.

Life has sure changed in the past 10 years.

If you get the chance to go to college, make the most of it. Even if it is later in life. Making more than twice what I used to make—for doing the same work—is pretty cool.

The only thing worse than a smoker's breath right after a cigarette, is when you add mint to that concoction ... brushing your teeth doesn't help ... now, maybe a lung rinse might ...

Smoking may be one of the most disgusting habits that humans voluntarily partake in. That's legal in public, anyway.
