Useless Facts/Chit Chat Thread

I heard something refreshing yesterday on the way home from my Easter weekend camping trip.

I was listening to Old Time Radio on XM and heard lot's of Easter themed episodes of various programs (Great Gildersleeve, Fibber McGee & Molly, Life of Riley, etc.). They were actually talking about the story of Jesus.

After about the third program, I realized that except on Christian stations, mainstream radio or television could never get away with that today. It made for a pleasant drive home on a beautiful Easter day

How cool is that!?

I'll have to see if DH's Sirius radio has that station.

I've been tempted to switch to XM, but heard they may eventually merge

I know that they played The Ten Commandments on ABC on Saturday night, I forgot how long that movie is...lol.

Sirius and XM are merging, when, no one knows. I like XM better and DH likes Sirius. I would just hold off since they are going to be one eventually. JMHO.

I'm mad. The agent for my commericial insurance just called me. She said I cant have a seperate charge for the insurance and the verbage "binder" on my website for rentals. She advised me to include the fee in the price per night. This is hard because not everyone rents for a full week at a time. I dont want to raise my rates! I am trying to make it affordable for everyone to be able visit the FT. Sorry if Im rambling,,,this is the first "bump" since this whole adventure began.

Darn lawyers, they suck. Make it impossible to do business without paying them to make it OK.

It looks like spring outside and the girls wore sun dresses yesterday....but today we have snow flurries! When I first looked out my home office window, I thought it was the wind blowing blooms off of the cherry trees! Here's an Easter Egg Hunt pic from yesterday...note, green grass and blooming cherry trees. CRAZY weather!

Remember that just because they merge does not mean instant gratification.
Lisa and I have nextel, Nextel merged with sprint which has a larger sevice area. Nextel then came out with a " special " phone that allows you to use sprint towers if you get out of nextel range.I'm not a cell phone guru and know very little about the telecommunications industry but, if little Johnny down the street with his new computer can Hack his Iphone to work with some other carrier and then "the man " can render his phone useless by an update that happens automatically, you would think we could get the benefit without having to buy yet again, another phone. Man, that semed like a long way to go just to say when they merge you will probably have to buy a "special" reciever that is capable of recieving the dual channels. I'm fairly certain that if this is the case, It won't be free, and it won't be cheap in the beginning .But then again, maybe they will appreciate your years of loyal listening and send you one.
Apparently I'm in a mood today, not a bad one, just a lets see how someone's going to stick it to us mood. I'm sure I will be better by tommorrow when I start my 15hr workdays . Man I can't wait for July 4.

That's cute, I miss Easter egg hunts ( hiding and hunting ).No, I don't normally hide and hunt so the kids think I am the easter egg king ( did I say normally )

The Justice Department has approved a merger between Sirius Satellite Radio and rival XM Satellite Radio.

 

[Colson39]

You beat me to it, I was just about say the deal had been approved. I was too busy trying to catch up from the last few hours of Camping Forum madness...lol

 

[ILoveDisney&Cruising]

How freaky is that, that we just happened to be chatting about it this morning and this afternoon, they approve it? Ya think someone at the Justice Dept. reads the DIS?

 

[bigdisneydaddy]

I wanna know what that green stuff was that those kids were walking on ?

 

[Colson39]

Down here in the south we call it our lawn, but you guys up north might call it your summer carpet

 

[Us3]

Haha...thats right, beautiful green grass! That must have been you cursing me earlier when those freaky snow flakes started to fall!!
