Breast Cancer Survivors, Wearing Pink,,,should see BURN THE FLOOR,,,before it leaves S.F.

One of the leads, a redhead, according to their website is a breast cancer survivor,,,and has such vitality and confidence !! Any woman dealing with or surviving breast cancer would be inspired by her start to the show, and performance throughout. Too bad the Komen 3 day won't be in SF until October,,, this show will be on "Dancing With The Stars" on 21 April at 9pm, but i highly recommend you see it in person.

Half priced tickets are usually available at Goldstar.com and at the tiny '1/2price tickets' office in Union Square, SF.

Best wishes to all you breast cancer fighters and survivors and relations !!

Epson printer collates,,,BACKWARDS/ sdrawkcab,,,DO NOT BUY Epson Inkjet Printers !!

Epson says we can only use their , "Epson", very expensive ink...

And now this,,, that we can not fix,,,what a hassle !! Avoid Epson.

"BURN THE FLOOR", the smokin' hot dance show near Union Square in SF,,,has extended it's stay again until 26 April !!

If you are coming to S.F. for the " SFIFF52" /San Francisco International Film Festival 52nd year,,,from 23 April to 7 May, then maybe you would like to plan ahead and book this great show ,,,and also Beach Blanket Babylon, the longest running live theatre comedy in the USA for over 30 years sold out at Club Fugazi . Half price tickets at Goldstar.com or the Union Square '1/2 price (tiny) ticket office' from noon to 6pm in person.

I highly recommend both, along with riding a cable car on the right rail, walking or bicycling across the 1.7mi Golden Gate Bridge, the most photographed bridge in the world and the most famous bridge in the world,,,and when in was built in the 'great depression' it was the longest 2 tower suspension bridge in the world !!

Cheers !!

The much touted Web's big weakness: it shuts down before midnight, everynight , for server servicing !!

Don't expect to do you taxes on Tueday night at about 11pm on Intuit's TurboTax, as they will not let you access the 'free efile' federal tax return software that late. They went to service their servers, and the taxpayers be damned. Same for TaxACT,,,you can go to work and try to do it on your lunch 1/2 hour,,,and your own Mac !! What a whimp, you World Wide Web.

President Obama wants to wait until 2011, 2 more years, to correct rich and corporate welfare mistakes of the past: that is some bad idea !!

The public will clamor for punishment to fit the crime for those who used deception and illegal fraud to get us into this mess, and not just a token few, but many banks and bankers should swing, as should many financial ratings companies and their employees, and not to let slide, some insurance executives too. We are fed up will the rich making a mess for all of us and not paying for their mistakes and intentional deceipts !! The little guy with a mortgage is being sacrificed for foreign banks and foreign insurance companies , as if we American workers could afford to pay everyone around the world back for the mistakes and greed of those at the top here in the US! Where is the Senate investigation into how this happened, who is at fault, and how do we prevent this from happening again ??

Why have these terrible adjustable rate mortagages/ARMs not been outlawed yet ? Why has the US Federal Govt not taken over all mortgages ? Why have the weak companies and weak banks not been chopped on the block of bankruptcy when that is what is being done to US individuals over and over , more and more ?! We taxpayers have lost Billions to A.I.G. and yet we do not own all of it, as a columnist pointed out, we are subsidizing the past CEO major shareholder who does not deserve it !! Is Congress still beholden to bankers more than voters ??

Mr. President, the financial pain is still very unequal here in the United States,,,just like the recent financial gains were very unequal !! Your financial experts tell us that many more of us will have to loose our jobs ,,,and probably our homes and apartments,,,in the next year or two. What are 'they' loosing ? Do you really think we voted for you to continue pardoning and pandering to the wreckless in power ?

Here is one to tickle PETA and the SPCA: Beware of buying a shelter kitten/cat !!

Growing up in the 50s , it was common practice, waaay back then, to go to someones house and see their litter of hand-raised, as is HANDLED OFTEN and LOVINGLY, kittens. We had a string of long lived, happy, normal, crap outside, kittens and cats who loved to curl up on our stomachs at naptime,,,and in our laps all the time.

But nowadays, all my family has succumbed to the sucker call of 'rescuing a cat/kitten' at a shelter . Such fools !!

First, most of these kittens and cats have not been properly handled and taught to be affectionate by the shelter staff, so that when you get them, they refuse to be picked up, and are mostly afraid of people !! They will not let you pick them up with two hands or even by their neck skin. Imagine how long that pissed-off cat is going to be your PET ?!

Second, they are not potty trained,,,and tend to crap all over YOUR HOUSE, YOUR BROTHERS HOUSE,,, AND YOUR PARENTS HOUSE,,,ALL OVER , EVERYWHERE IN THESE HOUSES !! Again, the animal shelters are not doing their job. And you suckers are going to be stuck with a miserable pet,,,for YEARS,,,and CRAP ON YOU BED,,,CRAP ON THE CARPET,,,CRAP ON THE NEW COUCH,,,

Caution if you think buying from a 'respected' cat breeder is the answer , as one sis bought 2 $500 pedigree persians , who also were afraid of people ,,,because they were NOT 'hand raised' as the famous Los Angeles breeder said. Bonus!, they also were not litterbox trained and CRAP ALL OVER THE CARPET. They run away from their owner in her house,,,and they run away from all friendly visitors.

Not just "Ameican Idol", but where is the website with all the singers stats, like octave vocal range, accuracy, timber/coloration ?

I am so curious,,,to learn ,,,as most professional muscians must know,,, what is the perfect pitch/not of all the contestants !!

What is their normal and pushed octave vocal range ? Accuracy ?

Come on, don't hide behind a label. Tell us !!

In these terrible economic times, we are so lucky to have President Obama and Mrs. Obama in the White House, and also here in California,,,

the signifigantly politically honorable Governor Arnold Schwartzenegger !! Do you have a state Governor who has his staff answer the phones from the public all day long ??

Think of how much worse EVERYTHING would be if we did not have a President of the education and wisdom and elocution of Mr. Obama, with full credit to his wife's good influence.

What is it about CALIFORNIA PLUMBERS, who "snake" out your house drain ONLY HALF WAY to the street sewer ?!

My folks in 'Sillycon Valley' have had a few plumbers come to the house, and this half-ass job common performance is not just limited to ELDER ABUSE. This last time, the supposedly licensed plumber said he 'only brought 100 feet' of snake, when he was told it was at least 150 feet to the street sewer main !!

good news,,,Campmor's new Spring 2009 small newsprint catalog HAS SOME FANTASTIC SUNGLASSES,,,

,,,go to page 192, and the Suncloud's ,if they are really original the real deals and not Asian knockoffs , are the best sunglasses for Spring skiing and true colors with the rose lenses,,,great cloud watching !! And only $19.97 versus the usual over $60-80 price when sold decades back stateside in stores. Phone 1-800-226-7667 for their polite staff.

Enjoy !!

Recommend "ZapZyt" with 10% benzoyl peroxide GEL for zits,,,over "Oxy 10"

,,,which has a caking, white lotion instead of clear gel for acne.
