The US government has relaxed travel to Cuba, leaving it pretty much the way it was before Double-Dumb took office. Lots of sandy beaches where your dollar goes real far, 90 miles off the coast of Florida but only available to travel groups with church affiliations…
Announcing here the formation of the Consecrated Coupon Clippers and Party Organizers, also known as C³PO.

Apparently Amazon was selling a DIY gastric bypass by Medline, Inc. for $246 but I missed it. Not certain whether it was a Gold Box deal or not, but I obviously dropped the ball, folks, and I apologize. Read the article here.
Well, obviously it was a mistake – everyone knows this stuff belongs on eBay!
see how useful this picture can be?

An Ohio man faces three counts each of rape and criminal deviate conduct after he allegedly had sex with the corpse of a southern Indiana woman.
Fifty-five-year-old Richard Sanden of Geneva, Ohio, also was charged Thursday with abuse of a corpse and a misdemeanor count of marijuana possession.
Sanden has told authorities he didn’t realize 48-year-old Rebecca Whitehead of Washington was dead when he had sex with her corpse Jan. 8 in Washington, about 50 miles northeast of Evansville. The Washington Times-Herald reports investigators have reviewed a videotape of the alleged acts.
How Whitehead died hasn’t been determined yet. The newspaper says the Daviess County coroner was still awaiting toxicology results.
Sanden is being held on $500,000 bond in the Daviess County Jail in Washington.

In Las Vegas, they just crowned a 17 year old Nebraska girl as the 2011 Miss America beauty pageant – – – oh, wait, that’s not right. “It’s the world’s largest provider of scholarships for young women.” yeah, i’d say very young women. short Trib article here.
(Teresa) Scanlan won after strutting in a black bikini and a white evening gown, playing “White Water Chopped Sticks” on piano and telling the audience that when it comes to Wikileaks, security should come before public access to government information.
“You know when it came to that situation it was actually based on espionage, and when it comes to the security of our nation, we have to focus on security first and then people’s right to know, because it’s so important that everybody who’s in our borders is safe and so we can’t let things like that happen and they must be handled properly,” she said.

And yet another cautionary tale of why we don’t have people take nude photos of us unless we’re holding a movie script…

Just got an additional Christmas present from my husband: the newest Kindle! As a voracious reader, I’ve always sneered at people who used them. pooh! pooh! Then a librarian friend (not Rachel), mentioned that she had one and I was shocked at her poor taste! She explained that it was a great convenience to be able to “carry” 500 books in her bag. Put it like that, it didn’t sound too bad. The latest version holds 3,500 books. Right now I’m just going with the freebies; one book, Bet Me, by Jennifer Crusie, is $7.99, but you can get 3rd party sellers of the hard copy for about four bucks! Well, I’m not Bill Gates and I’m not smokin’ crack…
but it sure is purty…
Final Update and I will remove the sticky at the end of the day. I left a comment on the corporate site regarding this code nonsense and also asked to have all information removed from their database. I received an email overnight stating they had removed all my information. Following after was this instruction:
COMPLAINT: This customer has submitted a complaint. Once you have spoken with the customer, please contact the Consumer Services Team with details of how this incident has been resolved. Please advise us by email at [email protected] or by fax 502-261-4031.
Thank you for your immediate attention to this matter.
Actually, this is the most interesting part of all: Papa John’s is committed enough to cover comments 24/7, and wants to make certain that the outsourced people follow through. Shame about the code, really, ’cause now I’m impressed…
Forget this company. By the time I got home yesterday, the pizzas were cold and slightly dried out – my fault, I know. My husband said that they were very good hot, though (and even reheated they were tasty), so I decided to order another couple today. Went to the website and signed in (remember, you have to register with them to use any codes). Order two pizzas and attempt to enter the promo code, but it would not take it, something about having used the code the maximum number of times allowed. WTF? Tried a few more times, same code comment, so called corporate and explained the problem. Woman asked if it was an exclusive code (yeah, to all people who go online), then said I wasn’t entering it properly; supposed to enter it at the beginning. Uh, no you’re not, but tried it her way for shits and giggles – end result was the same. Placed me on hold for a l o n g t i m e…….. came back and said her supervisor told her it was a one-time use code only, tied into your email. Now I realize that everybody has a number of email accounts, but then you have to remember what phone number you registered with what email, what address are you using, what name… that’s just bullshit, peeps.
Do they really expect us to enter all our personal identification to get a lousy discount on pizza? I am going to remove my info from their site and will never order from them again.
For 2 large pizzas (one topping) for $11.99, enter HOLIDAYS in the promo code field. You must register or have an account to get this deal and it’s only available for online orders. Nice thing, though, is that you can order this in advance from 1 hour up to 21 days.
I played around with this and was only able to get the deal by using the “Basic” form; of course, you can always watch the animation to build your own custom pizza (it’s kinda cool, actually) and then switch back for the actual order. So two pizzas for $12.86 (tax grrr) and I’ve just made dinner!
This promo is good up to Super Bowl XLV.

An Addison woman is accused of stealing weight loss products from a store in Elmhurst, according to police reports.
Kledi Bubuija, 33, of 912 Neva St., Addison was charged with retail theft Wednesday after police said she stole a package of Alli Weight Loss Aid from a Sears Essential Store, 265 S. Illinois Route 83, Elmhurst police said.
Police said she was stopped by a security officer and was accused of tucking the weight loss aid and a mascara in her purse. The items were valued at $80.
Well, obviously the woman grew frustrated after trying to buy the product online at Sears!
While slogging through email, I came across a site that, apparently, is devoted to free stuff. She’s currently offering a $30 Office Depot card giveaway to those commenting in various ways by Friday. If you’re interested it’s called FreeStuffPlox (well, even if you’re not interested it’s called FreeStuffPlox) and I’ve put a handy-dandy link right here. I also checked; she’s legit, so don’t worry.
