See y’all on Monday

I know I’ve gone totally MIA but The Hotness is leaving on Wednesday for a whole week and I’m sopping up every spare moment I can with him (and working like a madwoman in between sopping sessions).

I’ll be back soon…in fact once he leaves I’ll prolly be right back here begging for y’alls company *chuckle*

P.S. I made a few small tweaks here and there on the site Hopefully for the better…this month is a revamp of AIS so keep on the lookout for new crap all over the place!

Dear My Glasses-

Hi there, I’m not sure where you are or why you left but whenever you finish with what you’re doing could you please report back to my face? I can’t see and pressing my nose up against the screen to see what I’m doing isn’t very comfortable. Oh and also, if you happen to see my mind would you please bring that back with you too?

Thanks,
Bug

Don’t forget about the free techie t-shirt dealio going on

So after a couple emails and a comment or two questioning the validity of the OptOutPrescreen.com website I talked about yesterday I went on a fact hunt to make sure each of you could feel safe about using the service. Long story short I found a ton of info that all points to it being 100% legit (so breath easy folks) and if you’d like to read about my findings just scroll to the end of yesterday’s post and click on the “more” link.

Next, if you are living in the U.S. and currently running a blog that has to do with any of the following:

-Technology
-Computers
-Internet Technology
-Programming
-Web Development
-Web Design
-Computer Languages

Please leave me a comment or email me (bug AT thelastcowgirls DOT com) ASAP because I have an awesome freebie for ya! My favorite online programming community that I belong to called Dream.In.Code has given me 15 of their brand new kick ass retro style t-shirts to pass onto all you geeky bloggers in return for a link in a post on your site!

The shirt will be shipped to you at no cost and all it takes is a single “a href” tag on your end…not a bad deal But hustle up and get in contact with me if you want one because I only have 15 of these suckers!!

The Sexy Graphic Mock Up

Ok that’s it for now, I’ve gotta get moving…hope y’all have a wonderful day

Our mail box is up the street from our house so usually we stop by it when driving back into our neighborhood from wherever our day’s adventures have taken us. I’ll have The Hotness pop the trunk of the car and I’ll do a fast sort of what is important mail and what is just junk.

The important stuff (bills, personal letters, business mail) comes inside the car and then on into the house for processing. The junk (credit card offers, refinance offers, life insurance offers) lives in the trunk of the car for about a week until I gather it all up and do the “weekly sort and shred”.

Each week I can say that out of a whole pile of “trunk mail” I only end up finding use of maybe one piece. The rest just gets trashed because let’s face it I don’t need another credit card and I don’t have the time nor the resources to re-fi a house I just bought less than a year ago. All the junk was a waste of time and a huge waste of paper. So I did what every other red-blooded internet access having American would do when they have a problem…I consulted with Google about it.

Turns out there’s a website where you can actually opt-out of all that junk mail shit either for 5 years or forever (you get to pick your poison) and I just wanted to pass the info along to y’all. Click here to go visit and get yerself opted-out if you’re sick of dealing with tons of crap. I got The Hotness and I signed up today and am looking forward to having a lot less junk in my trunk from now on

**Update 3/6/2007**
There were some worries from readers about the site being legit and thanks to AIS reader Steve and a little extra research on my end I can assure you that this service is 100% legit and backed by the Federal Trade Commission. Click on the “more” link below to read a little more history and information on why the website was created and who recommends using it as a security measure for your identity.
