First Political Post
From time to time, I will stray from the founding principles of C&M to express a political point of view. Here is how I feel about what is going on in Washington DC this week.
Hippie Bins
The new recycling bins are here! Called yesterday and they were at the front step when I got home tonight. I ordered two because I believe that if we all don't recycle, Global Warming will destroy the planet in the next 3 months!

I came across this new article today from News4Jax, The Local Station:
Survey: IPhone Users Obsessed
Phones Used As Watches, Alarm Clocks, Ways To Stay Connected Online

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Katey Weeks, a senior at Stanton High School, admits she can't live without her iPhone. She takes it to school with her every day and goes to bed with it every night.
"I sleep with it next to me," Weeks said.
Weeks apparently isn't alone.
According to a new Stanford University survey, most iPhone users are obsessed with their phones. Users don't just use their phones for calls anymore. They use it as a watch, an alarm clock and a way to stay connected online.
While Weeks admits to taking hers to school, many users take their iPhones to work, too. The iPhone craze has even hit the Channel 4 newsroom, where some admit to being obsessed.
"I'm probably on it every 10 minutes Facebooking, texting," one Channel 4 employee said.
"I call my iPhone Princess Podkinson," another employee said.
Emmeline Hayes, an addiction specialist for Riverpoint Behavioral Health, said the addiction is the same as being addicted to computers or video games.
"They have a very positive response in the brain," Hayes said. "It becomes a pattern or a coping skill."
Most users would argue an iPhone addiction isn't unhealthy. Of those surveyed, 70 percent said it keeps them more organized and more productive.
I don't know about you, but I know a lot of iPhone users who are just a little too friendly with their iPhone. If you have an iPhone and have a nickname for it C&M would like to know.

BS Quote of the Day
"Andy, I am just gonna keep my hand of cards close to my chest and see how it plays out."
I love this quote of bullsh%t and wish I had the talent to come up with stuff like this on the fly and execute it so smoothly as it was delivered to me.

iPhone Balls
"Hey Honey, come here."
"OK."
"I need you to turn the page on the recipe."
"Where is it?"
"It is on the phone. I need you to take your finger and scroll down."
"What?"
"The phone, scroll the page down. I need to see what I need to do next."
"OK."
Recipes written down on paper don't exist anymore.
Cookbooks apparently aren't commonplace either.
Now, you just take your iPhone, go to Paula Dean's website, click a few links and you get a recipe. Didn't know that, but now I do. Pretty simple actually.
So what did we prepare? Sausage balls for the annual company breakfast tomorrow morning. Take a sausage roll, bag of cheese, couple cups of Bisquick and some salt/pepper. Knead. Knead some more. And Knead a lot more. Bake and you have iPhone Sausage Balls.
*For the record I ate 4 of them and credited 3 points to my Weight Watchers.
