Random updates
- Along with a slight disc problem between Pixel’s thoracic and lumbar spine, x-rays have found a calcium deposit on his cervical spine (sound familiar?) that is causing the majority of his pain. Rest (no running, jumping or stairs), NSAIDs and a halter instead of collar were prescribed.
- The massive flea infestation in my bedroom left behind by the previous tenant (and her three cats) is successfully being treated by my landlord’s hired exterminator. (Thank you, Landlord!)
- Have purchased an excellent vacuum (Sears Kenmore Progressive Bagless Upright with Intelli-Clean system) to help combat the fleas. Seems to be working so far.
- DirecTV is scheduled for Sunday. Hopefully will have the NFL Sunday Ticket fully functional for next weekend’s games.
- Also am on the lookout for a nice used TV on SLO’s craigslist. Football will be no fun viewed on my 12″ screen from 1986.
- Will be in LA this week to finish emptying Mom’s house (escrow closes soon, yay!).
- Picked up a used washer and dryer from craigslist for $350. $100 for delivery and another $30 for hoses and things. (I installed it myself!) After drying 3 loads the dryer’s not heating up anymore. Service appointment scheduled for Friday. Am hoping it’s not more than $200 to fix or else I’ll feel like an idiot for not buying new.
- Car broke down AGAIN a week ago. Got it fixed (thank god I bought that extended warranty) but then the engine light came on again the next day. Am ready to take a sledgehammer to the damn thing. Will probably trade it in for Honda Fit instead. Once I get the engine light off.

Regarding the tv, if it isn’t less than $100, I’d buy a new one. I got a 27″ for my bedroom that was only $200 at Best Buy. And my 32″ Toshiba in the family room is routinely on sale for $300-$350. Since everyone is wanting flatscreens, you can get the old school ones for very little these days.
Regarding the car, get rid of that clunker!
I found a 27″ Samsung Flat-tube HDTV on Craigslist for $200. It’s an older model (ie, huge) but it’s in great shape - the plastic’s still on the button panels!
You left behind a washer and dryer.
