I saved on satelite

Phone and satelite TV people will negotiate as well. I was going to drop long distance from my land line because they were charging me $4 a month for the honor of allowing them to charge me to make long distance calls. They dropped the fee, gave me 30 minutes "free" long distance every month, and I get a rebate on the "free" LD I use. My phone bill is cheaper if I make a couple of LD calls (under the 30 min), because of the rebate. I know I get hosed on DirecTV, but they don't charge me per box in my house anymore. I pay about $3 a month for 3 connection boxes plus the $50 or so service fee. It was $8 PER box. $24 down to $3 was good.

I'll have some extra money starting in March because I get my black belt and will then "graduate" from tae kwon do. They want me to stay and go for a second degree (at $55 per month plus $65 per tournament plus $60 or so for grading every 3 months). I've decided to get my mountain bike tuned up instead. I'll have to purchase a receiver hitch for my car to tote the bike to the park, but I think I'm still saving more than I'd be spending.

So I made sushi and it was OK. My avacado was probably riper than it should be for sushi (it was mashed up). I had wasabi powder which I sprinkled on Bragg's for dipping. I think the wasabi paste would have been better. But I'll try it again. It was wierd using nori right out of the package - it feels brittle and crinkly. I wanted to soak it or something, but I didn't see any directions saying I should. I'll try to upload the picture here.

It just spins and won't do anything, so I give up. This blogger sucks. I can't post comments or upload pictures. Bill Gates butt kissers.
