great for making flash banners, photo slideshows, polls & quizzes without having to write code. makes my life easy and frees me up to work on other things for the business.
riddlefish Cool--what sort of business do you mean?
heylookitsmers we're a small family business with a website. i had to take over the maintenance and marketing for the site with minimal knowledge. i've got the basics down now, but with this site i can create new homepage banners, deals, and what not in no time. truly a life saver.

bought the gold family pack for xbox live. even though only two of us use it, we save $20 a year. two regular memberships for $59.99 each a year when the family pack with four memberships breaks down to $25 each a year? a bit ridiculous. we're just going to let our friends use them.

Keane San Francisco
some may know them as powerbook guy. new name, same awesome service. these guys were great. i lost my computer to champagne, but they saved my data and hard drive. plus, they gave me great information that i used to purchase my refurbished macbook pro replacement. they're incredibly patient with those of us who aren't up to speed on our geek speak and are painfully honest when all you want to hear is that it's all going to be alright. i admire them for that and thank them for answering ALL of my mostly ridiculous questions.

bought rez hd for the bf. he's completely addicted & we're both excited for the sequel kinect game coming out in june! it's like being on shrooms without the shrooms. a trip when you can't trip. definitely a great game for anyone who enjoys psychedelics.

Apple
had to replace my 15.4-inch macbook pro. after a solid 4 years, i finally did it in. champagne isn't so good for the logic board. but, the new one just arrived and i'm so excited. it's absolutely gorgeous. i went for a refurbished machine at the recommendation of apple employees and the powerbook guy, and glad i did. it's the 15.4-inch with the core i7 processor and anti-glare high res wide screen. the computer looks brand new. and, the money i saved is going towards apple care and other nerdy ways to protect my computer from myself. i highly recommend buying refurbished.

Goodwill
Bought an ugly xmas sweater vest and a snowflake turtleneck to go underneath for our Sear's Portrait Studio session. Nailed it. And now, that killer combo is going right back to goodwill for someone else's ugly sweater party needs.

amyuhrich Ha, I'm confused - if you hated the stuff, why would you wear it for the photoshoot?
heylookitsmers our bar family, known as "the elbow" because it's where we always sit, thought it'd be fun to take cheesy holiday photos at sears, turn them into xmas cards, and send them to the bar, friends, and family. " happy holidays. love, the elbow". we got some great pictures.
riddlefish NICE. I found one at Goodwill for a party! Sequined diamonds and tassels. It was pretty epic. What did yours look like?
heylookitsmers it was a gunmetal grey turtleneck with snowflakes all over underneath a red, button down sweater vest with puppies and presents. bought the two as separate pieces, but damn they looked good together. i might have a future in old lady fashion. sequins and tassels you say? now i'm jealous! i bet it was rad.
amyuhrich @heylookitsmers I see, joke photos :) Gotcha. Sounds like it went well.

productjoy shoot, we're all waiting for "that bag" to go on sale so we can finally snatch it =) kudos to you
girlfriday Usually I look at clothes, watch them go on sale, and watch my size not be there.
riddlefish NICE. That never happens for me! What bag is it? I want a picture! :D
House of Prime Rib
a classic institution that goes back to the days of San Francisco before vegans, vegetarians, and organic/free range/locally grown/cruelty free blew up big. i'm not against any of them, it's just that this restaurant caters to none of those. this place is ALWAYS good. every time i'm here, it's the english cut, mashed potatoes, and creamed corn. spinning salad and yorkshire pudding, of course. sprinkle in some of their classic cocktails and i'm set. dessert? who comes here for dessert?!
heylookitsmers no, i haven't. but, i'll be looking into it! i'm always looking for new places. any absolute must haves you could recommend on their menu?
productjoy Their menu is pretty much the same menu as HOPR. Apparently one of their chefs left and decided to go ahead and open up his own prime rib restaurant. Gosh, just talking about prime rib is making me wish that Christmas dinner was here already!!
heylookitsmers @productjoy you're right, all this talk makes me want it now! thanks for mentioning broadway prime. i love HOPR, but can't wait to try another. lawry's is the first place i fell in love with prime rib dinners. are you having HOPR for xmas dinner? so jealous.
productjoy @heylookitsmers- No problem darlin', happy eats!
bestfriend what's the english cut?
heylookitsmers this is from their site... "The English Cut : some feel that a thinner slice produces the better flavor." you get 3 tasty slices.

perfect for mascara testers. we cut off the brush so there's no contamination & customers can try the mascara without spreading pink eye.

riddlefish Lol. One of my friends just went to Vegas and got pink eye. He must have used someone else's mascara brush.
beverlynoelle @riddlefish Yes. That is probably exactly how it happened. What happens in Vegas...

lesayoh I think they have always charged for Job postings but it used to be like 15 bucks or something like that

Zero Zero
after reading good reviews, hearing about it from friends, and my mom pushing to go, i caved. a fancy pizza place? yes, that's essentially what it is. but they also have incredible entrées and tasty libations. will i go there again? yep. am i in a hurry to get back? not really, but it's a good one to keep in the back pocket.
impulsebuyer This sounds great. Is it a one-of-one or a chain?
heylookitsmers @impulsebuyer i believe it's a one-of-one @iamphilsharp San Francisco
