Ellen and Oprah are getting all chummy on the cover of December "O Magazine" & on today's Oprah... Maybe Ellen will help Oprah come out...??

I found a GREAT SOLUTION to this problem... finally....

(1) Go to Best Buy and buy a MagicJack.
(2) Pay $10 extra for a "vanity number" when registering it, if you
want to. (It's well worth it!)
(3) Activate the call-forwarding feature and FORWARD your new
magicjack number to your Google Voice number.
(4) Unplug your magicjack and put it away in a drawer.
(5) Give out your new vanity magicjack number to everyone!

NOW, .....

(A) Everyone can call your number.... because calls are going to
your magicjack number.... then forwarding to your GV number....
(B) All calls still go into, and through, your Google Voice...
(C) Even if Google messes with your Google Account (i.e. their
anti-spam robots wrongly shut your account down!), you still control
YOUR main (advertised) number! You can redirect where calls go... on
magicjack.com with one click!

Optionally, buy a second magicjack to actually USE as your home
landline phone service (and have your GV ring on it as well)...

Magicjack service costs less than $1.60 per month and is EXCELLENT!

My research shows that THREE companies do NOT give you an error message if you send a text message to a land line.. AT&T, Verizon & T-Mobile

I just now passed Michael Moore at Columbus Circle. He didn't even recognize me or ask for my autograph. He didn't even stop walking! :-)

Werebear took me out for Sunday Bunch at the Old Town Cafe. The Bellingham Biscuits and Gravy Project continues!

Biscuits and Gravy at the Old Town Cafe
(Part of the Biscuits and Gravy in Bellingham project http://www.yelp.com/list/biscuits-and-gravy-in-bellingham-bellingham )
Mushroom and Tahini gravy? Not something one would normally expect to find on Biscuits and Gravy! The gravy is meatless, so the mushrooms take the place of the sausage. The consistency of the gravy is good, but without the salt and spices provided by the sausage, the gravy lacks much "kick," and has a more delicate, sweeter flavour imparted by the Tahini. The biscuits are homemade, though a little bit rubbery -- but in Old Town's defense, I was eating them at 2 in the afternoon, so the biscuits are probably fresher in the morning.
The B&G at Old Town are unfortunately not served in a full order (2 biscuits), but in a half order (1 biscuit) served with eggs and home fries or black beans. Because of this, the price is a little higher than at other restaurants ($6.75), but for that price, you're getting homemade with local and organic ingredients. And it's nice to know that if I ever want to eat vegetarian, I can still get my biscuits and gravy!

Tasty, Authentic Mexican food at a family-owned and run restaurant. Fast and friendly service! The salsa bar is amazing -- freshly made and spicy. Cheerful and colourful decor with lots of neon, and lively Mexican music playing. Clean and spacious. Definitely a good place to go when you are craving Mexican food.

Merch Bot's slogan is "We Sell Stupid Stuff" ... and they mean it!
Imagine Spencer's Gifts and Archie McPhee got together and had an illegitimate love child... and it was raised by an ad from the back page of a 1960s comic book on a diet of bacon, cheese and zombie flesh... That's Merch Bot. Bizarre novelties, gag gifts, and all of the Bacon merchandise you could ever want to buy! Where else in could you buy rubber chickens, pirate hoodies, Miracle Jesus Action Figures with glow-in-the-dark hands, zombie brain gelatin molds, and wind-up nuns? Seriously!

Three Trees Coffeehouse ***** out of *****
118 W Holly
Bellingham, WA 98225

Three Trees is a fantastic coffeehouse for getting together with a group of friends in a comfortable, low-key location. Not too noisy during the day, the chairs and couches are comfortable, and the staff is super friendly. A not-for-profit coffeehouse, the proceeds go to local charities. There's a Christian vibe to the place, but it's very low-key, you won't get proselytized to.

Deals Only **** out of *****

Is Hamburger Helper that is 3-months expired still good to eat?
Are squashed Snickers bars worth 6 for $1?
Are you on a really tight budget?
Can you lower your food presentation standards?

If you answered "Yes" to these questions, then you're going to love Deals Only, Bellingham's best dent-and-scratch grocery store. Expired foods, slightly (or sometimes severely!) damaged cans, unsold inventory of food items that you never heard of, it all ends up here at Deals Only. If you are a careful shopper, and use your judgement, you can find some incredible deals.

I shop here at least once a month, and stock up on things like boxed and canned goods, condiments, some spices, candy and snack food. Only rarely have I been disappointed by what I have purchased.

Be prepared to squeeze through tight and crowded aisles, stocked in a haphazard manner. Canadians LOVE this place, and the parking lot is usually full of BC license plates (Early in the morning is the time to shop here and avoid the crowds).

Lychee Buffet *** out of *****
819 Lakeway Drive
Bellingham, WA 98225
(360) 756-0830

Lychee Buffet is a fairly middle-of-the-road Asian Buffet. Not bad, but also not spectacular. The variety of food on the buffet is good, and the sushi is one of my favourite things to eat here. My only real complaint is that they don't offer crab rangoons on the buffet, but you can't have everything. As with all Asian buffets, the best time to come is when they are busy, so that the food is fresh and being refilled often.

My kid's school burnt down last night.

What do callers get when their call is blocked? Do they get a
recording of some sort?

I think Google should have blocked calls answered by a recording which
tells the caller,

"Your call has been blocked due to traffic pumping. Call or write to
the FCC to complain and ask the FCC to eliminate local access charges
to rural carriers."

I totally think the FCC should eliminate local access charges to rural carriers.

If people in rural areas need phone service.... then THEY should pay
higher subscription rates.... NOT the callers!
