Unfortunately for us, our current landlords have a huge banner over our front picture windows advertising the house for sale. On a quiet street. In a lower income neighborhood. Yea, that banner’s been up a long time and I’d be willing to bet nobody who has come to look at the house has done so because of the banner. So we just turn stuff off and play Angry Birds on our laptop.

I unplugged my computer but forgot to unplug my ADSL modem during a thunder storm. The next day I had to go and buy a new modem.
