- @tboland Duh, it’s on the internet, so it’s true… At least until Mythbusters debunks it. #
- @wendyneu We know at least one person who might still have a job if they had used this. 🙂 #
- @mdisher No, I take that back, he would still have lost his job eventually, but this may have helped him keep it longer 🙂 #
- DHL is horrible… I used to like them, they used to be decent, but now they are just plain horrible. #

Twitter: Let’s save some bandwidth.
One of the unique things about twitter is that you only get 140 characters to do so. Even with that limitation, there is still much redundant twittering.
I know there are already some standard internet shortcuts; LOL, ROFLMA, OMG, WTH, etc.
I think there’s room for a whole new suite of Twitter shortcuts that could save time and bandwidth. I’d like to suggest a few that will cover about 80% of the tweets out there:
| Shortcut | Meaning | Usage |
| IJA | I Just Ate | IJA McDonalds or IJA Wendy’s and it was good. |
| IJ1 or IJ2 | I Just went number 1, or I Just went number 2 |
IJ1 and it burned is that normal? |
| IAM | In A Meeting | IAM and it’s boring. |
| GTM | Going To Meeting | GTM, again. |
| GTE | Going To Eat | GTE McDonalds |
| JWU | Just Woke Up. | JWO, what time is it? |
| GTB | Going To Bed | GTB it’s late. |
| AUPC | Another Unsolicited Phone Call | AUPC from Amway. |
| CTL | Click This Link | CTL www.somelink.com |
| SFATL | Something Funny at this Link | SFATL www.somelink.com |
| SSATL | Something Stupid at this Link | SSATL www.somelink.com |
| AIWF | And It Was Fun/Funny | IJA McDonalds AIWF |
| OS | Obama Sucks | OS! |
| MS | McCain Sucks | MS but not as much as OS |
| TMU | The market is up | TMU -400 |
| TMD | The market is down | TMD 400 |
| SIAIS | Saw it and it sucked | <insert movie, or something visual> SIAIS |
| SIAIR | Saw it and it rocked | <insert movie, or something visual> SIAIR |
| GI | Google it | @someperson who asked a stupid question GI |
| IWTL | I was too lazy | I would have Googled it but IWTL |
This is just a start but if we all try real hard, I’m sure we can save some serious internet bandwidth by implementing these.
I’m sure there is probably a list somewhere already. Maybe even

something official somewhere but I didn’t Google it. IWTL
Cafe Steamers: General TSO Spicy Chicken
Cafe Steamers so far are my favorite heat and eat meal. The General TSO chicken is right up there with the rest.
You don’t get a lot of chicken, but the portion size is similar to the rest. It’s not immediately spicy but does have a bit of a kick after the fact.
If you like General TSO Chicken then you’ll probably like this. It cooks fast too, 4 minutes as opposed to 5-6 for most other meals.
Would definitely eat again.

| Category | Rating (1-10) with 10 being the best. |
Notes |
| Portion Size | 7 | Overall a decent portion size, though not a lot of chicken, this serving had 4 whole pieces. |
| Portability | 8 | Fits easily in a small soft sided thermal lunch box. You still have room for snacks and what-not. |
| Cookability | 10 | The time indicated on the box is spot on, in the different microwaves I’ve used. Very Consistent |
| Preparation | 9 | Drop dead simple to cook, open the box, put it in the Microwave. No poking, or slicing. When done peel of the top, dump the food into the sauce and eat. Comes with it’s own bowl* |
| Food Quality *Taste* |
9 | Actually better than expected. |
| Over ALL Score | 43 | out of a possible 50 isn’t too bad. |

- The Dell’s have shipped… Amazing… #
- I gave Jason 14.5 points and Bengals couldn’t even lose right. They didn’t quit tho, Ill give them that. #
- Mondays blow, they just do. The ride in this morning was nice though. #
- Oh, and that onside kick the Bengals pulled of Sunday was brilliant, and will serve as the highlight of their season. #
- So when I see the campaign signs for Obama:Biden why is Osama bin Laden the first thing to come to mind? #
- @glammi The other possible explanation; it was simply a mistake, a bad kick, and wasn’t planned at all. It is the Bengals after all. #
- @tboland The lines on two different sites were 16 and 17 points. (ouch) Of course they beat the spread which is why I have to buy a burrito #
- Waiting at Chipotle to pay off the bad Bangals Burrito Bet. 🙁 #
- The Cleaner: it like hardcore touched by an angel, only without the angels, and everyone who needs touched is an adict. #
- @nixguy Perhaps we needed a BIGGER bail out? 🙂 #
- @nixguy Dollar-Cost Averaging… 🙂 #
