My little study corner

Just thought I'd share a picture of my domain for the last week or two - It's just so comfy!! I hate to admit it, but sometimes I like studying so I can just stay here...

Google Voice

.
"Google Voice". No, the Google logo can't talk to you - but the new program will allow you to create your own "Google phone number". Friends and family can dial your number and reach you at whichever device you choose - home, cel, or work.

It might be useful for that person who talks for a lifetime on the phone - just set them to go right to your voice mail..! You choose who calls you where - AND you can check your voicemail online too.

The only trick - right now you have to be invited to use it. It'll be available to all users ... soon!

Piano stairs - seriously debating putting these on my stairs, I think this could be a new fitness break-through!!

This is probably one of the most hilarious voice mails I have ever heard. Take a listen ... this guy is just too much!
You gotta love it when guys take initiative... but I think this might be pushing a few too many buttons. Desperate much??

Word of the Day

SPONDULICKS (n.)

At first glance one might think this might be a super-duper scoop of indescribably delicious ice-cream. On second thought, it might be what a "sponger" does who drops in out-of-the-blue, (usually around suppertime), for a free meal.

The latter might be closer to the truth...as spondulicks is an American slang term for money or cash (which the sponger never seems to have enough of in his pocket to pay for his drink, his meal, or your's for that matter.

Ever since I was young, my grandpa used to say to us "Eat your spindolicks!"
I was never quite sure what that meant... so I just ate the remains on my plate. Recently - I found the a this definition of a word with similar spelling. Not sure if he was just confused - or if this is a completely different word. I'm not sure why he would tell me to eat my money, so i'm leaning towards the second option...

So the next time you need some money and want to impress, just ask.. "Can you lend me some spondulicks?" At the least, you might be able to sway their attention from the real issue..
