It's been a while
I'm rusty
Remembering the order that I say things in
I don't use the Secret, no
You are a closet Unitarian Mr. B
No I am not
Are you a Secretologist?
She says random stuff
I'm just speaking my mind
That is what she things
Trying to get my goat
Takes one to know one
You are messing with wrong chick
She told me that she someone from my church
The woman told me she was a Humanist
Does that mean you guys are Scientologists?
You're giving away our secrets
Now you know before I say anything about Scientologists
We have a listener that meets all of Betsy's anti-requirements
We love him though
I wasn't messing with engineers, I know them
I admire the way that they think
She rolls over, I need to tell you something
She's going to tell you she tested positive for something
"My name . . ."
Your name?
"Yeah"
Yes
"Noel"
Yeah, I got it
"It means Maiden Warriors"
My engineer roommate began stirring in his loft
I taught him everything he needed to know about women
I had the scariest roommate in the entire world
I don't think you have told it, Betsy
**Note: this is one of the best stories Betsy has told on the show**
**Listen in at the 8:00 minute mark**
The alcoholic woman at the water park
She reminded me of your mom, Kris
Listers, you tell me
The text message I got was a hook-up message
No, it wasn't
I will leave it up to the listeners
Have you shared it with your friends
Yeah
What did they say?
Well . . .

The Resale Queen Podcast is now here! Every Saturday by 9 a.m. CST

Josh Hallett is a funny man, the real Kris Smith

Wed, 15 Aug 2007 21:57:21 -0500

Thanks to Josh for putting this post together, "Will the Real Kris Smith Please Step Forward".

It kind of became the joke of our Saturday night out in Seattle and is even more funny to see the transformation side by side.

All in the span of 30 minutes the guys told me to go get coat because it would cool down and my t-shirt wouldn't cut it. When I went back to my room all I had was the sport coat and it didn't look too good with the ringer t underneath it. Hence, the "serious business-man-out-on-the-town-Kris" in the trusty black t-shirt.

The pic on the left was taken by Dave Winer and the one on the right by Josh.

Quickcam10.exe will break your Thunderbird 2 install or upgrade

Thu, 19 Apr 2007 08:11:15 -0500

Thought I would be cool and upgrade to Thunderbird 2 this morning from verion 1.5. Thunderbird is my trusty email program that keeps me connected to the outside world . . . my window to the world from the Smith manpit.

As a user for the last three years I know better:

than to have thunderbird or firefox open during upgrade
not back up the address book
not backup my email

Did my duty, began the install and kaput, "Error . . . r\n\r\nmozMapi32.dll . . .". Shit! But not a big surprise given my Thunderbird upgrade experiences.

Did my searches for the dll and ended up in a couple of places that didn't help but this one did.

Solution:

stop Quickcam10.exe (yeah, bizarre)
run install again
rejoice that the email gods have smiled upon you

Betsy and her husband Kris November 20, 2006

It's a comments show thanks to Nick T.
Is Nick T. real?
Kris doesn't think so
Not gonna break down that wall
Betsy is gonna read the email
Turns out she reads it in a Tiny Tim voice
"Nick . . . our kids are in bed. It's my time to be an adult"
"What is compelling about our show to a 10 year old"
Nick is Kris from the future
The allure of 30 year olds hanging out on the cul de sac
Did Nick's parents put him up to it?
Betsy says she swears a lot for an adult
Betsy, "My life revolves around sippy cups and wiping people."
If it is real I am all for it
I new I was never going to get a job in the FBI
What would I do if the kids were awake
Elliot knows the Goodwill employees by name and length of employment
Do you think we should stop swearing?
No
Kris lays down the documentation of what we documented when we started the podcast
Betsy wants to stop selling junk and sell cars
She could take smoking up again and drink on the job
In 2006 with the Pomade in the hair . . . creepy
Her male co-workers would be in for it
The man really make all the big decisions
Man soap and deodorant
Too much hygienic responsibility for one man to take
High fa luting tooth brushes for the bear
It's too easy not gonna turn that one around on you
Being repossessed with your car
Ben's "Barf" comment
Barf means snow

When you gave that presentation in 5th grade did you show photo
Let me tell you about my dad's Nova
It was a grass killer, worm farm starter and plant holder
The old school steering wheel
The back seat was plywood with foam on top covered in denim
Did you wear a seat belt or bungee cord?
I was free range
Stuck my leg in the door and got leg closed in door
And Kris puked immediately
It hurt like the "dickens" . . . just for Nick T.
Mustache of grass 10 inches high
What happened to the Nova?
It eventually was removed upon municipal ordinance
It was the beginning of my worm farm days
Running the hose under the car at dusk to come and collect night -crawlers
The microphone comment and email . . . this is special
Congratulations to Dave and to Dave and Melissa
I'm sure he became more attractive after he opened the envelope
Kris would be a malpractice lawyer for patients suing cosmetic surgeons
Words of advice from Kris, go after Dr. 90210
Betsy can relate
"We need a hot cameraman," Betsy
PodCampWest talk on Wednesday

Betsy and her husband Kris May 01, 2006

Evidently it's May Day
What the hell is May Day?
It's the only thing Unitarians worship
Specualtion like the Wiccans
What is the common glue that holds you people together?
It's the "c" word
Someone shows up with an engineering textbook
Somehow it works like an onion stew
Betsy doesn't get the drinking blood and bread
No bake sale
Grandma's great George Foreman grill
Giving your peeps a bad rep
The only vegan cassarole at a church
Selling a rusty axe (yes it deserves the 'e') on eBay
The henna experience from scratch
We're going on vacation to Denver in a few months
Dutailier Glider goes for $240! Betsy's investment $60
The whole Chicago "My frient"
It's a movement I'm starting, my frient, it will sweep the nation
The routine requests by cats who should be selling knives door to door
Making nice with the secretary
I offered you a brownie and you told me no
Giving birth with Betsy in the room
Cacious Gray the oldest horse at Arlington Raceway
