Apple recalls 1.8 million laptop batteries

The Apple recall involves 1.8

sold between October 2003 and August 2006, according to a U.S. Consumer

All she’s missing is a can of High Life.
Shake and bake!

I think I’ll saddle up my frog and get out of here

Thanks to Airtran’s fabulous two-day sale with practically no date restrictions, I’ve got myself some super cheap round-trip tickets to both Orlando to see the family as well as Palm Beach to see my dear friend Sus for some beaching, sunning, and drinking. 
So excited!
