Tmobile is throttling the number of messages from YouMail
F--- you Tmobile:
 | Dear tommEE, We’re writing because you are a YouMail subscriber, on T-mobile, and with SMS alerts turned on in your account.
T-mobile is no longer letting YouMail’s SMS messages through promptly. To keep YouMail free, we send our text alerts by e-mail to T-mobile’s E-Mail to SMS gateway, and they are severely throttling the number of messages from YouMail through that gateway - causing it to take several days for alerts to go out.
At this point, there are several options, both free and paid. - You can call and complain to T-mobile - letting them know that YouMail’s text alerts are important and asking them to stop blocking them. This may or may not work - but it’s just one phone call to try.
- You can turn off the text message alerts online or in the settings/preferences if you are using a YouMail handset app. You can then
- Replace them with e-mail alerts or,
- Retrieve your voicemail using one of the completely free YouMail handset apps for BlackBerry, Android, or iPhone
- You can upgrade to YouMail Pro or any paid YouMail transcription plan. These paid plans send the text messages through an SMS shortcode, which gives fast delivery, but which has a significant cost to us for T-mobile users, so we are unable to include it in the free service.
If have an extra minute, submitting a response on our YouMail Forums will also help us and other users keep track of the issue.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience.

Saw this on my google reader today: Scratch the Salvation Army off your charity lists, everyone
Shared by Candice | | | | | They were never ON my list, and I don't donate to/shop at their stores. | | | | |

I used to always give my spare change to the Salvation Army at this time of year — there they were, ringing their bell outside the grocery store, so sure, I'd give a little. That changed when I learned about their anti-gay policies, though…and now there's another reason to spurn the Salvation Army. The Salvation Army says it refuses to distribute Harry Potter and Twilight toys collected for needy children because they're incompatible with the charity's Christian beliefs. The policy has alarmed a Calgarian who volunteered to sift through a southeast warehouse full of unused, donated items and was alarmed when he was told by Salvation Army officials that the two kinds of toys are "disposed of" and not given to other charities. "I asked if these toys went to another charitable organizations but was told no, that by passing these toys on to another agency for distribution would be supporting these toys," said the man, who wouldn't give his name due to his occupation.
So donors may have handed over popular toys for distribution, not knowing that the destination was going to be the landfill. And it's not because the Salvation Army is concerned about the quality or educational value of the toys… "I was told to withhold a six-inch Harry Potter figure, but when I picked up a plastic M-16, I was told, 'That's for the 10-year-olds,'" he said.
I feel so dumb for having ever given that organization anything. I should have been clued in by the frickin' namethat it was run by a gang of puffed-up sanctimonious looneys.

tommEE's hulu Update
So I was just looking at my hulu queue and noticed something....
Out of all the shows I have queued I can't watch a 30 Rock and Arrested Development. Both which will hit or have hit Netflix. I can watch both streaming and without commercials for $8 a month. Who the heck is running Hulu and how will they ever survive without people watching their commercials.
