The Me Generation in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

I dunno..maybe Im just seeing the bad side of the spectrum, being in the job I have at the local high school. But, it really concerns me where these teens are headed. Everyday, I hear about drug use left and right. The kids in my room talk and brag about their drug use and what they have done in the past, what they like...etc. It gets to the point wher

The common denominator was parents and more parents: they are demanding, self-riteous, over-bearing, petty, snobbish, over-critical and unappreciative. Some were great but most were a pain in the ass! Yeah, I agree. Its sad really. Like you said, not all area like that, but many can be a pain if they

Pic of my wedding band in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Well...now that Marcie is no longer posting on this site...I need to fill you guys in once in a while on what is going on with the wedding. This past weekend, we looked at two jewelers for my ring. The first place had a decent selection, but nothing that really caught my eye. I guess, Im picky. I like gold, yellow gold..etc; but I didnt want

I always wanted to be a radio personality. I had my shot and did my time. I think there is no job better on earth than me and my mic in a dimly lit studio, spinning vinyl. (yes vinyl) My very first show was a 6-12 slot on Saturday nights. That show was even the source of my nic on here just john. Same h

Lots of interesting stuff. to see Scotland,Wales, and Ireland I went on a trip to Europe and when we hit the UK for a week, we went out to see Stonehenge. That was pretty neat. I like driving through the country side of the UK...seemed like taking a trip back in history or something. Would have

What have you always wanted to do, but havent....yet? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

This is a branch off of a thread I made about a month ago about extremely easy stuff that you cant do. I thought about that thread and then thought about stuff that maybe people wanted to do at one time in their life, but havent, at least not yet. For example...when I was younger, I wanted to be a radio DJ. I ended up getting a degree in broadcast

Reply to Copy protection wars, Starforce vs. GalCiv, warez, and more. in Gaming JoeUser Forums

I think piracy is a lot more common than you think. I used to copy games from my brother and college buddies all the time and play them on my computer. If I lost the serial (or got a burned game / OS / program on CD from someone else), Id simply get a keygen off the net and crack it. Its not that hard. When I was in college, one person had a game (Soldier of Fortune II), about 6 of us ended up copying it and playing it over a wireless netw

Reply to Moving beyond the JU melodrama in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Walk into any church, free for anyone to attend, then call one of the blue haired ladies in the front row a nasty name and see if an open public invitation limits the owner's ability to toss you out. For one, there isnt any name calling here going on at the moment. This argument didnt just occur out o

Reply to Moving beyond the JU melodrama in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Lol...I came home tonight from work and Marcie told me to check out JU. I told her I was too tired and she told me she was getting the boot, most of the boot. She told me what happened and my reply was? "no...seriously, why are you getting the boot? ............really?.....no way, that doesnt make any sense, you made a comment somewhere else and now you cant even do that?" Well...dont take this personally, but I think its a bunch of

I feel like an old car..a clunker in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Man this sucks. I mean...Flanders...this suck-diddly-ucks. Last Friday, in the afternoon...I started to feel a slower...I could tell I was getting a cold or something...wasnt sure exactly what it was. Marcie started to come down with the same thing. She ended up having a hard time sitting or laying down because her head hurt a lot when she tried to

Reply to What extremely easy thing....CANT you do? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Hmm, I thought I replied to this the other day....didnt show up....GRR. My "easy to do, but I can't seem to" thing is the alphabet. If someone asked me what comes after "v", I would have to start somewhere before "v" (I started at "s" just now), and go through "v" to get to "w". What is really strange, if I used "s" as t

What extremely easy thing....CANT you do? in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

We do easy stuff all the time....like breathing for example. Others take effort on our behalf and it almost always is something that is a non-thinking skill...coming from memorization and endless learning, practice and use. But...I betcha that some people have a hard time with one or two simple things that should be fairly simple to do. I guess its one of

Thus I find it rather sad and amusing that I see both "Why don't you leave us alone?" and "Why aren't our blogs more popular?" in the sentiments they have expressed here. I made it a point not to say anything that implied I wanted more views. I just pointed out that by putting the same people on the m

If you ran a company and threw a ton of money and effort into a site, wouldn't you use the main page as you see fit? If I ran a website, I would run that site the way I designed it. I certainly wouldn't start something that wasn't profitable...at least in the long run. <TABLE cellpadding=8 wi

A point system was created such that we could find out which articles that I and other Stardock people wrote were of the most interest. Right, I understand that. But at the same time, I think it is skewed in that...the more popular you are, the more your stuff is seen. The less popular you are (pointwise), the less your stuff is seen. I think one trick that people have done now is that they reply to their own article right away which....OK

Oh, please. It wasn't your blog or your opinions that got you confined, it was your personal attacks on me. I guess you still don't "get it". LW and I didn't get along when she first started. I even confined her in the past. Did she ever walk on egg shells around me? No, because she knew the line. She'd 100% disagree with
