Payback's a bitch uh? I entertain myself with the idea that I hated him into developing cancer. Unlikely I know. But I can always hope.

To: foreverserenity it's great to hear you've found something that seems to be alright to you! I agree with Tex about your descriptions. Thank you very much, on both counts. And yes, the social part of it can be a chore - as in any situation where you are thrown together with people you haven't

Today is day four of my new employment. The first two days were a kind of settling in period: find the restrooms (very well fitted out and immaculately clean), find the kitchen (more easily said than done, the place is a little labyrinth), meet the project manager (Sarah - a cheerful and very attractive young woman of twenty six or so - most of the project managers seem to be younger than thirty), meet co-workers in the pods around me, and get to first

The way I see it, you have two choices, Brandie. You can move heaven and earth to find someone, a single soul, that you can trust your children with for a short time so you can get out of the house on occasion (or get THEM out of the house) to enjoy some adult activities by yourself, or you can go on a killing spree. Your boys are old enough to let you know if the babysitter does anything 'funny,' you can monitor their activities via cell pho

I can almost picture how the building would look, but can't get over the idea of a workplace being quiet 'Quiet' doesn't really do it justice. It's virtually silent . The last place I worked, the girl in the cubicle to the right of me was conducting some sort of office semi-incest with the old pat

My New Job in Misc JoeUser Forums

After fourteen days of unemployment I'm working again. Whereas I recently worked for D now I work for T. T is a large civil engineering company here in Richmond - the office I work in downtown is less than twelve minutes away on a route that has little traffic. I liked the office as soon as I got into it on Wednesday, when I attended the interview. It occupi

Reply to Putting Your Pet to sleep...stay? or leave ? in Pets & Nature JoeUser Forums

I killed my dog, Bubby. Not that I shot him, or injected him, or did anything deliberate to end his life. I took him to the Vet's and I demanded that the veterinarian end his life. Why? Because, for the third time in his life, he had attacked Sabrina - on this occasion almost ripping the nipple from her breast. I understood why he did what he did. I even sympathised with his actions, because of my understanding. But I could not rest until his life was ended, much as I loved him

Reply to Imus in the morning no more??? in Current Events JoeUser Forums

So he called them a bunch of nappy headed hos. And? Do you think there would have been anything like this reaction if he'd referred to them as a buch of redneck whitetrash sluts? So maybe they aren't nappy headed hos (most of them). But if they're as traumatised and damaged by this incident as the mewling idiots at their school make out, the ones who turned this from a molehill of personal opinion into a mountain of national scandal, then wh

TO; KFC How many times does it say in the gospels...."and there was division because of him." Whereever he went there were followers...yes, but there were more that wanted him killed. it says this many times. Certainly the Jesus of the Gospels produced division, as well as harmony. Those who in their own way discover enlightenment, or convince themselves that that have become enlightened, generally separate themselves from those who have not. Je

Reply to addicted and cheating in Misc JoeUser Forums

It's the nature of gaming. I cheat when playing Doom3 or Quake4 - but only when i've had my ass kicked half a dozen times and I don't have the patience to kill my virtual foes honestly. Besides, sometimes it's just fun to powerup in godmode and trash everything with the Invincible Fists of Destruction or the Chainsaw of Vengeance, or even the Booty-kick of Ultimate Irritation. Cheat. It's good for you. And besides, who knows but you (and now a

To: KFC would you be willing to show me some examples where I've called preached this? It's a question of attitude. And the attitude that offends is that of someone who believes she knows something others don't and constantly congratulates herself because of it. You asked a question of my wife from a basis of already knowing the answer - or you wouldn't have asked the question in the form you did. In fact, if you weren't convinced you a

To: lulapilgrim Welcome to JU and to our sometimes ferocious debates. There will be occasions when you will need a very thick skin if you are to enjoy JU to the fullest. I was at one time a 'born'again' Christian and a Pentecostal zealot. For all my zeal and my conviction I never made a single convert. In part at least this was because I made the mistake of preaching about sinners and sin rather than the Gospels. I let Jesus h
