Reply to Friday Five: To do or not to do in Blogging JoeUser Forums

1. Always do. I also take pleasure in taking the one some lazy sot leaves there while I'm watching, and walk it back, too. 2. About 95%, but I'm a speed shopper. I go in knowing exactly what I want with the intent of getting out fast, so I rarely have anything I don't want. 3. Not applicable to me. 4. If it's just general driving, I let them in. If it's that situation where there's a traffic tie up and people are just speeding

Reply to getting through it in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Just a brief funny regarding school year and names. I was a teacher once upon a midnight dreary...and I taught in Chesterfield County, South Carolina. One of the schools was a pretty small school out in farm land. So, I get the rosters for my classes, and I'm looking at the names. And I think "how weird...there's a Chinese kid out here in farm country, SC?" Then I look down the roster and am perplexed. "Another one?" </p

Ha. My only advice would be not to use Publisher :P The answer to your immediate problem, however, is the tag, I believe. If the photobucket slideshow is a shockwave flash thing (which I'm pretty sure it is) then the code would look something like: type = "application/x-shockwave-flash" width =<span class="a

Relax, Aidan. It's gonna be ok. Deep breaths. It was clever and humorous, too. If you can't see that objectively...oops. I think I just found the problem. Objectivity.

Soon the president will be elected Survivor style. Americans are so dramatic, in general, that it will be much easier for them to grok selecting the commander and chief by who is the last one to not get voted off the island.

Politics has one and only one purpose in Politics JoeUser Forums

My wife spoke to me yesterday over skype chat. She's in San Diego right now picking up two of our zoo (cats) that have been staying with her parents there. She's the one that gave me the news that McCain/McSame/McLame/ oh go on...you guys fill in the blanks....had picked a female for his VP. I pissed my pants laughing. Very clever. VERY funny. You see, I am no longer delusional about the government serving me. The gov

Mari told me this news today over a chat program...she's in San Diego at the moment. A better chess move in politics I haven't seen in a while. I had to laugh. It was a brilliant move indeed.

Reply to My Thoughts on the VP Choice in Politics Stardock Forums

How did a discussion about the VP for the office that is the highly influential in countless issues suddenly all about abortion? I know that in this country there are a LOT of people more interested in other things. Or is the President to be and his VP supposed to pander to special interest? (Yeah, I know they DO...which is a sin if there ever was one...but should they be?) Sorry if this was asked on pages 3-6. Lula's one issue voting rants on one

15? That explains a lot. If you were 40 I'd be worried. You've got a battle going inside you. On one side are hormones telling you to stick your penis in anything that will receive it. On the other you've got people telling you that having chemical reactions makes you a sinner. Relax for crying out loud. Millions of decent people just jerked off to porn while I wrote this. You're normal.

Not really, Fran. It's more of a "what goes around comes around" idea. There is likely no truth to it in any scientific sense. Can't test for it. Can't measure it. But it isn't a God replacement, nor is it intended to generate fear.

Reply to The Day I Lost All Respect For Kurt Vonnegut in Books JoeUser Forums

One night I randomly picked up Slaughterhouse-5 and started to read it to Mari while she was cooking. At about 2am we finished it. You may not know this, but in terms of pain and death count, the Fire bombing of Dresden was pretty wicked. Vonnegut was a prisoner there there and survived it. As far as I'm concerned, he had a license to be an asshole.

Warrior Women aren't supposed to be reading Cosmo! I'm afraid I'm going to have to report this to your Chieftan...err Chieftess...uh... The difference between men and women in this regard, is that a lot of guys probably wouldn't mind. Heck, half of em would probably whip it out on request. Sadly, they didn't even take into consideration the difference between "growers" and "show-ers." If women really want to figure out a man's performance size, the

Reply to Fighting the Addiction in Life Journals Stardock Forums

When I was a kid, I got ahold of this Cheech and Chong album called Big Bambu. One of the tracks had this line on it from this ex-junkie that was wandering the streets. "You know? Before...I was all messed up on drugs, but since I've found the lord....now I'm all messed up on the lord." So my advice is, (and I've seen a LOT of people do this), be careful not to substitute an addiction to God for an addiction to something else. Don't get me wrong.&n
