Screw the Super Bowl in Sports & Leisure JoeUser Forums

It's that annual time when I watch the rest of the country go slightly loopy for something I couldn't care less about. Welcome to Super Bowl Sunday in America. I feel like a Sikh on Christmas. ("Super Bowl" is a registered TradeMark of the NFL -- Niggardly Freaking Losers. It is used within this blog without permission. Sue me, you greedy, capitalis

People Who Ask For Invites But Don't Sign Up in Internet JoeUser Forums

[a repost from one of my other blogs.] What is up with people who ask for invites but don't sign up? What is up with people who say, "Yes, sir, give me one! I want to use it!" then blow it off as if it's nothing? As I mentioned before, I'm promoting a new, by "invitation only," ad exchange service called <A href="

Reply to A Little Information For the Democrats in Politics JoeUser Forums

Years of experience in customer service has taught me that people who complain are the ones you want to respond to, because if someone complains, they're interested in continuing to do business with you, but have a legitimate beef they want tended to. Very true. I think I first learned that from Tom Pe

Things That Make You Feel Old in Life Journals JoeUser Forums

Some things just make you feel old. Some things just walk up, slap you in the face, scream, "You thought you were still young?!" and start having a hearty laugh at your expense. From my conversations with people, I get the impression that most people see themselves as a certain fixed age in the past. "I still feel 21," someone will say. Their current chro

I live in the desert, so winters are usually pretty tame. Usually February would be our coldest month with low 60s to high 50s. Right now it's Sunny and 75 F. That's pretty warm for the middle of winter, even for us. For example one sunday it will be 0 degrees F, and the following sunday in the 50's. <B

Now, as I hit the "post comments" button, I'll find out if I'm one who has "acted in a puerile manner". If I remember correctly, when blacklisted you don't even see the form to type in to. It's like when someone has commenting disabled altogether, but it's just for you. (Yes, gentle reader, even

ParaTed2k and Dan, I'd like to thank you both for the jobs you do. You guys are every bit the American heros that Police Officers and Fire Fighters are, and I think that gets forgotten sometimes. Where would we be without you guys (and gals)? Again, my sincere gratitude. I'm always gl

Thank you, Dharma. Everything you say is true, and I know it, but I've never been much good at translating knowledge into action. well, why? I think it's mainly the way I raised. Not only did I never really have to do anything, whenever I would try to do anything someone would always

I am actually amazed that there was not a million blogs about Carson today. Ditto. It was really too long for a blog article, but I went for it anyway. When I'd finished, I found I'd not even said half of what I wanted to.

I finally got the last Quicktime available for my system installed and was able to watch the movie. Hehehehe. Cute. I love Don Knotts. I'm disappointed they didn't work in a "Nip it in the bud," though. It would have worked really well with gay marriage. The beer thing went on too long. Also, the family values part fell flat for me. They were straining. There is lot's of fun to be had, though. Bush's time in the Air Guard? Pr

So let me be clear: Anyone who makes purchasing decisions based on the political beliefs of an executive or founder of a company when the product or service is totally unrelated to those political beliefs is a moron.
