Reply to Down and Out in America 9/13/04 -- entry 2 in Misc JoeUser Forums

Do you have anything on eBay that you can sell for some cash? I'd bid up on stuff for you. Just don't tell the eBay police. I think of you every day, and I feel guilty for hating my temp job so much (it ends Friday and they have

Reply to what is victorias' secret ? is it bulimia ? in Health & Medicine JoeUser Forums

While our pin-up girl size has shrunk, our real life sizes have gotten much bigger. I wonder why that is? Speaking for Americans, I say lack of self-control, disposable income spent on dining out, meals in a box, freezer meals, busyness without physical exertion (no more handwashing, dishwashing, scrubb

Why I Hate My Job. Part 1: Sick Co-workers in Blogging JoeUser Forums

This week at my office, we've gone through two bottles of Lysol and at least as much soap in the bathroom and wash station. Not because we're dirty (it's a very clean, paperwork office) but because this stupid co-worker (Ditz-boss), who is salaried and doesn't have to worry about taking time off, has come to work anyway and God knows why, probably to infect us all wit

I don't like my mouth. It seems proportionately small on my face. My lips aren't thin--they just don't go wide, a la Julia Roberts (well, maybe that's too wide). They're just sort of ... short, vis-a-vis my nose. Also my mouth tends to look frowny if I'm not smiling--no matter my mood--and people think I'm in a bad mood, so I get told to "Smile!" a lot. Pet peeve of mine, really. (As if you have any right to go up to someone and make them be in

Reply to Testicle Festival in Blogging JoeUser Forums

Hey, regarding the truck driver's appreciation, you won't find me to be one of those jerks who cuts in front of semis or tails them or does stupid things around them. I appreciate them a lot, 'cause where I come from it's grain trucks that get our crops out, and log trucks that get our logs out. Most of the kids I went to school with got their CDLs the day they turned 18 (if not before, under the farm licenses provision, I think). I've even been helped

Reply to Traffic Waves and How to Break Them! in Travel JoeUser Forums

That's an awesome site. I was enthralled. As I've driven those Seattle roads, I even have a good idea of what he's talking about. I have noticed the anti-traffic one works well, but I seem to experience more people who will pull out around me or in from the side than he experiences. I think we should start a reform movement--this could be required reading in driver's e

Why does truth heal? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I was just reading the NYTimes article about the people who jumped out of the towers on Sept. 11, 2001. Link At the end of the article, a the reporter states of a woman who lost her brother, "For her, detailed knowledge about what happened to her brother, even painful knowledge, would ultimately s

Reply to Hard facts on Islam and Terrorism in Current Events JoeUser Forums

This is sort of a side note, but those ERRI facts--are there more years than just 2001 and 2002? I'm thinking that maybe 2001 skews the data a bit, but I have to admit that prior to it, terrorist attacks didn't mean much to me so I don't know if America's lost lives from 9/11 are comparable to lives lost elsewhere. Thanks for the article. -A.

Reply to Putin Rips US Policy Toward Chechnya in International JoeUser Forums

I found this Slate article pretty helpful in understanding the relationship between the Chechens and Russians. Link Larry, you just said, "Russia has a long history of supporting Islamic militants." I think the issue is more that Russia has a history of supporting anyone as long as it furthers their interest--and this has mostly backfired when it comes to Chechnya. I agree that we should be unite

I think it was staged. Yeah, it's so easy to have two dogs going at it where and when you tell them to. Opportunist, maybe; probably not staged.

Sally I'd give you an insightful but I'm afraid I might've used up my quota of ratings for today.... LW: You're right: if you don't like a site, don't visit it. That includes SPM, which, by the by, and as you have pointed out, is not JU. Why are you dragging that fight over here? Fight it over there or drop it. Mugguz is not a bigot. And if you want a Muggaz appreciation thread, I think there was a good one going on your last article
