I make no bones about it, bluedev Oh, I know you don't Gid. I was being entirely sincere in what I said earlier. I have no problem with honest points-whores. It just bugs me when some swear they don't care about the points or rankings, but their actions speak differently. Points-whore away m
I wouldn't say Tool fans have a rep for being stupid (esp compared to other metal fans,) but they sure do have a reputation for being assholes I wouldn't say they are stupid either (and I hope I didn't in the original article). They can be passionate to the point of being slightly blind though. <
And then there are those of us who slap on the lipstick and the rouge and hit the red light district! It is that sort of honesty that I love Gid!
I appreciate the comment bro. It means a lot. I look forward to calling you "Braeden G. Jones, PhD". That should rock.
Anyone trashing the classic synth-rock tune from the 80's will be swiftly e-kicked in the teeth. Europe rocks (yes, rocks, not rocked-they are still alive and kicking), "The Final Countdown" is one of the greatest cheese-fests of all time, and anyone who disagrees can bite me. Now that I have made the rules of the game clear, let's start playing. What game? I don't know, but I feel like blogging about something this fine Friday evening. It is nearing midnight
I refuse to be a points whore. But the reason I paid attention was because (before I figured out how to have e-mails sent to me to tell me that I've been replied on) I used my score to see if I had received comments or not Oh, I don't doubt you have no desire to be a points whore. And I do the same wit
Sigh. . . The battle took another casualty today, the worst kind. 2 year old passenger, innocent as can be. . .
I KNOW that there is more, that dying is just a transition. I agree D. There is something beyond that we just don't know yet.
Sounds like a sad night in the ER. Well, they made it past the ER, but not out of the SICU. sounds like a good country song. Isn't that an oxymoron (good country song)? <img src="
While I didn't particularly care for the books either, I agree, the movie was pretty bad. The love story between Trillian and Arthur was lame, too many of the funny aspects of the books simply don't translate to the screen, the characters were entirely unlikable and uninteresting (I found Zaphod to be just irritating as could be). All in all, one I won't be seeing again.
They are doing well Trina. Growing up. The youngest is a year now and starting to stand and walk a little. The others just keep on growing.
MMMmmmm, owls. Tastes like chicken.
Car definately lost that one. They always do. What hurts the worst is when the innocent little ones in the car lose. Because they lose big time.
Another likely explanation is the following: You get 5 points for every reply to an article of yours, whether from someone else or from you (as long as they are registered users). However, if you reply to one of your own articles in the forums, you get fewer points. You still get the 5 if you reply to your own article there on your own page, but if it is from the forums, the point value is less (2 or 3 I think). I believe this was done (at least partially) i
Wonderful article Maso.
I like OpenOffice. I really do. I just can't use it without having to have Office installed as well (for compatibility/formatting)issues. And so I just stick with Office these days. One day I am hoping to be able to completely replace Office with OpenOffice.
The following is a public service announcement: The tree always wins. I have seen lots of tree/car collisions. The tree always wins. The cars often put up a good fight, valiantly struggling to the end. But in the end, the tree remains the victor. Even if it is broken in half. The real losers are those in the car. They NEVER win.
I can't imagine having a job where I would have to face death, let alone having to spend your day trying to fight it off. It is very cathartic to say the least. But I have truly come to understand that death can be an end to suffering. Seing that light has been an important realization for me. <TABLE cellpadding=8 width="95
Mike Hunt DIck Shaver Harry Butz Those are good. Took me a minute to get your screen name. Dick Gozinya. I chuckled when I read it. I don't know (or really care) who is behind the name, but I appreciated the chuckle for the day.
I'm at the third group, one that knows there's death, but chose not to be too concerned about it. If I die, I die Interesting take on things. Not at all what I was writing about, but interesting. That third group was about those who come into the hospital, look pretty good, then suddenly die without any warning. <TABLE cell
Death is not always a curse. And for all it is a release. Great article. I agree Doc. It is inevitable and is not necessarily something to be feared so. Doesn't mean I am running headlong toward it though.
Thanks Tova. I appreciate the comment.
Nope, no Opeth. Just the sobering reality of seeing people die on a daily basis, despite all we try to do.
As we wander our path through life, almost all of us will have tangential meetings with the Reaper a time or two before our final, personal reckoning. But some of us meet him a bit more often than that. Death quietly, continuously stalks the halls of the ICU, peering over our shoulders as we struggle and fight to keep him out. Or at least to delay his inevitable arrival. Perhaps in other cultures, he is not so
Sounds like she is a lot of fun Trina!
