Timely Demise of Sanity

For Tawnya, a stache returns.

I got an office with a good partner. After 4 some months, I have put it about right again. I hope that we get more people out of our office so that I have a steady stream of things to continue to start. I have many small projects, but I'm eager to get new people started. Thankfully, I like my job!

Neena sleeps in laundry

2011-03-12T15:08:00.002-06:00

Neena loves warm laundry and fell asleep. She has taken a hold of me and commands me often. she prefers being hand-fed wet food and treats. She was rescued from the Whitley County Animal shelter and I think she rescues me sometimes ... in ensuring that I keep level-headed and spend my time playing. When the dog isn't here, she has free range as she prefers.

While the Ohio judicial system couldn't find a vein for a lethal injection, a man pointed out that bullets are more capable of finding difficult-to-find veins. While the suggestion was sadly dismissed, it is indeed a viable option that more states should take.

2009-06-23T19:14:00.002-05:00

I got a job as an imaginary estate agent. I don't have any clients yet.

I was asked my favorite position and I said, "fetal". Later on I found out they have an understood context that my response didn't answer.

I went to the unemployment office and am eligible for re-employment. Well, I already knew that.

I was angered when I saw my investment form ... I got a statement showing my 401 negative K. It was 401 Special K, but that was a lie too.

reminder of how weak you are

2009-06-22T09:59:00.002-05:00

Tawnya got a puppy on Sunday. He was a cute little puppy who "didn't like men". Well, he took a liking to me and would follow me wherever I went. He wrestled with me, suckled on my arm and snuggled next to me.

That was Sunday, Monday, and part of Tuesday.

On Wednesday, his previously unrecognized parvo took a toll on him and he had to be put down.

It reminded me that we come into the world weak, and only with love, security, and luck do we survive any length of time.

Goodnight Scooby!

hive

2009-06-22T09:56:00.003-05:00

Dad chopped down some limbs and branches from the sickly front tree. He didn't notice but I found a paper wasp nest. I showed Morgan, the little girl next door. She thought the larvae squirming around were funny. I suppose so. I usually don't harm things, including insects, but I know from experience that wasps can be aggressive and protect nests. Kids, especially, pay the price for the wasps' aggression. I sprayed the hive after I took the photo.

2009-06-22T09:54:00.001-05:00

I am a bit beaten and feeling rundown. I look at the screen and have typers' block. I may soon write again. Maybe that and walking will make me feel like a person again.

poisoned

2009-06-08T15:21:00.002-05:00

I got poison ivy and after the Calamine lotion, I look like a worker from a whale-semen collection facility. My arms are whitish pink with streaks rather like I shielded myself from a high-velocity discharge.

To add to it, my one section was leaking like an old radiator. Whoo! I suggest against getting poison ivy. I didn't really itch that much, but boy was it gross.

I have some medicine (anti-biotics) that should clear up my ivy and my body's reaction.

Before a whole bunch of numbnuts start whining and complaining about some rapper being killed, let's look at his lyrics:

"Fettuccini pasta and all the other synonyms", while stupid, isn't violent. In fact most of his lyrics were violent, but there are always exceptions. "I done hit the cities and left jackals in the ambulance". Perhaps Dolla spent his last dollar, notice it ends with an "r", on something before being cashed out.

Movies that make you go, "pew"!

2009-05-15T17:12:00.000-05:00

I read an application for a Facebook game, “Top 5 Worst Movies”. How could you possibly narrow it to five? I have certainly seen some stinkers and I will try to limit it to only a few. For the simplification, I will not mention sequels, which are notoriously worse than the original, if not just outright aggravating wastes of your time.

—Howard the Duck, while not the very worst movie of all time, it was foul (not fowl) in every sense of the word. It tried to be funny but came across like a depressed hobo clown holding an explosive.
—Hudson Hawk was so bad, I never made it through the hole thing. It made you call, “Die now” instead of McClain’s Die Hard.
—The Cat In The Hat; with Mike Myers was so annoying we muted it, fast-forwarded it, and it still was rotten. Man, why did they put that to film?
—Cemetery Man was creepy, bizarre and mostly unwatchable. The Dark Backward was bizzaro-world movie, but not as whack as Cemetery Man.
—Children of Men was cruel and unusual punishment to your mind and psyche. It was depressing, stupid, and like Blair Witch Project style filming with better equipment.
—Batman & Robin; I will make an exception to sequels here. Although Batman, with Michael Keaton wasn’t good, the following movies were puke-inducing. The worst was with reminders that Uma Thurman is cute but cinches the movie’s failure as much as the rest of it.
—Friday 13th series was stupid. The first one (not the remake) was the only one to have something like a plot, being that the mother had multiple schizoid episodes. Where the writers were puffing and blowing then snorting then licking LSD and angel-dust, thy rolled out Jason X. What could be scarier than a spaceship with … a Chicago area killer, Jason who used to hunt co-eds in the woods?
—Judge Dread made me turn off the TV and my friends and I all pick on the movie during and afterword for about four hours. Stalone, stop making movies!
—Pokemon, while made for kids, also was a great sleep aid. My niece was on my lap while the boys watched this mind-numbing action-lapse laden, monotonous, go-nowhere lump of color that introduced – a new, rare, overpriced toy.
—Nothing But Trouble had, as I remember two things funny, but in hindsight, the sweaty-palm badness and tequila-retching aftershock completely blocked my memory of anything that might have been “enjoyable”.
—Godzilla with Matthew Broderick was terrible in so many ways. It forced you to hate it all. NYC is attacked and the military isn’t called in, nor is the President of the United States ever called. To top the errors of the sneaky, fifty to seventy-five foot Godzilla who can hide, the makers made it cute and lovable. You felt sorry when it was killed.

Steven Seagal, Pauly Shore; do I have to mention any titles?

—Problem Child was proof that John Ritter would take terrible roles for money. This was Dennis the Menace written by Dennis, directed by Dennis, and ruined by Dennis, too. Although they tried to make you feel some warm-fuzzies, you wanted, more than your third-worst enemy, to strangle the kid and end the movie mid-way.
—Dumb And Dumberer should have tipped me off that it was going to be bad, but I, to this day have not and will not watch any part of this movie more than the crap I already saw.
—The League Of Extraordinary Gentlemen had potential, but then they dropped the script in dog crap. They cleaned it off somewhat, then dropped it in the toilet. With less of it readable, they proceeded to make the movie, only to have half fall into a garbage disposal and the other half shredded in a fan.
—The Blue Lagoon was a romance movie? No, it was a boring, quasi-incestuous tale of two kids, nudity, sickeningly billed as a fourteen or fifteen year-old naked. Sure, I and my same-aged guys wanted to see Brooke Shield, CK model, naked. What you got was heavy-petting by, yep, a body double. Darn! They didn’t fool me.
—Freejack was so bad, kids as young as 3 throw pillows at it in disgust. I think adults and kids alike called, “I wanna go outside and play”.
—Last Action Hero was … uh, well, much like your restroom visit after drinking a foreign nation’s water. I think you get what I mean.
—Christmas With The Kranks had potential, but within five minutes you knew the movie was gonna stink. Boy! It delivered stink like skunks on the warpath.
—Epic Movie made me cringe to sit watching it. I ached to march off to the knife drawer to slash all nerve endings. It was supposed to be satire, but ended up being quagmire of outhouse and pasture.

GM isn't done screwing over America

2009-05-08T08:34:00.003-05:00

Just wait, they'll make more ... money overseas. After taking lots and lots of bailout money, GM has decided it would be wiser to build cars overseas and leaves the workforce in America out of many jobs. Tough luck, suckers.

"You, the taxpayers, can get double your money back if you can find the ace." Of course, if the ace were one of the cards, you might stand a chance. GM gives us the 3 Card Monte and we play it anyway.

GM, you owe America the money -- NOW. Keeping an America company afloat by not employing Americans. That's a clever plan.

clean swing

2009-05-07T22:25:00.004-05:00

Tawnya and I headed out to the park to walk. It was good, fun, mixed with bad timing. The stinking bikes were flying through the woods on a race. They cared little for what and who got struck.

There was a vine hanging down. I remembered swinging on these things when I was young, so -- again, my fat belly and butt tried it. Tawnya was hesitant at first, but relented and had a good time.

She is great! She's bold, adventuresome, and a part of me I will not let go without a fight. She joked that the bra we found in the woods to be someone we knew. The person quickly responded, "That's not mine! That's not my size"! Of course, we were kidding.

Poker night

2009-05-07T22:12:00.008-05:00

We played several games of poker. This time we played with chips and Mike came out the winner. Jeff hosted and presented us with lots to eat. We all ate well, drank some and played so-so.

Two defining games were: "Up and Down the River" aka Marcus always loses game, and "Screw Your Neighbor". The In-Between I chose lasted far too long. "... River" game saw many dealers pay out to the players. Wicked, unpredictable, non-strategy game.

The end of the evening was a bit more risque. My love called me and the guys gave me heck about the sweet talking I did. No sooner did I finish, then Monkeyjack did the same sticking thing. While I was in restroom, Monkeyjack did something naughty.

He tried to trick my love into thinking it was me, sending her a dirty message. She knew it wasn't me, but later continued a conversation with Dave. We shared the whole conversation, filthy as it was. My love actually held back, not wanting to shock or offend anyone.

Ahem, that's my love!

Thanks all! It was a fun night!

I quit, get life back

2009-05-07T22:10:00.002-05:00

Stupid game! I had to quit because I just stopped doing other things making more sense. Facebook and other networks host Mafia Wars. It is much like the old BBS games of turn based and things happen while you are not online. You are limited, somewhat, as to what you can complete and accomplish while on.

I need to write and do things again. Skip the game, live again.

I know I was angry, because I didn't do the best thing I could have done to fix the problem. I had my camera in my hand coming back from the walk and this jerk had pulled up touching my bumper. I, of course, don't have the picture because I was too stinking mad. I got in my car, moved it, then came back and got a picture. As you can see, there is PLENTY of space behind the car, it was the behavior of a jerk.

In fact, the putz didn't even pull up to the steps, which would make sense. Nope. So, if you see this vehicle and plate ... beware the jerk (gender unknown as I never saw the driver). I assume this is parked at the driver's house.

2009-03-27T20:23:00.002-05:00

There is a local cat where Tawnya lives and she generally is happy to greet you, walking briskly in a kitty manner to accept petting and to rub against you. The last time that I saw her, she was happily playing with something. The something happened to be a previously living thing. She had caught a mole. I could see the small holes in the lawn where she followed then dug up the mole.

Man, was she happy! She was reliving the fight as it never happened. She picked up the mole, tossed it in the air and struck it down. She did this a while, then held it in her mouth. She batted it around the ground like a soccer ball.

Eventually she agreed to come over to see me and rub against me. She gave me about 30 seconds of "love" as it were, then back she went to playing with the long-since dead prey.

more power to the people

2009-03-23T09:19:00.002-05:00

While AIG will rename itself, it occurred to me that taxpayers should have a newly enactable power:

alter loan rates.

That's right! If taxpayers loaned banks money, then they could:

create new fees:

$1 million for late payment plus $100,000 fee for processing for each occurrence.
change of services fees--any services altered (reduced or reassessed at high rates/fees) at any bank receiving stimulus monies will result in an immediate penalty fee of $1 million and an increase of rate equal to or greater than the increase in fees.
Since taxpayers are not competing for business and they are the sole loaning "institution", they can set the rate higher than market value without prior notice and is not subject to arbitration.
non-teller fees--to compensate the job loss for persons not filling the role of tellers for the loan, fees may range from $1,000 to $250,000 depending on locality.
recycling fee--to offset the use paper use and electronic filing and government required hard-copy filing with undisclosed varying rates
without prior notice, loan may be re-assessed to match current market economic need of loaning body (taxpayers)

This could extend to all "bailout" packages to companies and third parties.

Put power and money back in the hands and control of the taxpayers--it's their money.

--- another additional option could be to require all companies (third parties, including individuals) must rename themselves to any name (including previous or current name) with the same font size inclusion of "owes American taxpayers great respect, thanks, and timely repayment of the loan".

Pope missed the boat

2009-03-17T10:39:00.002-05:00

Pope declares that sexual abstinence is the key to stopping the spread of AIDS. Yeah, let me know how that works out for you. If the Vatican can't "stop" people from sinning, what fuels the delusion that the mere suggestion that "don't do it" will work?

Did God create humans with the capacity to actively seek out sexual affection from their spouse or was it so designed so that it was terribly painful and disgusting to the point that it would serve only as a means to continue the species. Oh, no ... it actually is perfectly natural and pleasurable to most couples.

Beyond the societal bounds of ceremonial couples (married), do couple engage in sexual activity? Yes, they do. I would propose that many couples do indeed. If I were to suggest a meager 30%, in any large population, that it a great number of people.

Now, take into consideration that HIV isn't like facial acne popping up plainly and sometimes all too clearly for everyone to see. HIV is a disease that may lie seemingly dormant for a short or long while. It may start, then go into a short regression. The only way to find out is to get checked. Often HIV patients have no symptoms. Early AIDS victims also have few or no strong symptoms.

If the Vatican wants to really help, send doctors and build clinics to do free screening to candidates. There, the society should suggest a quarantine micro-society for the AIDS victims so that they don't expose others to the disease. This then would give African nations millennium leper colonies.

Great, welcome to 1800 B.C.

I think a non-sexual person directing sexual people to deny their natural behaviors of normal sexual activity, is moronic. I really think the Vatican needs to get out of the 13th century and enter into a level of thinking that people will naturally have sex. "Don't do it" isn't a good slogan.

I will close this with some Catholic kids actively performing "saddlebacking". Since girls are supposed to save their virginity for marriage, some engage in anal sex so that they are vaginal virgins for marriage. Again, the Vatican needs to rethink many, many, many things stepping away from the situation a bit to see the bigger picture.

How long would you listen to a person telling you the joys of a sexless life?

I sense something is wrong here.

CNN, dumb

2009-03-13T20:25:00.002-05:00

While I someone who might agree that it is appropriate, not to imply a good choice, CNN used "Gives You Hell" for transition music. Well, the instrumentation wouldn't have been bad, but ... it used the chorus.

"Hell" on a professional news network, especially as a theme is unprofessional.
"Gives you hell" could have been a negative slant toward the network itself -- nice going dummies.
I will also add the response that students watch news in the morning too. Again, great lack of thinking.

Somebody had too many dum-dum suckers at work I suspect.

weekend

2009-03-09T10:15:00.003-05:00

Integrating lives together is a long and sometimes difficult journey.

It was a good weekend. T and I were to go to Fort Wayne to meet up with friends. As luck would have it, big Z was interested in coming. That is monumental. T and I were putting off the full integration of our many people into a wholeness. He was understandably hesitant. He had the chance to meet me via chat or conversation.

The trip there was a bit hampered as it seemed long to Z to be a long trip. Z finished that day with a party. He was tired, hungry and winding down from a party. Packed into a car for a "longish" car ride wasn't ideal. The plan was to meet up with Monkeyjack and party. Well, there was a side trip.

Big Z must have seen a short video of Lilly. I believe he really wants a dog that he can raise and train. While he loves the dog with him now, that silly canine isn't trained as he hoped or would want him to be. He requested to spend time with Lilly. Well, that was fine. He got a chance to run and play with Lilly who was obliging. Big Z also got a chance to meet J, my niece.

We had to go and got to Monkeyjack's house a bit late for dinner. Well, we prepped a plate for big Z, then T. I grabbed some food quickly so Charlie and J could pound on me. They love tumbling and rough-housing. K was disappointed that J was diving from the top of the bed to land on me. I took it all, as I do. I take a lot of beating.

We wanted to stay a bit longer, so K popped in Wii Mario Kart. big Z was wicked tired and growing sleepy and disagreeable. Well, I can't blame him. Anyway, K made coffees and a shake for us to go. We got to play with the rough and tough puppies who are very much who they are going to be. Silly puppies with bounds of energy followed by lounging.

It was simply great to see everyone again and to have a chance to more completely integrate our many lives together.

I was greatful that Debbie's surgery went very well, as she has many people praying for her and God's love is everywhere. Thanks to God for the many challenges before each of us and to our successes through God's guidance.

Sunday, big Z, T, and C went to "the Y". I was invited but opted out for the concern that I might have an unfortunately timed due-to-happen confrontation with a man who holds me accountable to my own actions and the consequences of many others' choices including his own. I will make that day when it comes but this early on with big Z so close to him, I will wait until that day doesn't fall back on Z negatively.

Comcast

2009-03-08T21:10:00.005-05:00

I will assume that the connection is still working. I saw that it was working continuously.

Two technicians came out to the place to fix the connection. Well, as it turned out the signal was weak even with the signal boost. The technicians Reuben and Jason were prompt and fast and got the signal back to standard. They also did a diagnostic on the computer. Viola! It works.

The culprit, an external splitter. It was a new splitter that went bad. The splitter was not a Comcast part, only one that was purchased. I don't know a product name or number or specifically what it looked like. Don't bother asking.

While getting people to address the issue was a hassle, I will note here that after some concern, I was requested to keep some Comcast personnel informed on the success of the cable. I and TM have been contacted by Comcast several times in an effort to ensure that it was shown that customer service is indeed their concern.

It's nice to know that this company tried. It is a shame that, "it had to be taken to this level", as a representative had told me. If the personnel who contacted me wish to be named to highlight their participation in the success of the internet, I should expect them to let me know. I hope this shows that Comcast will work hard to ensure that customers are a priority.

Maybe later, I will use the catch phrase of, "... astic"

What I will try to keep resounding is, "I would like to ensure this is completed successfully. If you are interested in my assistance, please feel free to reply"

Comcast ... pending

2009-03-06T17:14:00.001-06:00

Well, for TM's sake, Comcast is really trying. I will hold off on the glowing remarks until the system shows stability, but so far Comcast, as a company shows they they do indeed care and have been contacting TM and I about the issue.

Comcast, if it works, I will certianly recognize your efforts.

Day of pets

2009-03-06T13:50:00.003-06:00

"Cheyenne" after a visit to the doctor's
in this photo she is still laboring under the haze of sedatives

LC called me to let me know of a downturn for her beloved Cheyenne who has a severe infection. Cheyenne was discharged from the VET with antibiotics. There are many infected lumps about her body. What wasn't clear was if they were cancer or another infection.

The vets took biopsies of the material and will contact LC and KC when they have the results. Poor girl!

I also got a chance to meet up with a couple of local cats. The one I call "pretty kitty" who is silly and people-friendly. She will meow to get attention and will rub against you. She has taken to playing with me as of late. After a very short time of "lovies" she will grasp my hand and play. She won't fully bite down, so she is playing. Odd she feels for comfortable. Later, her stark-white friend came by.

The white cat is quite skittish, but on this night, she was more willing to be pet. I had to go to pick up C from a friend's house. There I expected two be pounced by two dogs -- one large lab and the other a spunky little breed. Nope, they were in the house.

When the door was opened, they came outside and greeted me. When I opened the car door -- pop, in went the larger old lab. The silly old man wanted a ride. The little, lighter one was easier to retrieve from the car, but the old man didn't want to get out. He was like a stubborn old mule.

You could pull, push, beg him. He didn't budge. He wanted a road trip. After much hauling, his girl human successfully got him out of the car. Treats interested him only to the point of wanting them in the car. They didn't motivate him to leave the car.

I ended up feeling worried about Cheyenne and was tempted into smiling with the other animals who just needed love.

listening

2009-03-06T13:44:00.002-06:00

While it might be scoffed, challenged, debunked, I am listening to an audio CD of Silvia Brown's Phenomenon. It starts as a glossary of terms, explaining meanings. It is interesting to listen to her work. While I intend to read more of her work, I like how she starts off. She believes in many things including astral projection, spirit guides and much more, all the while also reminding the reader/listener that there is one true God and Jesus Christ. Her books clearly are positive and an effort to reach people who really are in need of answers.

Anyway, good work so far.

Please also read the follow up after this posting:
"Comcast II"

The internet isn't working. Comcast has given me many reasons.

Reason 1: Microsoft isn't working
Reason 2: The software wasn't correctly installed (took three times to install it). This reason was given after the final install.
Reason 3: The router is a problem (it wasn't hooked up to a router).
Reason 4: The modem needs reset
Reason 5: The modem was activated
Reason 6: unknown why the modem wasn't creating a valid IP address
Reason 7: signal strength was too weak and needed boosting

I switched out all the cables, the modem three times and still a problem. A technician is coming out tomorrow to help me with it. It isn't mine, but it is my dear love's connection.

Below is some of the conversation on live-chat:
Problem : The internet signal to the modem is often times off and inconsistent. Why is that?
TM > The internet signal to the modem is often times off and inconsistent. Why is that?
JL > Hello TM, Thank you for contacting Comcast Live Chat Support. My name is JL. Please give me one moment to review your information.
TM > Good afternoon Jane!
JL > Hi, how are you doing?
TM > I am well, though disappointed
JL > Good afternoon TM!
TM > Could you please check the signal and better still the history of connection on my account please?
JL > I am sorry to know that you are having issue with your internet connection. Please do not worry I will help you with your issue.
TM > Track or find it by phone number: ######
TM > I don't have the account number in front of me, sorry.
JL > That is fine. Please provide the complete address listed on your account instead.
TM > I have had some difficulty with it since I got the account.
TM > My address is -------------------------
TM > You are actually chatting with MH, her boyfriend, for she has little time to fight with it and she doesn't often have a signal to do live chat
JL > I will be running some tests here on my end to check on your connection. May I have two minutes to do this? I will be getting back to you with the result.
JL > Can you please tell me more about your issue? When has this started?
TM > Yes!
JL > Hello MH.
TM > Thanks. I am calling TM now. She will be most happy with you if you can fix this.
JL > How many Computers are connected to your modem.
TM > only 1
TM > The computer is HP, Vista operating system
JL > I appreciate your patience; I am still working on this for you, would you mind holding for a little longer?
TM > It is directly connected to the modem. I have a router, but the modem is not connected to it
TM > I don't mind holding. Thank you Jane.
JL > You are welcome. I am glad to help.
TM > I called tech support before. It is a Zoom modem
JL > Please run a speed test on your end at www.2wire.com
TM > I am giving her directions now
TM > I am in Fort Wayne, she is in Warsaw (both in Indiana).
TM > Does it show that the computer is working?
TM > Does it show that the connection is valid?
JL > Yes, it is showing on my end.
TM > If there is no signal, she can't run the test online, right?
TM > working on it ... sorry to keep you
JL > Yes, that is right.
JL > No, not a problem at all.
TM > Dash it all! Where is she?
JL > I appreciate your effort.
TM > Still trying
JL > I just got the results and it is showing that modem is not properly acquiring good signals. I will be sending signals to your modem. This will allow the modem to acquire good signals from the head end.
JL > May I request you to please reset your modem as soon as we are done with this chat session. We need to wait for this chat session to end since resetting the connection will disconnect this chat session. Please shut down your Computer first and then unplug your modem from the wall outlet. Please plug it back after one minute. Is this okay with you?
TM > Hmmm
TM > I will have her reset the modem.
TM > I have reset it before. What is the glitch?
TM > The computer is new as is the modem
TM > We bought the modem from Staples about 1 week ago.
TM > The Comcast RCA modems were completely junk
JL > Yes, it is not with your equipment and computer.
JL > It is just that we need to boost your connection from our end.
TM > sweet!
TM > That will bring joy to her and especially her daughter who would spend her life on the computer, if possible.
JL > Just to set proper expectation, this will not take effect immediately on your end.
TM > 24 hours?
JL > It will need adequate time for your connection to reach its optimum performance.
JL > No, less than 24 hours.
TM > ok
TM > She is restting the modem now
JL > Was I able to address your question. Would that be all for now? Is there any other information I can provide you with?
TM > great, less than 24 hours
TM > That completely helped, thank you1
JL > You are most welcome. It was nice having you this morning. You have a great day ahead and take care!
TM > Is there a survey that I might complete on your behalf?
TM > TM indicates that she doesn't have a signal now.
JL > Yes, that is normal.
JL > She will not see the effect on her end immediately.
TM > OK, but tomorrow it should be better?
JL > It would not reach tomorrow,
JL > It will be fine within 8 hours.
TM > Thank you very much! That is fantastic!
JL > You are welcome. I am glad to help.
TM > I would love to fill out a survey giving you glowing remarks!
TM > my email address is ------------- if you could send it there, please?
JL > That is nice to know thank you.
JL > Sure, we would be glad to do that.
TM > You have brought joy to her, me, her family. I hope that you have a great day!

I might have been good at the job I was thinking.

Like I was Dolemite

Gosh! It sure sounds legitimate!
If your daughter falls for this one, the error lies in her thinking.

My sister sent me this

I highlighted the funner parts. Sadly, this is our taxes dollars and private funding here folks. I suppose the followup report that the fish had a "favorite" position, the fish-style?
The news was shown on Earthlink.

We are seeking a doctor. The doctor doesn't have to have a mastery of English, because we surely don't.

drinking yields mastery of silly walks

I suppose if you had enough of these you could excel any silly walk without the government grant, though John Cleese might still give you "a run for your money".

Thanks ISJ for sending this to me!

My sister, some time ago, had some issues on her computer. I ran a virus scan on Norton, then downloaded and ran a Spyware Doctor scan. I would and do use them both, but clearly on the Virus Protection Deathmatch, Spyware Doctor found many more and I would rate more effective this time.

You know the rules, when the mouse clicks, come out fighting computer problems.

Yes, please -- shut up!

Keanu and much of Hollywood. Would you please, please, please shut up?

Oh Mama!

Obama, you approved this? Well, Democrats, what have you got to say for yourselves?

2009-02-20T11:02:00.003-06:00

We received your payment of $100 Trillion. Unfortunately, the bill to keep us in the style of living to which we have grown accustomed is much higher. If you would like auto bill pay monthly for $10 Trillion, please sign up on our website: goldenparachutes-ucktheworkers.com
