Zombies back from the dead. I killed this author as [e-mail] and here it is, back from the grave. Get a lot of rejection do you?

What are you talking about???

[jangchub]

No, actually. I rarely if ever get rejected. I have a new computer and my husband set up the fake name for good reasons. It does seem you have a social problem in that you feel using a kill file is the answer to your ineptitude to converse with other humans.

[jangchub]

He's trying to belittle me for some reason. Hahahahahahahahaha. Like that's easy to do. I guess I'm killed from his sight. Yavo!

[Bill Rose]

You'd be amazed how often I get that JoeSpareBedroom. Sorry I had to piggy-back off of your post but I went and "kill filed" [e-mail] a.k.a. [e-mail]. Boy, I hate doing re-work. There is enough stupid in the world already so, I try to trim some of it out of my life. Last time around "it" was leaving the country because of some radio commercial. This time "it" blames the victims for shopping at Wally World because they hope to save a few dimes to pay for electricity or fix the car before it dies. Not everyone knows about the book "Fast Food Nation" or has the time to watch the DVD "The High Cost of Low Price". Those of us that do, need to bang the pots and point out how we are getting ripped-off. Do you (I know you know JoeSpareBedroom but since I got the soapbox, I might as well preachify a little.) really want to wear Nikes, when you know the person making them got a couple of dollars a day, if they are lucky? Do you really want to raise the price of food by chasing off the Mexicans? Some of whom came to their old country because, welfare for agri-corporations in the US of A in 2005 totaled a staggering $21,057,000,000. Would you be surprised to know that Mexican farmers have a hard to impossible time competing against American grown corn? Harumph!

Anyway, I've had enough vain, arrogant, stupid to last me a life-time. Jangchub goes in my "kill file". I got more important things to piss me off.

Sorry for the misunderstanding JoeSpareBedroom. Your one of the good-guys in my book.

I really got to talk to my doctor about my meds. Well, that's all from ol' alligator mouth for now.

Keep your day job. A writer you're not.

I'm sure the killfile gives you immense feelings of power.

Not any more.

I was just going to suggest that you check your meds.

[Bill Rose]

And what brings you to this epiphany? I'm just banging on a pot. A little CONSTRUCTIVE criticism never hurt. Don't be so terse.

No feeling of power. I'm just tired of the barking so, I'll shut the window.

Sorry Joe, I'm not that fickle. You're stuck with me liking you.

Gotta' work on your sense of humor boy. You're to young to be that old. If you can't indulge in a little self-deprecation once and awhile, who can you deprecate?

First of all, I am not an "IT." Second, someone pointed out that Walmart is NOT cheaper and I replied to that by saying THAT is the laziness of the consumer. They assume it is cheaper priced because it is sold at Walmart. I also said I shop at Walmart. Bill is a servere case of narcissitic, self worship.

No $ General? Importer, but they don't claim otherwise.
