OT: As if THS is news.....

[Bonehenge (B A R R Y)]

Good movie.

[J. Clarke]

5.85 an hour Federally. Some states have set it higher.

Who said anything about "married and had a family to support"? Single people like to sleep dry and have full bellies too you know.

Never heard of that one.

No, actually I hadn't.

I'm not quite clear on how having just gotten out of prison equates to poverty.

Why would I?

And people paid you for these in the 21st century?

Imagine how depressing it is for someone actually living that life.

(Taking Max aside for a little friendly advice... Dude... see this wall here? Now go smack your head against it till it bleeds. That is what 'discussing' things with Clarke gets you... a head ache. Nothing more. You are wasting your time.)

[Frank Boettcher]

Thanks R, I needed that. My head is already bleeding from that endeavour.

Maybe it's time to get off the free newsreader and get one with a plonking feature. Spell check would be nice too, I often embarrass myself...........

I'd have said dumb, but amounts to the same.

Heh, no one has my number. Anyway, doesn't matter what time anyone calls, my cell phone hasn't been turned on for probably a couple of weeks - and that was only so I could check a couple of settings. Seems someone mentioned texting is handy in a meeting. If you're texting it means you aren't paying attention to the meeting. And, if you need to receive text in a meeting, means you weren't prepared for the meeting. I used to get caught in mandatory "meetings", often lasting an hour. I'd sit thru all the drivel, then listen to about 2-3 sentences that actually applied to me. They'd have been a lot better served by letting me work during that time, and just stopping by my desk and telling me, or handing me a note. But that wouldn't have made them feel important. The rest it was the same, it would have made a lot more sense, and much less time, to just pass the infor along on an individual basis. No input was requested very often, just output. Apparently, the meetings were meant as sort of a pep rally, or something. I was never impressed.

Good man ... I figured someone would get it! :)

I thought the movie was unusually brilliant satire, for Hollowwood, on conformity.

[Tanus]

Frank, if you're on Windows, might I recommend Mozilla Thunderbird

with a free account at aoie'bird has spell checking, and rules for plonking. It may not be the best out there, but it's served me well, and it's free as well.

It's been a slow day.

You spelled :impressing" wrong. It should be spelled "annoying". I haven't heard a one of those "conversations" that impressed me, but all of them annoyed me.

[Mark & Juanita]

That is being polite to those around you. Good for you.

Amazing what you hear over 1/2 a cell conversation, isn't it?

Our admin assistant had a cartoon up for a while. The picture showed crowds of people all yakking in public on their cell phones. The caption said something to the effect, "Americans have voiced their concerns over the terrorist surveillance act because of their deep concern for privacy"

[Mark & Juanita]

Yep, one often needs to step back and determine whether one has crossed the line to where "people can't tell the difference".

[Rod & Betty Jo]

Be careful!!!!!.....the kids moved out but now we have THREE cats....and now a aquarium to entertain the little fur balls......The six ft pine & birch cat post/ tower was kind of fun to build though. Rod

I have been led to believe, though, that the Taiwanese and Japanese think our cell phone use is retarded. From what I was told, most of them have at least two cell phones.

[Frank Boettcher]

Thanks, I'll check it out. I am on windows, and currently using Mozilla firefox.
