Re: HUMOR: Getting even at Home Depot

Ever find the website where the guy responded as an biologist in some remote area of the north sea? after several months of fooling around, the subject headings started to come back as insults about his mothers integrity.

Hey! You just reminded me that there is a guy that works at our local Lowe's that is in a wheel chair AND works in the plumbing department. Weird coincidence. He knows his stuff too. I can go there with just a vague idea of what I need, and he will zoom off in his chair and find exactly what I need, no hesitation at all. Great guy. I forget he's in a wheelchair sometimes.

Heh. I'm also not sure I'd have survived bringing out a camera!

If you happen to be in an area that still actually has analog service.

In my area, I swear there's probably one analog channel in each site.

If you look at the SEC documents like the 10-Q you will see it is still the International Business Machines Corp.

When in my local Borg yesterday, I saw a salesguy with an odd way of walking. I listened to him explaining things to a customer and figured he quite possibly used to be a construction worker. I'd hazard a WAG that his walking style may have been the result of a workplace injury.

Why wouldn't these stores snap up ex-construction/plumber/whatever workers who are knowledgable in their fields and who have suffered an accident rendering them incapable of continuing in their old job? It's a win-win - Borg gets experience and knowledge at a lower price than competing with the construction industry directly and a disabled employee gets a job where they can use their expertise.

No, the real question is "Why do you suppose someone else's reason for going to a store is any of your damn business?"

But, strictly as an exercise, imagine yourself doing some home improvements for a disabled friend or family member who goes to HD with you to pick out the materials.

This is astonishing given the lawsuit I read bout not too long ago. A legless inmate who was literally crawling around the prison on bloody stumps was suing to try to force the prison to obey the court order from a previous lawsuit and allow him to use a wheel- chair or prosthetic limbs (which might have been made from wood.)

The wardon had refused to obey the court order arguing that the wheelchair or limbs might be used to hide contraband.

It seemed to me that there was at least one warden on the wrong side of the bars.

The inmate's going to loose this case. He doesn't have a leg to stand on.

Dave,

The cell that you are currently operating in has the ability to record your presence in that area along with the date and time. Older and rural cells (macro cells) are typically several miles in diameter. If you are in a metropolitan are that utilizes microcells the diameter of these cells can be between 300 and 1000 meters.

If you don't want you travels to be known turn off your cell phone.

I don't have a direct cite, take a look on google for how cell phones work. The system has to know the cell you are in so that it can route calls to you. When your phone is on, the phone is communicating with the cell you are in.

The thing is you almost can't blame the warden. (if he is only being fearful and not insensitive). One of the Max. prisons near me gets Locked down almost once a month because some idiot inmate has found out another way to make a weapon from his cloths, diner, or jail house furniture.

I had to laugh. If a Methodist had done it they would have said he was acting like a Baptist. The Baptist church is right across the street from the Methodist in my town (and down the street form the Episcopal). We are always ribbing one another that way.

I meant no slight to either denomination (truth to tell if Railey is guilty and nonrepentant -- he was neither Baptist, Methodist, nor Christian, but a hypocrite -- I belong to neither denomination, I was only trying to make sure the facts were correct). I lived in Dallas at the time of these events, and I thought he was Pastor of one of the Methodist churches. [Quick check on Google, from : " Within seven years he was made senior minister at First United Methodist Church in Dallas. ..."]

Ayup. We had our telco security call the office once to find out if I really had traveled from Rochester NY to Mpls/St. Paul in the 3 hours between cell calls they saw in their logs. They were able to place me at both airports and were apparently concerned that my cell may have been stolen or cloned (or both).

The call came to the office while I was still at the Mpls airport, their security red-flagged it immediately.
