Multiple Births Appall Me in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Okay so last night I'm watching Stone Phillips do some special on the Harris'. A nice little family who had SIX babies at one time. Why is it that every time I see one of these stories the parents usually seem to already have a kid but are having a hard time conceiving again so they decide to spend the first kids college funds on fertility treatments and BOOM! now there are four, five, six babies in there. And they always say "oh, it's such a miracle from God." No, no, my friend, it wou

Five Products That Were A Complete Waste Of Money in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

Sharper Image Bathroom CD Player The sound quality was crappy and the thing went through batteries like Star Jones at a buffet table. CURRENT STATUS : was donated to thrift store A: a novel by Andy Warhol I really loved POPism, THE Philosphy of Andy Warhol, and The Andy Warhol Diaries, so I thought I would buy this when it got re-released this year. It is BORING and almost incomprehensible. CURRENT STATUS

Ten Things I'd Change Over Ten Years in Misc JoeUser Forums

So if I could travel back in time to 1994, what would I change? #1. I would have developed better study habits. #2. I would have realized sooner that school is a huge waste of time and so were 90% of the people there. #3. I would have saved more of the money I was making when I had no real bills. #4. I would have stopped cultivating such a geeky image sooner. Let me add to this for anyone still in high school : stupid lit

Fashion Mistakes To Avoid In 2004 in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

Folks, you would think most of these would be common sense by now. BUT NO, I still see people doing these things. I don't care if you are "too cool to care" or so ridiculously uncool that you have no clue. You still look hideous, and you should not be allowed out in public as now my retinas are scarred by your horrid horrid fashion sense. Wearing Blue Eyeshadow This is one of my wife's pet peeves. Blue eyeshadow is okay if you are a model doing a shoot for Surface or som

Quick Thoughts On JoeUser.com in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I've seen some other people post their opinions of things they would like to see on JoeUser.com, so here are some of mine. *It doesn't seem fair that I get points for making a comment to a comment in my own article. *I noticed that there is now a way to chnage your name. (If there wasn't before.) THANK YOU! I was not happy being stuck with the moniker IWANTABS. What was I thinking? *Is there any way to make a list of favorite blogs? I know you can do a track article t

Did they ever make a good Jesus movie? What is GCJ talking about? Hey there was LAST TEMPTATION OF CHRIST, that was pretty cool, but hardly a christmas special. Actually, where I live they showed a handful of claymation type religious specials. But I don't know of any famous specials starring Jesus at the holidays. But they do read Scripture in Charlie Brown.

Reply to I Want My TV, Please. in Movies & TV & Books JoeUser Forums

I am so envious. To stop watching TV has always been one of my great aspirations but I can never do it. Maybe this year. It's all crap you are missing NOTHING. Some people will say "oh but what about the news." But the news is just same old same old and it's all gossip anyway. Like "Today a massive tidal wave hits Taiwan, but up next, jennifer lopez goes shopping!" Ridiculous. Everytime I meet someone who HAS successfully stopped watching TV I get so jealous because I know that it's just eating

Reply to The Death of Retail Courtesy in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

Wow that sucks. My favorite thing to do if I don't know the price of something, it's the last one, etc... I ask the customer "what sounds fair?" and as long as they don't say something outrageously low like "50 cents" that's what I ring it up for. I have been to places where if they cannot figure out what the price is they WILL NOT sell the item. Ridiculous, in my opinion. But like I said in my article, some boss somewhere sets these stupid policies. There are about ten rules I cannot break or t

Resolutions For The New Year in Misc JoeUser Forums

Yes, it's that time of the year again. Time to forget about all the little regrets you have of 2003 and instead look forward to 2004. First, let me say that 2003 has been a very good year for me. I am happier than ever in my marriage. I never ever thought being married would be this much fun. It seems like nobody I know is happy being married. Either that is really the case or they are hiding it. And why do OTHER couples, both married and unmarried, always want to give you advice on yo

I heard the "four kisses" story on the radio driving home from work and it was all I could do not to break down. Sometimes you hear something like that and it just makes you so unbearably sad.

The Fountainhead in Books JoeUser Forums

I've been reading Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" for about a week and a half now and I'm halfway through PART 2. I really enjoy the book, it has that great "can-do" spirit going on. You know, build yourself up from nothing and take no prisoners, I don't need anybody... fierce independence. The characters are very interesting and I like the little complexities. You can never really put your finger on anybody. You cannot say "oh he is the good guy, she is the bad one" etc.

Credit Cards, "SEE ID" and My Sanity in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

Everyone I meet has a different take on this. This is my take and what I know from my experience: Where I work, we have a company policy print-out that paraphrased basically says "All credit cards must be signed according to the rules of all three major credit card processors, (AmEx, Discover, and FDMS). If a customer's card is not signed or has "check id" written on it, please ask for two forms of ID to verify that they are the cardholder and then have them sign the card."

The Death of Retail Courtesy in Consumer Issues JoeUser Forums

okay. I'm taking a little break from my updates about dieting and ATKINS and whatnot. Yes, I am still trying to get a perfect six pack going on, but I have to tell you, I seriously regret naming my blog that. In a way, it's very limiting. But, I guess it speaks volumes about the kind of superficial crap that is really important to me, sadly enough. But enough of that. I would like to talk right now about the retail industry. Quite a lot gets said from the customers point o

ATKINS FOR LIFE : Day One and Two Report in Misc JoeUser Forums

Day One I am going to post this after completing two whole days eating "low-carb". First, I am sad to report that I did not cut my carbs as low as 30g. Instead, I got to about 50g. Which, if you are huge, is UNACCEPTABLE. But since I only have 15-20 pounds to lose and I am "active" Atkins does say that 50g may be okay in his book "Atkins for Life". Nevertheless I will try harder on day two. I have to tell you that my cravings have been seriou

Reply to God's Plan? in Blogging JoeUser Forums

I think religion does cause a lot of pain and destruction but I'm glad it's around because it gives people something to do with their time. I don't really want to know what religious people would come up with on their own if they didn't have a dogma to blindly go by. As long as they stay out of my hair, it's A-OK with me.

Goodbye Pizza, Goodbye Fat! in Misc JoeUser Forums

Well, it is early Christmas morning and what I am most excited about is what I am giving MYSELF for Christmas, namely, control over my eating habits and a new way of eating and the abdominals I have always wanted.

ATKINS : Can It Work For Me? in Misc JoeUser Forums

Almost everybody knows the name "atkins". We all know people who have tried the diet, maybe even lost weight on the diet. Well, I bought two of his books, "New Diet Revolution" and "Atkins For Life" and I believe this is really the plan I have been needing. Twice in my adult life I have weighed for brief periods at a weight I was personally happy with. Right around 135. I even almost had my coveted abs. Right now I weigh about 150 and I feel like --- well, like the marshmellow man. I kn

One Minute Album Review : The Darkness "Permission To Land" in Music JoeUser Forums

So recently I've been hearing a lot about this band The Darkness. Online persons recommend them. Magazines applaud them. What does the music sound like? Well. It sounds sort of like Deep Purple fronted by The Cure's Robert Smith. I'm not sure but I think the idea was they were trying to do a sort of satire on that whole long hair WHITESNAKE type of music. But, ironic or not, this whole album has been one annoying tune after another. I feel like trailer park trash. The riffs

Home For The Holidays in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

"If you could be home for the holidays with family and friends anywhere in the world, where would you be?" I would be in Florida. My family lives in Florida. Her family lives in Florida. So I would be there. Probably staying with one of them and being entirely uncomfortable. I try to have fun when visiting my relatives but it is not easy for me. I'm sure for a lot of people this question would bring up the warm fuzzies. And maybe I'm a tad ungrateful. Because I do still have bo

Reply to Americans are humans in Politics JoeUser Forums

I think your two recent articles are right on the money. And as Bill Maher pointed out in his excellent book "When You Ride Alone, You Ride With bin Laden" , no empire in the history of the planet with the power of the US has ever shown the kind of restraint that the US of A does. There will always be dark spots but comparably, I mean, we inundate people with our "horrible" Western culture? So what. We also go into war with the dual objective of winning AND minimizing casualties on both sides. Y
