  1. I, like you, am a native southern and I always tell people that I don't speak English, I speak southern. I would love to know what country they thought you were from. BTW, it was more about how the conman wouldn't listen rather than a real jab at customer service. (although we all know that the overall level of customer service has dropped, but not in your case I'm sure)
  2. I do not and that is a shame. I hope someone knows of a good place. It is a shame that kids and the dads just can't go out and shoot cans like the good old days. Times have changed and I personally don't think it all for the better. Good luck!
  3. My wife and I were both working in our office (in the house) when our home phone rang. I answered it with the speaker, as I always do, so my wife heard this conversation. It was someone, with a foreign accent (guess what country...India) who advised me that they were calling from Windows and my computer was giving them information that it had many viruses and it was important for me to follow his instructions. Since I had already had one of these calls last year and had some fun with the con-artist at that time I decided to do the same again. I told the man thank you so much for calling an
  4. I saw this also, perhaps the best lead so far. Despite her plane being so high up, the fact that she was so certain that she woke her fellow passengers, told a stewardess and filed a police report, all before the fact that a plane was missing was known, is strong evidence that she saw something, at least in my opinion.
  5. I am ok with the female drunk twenty-somethings, but where there are drunk female twenty-somethings, you can be dang sure drunk male twenty-somethings will soon follow.
  6. I have got to get me some new glasses, I was shocked that mei lan would write: "Elvis is alive and well on planet Earth." Then after reading it a few times, I finally read it correctly. I hope they get some leads, very sad.
  7. I quit reading them after they wouldn't publish my story.
  8. I understand. I forgot to put in my post, if I am correct, that doesn't make it right.
  9. I may be wrong about my guess, but my guess is that the mother ticked off so many people, school officials, law enforcement and the county court officials, that she basically talked her way into a charge. I would suspect that she perhaps didn't handle herself in court well and perhaps ticked off the jury as well. All of the above is just conjecture, and let's say that I am correct in my conjecture, I am not sure that this was handled correctly by the county. But I do think a lot of people "talk" and "act" their way into more trouble than they do by actual criminal offences. It may b
  10. Being that you are a Tech grad, this response doesn't surprise me.
  11. Now that's when I want to go! Not really, kids that age get on my nerves real quick, in fact thinking about kids that age gets on my nerves. (not all kids, just most of em) GET OFF MY LAWN! (whew, I feel better)
  12. We all know the old joke about taking Playboy just for the articles, but for many years in the 70's and early 80's, I did take Playboy for the articles. Specifically I took it for the interviews. Playboy not only interviewed some of the most popular and influential people of the times, they usually used very good people to do the interviews. For example, Alex Haley (author of Roots) in the 1960's did several interviews for Playboy, including a wonderful one with George Lincoln Rockwell, the self-appointed fuhrer of the American Nazi Party. Now Playboy has published these interviews in a
  13. A baseball bat? Again I say, A baseball bat?? Thank you for posting this and thank you to those who are trying to bring some common sense back. (after all, common sense ain't that popular)
  14. I could be wrong (yeh I know, it's a long shot, but believe it or not, it has happened), but I do not think that our elected officials are just totally concerned with themselves and nothing else. Even when I disagree with how things have come about with the airport, I have a hard time believing that they are all, or most all of them, just trying do what will only help themselves or their cohorts. I would think if they were those type of people, then this would have shown it's self a long time before now. I do think that a lot of the issues that are currently going on with the airport can be
  15. Be very, very happy that you don't understand. Those who do truly understand usually do so because they themselves have been through the hell of addiction and survived. It is not a cheap or easy club to join, it takes a lot of time and money and quite often the admission price involves jails, prisons, mental hospitals and worse.
  16. I agree 100%, in fact 200%, that all people who use drugs and alcohol do so because they like the effect brought on by those substances. That is true for the casual user or drinker or those who are harder users and drinkers and those who are addicted. I was trying to explain why that effect is even stronger and more pronounced in those who become addicted and why they have a hard time stopping when the substance starts negatively affecting their lives. Just for the record and most people do not know this, Blondie's and my kidding (I think she was kidding) aside, more people die detoxing
  17. Here is a line from the movie Days of Wine and Roses, starring Jack Lemmon, Lee Remick and Jack Klugman. It says a lot. "When I look out this window sober, it's cheap and it's dirty and it's ugly. But when I look out drunk, it's beautiful." If that is the way you see the world and booze or drugs make what you see as ugly and unacceptable, beautiful and acceptable, what would you do? Apparently that meth and crack are so highly addicting, that those who may be have addiction issues, get hooked right away. Even more so than heroin. I told my kid that while I would prefer he never do
  18. We all got us some lazy pets, do we not.
