  1. how did the source copy end up on the internet? someone bought the book. so 100 people download it to read, or 100 people read the library copy.......same profit to the author
  2. ok just to make you happy i will no longer download books for free. i will get them from a library instead for free. i think your profit margin as an author remains the same either way, but perhaps i am wrong. of course that doesn't address the issue that i mentioned a book i just read (for free) to someone who actually went and bought a copy of the book. if i hadn't "pirated" the book they probably wouldn't have bought their copy
  3. can i bring my lawn chair? I'll buy the beer
  4. this is one of the problems with our country if the woman that you said displayed more than she should have, well if you have a daughter she will see something similar eventually. if you have a son, i would hope that he see them at some point in his life i guess this goes back to the pilgrims that founded this country, that were such extremist that they got chased out of 3 countries before they landed here unfortunately, some of their puritanical beliefs live on.
  5. anymore i read most new books on my android phone. most of the new "bestseller" books are available for free online if you know where to look. with the prices they are charging i just can not justify spending $30 for a new best seller that i am going to read in less than 2 days. it is very convenient to be able to have several books that can fit on your cell phone
  6. some of the best shows are on sunday nights the killing (amc) ......this is in season 2 so if you have not watched it you should see the previous episodes. game of thrones (hbo).....also in season 2 mad men (amc)...in season 5 the borgias (starz).... also in season 2
  7. sometimes it is the other way around. a 15 year old gets pregnant during the cuban missile crisis by being told that she should have sex because the world is going to end, and ends up with a kid. the father bails, never to be seen again, and the mother hates the kid for almost 50 years because of that. she didn't raise me, just dropped me off at her mothers, who ended up raising me. almost 50 years later, and i still try to get her acceptance\love........but all i get is bs when i call her i guess i remind her of her mistake, but was it really my fault? maybe the next holiday that come aro
  8. i hate mothers day. called my mom today, only because i thought i had to. every year i get reminded of the john lennon song mother "mother, you had me.........but i never had you" i almost wish she would die, just so i didn't have to deal with the depression i get after every holiday that i feel obligated to call her.......i know better, but call anyway just because i feel obligated. i should have wised up by now.
  9. when i was in collage back in the early eighties my major for the first two years was recreational chemistry seems like at least half if not more of the school had the same major times have changed
  10. breaking bad is an excellent tv series, but it is ending after this next season gus (Giancarlo Esposito) from breaking bad just got a new series called revolution that is filmed in atlanta. it will air on nbc this fall
  11. Lord I must be dreamin' What else could this be Everybody's screamin' Runnin' for the sea Holy lands are sinking Birds take to the sky The prophets all are stinkin' drunk I know the reason why Eyes are full of desire Mind is so ill at ease Everything is on fire sheeze piled up to the knees Out of RHYME or reason Everyone's to blame Children of the season Don't be lame Sorry You're so sorry Don't be sorry Man has known And now he's blown it Upside down And hell's the only sound We did an awful job And now they say It's Nobody's Fault Old SAN ANDREAS
  12. ok...never been to that one so can't comment. i originally thought you meant the one on merchants drive. sorry for the confusion on my part
  13. i can understand 5 guys burgers they are pretty good never been to boston sea party, so can't comment but baby janes is on the the top 5 restaurants you have ever been to? i'm hoping it is not the one in paulding county that you are refering to. unless you are ranking them on value for the dollar, and not "best" i doubt even the owners would rank them in the top 5 "best"
  14. if you are flying from the us mainland the majority of the flights are going to land at heathrow. the exceptions are some british airway flights that will land at gatwick
  15. i know.... i was rather disappointed with the derby. i should have bet bodemeister across the board instead of union rag, would have ended up making some money since he paid 7.80 to place and 5.60 to show the derby is always one of the hardest races to handicap, due to the size of the field. think a large part of the fault with my choices this year were due to the jockeys instead of the horse......union rag got caught in traffic, and the jockey on bodemeister rode him so hard to stay in the lead early that he had nothing left at the final turn. oh well.....watching the race is always
  16. i have mayweather at -700 and alvarez at -800......i bet heavy on both of these as they should be "gimmies" if they both win i'll still be up a little for the day but not much
  17. ouch..... union rags needs a new jockey, second race in a row where he got boxed in with nowhere to go:( like i said oh well, it's only money....and a still have a chance to get even on boxing
  18. bets placed (i'm not in georgia anymore so this is legal) pp3 take charge indy win pp4 union rags win place and show pp6 brodemiester win exacta box 346 in boxing: mayweather over cotto alverez over mosley the derby has me concerned with it being a sloppy track oh well it's only money
  19. the post office doesn't issue passports, the state department does. the only thing some post offices do is accept the paperwork. in fact you can't even submit the paperwork for a first time passport at the dallas or hiram post offices. the closest ones to paulding would be either acworth or powder springs.......however you can apply at the paulding county court house http://www.paulding....dex.aspx?NID=98 they do not accept any thing but a money order for payment
  20. it has to be certified (ie has a raised seal) http://travel.state.gov/passport/passport_5401.html
  21. best steak = prime at the bellagio in vegas best surf and turf = golden steer in las vegas....place has been open since the 50's is where the rat pack used to eat. great filet and lobster tail combo best pizza = pizza papalis in greektown, downtown detroit. best hot dogs = tony packos in toledo, original location on the east side only best hamburger = tie in-and-out burger all over the west coast, billy goat tavern on michigan ave in chicago best buffet = tie sterling brunch buffet at bally's in vegas, if only for the all you can eat king crab and lobster tails. this isn't ryans, but
  22. the thing that bothers me most is $87,000 spent to set up two dns servers for 8 months.. dns servers don't require much in the way of hardware, bandwidth, or setup time. maybe i should start bidding on federal contracts for next year, and just deal with the incredibly slow pay that is incurred with dealing with the government (ie net 30 becomes 270 or more)...... it might be worth it for these kind of profit margins
  23. in mexico they call it a bribe. in the us they call it a political action committee, a campaign contribution, or a "fact finding" trip same thing, just the mexicans are more honest about what it is
  24. with both dogs and myself in the yard it was very unlikely. coyotes are not stupid, and chances are they would have gone after the little "yapper" (i think it was a bischon frishe) next door that was left out all the time...i always felt sorry for that dog, it had little very little interaction with its owners....never could figure out why people get dogs, but don't seem to want the dog to be their companion...
