Really???

Have you seen the Majic 100 ad on TV?   The girl says she loves her job.  It's low pay, long hours, no vacation but they only get Majic100 on the radio so it's the best job ever and she loves her job.  Really?  Every time it comes on I promise myself I will never listen to that radio station.  What a dumb commercial. Irritates the hell out of me every time I see it.  

BRB.  Gotta go and refresh the coffee.

There is nothing like a fresh, hot cup of coffee.   Today it is raining, damp and cold.  I turned the heat on in my studio/office.  These old bones just don't like the chill.

Enough for this morning.  I leave you with a quote from Oscar Wilde:

"The only thing that ever consoles man for the stupid things he does is the praise he always gives himself for doing them."

Chocolate Bits... Who are they kidding?

According to Kellog's Special K Cereal commercials if I am craving chocolate at 9pm I am going to go to the cupboard and get a bowl of cereal with chocolate chunks in it and be happy. Who the blazes are these people?
If I am craving chocolate at ANY TIME you can bet your bippy I am NOT going to go and get a bowel of cereal no matter how "chocolatey" it is supposed to be. I am going to get dressed, drive to the nearest Mac's and get a big, huge, chocolate BAR. And I am going to eat the whole bar. Probably I would buy extras so I wouldn't have do run out in the night again.

For all of you folks who like chocolate... would you be happy with chocolate bits in your cereal in place of your fave bar? So far I haven't come across anyone who wouldn't prefer the bar. Leave me a note and let me know.



Yahoo Groups that Die

Today I went searching for a group to join.. well several actually. I did join a few and after joining I found out that they were all spam and had been for months or even years in some cases.

These groups had DIED slow horrible deaths. So, when the moderators/owners of these groups saw the writing on the wall, why on earth didn't they delete the groups so people who search for groups wouldn't waste their time on this garbage.

After searching through pages and pages of groups, you finally find one you want to join and bang... it's crap.

After these groups die, why doesn't yahoo wipe them out so the names can be reused or so people don't get fooled into joining what looks like a live group.


GRRRRRRRRR I hate that!!

Just visiting... and ranting

I am dog/cat/house/kid sitting for the long weekend. I'm here in beeeeuuuutiful Martintown, Ontario. The weather is good, so far it hasn't rained, shopping is close and I am free, free, free!! Yes!

This afternoon I visited a friend in McQuaig's Corners and then headed on to Cornwall to get cat food at Wally World. (Wal-Mart). Man was it busy. You would've thought that it was the day before Christmas. Line ups, no parking, kids and parents in less than good humour. Sheesh! Needless to say I got my cat food and skeddadled out of there. I did, however meet my neighbours from up Chesterville way while I was in there. Folks you barely see at home you always seem to meet at either Mike Dean's or Wal-Mart.

I spent the better part of today thinking about how badly I need a job of some sort so I can crawl out of debt. Trouble is my back gives me so much trouble that I am a terribly unreliable type of employee. By times I'm an unreliable volunteer. I hate that too especially when other people are depending on me. Over the past couple of years I have learned not to take on anything or make promises to go anywhere. I never know what the day will bring until my feet have hit the floor. After walking around today I am suffering greatly for it now.

I'm thinking that working online would be awesome but how do you actually find those types of jobs? I have searched and researched and come up empty most of the time.

Anyhow.... a couch and a pain killer are calling my name so I shall sign off for now and leave you with a quote from Mother Theresa:

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls.
