I have this amazing love for doritos...but if they would only make them cheesier :-\ I would be insanely in love with them.
-
Did anybody know that on the back of a Kit Kat there are instructions on how to open a Kit Kat???
-
You're right: I really don't care about Kit Kats. :-\
However.... I LOVE me some Doritos and I totally agree they need to make them cheesier! I always skip past the ones that aren't cheesy enough. They go great on a sandwich, though. ;D
-
yall need help

Have you ever bought a can of Coke?
They have a 1800 number on the side of the can. I called it once.

I remember the only thing that surprised me when I met you, was the family sized bag of Doritos you carried around in the car. :D

Excuse me ma'am if you're not going to contribute to the thread, please step to the rear!! >:(
It wasn't family size! LOL! It was like the $3.99 bag! And didn't you and NJ eat up all my Cheez-It Party Mix that weekend? MmmmmmHmm. I forgets nothing when it comes to food! :D

I was going to mention the Cheez-Its too, but I couldn't remember if they were yours or Jerod's. It just cracked me up, you didn't strike me as a snacker before that.

i like to sleep

i like to sleep
Me too...
-
People who know me well know that my favorite 2 things to do are sleep and eat. ;D
-
Believe it not, I hate both sleeping and eating. If I could survive without doing either, I would.
-
Maybe I should say I hate having to take time to sleep and eat. I just hate wasting time, period.
-
Well, not "hate, because food is good...but you know. I wish I could live off of one hour of sleep. Just enough time to have one of my wacky dreams.
-
Actually, what I think I'm trying to say is I hate the "decay" of sleeping and eating. How, no matter how good the food is or how much you eat, it's never going to fill you up. So it's like pouring water into a bottomless pit. Same for sleeping. 8 hours out of 24 is a heck of a long time...and I have to do that every night? It all seems so futile.
Yeah, I think that's what I'm trying to say.

Since the topic has shifted from food to dreams...
;)
Had this dream the other night - that we had lots of musicians joining the praise team - so many guitars, bass, singers, horn players that we were running out of room on the stage.
Only thing was that we had no music for the horn players, only chord charts...nightmare!

I stayed home from work today. I've been laying in bed eating black cake and Vitamin C drops. Too weak to get up and prepare my TheraFlu.
I once got like $20 worth of free yogurt bc my aunt told me to call them to complain about the leaf attached to my strawberry. Now, I always call when something is wrong. I like free stuff.

CS: Kinda mad, maybe a bit frustrated.
In one of my classes, there are 14 people. I'm one of 4 who speaks perfect or near-perfect English and uses proper grammar 99% of the time or better. I'm not brilliant by any account, but if I had to rank everyone in class, I would place myself in the top 5 students in the class. Those 4 of us who use correct English are usually the ones who get the most replies to our assignments and get all the "well said" replies.
So WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY does this professor (who, by the way, DOESN'T USE PROPER ENGLISH and always has spelling, syntax, grammatical, and typographical errors) keep giving me a 23 out of 25?? Ugh. I'm getting annoyed. His syllabus says that we'll be graded on answering each part of each question, replying to at least 2 posts, grammar and spelling, content, posted on time, and at least 150 words. I do all that. Each week. And he keeps giving me a 23. That's a 92, which is NOT a 4.0. Furthermore, if I'm getting a 23, what on earth are these other folks getting?
-
you sound like a jewish kid. lol
Have you asked him what you can do to improve your grades?
-
I haven't. I thought about it after the first 23. Then last week, he gave me another 23 and I'm like... WTHeck???? I really feel like going off on him because I'm already not happy to have someone with poor grammar grading me on my grammar. But yeah, I'll ask him....

It's actually Five Star Marketing Solutions. I support them because they do excellent work and they are Christian-owned.
Come to think of it, I know of another phenomenal designer, who is NY-based and Christian. I forget the name of his company, but he does a lot of work for a lot of big wigs and his stuff is TOP NOTCH for real. I can't remember the name of the company, but I can inbox you his name and you can find him on FB if you want.

Hmmmm really?? I'll send an inbox and see if I can find out what the problem is.
I remember years ago when I was having my site built, I found a designer through another church. He had done their site, and when I looked at his website, I learned that he had done lots of high-profile church sites. Since my target audience was the church community, I thought he'd be perfect. I paid $6000 and it came out nice, but I did almost all the work. I didn't know anything abt web design so I pretty much got had. :D Well not really, but still.....

WOW, a thread about not caring actually making people post stuff they care about the most. Very interesting!!! :D

That awkward moment when your post can really fit in more than one thread.... :-[
Anyway, this isn't a snobby post, but it really just crossed my mind. I think it's very sad that many black women don't feel pretty/sexy/beautiful without having their hair relaxer-straight. That's really sad to me.

Ummm, so I assumed I must've left my textbook at work. That's really the only reason I came in today. I got here and my textbook isn't here. I KNOWWWW I didn't lose that textbook. I knowwwwwwww I didn't.

I think that's really unfair. And it's demotivating me. Which is quite ironic since this week, in my other class, we're discussing intrinsic vs extrinsic motivators. A 4.0 should be given to any student who fulfills the requirements. If it will take MORE than that to get an A, they should tell you exactly what it takes. >:(
Again? Dang. I remember how happy you were to get the last set off. Sorry to hear....I mean....nobody really cares!
Yep, again. The retainer was optional, but it turns out it really wasn't optional. :D My teeth shifted slightly and one of them, I call it the wayward tooth, shifted noticeably. Thanks for not caring. :)

You already got an A, you are looking for an A+. You might have to do something extra for that +. Some Professors are just old school like that.

Today in class, one of my classmates said "Mark Twain once said 'the lack of money is the root of all evil.'" I was about to go IN on her, but something told me to google it first. I did, and I found that Mark Twain DID say that. What in the world??? Was he misquoting the Bible? Or was that intentional? Either way, booooooo on him for trying to change up the Word. The lack of money isn't the root of ALL evil. That's almost the opposite of what the Word says.

Depends on how you look at it. When some people have no money and they're desperate, they will do anything to get it. When you have money you don't have to do crazy or evil things to get it. I don't think that contradicts the word. :-\
-
It does bc he's saying the LACK is the ROOT. God said the LOVE is the root. It can't be both.
OAN, I just watched a video and thought about you. I would give you the link, but I like you too much to bore you like that. It was a 2 hour lecture from Stanford University on Darwinism (it was a required lecture for class). Anyway, they talked about the eugenics movement and Margaret Sanger and how Darwin wanted to purify the population by getting rid of all the weak links. It was SOOOO interesting (after I finally got past the lady's boring voice). It was everything you're always preaching about. LOL. Oh and she talked about how Darwin and them wanted to sterilize the unfit and kill them off and encourage the fit to be fruitful and multiply. Very interesting stuff. You're not as nutty as I thought you were. :D
-
Yeah, Twain was a satirist. So, his statement may very well have been tongue in cheek. I'd like to see the context though.
-
I really dislike the Sunday bathroom routine in my house. I think I'm going to find an online sermon today because I'm not walking into church this late.

Wasn't Mark Twain an atheist, though? If so, I can see why he'd, intentionally, misquote the Bible.

We are having a "Super Soul" sunday next week and we get to wear our favorite team shirts (pro or college). Since my pastor is a huge Miami Hurricanes fan and I'm a huge Florida State fan, in church he says that anything that says FSU is unholy.
So I ask the drummer to play the drum portion of the tomahawk chant and I play the melody. Pastor couldn't do anything but laugh.

Lesson learned, eh?

Ordinarily, the braces that eat up your mouth are the ones on the side. For some reason, the bracket on my front, right tooth is tearing my mouth up... so I gotta put wax on it... so I'm gonna be walking around for the rest of the day with wax on my tooth. Great.

My lease is up next month and they want me to pay way too much for me to buy it. After paying the over mileage fees I'll have very little to spend on another car. I'm trying not to have any more car payments, but I might have to finance something that I can pay off quickly. :-\

CS: Kinda mad, maybe a bit frustrated.
In one of my classes, there are 14 people. I'm one of 4 who speaks perfect or near-perfect English and uses proper grammar 99% of the time or better. I'm not brilliant by any account, but if I had to rank everyone in class, I would place myself in the top 5 students in the class. Those 4 of us who use correct English are usually the ones who get the most replies to our assignments and get all the "well said" replies.
So WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYY does this professor (who, by the way, DOESN'T USE PROPER ENGLISH and always has spelling, syntax, grammatical, and typographical errors) keep giving me a 23 out of 25?? Ugh. I'm getting annoyed. His syllabus says that we'll be graded on answering each part of each question, replying to at least 2 posts, grammar and spelling, content, posted on time, and at least 150 words. I do all that. Each week. And he keeps giving me a 23. That's a 92, which is NOT a 4.0. Furthermore, if I'm getting a 23, what on earth are these other folks getting?
you sound like a jewish kid. lol
Have you asked him what you can do to improve your grades?
I haven't. I thought about it after the first 23. Then last week, he gave me another 23 and I'm like... WTHeck???? I really feel like going off on him because I'm already not happy to have someone with poor grammar grading me on my grammar. But yeah, I'll ask him....
So for last week, I got a 22 out of 25, which is a 90 average...
I finally sent him that "WTHeck, sir" e-mail.
>:(

good idea. I should also register it there at my Grandma's address and pay less insurance. :-\
-

I don't recommend that because of the integrity factor, but before my sister moved from NY to GA, she had her car registered at my grandmother's address in NC. She paid SO. MUCH. LESS than she would've in NY.
Then she got to GA and paid even less, but cried when she got that first ad valoreum tax statement in the mail. GA has cheap insurance but that doggone registration will cause you to sell your firstborn child just to pay a fraction of it... and still have to take a side job to pay the rest.

Just had that Friday night. My friend bought the salsa con queso (which is what it's actually called) just for ME!
On a sad note, I couldn't enjoy it because the Doritos were too crunchy for my still-tender teeth. I had to suck on Cheez-Its instead. :'(

But if you really want a bomb combination (but as unhealthy as they come), try flaming hot cheetos dipped in cream cheese. Man! That is the stuff right there.

Having a dilemma. It was tough to decide which thread to post it in, but since nobody may care, I chose this one.
Back when I was on my three year hiatus from my church, I was a member of a church that was outside of our jurisdiction. So when the national church decided to grant our official jurisdictional status, and they began to set up auxillaries and departments, I was not a member and could not be appointed. That's cool, I wasn't looking for an office in the jurisdiction anyway. However, when I returned, people began asking me more often (I did a lot while I was outside the jurisdiction anyway) to do publications for them. The lady that was appointed over jurisdictional public relations (mind you, it's not the same thing, but she thinks publications come under her), started doing little things to get at me, and apparently thought that all publications should come through her. Fine. I was cool with that. Then she started attacking me publicly and trying to tear down my work, etc. That's when I backed off, and let her do what she does. BUT... she's not very good at designing publications. AND her grammar is poor, to boot. Add to that, she is very sensitive and easily offended if someone says her work is not what they want or that they will require her to return to the drawing board and try again. It's been an uncomfortable situation for me, because while I don't like to promote myself above others or act like I'm better or whatever, I know that I can do a great job if given the opportunity and freedom to flow creatively. I would work under her happily if she didn't attack me like she has in the past.
So anyway, I got a text today from a friend who is on the conference committee who basically commissions a large part of the design work. She was basically begging me to help out, and saying it's not fair that I am able to do advanced work for others and my own jurisdiction puts out crappy stuff. I agree, but I don't know how to fix that. I told her I'm willing to help and perform any tasks I'm assigned, but I feel like it's up to them and the general leadership to reign this chick in. I shouldn't have to stand up to her and then look like the bad guy while they all look scared to say anything to her.
Anyway, yeah... pray for me... and her... and all involved. Even if you don't care, lol.

From a 'nobody' - yes, church politics bite. It's like if you're sitting in the congregation with a poor musician in charge, mishmashing the chords, ruining the beat with poor timing, throwing off other musicians, singers and miscuing the choir. And all because they have some 'in' with the leadership, maybe being the pastor's friend or family. Sad.
I pray that God gives wisdom, courage and clarity to the Powers that be in your situation...

Y'all may not believe this (or care), but this is a TESTIMONY!
So I have these cute boots that are heels (those that know me know I don't dabble in heels too much) that I wore to work once, and by the end of the day my feet were hurting so bad. I bought some insoles but that didn't do too much. So today, I needed to wear them because I didn't have any stockings without horrendous runs, lol. I put on socks and the insoles and everything was okay, except the side was rubbing the MESS out of my right pinky toe. That toe hurts in all of my shoes, even flats, but these boots were making it unbearable. So I prayed. I asked God to touch my poor little toe so that I can walk and do what I need to do. He DID that thang! I'm walking around like a diva, lol.

It's a local bakery here in Warner Robins, GA. "Wilson Bakery". It was pretty good...even had the cream cheese frosting on it.
But it still doesn't compare to red velvet cake...but it's definitely closing the gap 8)

I think I'll give the edge to my ping pong game. I used to have this serve that would curve to the edge of the table. It was very hard to return. Cats I played against all had crazy serves.
An outing of that nature sounds great. Bowling was a blast that time we all went! Speaking of outings/get-togethers, I'd like to do one in Philly. Cheetarah wants to kick my butt. So, I figured I give her a chance in her/Rocky's turf. :D

I've done the grilling for my son's high school football team for the past 3 years. Older customers tend to not mind having their dogs blackened. On the other hand, the younger customers frown upon the presence of all colors on their dawgs. This may be traced back to the days of bologna when black around the edges was preferred and almost required. Thus a taste for the black was acquired. The preceding statements are pure speculation of course.
Lawd, fry that bologna just right with a slice of Ronald Regan Government Cheese and it was onnnnnnnnn. :D :D

rediscovered that i have two electric motors in my basement ... not sure what to do with them
thought maybe i should modify one of those kid power wheels
(http://images.malaysiaminilover.com/mini-cars/fordmustangstyle.jpg)
swap out the motors ... install a new battery and some super grippy rubber tires and go race some kid on a bicycle ... i can never find a kid (and parent) who can drive it though
otherwise i was going to turn it into a genarator and connect it to the tv for my family to watch tv we have to pedal... maybe i can do that to my router LOL since i'm on the internet more than i watch tv

I am going to buy a tv. It's been 3 years since I've had one.
It started with me keeping up with Grey's Anatomy and Desperate Housewives on ABC.com.
Then, I started watching 48 Hours: Hard Evidence and Dateline on ID on YouTube.
Last night, I watched several episodes of Frasier.
I'm figuring, I can no longer say "I don't watch TV" so I may as well go ahead and buy one. *shrug*
-
This might make me gay, but I like girls scout cookies...............................
Yes, liking girl scout cookies is the same as liking people of the same gender, so yes, you are gay.

It WAS hilarious. I promise you when I first saw it and wondered if that's what had happened, I couldn't stop laughing. But that's bc I thought it was like a prank/joke.
IF it wasn't a prank but a matter of someone looking at a thread saying "I don't care and I don't think anyone else does either, so I'll move it since I'm able to," then I think it was mean. Maybe still funny, but also mean. Btjm. :)

It started with Denny's, they have a shake with bacon sprinkles on top and apparently it's good. I wouldn't try that. Even if it is good, who the heck needs to find out something that does you no good and a bunch of harm is tasty and add it to stuff you like that you don't need? :D :D :D

But the "Stuff" Jamaican Moms Say is doggone HILARIOUS!!!!!
-
My wife just told me that Jack in the Box has a Bacon-flavored milkshake. She says it has 1800 calories. I love bacon and all, but yikes!
First of all, who wants a Bacon-flavored milkshake? I LOVE bacon. Probably too much...but a bacon-flavored MILKSHAKE?!?!?!
Secondly, 1800 calories in a SHAKE is just obscene. Even as a cheat meal I wouldn't do that. It's probably loaded with sugar and saturated fat.

I didn't find it particularly funny.
Maybe cu I could barely understand what was being said.

Uhhh yeah. Perhaps I should've made it a bit MORE clear than the title implies: the "Stuff" Jamaican Moms Say is doggone HILARIOUS to Jamaicans!!!!!

Chocolate-covered bacon - gross-sounding, but surprisingly good...

I almost ran over a rat dog last night..what type a parent lets a small dog like that run the streets? He did kinda give me the stank face when I swurved..maybe he was a rebellious fella..IDK

You know, for me, nothing beats the Great Value brand. Man, they have killer flavors and they all taste so real. One of the red ones tastes just like red Kool-Aid, lol.

So for last week, I got a 22 out of 25, which is a 90 average...
I finally sent him that "WTHeck, sir" e-mail.
>:(
So I finally got a 25 out of 25, and really didn't do anything differently. I guess the e-mail did it?
-
It started with Denny's, they have a shake with bacon sprinkles on top and apparently it's good. I wouldn't try that. Even if it is good, who the heck needs to find out something that does you know good and a bunch of harm is tasty and add it to stuff you like that you don't need? :D :D :D
Wait, whut?

Well that's encouraging! I'm praying for a good outcome. I need at least a 95 but I'd love to have a 96.
On second thought, I think the papers are graded on a letter scale, not numbers, so I need an A, period.

So the coat room I was working in gets slow and after being on my feet all day I decide to sit down and talk to my co-voluenteer for a hot second. About 2 sentences in to the conversation, this person, with a leadership position, comes in and sees a big, young, black woman and a bigger, older black man sitting in the back of the room and two older, skinny white man and woman standing and waiting for customers. That combined with the fact that this woman really doesn't like me made her bust out laughing. The next time she saw me it was to ask me when I'd be in tomorrow, and she had a terrible time containing her laughter. Even though this made me dislike her even more it reminds me that I need to be aware of the scene around me so that if someone with some pull walks in, stereotypes can't be applied to me. (ADD ON: This was supposed to be in the CS thread but I don't feel like moving it cause I'm on my phone)

I had a great workout, took a shower, and went to get dressed only to realize...I left my dress shoes at home.
So now I'm at work wearing my white Banana Republic shirt, my navy Brooks Brothers slacks, and my old beat-up gym sneakers looking a proper fool. :D :D :D

You ever have a dream where you made a statement and when you woke up you thought it was the most profound saying ever? And then when you REALLY wake up, you can't even remember what it was about? I had that last night. The statement was something like:

@ the gym?? Nah, I really don't think I would care. I don't go to the gym, but if I did, I don't think I would really care about looking cute there (outside of having on a cute outfit). Idk. Maybe I'll feel differently after actually going to the gym.
Okay, on second thought, let me edit that. It would bother me, but not enough to make me turn around and go back home after I'd already gotten there.

From Layla's List of Things I'm Ashamed to Admit:

Not anymore. :D
I do white K-Swiss classics now... but my next pair will probably be the white Reebok Classics. Can't go wrong with those. All the other ones, I have to worry about whether they're "in style" or not. I can't do all that. I don't keep up with these 20-somethings.... :D

I'd find some no-name Mozzarella before using Kraft...and I like their White American cheese.

I didn't know any better. We always use Kraft, so I never would have thought not to. I didn't even know Kraft had a bad rap like that, considering they're the only cheese brand I've ever seen with ads on TV. I know better now, though. We fall down and we get up.
Don't get it twisted, we only used Kraft in my house back in the day, too for grilled cheese and other sandwiches. Still do, in fact (only because Sargento doesn't come individually wrapped).

I am eating Cheez-Its.

When I eat them at home, I lay them flat on a baking sheet and place them in a 400 degree oven to brown. Sometimes, I spray them with Pam before baking them.

Also, I'm kinda depressed that high-waisted pants are coming back in.

I bought a Jack LaLanne Power Juicer on Saturday. So far, I'm absolutely thrilled. I still will probably end up getting the HealthMaster in the longrun, though, because it keeps the whole fruit/vegetable in the drink so the fiber's not thrown out. And the Power Juicer doesn't do bananas.

I'm thinking about leaving now and coming back tomorrow morning. I really don't want to wait for this project to finnish exporting for another hour. There's going to be a guest doc speaker at my school at 6 and I'd rather be bored doing that than bored here next to Miss Sicky. Then again at this point I'm just goin to walk in late so what's the point?

I don't think everyone's "activates" at the same time. Some have had it for a while. Mine just switched, and I hate it. It's TOTALLY reversed. Everything that was on the left is now on the right and vice versa.

I went to the movies last night.
That's pretty huge, considering I've been to the movie theater a total of 3 times, including yesterday, in the past 7 years. :)
I saw Safe House.
OAN, I saw a preview for another Bourne movie, but I didn't see Matt Damon in it. Any insight?

Yes, the new Bourne movie is going to be the HOTNESS with Jeremy Renner.
They're rebooting the franchise with a new (read: younger) actor. I think it'll work. It's akin to Sony rebooting the 'Spider-man' franchise.
Wait, you saw 'Safe House'? You're either a Denzel fan or it was Valentine's Day.

IRT Bourne, I guess I'll take your word for it. I hate action movies, but I fell in love with Bourne. I can't imagine liking it without Matt Damon, but like I said, I'll take your word for it. Still feeling some kinda way about that, though...
IRT Safe House, a little of both, but mostly the fact that I didn't pick the movie. :D Since I don't watch TV, I never know what's playing or what's out or what's hot. I had never even heard of Safe House (or any other current movie). It was far too action-y for me, but I liked it enough. About 2 hours after the movie ended, I crawled into bed with my chest still pounding, and breathing uneven. I don't like that feeling. Denzel was good in the movie, though. The other guy (Matt Weston was the character's name, don't know his real name) was really good, too.

Yes, if you like predictable action movies and car chases for no particular reason.
Movies are supposed to entertain, and 'Safe House' delivers in that regard.
Don't know if I'd take the wife unless she likes action movies or loves you that much.

Yeah, I totally didn't understand the purpose of those car chases. I hate car chases anyway... no matter how good the movie, I don't understand how they never get a flat tire. *shrug*
And there were definitely a few predictable moments, even for a non-movie person like me. I figured out who the bad guy was from that person's first scene. I knew what would happen when they went to get the backpack from the locker. There was another scene I predicted but I can't figure out how to de-spoiler it... lol. The gf/train station scene was unrealistic. Or maybe that's just the black chick in me. It would NOT have gone down like that with me. The only thing that genuinely shocked me was finding out who the enemies were. That was like "oh snap, for real???" LOL (but even that was probably predictable for a movie-head).

RE RR, they're trying to put him in roles other than his typical rom-com schtick. So far, it's passable.
As for the movie, yea, any movie-head was not surprised by any of that stuff either.
RE Matt Damon, did you like him before the 'Bourne' movies? If so, I can understand why you'd be hesitant to like any future movies without him. But, I think Renner will be just fine.

Wifey and I ended up seeing that movie last night too. I enjoyed it. Yes, it had its predictable moments, but what movie doesn't nowadays? I also saw the Bourne preview and was going to post about it this morning. Looking forward to that. That movie "Battleship" intrigues me as well.
What's funny, though, is we chose to go to the theater that was near where we ate. It's one of those neighborhood theaters, so we knew it wouldn't be like our normal movie-going experience. I should have seen the warning signs....
1. The tickets were only $14...Total! I couldn't believe it!
2. After purchasing the tickets, my "stubs" were these thin paper receipts.
3. There was no ticket taker. Shoot, there wasn't even a place for a ticket-taker.
4. The theater had that old building smell...
5. Though we ate prior to the movie, it's kinda tradition for us to get popcorn, so I stood in a long line for popcorn. There was only ONE concession line. Dude had a cash register, but was using a calculator to run up the totals! At first, he was trying to calculate in his head. He ends up giving the person (6 people ahead of me) MORE change than they were supposed to get. He gets kinda flustered, apologizes profusely to everyone in line and leaves the counter (presumably, to get a manager), leaving the incorrect change on the counter...
I got out of line. I was full anyway.
We go inside the theater, and we choose two of the 5 newer seats. (The row behind us had missing seats). The previews start, and I'm amazed at how antique this theater really is. Remember the times before surround sound and HD? Yeah, this theater was stuck in those times. Shoot, it still had the original paint and carpet from those times!
So, we're enjoying the movie, and suddenly I start smelling weed! Yes, weed! I look around and can't see smoke or anyone puffing. The smell dies down a bit, and then a little later, I smell it again. It smelled more like someone just smoked it and came into the theater, but I wouldn't be surprised if they were smoking it IN the theater.
Wifey and I got a good laugh out of the whole experience. Needless to say, I won't be going to that theater again- no matter how cheap the tickets are!

Oooh sorry guys. Thanks for caring, though. :) It really does suck, but that's the company I work for. I've seen them fire/lay off people a year before their retirement. I've seen them replace someone before even firing them (literally a new lady started before they had even let the old lady go). Over the past 3 years, I've seen them fire/forcibly retire the only 3 Black executives in the company. We have offices in 63 countries and 50 US states, and hundreds of officers, including about 50 corporate officers, and only 3 WERE Black... now there are 0. Even our offices in Africa are headed by white execs. They've been on a salary freeze for 5 years, but keep reporting "record profits." They do RIFs every single December (right before Christmas, of course), and then in January, replace all those people with younger, lower salaried people, or change job descriptions so that one person now does the job of two. This is my company. Nothing here surprises me.
OAN, Bangladesh????? You guys gonna just let that one go???

Apparently, I'm the only one (around here) who is angered by that. My bff/co-worker laughed at me. I'm truly devastated. Our help desk sucks as it is (except for my two friends), and they speak English with no accents. Can you imagine how sucky it'll be to try to get help from someone who (a) doesn't know the company, (b) doesn't speak clear English, (c) UGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH GOD PLEASE HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!

Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I really don't care how bright and hardworking they are if I can't understand their English. I'm sorry, but Indians have very thick accents, and help desk support is not an area where you need more hindrances to problem resolution.
But whatever... this country is going to hades and most folks really don't care anyway. One thing I loved about President Obama's SOTU address is that he mentioned wanting to heavily tax those companies who take their business outside of the country to save on labor. I agree with him, but I doubt it'll ever get done since there doesn't seem to be an urgency on anyone's part.

Did you think I was giving them an endorsement? :D
A few of them (5 of the 50+) are great (with excellent english to boot). Bright, reliable, hardworkers.
The rest give me nightmares. Overall I'm not satisfied with them.

I guess I just wanted to eliminate the positive tone from your post. :D
Seriously though, I'm so angry about this. I remember when I used to have Sprint, any time I called, I'd get an Indian. After that one time I got so frustrated that I yelled at them, I stopped speaking to them at all. Whenever I would call, as soon as they answer, I'd insist on talking to a supervisor (bc they tend to be American or at least don't have heavy accents). They would try to get the gist and I would completely refuse to cooperate at all, and just insist on talking to a supervisor. Once in a blue moon, I get an Indian at T-Mobile, and I do the same thing. I just refuse to even try because I know I won't understand them. I'm sorry, but it is what it is.

Seriously though, I'm so angry about this. I remember when I used to have Sprint, any time I called, I'd get an Indian. After that one time I got so frustrated that I yelled at them, I stopped speaking to them at all. Whenever I would call, as soon as they answer, I'd insist on talking to a supervisor (bc they tend to be American or at least don't have heavy accents). They would try to get the gist and I would completely refuse to cooperate at all, and just insist on talking to a supervisor. Once in a blue moon, I get an Indian at T-Mobile, and I do the same thing. I just refuse to even try because I know I won't understand them. I'm sorry, but it is what it is.
Yep.
-
Not to be a Debbie Downer, but I really don't care how bright and hardworking they are if I can't understand their English. I'm sorry, but Indians have very thick accents, and help desk support is not an area where you need more hindrances to problem resolution.
But whatever... this country is going to hades and most folks really don't care anyway. One thing I loved about President Obama's SOTU address is that he mentioned wanting to heavily tax those companies who take their business outside of the country to save on labor. I agree with him, but I doubt it'll ever get done since there doesn't seem to be an urgency on anyone's part.
I think thats partly because most of them already have ties to those outsourced companies. I doubt anyone is eagerly ready to tax their own money. :-\

Actually, Fenix et al., I don't hate accents. I am slightly hearing impaired, and I hate Indian accents. Not sure if the two are related, but I suspect they are. Indian accents are harder FOR ME to understand, and not being able to hear well doesn't make things easier. I do not have that problem with most other accents.
*shrug*
Whatever.

Ummm,
1. I'm happy for Kobe and Vanessa. I really hope they work it out.
2. If I were close friends with him, I would advise him to feed her some line about wanting to start afresh. Get a quickie divorce, slip her a mickey, force her to sign a prenup, and then marry her again.
3. I'm partially joking on #2.
4. I do not delight in sharpshooting. That's really TJ and SJ, and sometimes Nessa (but she only does it when she finds it funny). Yes, I am a member of the Sharpshooters, but that is not by choice. I cannot help who God made me.

I've had a headache all day. About 30 minutes ago, I finally decided to take something for it. I popped 2 pills, and one of the two pills goes down incorrectly and I start to cough. In doing so, it got lodged in my nasal passage. Talk about burning!!!! After about 10 minutes, I was able to sneeze it out. The blue coating that was on it was gone. LOL

I just got back from visiting my Mommy in NC. She made me a sweet potato pie to take home with me. She made the pie filling, froze it, and then gave it to me to bake when I got back home. I just took it out of the oven. You'd have to know me to know how very happy that made me. I declare it's the little things.

My pastor told a familiar story that I've heard him tell a few times, but at this stage in my spiritual maturity it really struck a chord with me. Then again, nobody may care, so I'm posting it here:
He was a newly saved young guy who had a literal, palpable encounter with God in his apartment (that's a powerful story, but a whole other story as well, lol). He was working near his apartment and the job site didn't have a restroom. One of his co-workers asked him if he could use the restroom at his apartment. He brought him home and allowed him to use the restroom. At the end of the work day, he came home and went to wash his face, and reached for his towel, still neatly folded next to the sink. As he dried his face he noticed (this is the understatement of the year, btw) that his co-worker had apparently wiped himself with the towel, and folded it back on the rack so that what he had done wasn't visible.
My pastor was a young, big guy in his twenties, but the change that took place when he got saved was so evident that his roomate knew he would not retaliate. He said his roomate cried when he saw what had happened and begged him to allow him to go handle this guy. My pastor told him that if he gave him permission to hurt the guy, it would be just as bad as if he had done it himself.
The guy was scared and trembling the next day when he calmly asked him about why he would do such a thing, and he never got an explanation. He forgave the guy and never treated him any differently. I've failed some tests in my day, and just thinking about that situation, I know for a fact I would've failed as a brand new christian and can't guarantee that right now, twelve years in, that I would be able to pass that one. Good grief. If there's a place in the Lord where that's possible, I definitely want to get there. I don't know if I want to be tested like that in order to know when I've arrived, though.

Yeah, I was thinking he was definitely on assignment. My pastor said God brought him through that because he knew the kind of senseless evil he would encounter IN the church. My pastor can shrug off just about anything and keep on loving the person.
-
This is really one of the things that scares me about being in church leadership. You will see and experience ALL sorts of seemingly senseless nonsense from people.
On a side note, Prov 18:19 is really convicting me this past week. We really do have to learn to respond in love to people who have annoyed or vexed us in some way.

Hey, I'm going to screenshot that short exchange about George W. Carver being ahead of his time and post it elsewhere. Do I need to censor anyone's avatar or username or anything? Or does anybody care?
NRC, but, IIRC, George W. Carver's middle name is W. He added the initial to his name so his signature would look more official. People just assumed it stood for Washington, but it doesn't actually stand for anything.

I just counseled a soldier for getting arrested for popping his 6 year old in the mouth for yelling and screaming throwing a tantrum in the middle of Wal-Mart.. a bystander called the police and then pretty much barracaded him in the store so he couldn't leave until the cops showed up.
I hated counseling him because I would have popped my kid in the mouth too..I mean shucks he didn't draw blood..to me no harm done, bet that kid think twice next time..

Haha! My friend's mom popped her nephew in the mouth in the checkout line at shopko. He was like fourteen, though. He looked at the cashier like she was going to say something, and she said, "I bet you'll think twice next time you wanna get smart" LOL!!!
I told her she should be careful, though, because her husband was a senator at that time, and the media would have a field day with that one. Kids are just really disrespectful, and I think sometimes a good swat is in order. My dad used to slap us in the face once in a while, but my current pastor said that he would never hit his kids in the face because there's a humiliation factor that isn't really necessary. He said that's what the backside is for. I agree.

WHAT 14 --- AWWWW HECK NO!!! They would deff be getting a fist to the face!!!

The new cast of 'DWTS' has been announced:
Actor and singer Jack Wagner
Actress Melissa Gilbert
NFL pro Donald Driver
Actor Jaleel White
Telenovela actor William Levy
TV personality Sherri Shepherd
Opera singer Katherine Jenkins
Singer Gavin DeGraw
Tennis legend Martina Navratilova
TV host Maria Menounos
Singing legend Gladys Knight
Disney star Roshon Fegan
I believe Jaleel White or Maria Menounos will win.
If Roshon doesn't win it, he'll certainly be in the top three.
-
If Roshon doesn't win it, he'll certainly be in the top three.
Who dat? Googling Roshon Fegan
I hope Gladys don't throw out her hip, this aint the 70's.
Martina is up there in age too but should be okay due to her athletic background. She may struggle with the feminine stuff though.
Jaleel should do good. I don't know this Menounos woman but her name sounds like she is Hispanic plus she's probably young and energetic enough to get it done.
Seems like DWTS is missing that big personality this year or perhaps that star that makes you say, "I just gotta see how they are going to do".
-
Wait, how did the guy barricade your soldier in the store??? How exactly did that work?

NRC but I thought I'd post the audio of the praise break we had at my church this past Sunday. The part that really caught my attention was the music at 'round about the 2:24 mark.

T'was good. "It's yo duty to praise him"!!!! They just slipped that in there at the end. It fit and seemed effortless. Praise the Lord for good musicians. You people work wonders.

I hear ya. Pastor noticed that the ushers were doing more of "trying to keep order" instead of shouting. So he let everybody "off duty" and the church just went smooooove IN! Poor teenage brotha in the front almost got bulldozed by his mom.
But when I heard that at the end...I couldn't help but stop and ask "Did Julius really do what I think he just did?" LOL! I love our musicians!

Basically stood at the door and blocked him and tried to fight him.

Wal-Mart doors are so wide, it seems like your boy could've tucked his kid under his arm, stiff-armed that joka, and spun the other way. He'd be in the car by the time the guy recovered, lol.

I was thinking something along those lines too. Just very hard to visualize him being held captive by one guy at a Walmart. I don't think a guy could hold ME captive (without putting his hands on me), and I'm a girl. :-\ :D ?/?
-

NO it was good he stayed.. He's a soldier the last thing he needed was someone playing a video and issuing a warrant.
-
Okay. But I still don't understand how he was forced to stay. That's all I'm trying to figure out. But it's cool. I don't really care. :)
-

***Random Things That I Do***
I went into Sam's Club today to get formula for my son and I was starving. I went to the cafe' and noticed that a fresh, steamy, cheesy pepperoni pizza just came out the oven. I asked the cashier for a slice of that pizza and told her "watch me mess with this other lady behind the counter..." the cashier smiled and said "okay" :)
This 'other lady' was the one giving me the pizza. When she handed me the slice of pizza I grabbed it, looked at her like I was an angry customer and said "Ummm...I want fresh pizza. Can you do that for me? This mess is old..."
She looked at me like she was just about to go off on me, then I started laughing and said "I'm sorry ma'am! I'm just bein' goofy! You havin' a good Monday?" She laughed and went on to tell me how she was going to politely "read" me about that pizza.
If I didn't make her day I at least made her laugh 8)
-
haha. that's awesome. But what does "'read'" mean?

I mean, I've worn the same shoe size since middle school... and now all of a sudden, I have to go up half a size. What's up with that??? I thought I was finished growing. How does that happen?

The US is quick to get in everyone else's business, yet there are people going through hell on earth in Africa and we're very much unconcerned.

I saw the Kony thing, but I'm just a skeptic in general. I mean, why do people start caring only when other people tell them to care? Why not care about injustice right next door to you or Darfur or Troy Davis or Rwanda or homelessness and other causes? I know there's a tad bit of apples and oranges mixed in there, but in general what I'm asking is why do some people only care about stuff when someone tells them to start caring? That annoys me.
So yeah, I saw the name Kony floating around and I googled it out of curiosity, but I didn't watch the video so I really have no idea what it's all about.

I wish you could fix my tub. The drain is soooo slow...
I just fixed mine about a month ago. If you can take picture of it(the drain portion), maybe we can offer some suggestions? It should be an easy fix.

Hmmm, okay. I was thinking I'd have to pay $$$ for a plumber to come out. But I'll post it and see what you guys have to say.

Nessa, try one of those snake things. They sell them at Home Depot, and they're very inexpensive. I'll see if I can find a pic of one.
And AFTER you get the problem resolved (whether it's by a plumber, snake or whatever), get a hair trap for your drain. I bought one from Walmart for $1.99 and I haven't had a clog since. I never realized that my hair sheds enough in the shower to build up in the drain, but it does. I used to get clogs at least once every 3 months or so (a full bottle of Drano usually worked for me), but I haven't had one since I bought that hair trap.

This is what I'm talking about. Sorry, it's not called a snake. I guess that's just what I call it. :-\ :D

I think you're right. Thank you. The only problem is, my drain plug thing is like built into the drain, I don't know how to get it out to even snake the drain once I buy the snake. I don't know why anyone would lock that thing into the tub drain like that. Maybe I can find a pic online to explain what I mean, but in the meantime, it's basically one of those that you pull up and turn like a half a turn and it stays up, and then you turn it the other way and it goes down for filling up the bathtub.

Cool, thanks! There's one up the street, I'll go check it out at lunch. This will be such a relief to get cleared up. It makes cleaning the tub an everyday perpetual nightmare.

From the pictures, I'm guessing that the whole thing including the outer ring screws out? I was just trying to get that inner part to come out. I'll have to take a look at it tonight when I get home. I don't know what I would use to get that outer ring up to where I could even grasp it on the sides to turn it. It's like sunken down into the drain.

How To Properly Remove A Lift And Turn Bathtub Stopper (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CFQq1-Gqwwg#)
Okay, this guy is a lifesaver. I don't know why I didn't think to look it up online and/or talk to LGM about it. Thank God for PhB posting his random activities in his house, and thank God for Rue and Hasmo and others contributing their input. I can't wait to get home and check it out.

If it's the same as mine, it actually screws in. It took me a while to figure that out... lol. Try turning it counter-clockwise and see if yours screws in. Once I unscrewed mine, I replaced it with the hair trap and never put the plug back in (but I don't take baths, so I don't really need the plug - but if I want a bath, I can just screw it back in).
-
Oh wow. I'm so late. LOL.
I actually typed that a few minutes ago, but then I got a phone call and got distracted. But yeah, it screws. It's not the same one I have, but whatever... you got it worked out. Now use the snake thingy, put a hair trap down and hopefully your problems will be resolved. Also, for good measure, it wouldn't hurt to pour some Drano down AFTER you use the snake thing, just to get rid of anything the snake doesn't get.

It sounded like it was like ours at my home. I just needed to see it first. Yeah, just screw it off counter clockwise with a monkey wrench and you can clean out the hindrances. Warning, that gunk build isn't something nice to see but once you get out all should be well.

It's been a year and 6 months since I've had McDonalds and 7 months since I've had Burger King.
I tried eating BK back in Jan. because I kinda didn't have a choice and maaannnnn it was DISGUSTING! Like I cannot eat that stuff anymore.
I think my next one will be Checkers. I don't eat it as much as I did the other 2 though.

NBC: This week is spring break and I've decided that at the end of the week of stuff I want to do but probably won't get around to doing, I'm going to learn about strategies of how lawyers present cases. Perphaps I've been watching too much TV, but I feel like when the world's not a stage, it's a court room. In order to get to "beyond a reasonable doubt," people have to believe you. In the world's court room there are many cases that come fourth without tangible evidence so it's up to the self representing plaintiff or defendant to gain the trust of the jury and/or judge to swing the decision in their favor. SO, after I get to a reasonable point in preproduction for this project, I'll take a break to study court room tatics. :)

Update: My tub drain has been fixed for under $10, including the hair trap! Glory to God in the highest!
Actually, I didn't even need the Zip it... once I got that stopper off the clog was right there beneath it. I don't even want to talk about how nasty it was. I guess all that Drano I was pouring down was just running right past it, for the most part, lol.

Funny you mentioned that. I washed my hair last night (btw, if anyone has natural hair, someone told me of a great technique I tried last night that worked WONDERS!!!!) and when I was done, I wanted to clear out my hair trap. I lifted it up and to my surprise there was quite a bit of hair stuck in the drain. Granted, the trap did work at keeping a LOT of hair from going down, I guess some hair did get by and was in the drain.
I can't begin to express how gross it was. So yeah, I know your pain, Ness. But of course the good thing is that it's clear! Yay!

NRC but GOD ROCKS!!!!!!!!!! AND HE'S MOVING ON MY BEHALF!!!!!
Scroll down for the short version! So either my professor or the school made a mistake which resulted in the entire class having the wrong textbook (wrong edition of the textbook, but the differences were major enough to cause a lot of confusion because none of the assignments matched the chapters we were told to read). When she realized the error, the professor had the nerve to tell us to just use the index to find the topics for the assignments, discussion boards and quizzes, and they would try to work it out. My classmates were in an uproar and I was especially concerned because type of chaos just doesn't work well with my brain.
My program is accelerated, so each "semester" is only 8 weeks long. The first 2 weeks were affected by this fiasco, so to rectify it, she just posted an announcement that we will not be responsible for the first two weeks of the coursework! This is BEYOND HUGE because in just a week and a half, I've been really struggling to stay afloat in this one class because (a) the material is super boring, and (b) a lot of brain stress was caused by my having to do extra leg work, like trying to use the index and Google to answer questions because they weren't found in the chapters we were assigned to read. It was just very chaotic and that doesn't work for an ADDer. We've had 2 open book quizzes thus far and neither were organized according to the chapters we had read, so I got 18/20 on both of them. That's obviously not bad, but I would've preferred 19/20 or 20/20. This gives me a chance to start all over, clean slate! AND on a smaller scale, it means I don't have to finish the assignment I was working on this week, nor do I have to take a quiz this week. It just gives me some time to chill until Monday. **super excited**
LOOK AT YOUR NEIGHBOR AND SHOUT: FAVOR AIN'T FAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Somebody say He turned my mourning into dancing!!! Somebody say He gave me a garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness!!!!!!
Short Version My professor (or the school) made a mistake and caused a lot of confusion. To rectify it, she posted an announcement tonight that we will not be responsible for weeks 1 & 2 of our 8 week term!!! That means my work load for this term was reduced by 25% in the most boring class I have! Ain't the Lord alright?!!!!

I know I keep talking about this, but I didn't realize how much it bothers me.
My weight. I'm sooo conscious about my wight now. Like I hate for people who I haven't seen in a while to see me because I KNOW they're gonna have something to say.
Just back in December we were having an outside event at church. And there were people serving food. So, I'm in line and EVERY person who was serving the food had something to say to me. They would say, "Oh, is that too much for you", "I know you're not gonna eat all that', or "here..let me give you some more, 'cause you need it."
It was just like really?! ::)
Then one minister asked me if I ate, then was like yeah right you threw up your food. I laughed it off, but like....... dang. :-\
Then I have those moments when my parents TELL people I like losing weight. What is that about?! I HATE that.
I don't feel uncomfortable in my own skin anymore. :(
Anyways, I guess I'm just venting.
-
Man... I want to get into tennis so bad... I want to try a Zero Shiki Drop Shot... I have an old wooden racket somewhere around here....
I owe my victories in "Wii Sports Resort Table Tennis" to The Prince of Tennis.
My tennis instructor in college was an Old brotha. He would alwayz get on my case about trying to slice it / drop shot. "Just hit da ball fool". :) :) :)

Shoot... *smh* that's messed up. That's just as bad as saying "You don't need no seconds" to a large-build person. I have a sister who has the same complaint. It's like... come on, people! It's like black people go OD on the "BBW" thing, and forget that slim women are beautiful too...
Yeah and I always say how it seems to be soo ok for ppl to pick on small people, but ohhhh boy....let me come at a big person wrong. smh. That aint right.

Britt, of course I can relate, but I can tell you now you're not going to fix anything by venting to the people who aren't doing anything. :-\
Learn how to address it instead of laughing it off, pretending it's ok (which could easily cross the line into lying).
I know we don't have the same personality, but I assure you, you'll deal with it a lot less when you start letting people know you don't appreciate their rudeness. Learn to insist that people treat you with respect or they never will.
Personally, I don't mind people venting about the same thing over and over again. But if you're not gonna try to fix it, what's the point in venting?

Oh yeah...
Ok, soo remember a while back how I kept ranting about them building a sound booth in the pulpit, when I had already suggested that it should go to the back of the church, (but of course.....who am I?!). Anyways, since then our church has had new windows put it, painted (inside and out), new carpet, and new chairs (THANK GOD, those pews were 500 yrs old.....for real).
We also got a sound booth built to the back of the church. They were waiting on my dad to build it, since he's a contractor and KNOWS music, they were gonna have him build it. But because I KNOW my dad, I knew they would be waiting on him for all of eternity. Anyways, one of the praise team members who is also a minister took it upon himself to build it. It looks great. One less stress for me...well..... not really. But I'm glad about it. :)

nrc: i don't like sanding drywall in small rooms with poor ventilation :(

I know I keep talking about this, but I didn't realize how much it bothers me.
My weight. I'm sooo conscious about my wight now. Like I hate for people who I haven't seen in a while to see me because I KNOW they're gonna have something to say.
Just back in December we were having an outside event at church. And there were people serving food. So, I'm in line and EVERY person who was serving the food had something to say to me. They would say, "Oh, is that too much for you", "I know you're not gonna eat all that', or "here..let me give you some more, 'cause you need it."
It was just like really?! ::)
Then one minister asked me if I ate, then was like yeah right you threw up your food. I laughed it off, but like....... dang. :-\
Then I have those moments when my parents TELL people I like losing weight. What is that about?! I HATE that.
I don't feel uncomfortable in my own skin anymore. :(
Anyways, I guess I'm just venting.
Who was it? Let me at em.... >:( >:( >:(
Shoot... *smh* that's messed up. That's just as bad as saying "You don't need no seconds" to a large-build person. I have a sister who has the same complaint. It's like... come on, people! It's like black people go OD on the "BBW" thing, and forget that slim women are beautiful too...
EXACTLY!!!

NRC but yesterday, I was auditing an expense report and the chick had paid $12 tip on a $48.47 bill. I was about to send her a nasty gram but I wanted to first figure out what percentage of $48.47 the $12 represented. I couldn't remember the formula to do that, so I took a wild guess of 25%. I entered into the calculator "48.47 x 0.25" and the answer......................

Why? What's so great about HU? What do you think you would have gotten there that you don'ot have where you are right now?
The curriculum is better for what I want to do. An org that helps people who want to do what I want to do throughout their career has a relationship with Howard. It's all good though because my comrads and I are working on a time machine. :)

If you possess your undergrad degree, for what reason are you in school, now? For example, will you obtain your Master's Degree when finished?

I thought you were currently an undergrad student at [name of your university]. So when did you finish? And what are you doing now?? I mean, I see you said you're taking classes, but is it toward a degree or what?
I just didn't realize you weren't still in undergrad.
-
I don't understand the question.
She means what are you doing now that you are done with your undergrad?
If it is communications, HU does have a pretty decent communications degree.
I should know cuz I had friends who ere communications majors and they communicated pretty darn well. Orally and written.
I am so silly... 'D

had a crazy dream ...
My wife and I purchased this park in the city and we were just walking through our recent purchased going through all the rooms. This park (it is based off a real park here in the city i live in) had three distinct buildings. One was our house. The second was a courthouse. The third was the Gym. There were other buildings but we didn't visit them nor did we take a tour of the grounds where the baseball fields and other stuff was at.
The buildings were not in good shape... More like we purchased a foreclosure that we needed to put in some work to restore. In the house there were a number of rooms where a lot of the rough-in work was complete but no walls put up. One room in particular reminded me of a roman steam room... just the size of it and the location of the plumbing.
After that we wanted to check out the courthouse but we didn't have the key. So I went through the Gym and wiggled through two windows/corridors to open the courthouse from the inside. Nothing special just a building with a lot of marble. After that I was thinking about the area and thought about my sister having a desire to open a homeless shelter. So poof my sister, and my grandmother appear in my dream. I started giving my grandmother a tour and laying out our schedule for what to repair and when each building will be complete. When I started noticed the sun was starting to set and homeless men were showing up.
I grumbled to myself oh boy here we go. I made a mental note that i had money on me. Something that i do not normally have. I told my grandmother that it was time to start locking up everything and leave for the day. Plus i still needed to close up the way that I used to get into the courthouse. So we are walking around closing and locking everything when Uncle ruckus from boondocks saunters up to me.
(http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/thumb/7/7d/Uncle_Ruckus.png/170px-Uncle_Ruckus.png)
He started helping me close a door and asked if I had any change I could spare. I remembered I had money but I didn't want him hanging around so I told him No I don't have anything. And I continued to lock different doors and shut them. He asked me a few more times in disblief. And I gave him the same answer. He left in a huff and started making comments in the background going as far as one point to call me a 'sucka'.
By this time the homeless men started to change and start acting more like zombies.
We still needed to lock the court house. '
So we made a mad dash to the last building and make it to the door.
But we can not find the padlock to lock the last door.
I run into the main courtroom.
Nothing
I notice a cart with a bunch of keys and locks
I start rummaging through them.
My sister receives a text someone is coming whom we don't want to meet.
I find a lock
An elevator light turns on showing an elevator is coming up for the bottom level
I run to the door and realize the lock I have is a luggage lock
*Ding*
The elevator arrives and we all scatter like roaches in your cousin's baby mama's sister's babysitter's play-cousin's apartment do when the lights turn on.

NRC, perhaps the grass isn't too much greener at Howard.
I could have told you that! I dunno why people think Howard is such a good school. Don't get me wrong, in terms of value for money, it offers good value. However, having gone through the school myself, I am pretty much blah about it.
Surprisingly, my friend who went to GWU said the same thing about GWU. The grass always seems greener on the other side. :D

Black people have brainwashed themselves into thinking that Howard is on par with Harvard. :D
Seriously, for most people it's the culture and legacy of the school, and the people who went there. A lot of people who go there (and to other black schools) have parents and grand parents who have also attended and joined the same frats and sororities, so it's almost like a social status thing.

Well you can actually come up with a pretty close estimate of her age given the level of access you have to her personal information.
She is like Verizon, offering different plans.
Plan 1- LGM Only. This pretty much restricts your access to her to LGM.
Plan 2 (LGM + More)- This will include LGM + Facebook
Plan 3 (LGM SuperPak): This will include LGM, Facebook, phone number.
Plan 4 (LGM Ultimate): This will include LGM, Facebook, phone number, an occasional visit.
The higher your package level, the better info you will have in estimating her true age.
I'm currently on the LGM + More package.

NRC: (continuing) The Norfolk Southern Railway has released its 3rd heritage unit celebrating the Nickel Plate (http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/8/0/2/5802.1332990722.jpg). The Nickel Plate Road (officially the New York, Chicago & St. Louis Railroad) became part of the Norfolk & Western Railway in 1964. The N&W joined forces with the Southern Railway in 1982 to form today's Norfolk Southern.

Apparently the California state line is only like 10 minutes from my job (well it curves in and at that closest point someone has built a shack to sell lotto tickets). People from my job were running up there on lunch to buy tickets, but the line was so long, they couldn't get off of the freeway. So they continued up to Truckee (45 mins away). I hope they win, keep up this foolishness and they'll need that money even more, lol.

I found out today that about 30 ppl in my department are in a pool. They had an email discussion abt me where one person said she thought I'd be offended if they asked me if I wanted in bc I'm "religious." Then they all went back/forth about it. I thought that was hilarious. Plus, I never talk about "religious" stuff, so idk where they got that from anyway. But anyway, it dawned on me that if they win, my company would likely lose 28 employees - all directors and highly specialized technical staff, plus the SVP.
I kinda want them to win just to see that happen. LOL

NRC...but when I become rich, I'm going to start a "Build a Dream" program. Sort of like a scholarship for kids between 18-21 who have a passion for something. For instance, if a kid is working hard to become a music star, the program would sponsor their dream by providing them with equipment, studio time, sessions with producers, send them to workshops, etc. They have to have a real passion for it, though.
-
NRC but when I become rich, I'm going to volunteer and provide substantial funding for the Innocence Project. I cannot wrap my brain around people serving any amount of time for a crime they didn't commit. I may also start a sister organization, The Justice Project, for those cases that have been swept under the rug - like Mr. Chamberlain's.
I'm not gonna wait til I'm rich to start the project to mentor inner city girls and teach them stuff like etiquette, diction & grammar, goals, resume writing, interview skills, self-respect, undergarment rules, money management, survival skills, etc...

NRC but in my opinion Kirk Franklin has to be considered one of the biggest game-changers in the history of the gospel music. I mean you talk about someone setting a new standard, Kirk Franklin is that...wow! I remember when he first came out in the 90s and among some of the traditional church folk (particularly in my area) he was one of the most hated people out there. It's just amazing how God has used Kirk to forever change the face of gospel music in America and around the world...my Lord!

Kid me - Wait one second?
Kid me - MOMMA!
Mom- What?
Kid me - There's some kid at the door that want's to talk to you
Mom - What does he want?
Kid me - IIIOOONKNOW
Mom - Well what color is he?
Kid me - Tan

Mom - Boy he is black
Kid me thinks silently - Woman I know my colors.

That was always the best quarter of the year for me. Co-workers seem to smile more :). The kids are happier, sometimes too happy. The only thing I didn't like about this time of year was timely increase in hand to hand combat activity.

Funny, it doesn't look that way where I work. Many of my co-workers are done with the students, and vice-versa.
The biggest problem is the 8th graders, and their lack of care as they know, about half-way through the quarter, whether or not they will move on to high school which makes receiving completed work from them quite troublesome.

Girl, you SHOULD! I love it. I have only missed two days since I started it. It is so great to have all your thoughts down.
It is hard at first, and it helps if you are totally honest with yourself and not pretending. Put down everything you are feeling. No one is judging you and you will discover stuff about yourself and God and others you didn't know.

This week i'm trying to give 100% effort (or close to it) and have a positive attitude in everything I do (church, music, work, husband, father, etc.)...I felt convicted about not having a positive attitude about church, work and related issues. My cynicism (sp?) has been running rampant :-\
I started at 8 am sunday at church...I must say that it has helped out tremendously in praise and worship! I even got kudos from my supervisor on a project I was working on :) TGBTG!

At my old church (i moved out of state.... lol) but we had to read our bibles every year from Jan-Apr from Begining to end... And its actually pretty easy.. you take 120 days divide that into how many pages in your bible and its aprox. 15pages a day. if you can stick to this you will be done!
If you just read it like a story (you read everyother book you want to read :/ justsaying..) but no studying no commentary no extra stuff, just read it no skipping around (you dont skip around the harry potter books lol - lbvs) and just read it straight through. You find alot about yourself and God will open your eyes to things. I also Like to become the characters im reading it gives me a better understanding of even my personal relationship with God. its awesome!

Ummm 15 Bible pages a day can be a whole lot of reading... GEESH!!!!! It's not a lot for one night or one afternoon, but to try to read 15 pages every day... nah, I couldn't do that. BUT, I do commend your church for pushing the importance of reading and re-reading the Word daily and thoroughly. You don't see a lot of that anymore these days, so kudos to them.

LOL - but to be honest it only takes about 30 min (well if ur a normal speed reader... but if you read slow it may take an hour lolll!!) (i ment that as a joke!)
but yea it takes a few moments out of my day. I already get up and pray or have a time in the evenings I dedicate to God so I just add a few more on to that and read my bible.
Dont get me wrong sometimes i dont always read 15 I may read a few more if its good... and some days im not going to lie i only get 2 pages in. but I try to make up for it in some way so I wont fall behind to much :)
-
That is pretty cool. How are you doing it? Do you just smile your way through things or what?
I just focus on that task at hand, do my best, don't to let anything sway my focus, and do it with a smile on my face. And if I screw up...I charge it to the game and go at it again with the same tenacity.
-
Oh I forgot... One thing about this to... it was actually a requirement for Minnisters, Missionaries, and anyone who held any kind of position in church... all choir members, musicians, ushers, teachers, even kitchen staff. If you didnt finish your bible then you got sat down until you did.
of coarse its on the honor system but why LIE and say you did finish when you didnt..... One year (about 10 years ago) The pastor asked everyone to stand. and he said who all finished your bible sit down.... needless to say those people standing finished in like the next 2 weeks
but also one year I didnt finish on time and I was honest about it. But better believe when I finished I was like PASTOR IM DONE!!!!! LOL
but its also a since of accomplishment for me to know that I started something and completed it!!!

I left out some info. The story we read as a class is "Sweat" by Zora Neale Hurston. The teacher gave us a 16 page critique that a man named Myles Raymond Hurd did of Sweat. We have to do a critical response to Hurd's critique.
He gave us a sample from another story so I'm just going over that. I just need to calm down and concentrate. In the intro, he wants us to identify the main points, explain them, summarize the topic focus and the thesis.
Hope it makes sense.

Actually, that IS the introductory paragraph. The introduction gives a rough outline of the paper you are about to write. it is not strange to summarize what you want to get across in the introduction. The body of the paper is used to fully thresh out what you want to say in more detail.
Writing papers is actually very simple if you follow a well thought out formula.

I'm having a wonderful week!

I got hit on by a 21 year old client this morning, lol. I felt for him, and gave him some sound advice. He seems to want to get out of the situation he's in, so I hope he acts on it. I couldn't invite him to my church because of my position, but I told him he needs to find a church and that the right one could be a good source for the support and closeness with other people that he's missing.
I talked to him about choices and staying positive even when things aren't working out. Despite how he looked (kind of looked like a thug, well... not kinda, lol) he was a very pleasant young man, and seemed to really appreciate our convo, after he came up out of "Mack Mode" LOL!
I pray somebody does that for my little cousins and other family/friends that are out there living the same type of experience.

Call her before she calls you every day and say, "I miss you baby, when you coming back"? Make sure the volume on the game/tv is turned down. ;D ;D Oh yeah throw in a few questions to make it more genuine. Babe where is this that and the other? This way she knows you can hardly exist without her.

One of the gospel stations here is having a contest between Donald Lawrence, Rickey Dillard, and Kirk Franklin. Each one of the hosts is representing one of the artists. They take turns playing songs by the artists.
Back in the day, I would've said Kirk. Right now, it's Donald. I like Rickey but not more than Donald.
The callers are definitely going for Kirk. Rickey is next, then Donald.

Kirk is super talented. It was hard to pick out of him and Donald. Donald, for me, had more songs that I LOVE.

Nrc: I went to 2 nights of three night revival. The pastor preaching new the word front to back and in context. So I asked him how he got "there". He gets up n is at his church around 5 a.m. and he reads 40 chapters in 2 hrs everyday. How amazing is that? Inspire to do better

this is what I think it boils down to. he said he's been doing it at least 25 yrs if not longer. It became a passion for him to really know the word after encountering many preachers that really didn't.

This is what is absolutely shocking me and encouraging me to get heavy into the word of God myself. I have come across a number of pastors who come to church with VERY little preparation and little understanding of God's word.
It is becoming a bit disheartening and saddening for me because the music and so on can be tight, but if the word is lacking, then all this church thing is in vain.
-
For instance, I don't invite people to church because I am too embarrassed. I know my pastor is trying, but the naked truth is that the word is lacking!
The crazy thing is, if you talk to this man one on one, it is obvious he knows the bible, but his lack of preparation come Sunday is becoming too glaring.

NRC...but I downloaded an app last night called "Unstuck". It's supposed to help you get out of your "stuck" places (depression, fear, lack of focus, whatever...). It's like a personal counselor/psychiatrist. I was skeptical...how is an app gonna tell people how to solve their problems?
I was AMAZED. This thing is SLICK! They have exercises that help you get to the core of your problem. I wasn't aiming for a specific problem in particular, but I actually came up with an answer to what step I need to take next.
And it's free.

It's hard to supervise a person that doesn't learn in the way I'm used to. I'm hands-on and I hate meetings or lectures especially when they get repetitive. If you give me something and tell me once, I'm ready to go at it. Even if you don't tell me anything about how to do it, I'll figure it out and come to you if I have questions.
I'm supervising someone who doesn't get it and doesn't ask questions so you don't know she's not getting it until she just didn't do it or made up some random erroneous way of doing it and claims she doesn't remember the instructions you gave her in writing. I don't even know how she learns best, because she pretends to understand it. I can't help people like that, they frustrate me. She's one of the few minorities in the training class, the others are doing really well. I hate to see her fail because I cringe when the white supervisors talk about her performance like she's a dummy, which she's not. I may have to have an honest convo with her... without crossing the line.
-
Yeah Momma Nessa, I suggest you have an honest and straightforward conversation with her. I used to be like her. I bet she nods enthusiastically and such, then gets back to her desk and has no clue what she was supposed to be doing and why. She probably needs a step-by-step list on how to do things.
I suggest you ask her if this approach helps her more. For instance, if you are so inclined, you could ask her to keep a notepad and pen handy and make notes about what her exact tasks are. You could also ask her to read back what she has written down to make sure she gets what she is supposed to do.
You'd be surprised that she will pick up things very quickly if they are laid out to her in a clear fashion. Some folk just can't learn the way you learn but it doesn't make them ineffective or dumb.

1. I think it's great that you are willing/able to see her potential and not just want to get rid of her, like so many others in management would.
2. I agree with Fenix.
I would jot down a few examples of things she's screwed up, and ask her to explain what went wrong (or how it went wrong). That should open the door really well for a conversation about her (in)ability to retain information, follow instructions, process directions and think critically. It should also show you where the gap in her learning ability is, and give you the opportunity to identify where she's going wrong (not understanding, but pretending she does; or forgetting it the moment she walks out the door; or difficulty applying what she's learned) and give her specific tips to succeed in spite of the issue.
She may not realize it, but she's blessed to have you.

Here is the latest update in my quest to keep the LGM community aware of the progress of Norfolk Southern's heritage locomotive paint program (because I know that you all are just so anxious to see the progress on this front ;)).
The Norfolk & Western Railway is the latest addition to the roster of specially painted diesels. Along with the Southern Railway, the N&W is a direct predecessor of today's Norfolk Southern Railway. At one point, the N&W almost merged with the C&O/B&O (which were eventually operated under the Chessie System umbrella and are now part of CSX) in a competitive move against the ill-fated Penn Central Railroad.

I live not too far from a Norfolk Southern line. Hopefully I can catch one of these in person.

A very easy appetizer. I'll have to make that for the next soiree. I did some mini quiches and cheesy bacon biscuits this past weekend for a party. The quiches were DIVINE. The biscuits... either you loved them or you hated them. Most ppl loved them and had seconds and thirds, but two friends of mine absolutely hated them. I thought they were ok for a first attempt, but a little dry. Next time, I'll add some garlic, use cheddar instead of pepperjack, and some oil - and maybe put some butter on top as they come out of the oven. VERY easy recipe, though.
Anyway, NRC but I'm going to the Sundays Best auditions this weekend. I hate stuff like that, but for some reason, I'm SUPER excited.

It's at Greater Travelers' Rest (E. Dewey Smith) in Decatur. I'm going with a friend.
What was your experience like last year? My friends are lining up at like 3a, and I think I might be a little old for that kinda carrying on. I think the doors open at 6, so I'll probably get out of bed around 7ish. :D Just kidding... but 3a is a bit early for me....

Sister, it was there last year and it was an all day affair. If your friend gets past the first round they will definitely be there until about 10 pm if not much later. My sister in law didn't make it to the second round. She went at about 7am and didn't get in front of the judges until about 6 or 7pm. She did say she enjoyed the experience immensely and made many new friends through the fellowship. People were singing all in the parking lot and praising Him from time to time. It was something else but patience is of the essence for that audition.

NRC...but I watched The Iron Lady Tuesday. Queen Meryl Streep did her thing. So much so that I'm gonna watch it again tonight.

I think I may need a good full lung capacity, top volume, 30 second long SCREAM. Yes, that may be what the doctor ordered. #release

I was the opposite. They told me my feet were pretty and that I didn't really need one. Don't know if that's a compliment or not for a guy, lol.

In other news, I'm comparing prices now for a Magic Bullet. I think I'm gonna order one! Yay! Still trying to determine which blender I want...
Can I tell y'all how amazing God is??? OMGness. I posted this on Friday afternoon, right? Do you not know that by Friday evening a friend had blessed me with a brand new Ninja? I only mentioned that I wanted a new blender on LGM, so there was no way for anyone else to know that I wanted one... but did I mention that God apparently reads LGM??!!! :o
Anyway, here's my new blessing, you know, even though NRC:

And I know NRC, but since I'm testifying, I thought I'd share that I finally joined #teamandroid. I'll have to find a thread where I can share that experience, because it was pretty funny. Apparently Blackberry now employs people to stand in cell stores and talk you into getting a BB or talk you out of getting rid of your BB. Apparently, Blackberry knows they're in trouble. :-\ As I told the nice guy in the store, instead of paying people to try to retain customers, maybe they should spend that money catching up to the rest of the world?
Anyway, I'm having a great weekend! #teamandroid #teamninja

NRC: just accept what God has been telling me all these years ... go to Sunday School ...

NRC, but I went to a new BBQ spot that opened up in Macon, GA called "The Smokin' Pig". It's owned by the same company as "Ole Time Country Buffet" so I had high expectations for this place. It is by far the best chain restaurant BBQ i've ever had.

How did the concert go yesterday? I closed my FB acct and I have no phone, so I have no way of knowing anything worth knowing.... *shrug* LOL
More importantly, how did your solo part on The Blood go over?

I messed up :(. I don't know if anyone noticed, but I noticed. My freaking hand was shaking like CRAZY.
But the concert was AWESOME. We received a lot of compliments. It was just a high-energy affair from start to finish. Great time.

NRC....I missed seeing the space shuttle Discovery as it was being delivered to Dulles Airport (destined for the Smithsonian). Some of my co-workers and several people walking outside by the office got a glimpse of it though.

NRC but last night I played Bible Trivia with a friend (via her android app) and had a blast. It was a lot of fun. I usually rock at Bible Trivia, but these questions were brutal. LOL. Really challenged me and made me want to study more. It was actually a good balance of easy, moderate and difficult questions... but the difficult questions had me stumped.
Good way to sharpen your Bible knowledge, since of course they tell you the correct answers at the end.

NRC but... I really don't want to be at work right now.

But both of our families (wife and myself) are located near Sarasota. Moving out into the panhandle would almost be as far to travel home as it is now. Nothing wrong with the towns on the panhandle except the distance from our families.

I must warn you, though, it can be a bit academic. You'll hear a lot of science/anatomy terms like prefrontal cortex and dopamine and evolution, but there's a practical point at the end of it all. It really is good stuff filled with some pretty eye-opening experiments.

This sound very interesting.
I was watching a documentary on the BBC and it was about human behavior and consciousness. The documentary was focused on understanding human behavior and, to the extent you can believe what was shown, we are only really operating at a 10% or less "consciousness ability". Meaning that we may not be conscioulsy responsible for many of our behaviors.
It really put a new twist on the whole "flesh" versus Spirit thing for me, especially when Paul said that the evil he would not do, that is what he finds himself doing. I suspect that this is what the Bible means when it talks about overcoming the flesh nature. We do things out of our hard-coded nature that are contrary to the will of God.
science really does complement Christianity.

I care. Sorry to hear that... but I can tell you story after story of folks who didn't get the promotions they wanted, and it ended up working out for their good. I'm sure you already know that. But just in case you need to hear it: be encouraged. He's already got a plan for you, and it's for your good.

I know. This passed year has been really rough for me. Moving to Philly was NEVER in my plans at all. I didnt get the promotion because my manager let me apply for a position when she should not have. You need to be with the company for at least a year.
I guess my issue is that they allowed me to go to the interview, they gassed me up and left me hanging. I was very qualified for the position... But the HR Dept called my manager and chewed her out for allowing me to apply. In turn, they contact the hiring manager in the other dept and told them thay cannot hire me because it wasn't fair and was outside of policy.
So I get kicked to the curb for someone elses mistake. I know God has something better... It's just hard to have faith when it seems like things aren't woring out. I am urked... LOL, I wanna go get a massage and pedicure or something.

When I first got married I got a job working at Kings County Hospital making $380 per week. I was a temp.
I had a daughter on the way so I prayed, and prayed that I'd get hired permanently so I'd have some security. They even TRIED to hire me. We had a meeting wherein they discussed how things would change once I was made a perm employee. It never materialized.
I left and started working for a Japanese trade agency, again as a temp. Again I prayed that they'd hire me. They, too, tried to hire me, but before they could we were acquired by another company. One day my manager told me that the company who acquired us was sending over my replacement. I literally had to clear my desk and be out within an hour!
From there I went to work for a financial news agency making $42K per year as a temp. They DID hire me, but once I heard we were being acquired by another company (2nd time that happened to me!) I found my current job.
I started out as a temp here too. I was actually set to be released when, a month before my final day, my manager broke her leg. That allowed me to stay on and assume some of her responsibilities. I had to stay well past my 'final' day, and in that time some money opened up in the budget!!!!!!
Now I make more than twice what I made at my last job. Nice big bonus every year, work from home on Fridays, cool manager.
Thank GOD He didn't listen to me when I asked him to give me that $380 per week job 10yrs ago. Thank GOD the second company was acquired. Thank GOD the third company was acquired too! I hate to say it, but thank GOD my manager happened to be injured when she was so that I could stay on long enough for money to be available in the budget!
I was disappointed when I didn't get those jobs, but now I see. All things work together. :)

Yes, everything happens for a reason ^^

That is a very encouraging testimony, Mr RJ. I really liked it. It is similar to what I am currently facing, and I am really praying that God answers me in His own good time.

Yes, I struggle with that - putting things off, or dropping them entirely because someone said something discouraging to me. I think we all struggle w/that to a greater or lesser extant. Will look up that book...

NRC but...........the once proud and mighty Pennsylvania Railroad - once known as "the standard railway of the world" - is the latest Norfolk Southern heritage unit. Once a strong and prosperous eastern rail giant, the 'Pensy' eventually went into decline in the 60's and formed an alliance with the New York Central that resulted in the ignominious and short-lived Penn Central. PC (along with several other bankrupt northeastern railroads) were consolidated into the government created Conrail.

So God is amazing. Like really. I just love when He shows me that He's paying attention and that He's watching.
So this school term has been absolutely horrible. Because of the way my brain works, it is imperative that I have absolute order and structure around me in order to be productive. One of my classes has been the exact opposite, nothing but chaos from day 1, and it has completely demotivated me. It's affecting my performance in both classes, and it's just frustrating in general. So, this morning, I was praying and I told the Lord that I think I'm just gonna take a term off and regroup. I work full-time, go to school full-time, and volunteer part-time. Plus, I have LGM. It's a lot.
So I'm downtown this morning and this lady stops me and asks for directions. There are a lot of court buildings in ATL and I don't know them by address, so I had to ask her what type of court she was going to, assuming she'd say traffic. She said "well, I'm going to divorce mediation." I was going to the same building, so we talked along the way. I told her I was going to school to be a family court mediator and family therapist for divorcing parents, and possibly a family court judge. We had a great discussion. At the end, she encouraged me not to stop until I'm finished and said that we need more God-fearing people in the court systems. I hadn't even mentioned God at all.
Then, when I was leaving the building, a guy got on the elevator and said "hi, how are you?" I answered that I was fine and asked how he was. Of course, I was just expecting "fine, thanks." But he said "terrible. Frustrated. Pissed off." LOL. So I was like "aww, I'm sorry to hear that. Hope your day gets better." I was only going one floor down, so I didn't feel like there was any point in starting a whole conversation... but he did. He went on to tell me that he keeps coming to court and his child's mother won't show up. He said that he wants joint custody, but the judge is trying to be patient with the mother and give her the opportunity to testify. They reset his case 4 times already, he said. I explained to him what little I know about how it works in Georgia, and within 2 minutes, my heart was so heavy that I got teary eyed. He said "well d---, you need to be the judge. You seem like the only one around here got sense."
I'm sure it was no coincidence that I ran into both those people today, and that both of them, in their own ways, encouraged me to press on.

I just returned a call to my Cousin-in-law. His first name is Rogers and he wanted ask me a question about some Life Insurance. So he didn't pick up and the voice mail came on. "Hi, this is "Mr Rogers"................... ;D ;D I was done. This brother speaks very proper too.
-
Awwww, thanks for rejoicing with me, guys. I really didn't think it was gonna be that big a deal to anyone except me, but I'm glad you understand. It's just so amazing when God shows, like Nessa said, that He's attentive to and involved with every single detail of our lives. It just blew my mind that just this morning I told him I was going to take time off and within hours, He answered me through random (or not-so-random?) people.
-
Ok so I was about to vent but as I was typing, my phone rang. Im kinda annoyed. I hate when people don't value my time. A young lady that I've ministered to a lot wanted to meet with me for coffee. We scheduled a date time and place and I went. It was after work, I was sleepy, tired and not feeling well but I pressed my way. I get there and send her a text to let her know I would be inside in 5 minutes. She texted me back and said "omg we haven't even left yet. LOL." Of course I didn't find it funny. To make a long story short, we reschedled for today at 6. Mind you, SHE asked to see me. I left work early, got here by 5:40 and got a text saying they are running late. I asked what is the ETA and got no reply. She called at 5 after 6 and said they are en route. It's 6:22. Im still waiting. Not doing homework but sitting at Starbucks waiting. Brewing in anger.
-
Ok she just called and said they went the wrong way and are downtown (I'm in Buckhead). They'll be here in 15 minutes. I'm trying to give her a pass bc her mama just passed, but patience is not one of my strengths at all. *sigh*

NRC, but I bought a dress, sweat pants capris, two pairs of flip flips, two shirts and a tank top from Old Navy and only spent $45 and got a FREE tote!

How descriptive!
I will agree with you on the Ibanez neck though. I love my Ibanez's neck cz its so slim and I don't have to curve my fingers too much to grab chords.

NRC but I have yet another update to pass along on the latest Norfolk Southern locomotive to pay tribute the railroad's past. Presenting NS unit # 8105 commemorating the Interstate Railroad. Technically speaking, the Interstate still exists as an operating subsidiary of the Norfolk Southern but it is little more than a 'paper' railroad.

NRC...but I'm going to try my hand at cooking this:
([url]http://www.hillshirefarm.com/images/recipes/recipeofweek/BeefJalapenoNachos.jpg[/url])
So I made some of these last night, and they are DELICIOUS. They only take 2 minutes to make. I had to make some more this morning. Chef Boyarteej FTW!
-
NRC, but the last 24 hours have been amazing. Within these 24 hours I've seen (saw?) three of my closest friends.
Yesterday I had lunch with one of my friends. It was an amazing time of sharing, laughing and a little debating. I went to church last night, got a much-needed Word for my life and saw another one of my friends. Then I went to the library this morning just to read and chill and behold I see a 3rd friend (plus I saw the friend I had lunch with yesterday again). What an amazing morning/afternoon it has been!

NRC, but I think (except the money) I'm tired of choir anniversaries. We had 13 groups and by the time the last group got up the church was almost completely empty. It lasted 3 1/2 hours...SMH!

Well that's where you (they) went wrong. Hmm. Something just came to mind. BRB, gotta go tweet it. LOL. Okay, I'm back. Yeah, 13 is not just too much, it's just not a smart move at all. Very poor decision. One of the greatest disasters of my career was working with an artist who had 14 invited choirs, groups and solo artists for his 10 year anniversary. It was disastrous and everyone blamed me, though I had absolutely nothing to do with it AND tried to tell the artist that was way too many guests. You want to allot 15 minutes for each of your local groups (you're only giving them 10, though, but you're allotting 5 as a buffer to get on stage, get situated, switch musicians, host comments, etc.), and 25-35 for groups that traveled from out of state. I can't think of any circumstance where I'd invite more than 6 because honestly, who wants to sit through all that??? :-\
Btw, if I had a nickel for every time you said you were tired of choir anniversaries... LOL....

I only enjoy it when I'm in convos with friends. The rest of it, I'm not into. A lot of the celebrities get on my very last nerve, and I often find myself wondering if they realize what traits they're displaying when they tweet (or more likely RT).
But anyway, I still prefer FB. But I could take or leave either one. Not that serious to me.

So basically, Twitter is just one big NRC thread to me. LOL

I don't know if I told you guys this, but my former FL who is still a much respected mentor of mine, will be travelling with me to my speaking engagement next week. Very exciting! She called me the other day to tell me how honored she is that I'd want her to go with me. I was think PSSHHHYeah, I'm honored that you would want to come! It's going to be a great time. I speak on our second day there, and then I'll be free to enjoy myself (except for a workshop I'm supposed to do with the young people, but that's more in my comfort zone, and I'm sure I will use the wisdom of my mentor to help me out).

It's funny how that makes you comfortable, but it would make me INCREDIBLY nervous. I have to teach at a service in Jacksonville in a couple of months and I'm AGONIZING over who to invite... ugh. I'd rather be in a room full of strangers than have certain familiar faces there.

NRCBYS...I watched a documentary called "Happy" this weekend, basically about (as the name implies) what makes people happy. It was very inspiring. iTunes is giving it away for free (in HD as well) for a limited time. I think that limited time may end tomorrow in fact, so check it out if you can.

It used to make me nervous, and a while back I would've thought it would. But one day a few years ago, I was on to speak on Sunday Morning, and low and behold, my sister blows into town. I was nervous at first, especially since, my siblings don't really know "ministry" Vanessa, LOL. But when I got up to speak, and was thanking God for the opportunity and giving honor to the Pastor, etc., I thanked God for my sister being there, and at that moment I almost choked up because I realized how significant it is to have someone you love supporting you when you're doing something you love and trying to do it well. It's just a feeling I can't describe...
As far as my former FL, she used to make me nervous, but considering that she was the one that pushed me into stepping out and having confidence, etc., it's a different dynamic.

NRC (esp. Fenix) but the Lehigh Valley is the latest heritage scheme from Norfolk Southern having been applied to NS GE ES44AC #8104.
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/1/3/9/2139.1335209307.jpg)
The LV was regional coal hauler that served NJ, PA and NY. It eventually became one of the smaller pieces of Conrail. Conrail itself was split between rivals Norfolk Southern and CSX.

LOL, you must lives in the city.
Nah, I'm just a drama queen. Well, I do live in the city, but for some reason, when I hear "in the city" I still picture Manhattan, and where I live is nothing like that. :D
But yeah, anyway... a few years ago, when she was 7, she had her first experience with ticks... AND fleas... both at the same time. She had gone her entire life never having one, and all of a sudden she was attacked by them. And I mean they were all over her, everywhere. I had to bathe her every day, sometimes twice, and as soon as I let her out to potty, she'd come back with 50 new "friends." It was truly one of the most distressing things I had ever experienced (no drama, I'm quite serious).
So when I saw one last night, I really freaked out. I really don't want to go through that again. *sigh* Not to mention, I almost killed her trying to get rid of them. I over-medicated her big time... :-[

NRC: but I think I'm gonna get Savannah this, and keep her inside during the summer months (or at least during flea and tick season).
(http://www.skymall.com/images/products/06/1d/0c/203228675x.jpg)
Wow. I know how that is. We had a CAT flea infestation. THOSE things are sooo hard to kill. We were sprinkling powder and setting flea bombs for months trying to get rid of those things. It was so nerve-wracking having to check yourself for ticks all the time. I even developed an eye-twitch because of it, lol (could have been contamination from the powder, <_<). That's when we decided: No more pets indoors. Especially cats.
Yeah, I had 3 cats, plus Savannah, and none of them EVER had fleas (or ticks). When I came back to Atlanta in 2010, we moved to the north side and I guess there are just more fleas and ticks up here. Idk. But yeah, I used flea bombs, boric acid, this GREAT carpet spray, flea and tick shampoo, flea drops, a flea collar, and a flea/tick spray (which is what I used on her yesterday - it kills them on contact). She literally almost died. The vet said she had toxic levels of chemicals in her little 8 lb body. :-[

I read about that on Twitter at lunchtime and literally got teary eyed.
Well, I didn't know they were merging. Michael Baisden tweeted that ESPN bought 98.7 and he was saying his goodbyes. I assumed that it was becoming a sports station or something, but I guess there's more to the story.
Either way, it's always hard to see something you've known your entire life come to an end.

Nobody Really Cares (believe me, I know :)), but the Norfolk Southern Railroad is the latest heritage scheme to be featured by the Norfolk Southern Railway....now how is that for vanity? Paying tribute to yourself! Actually, before the creation of today's Norfolk Southern, there was the old Norfolk Southern Railroad which operated from Norfolk, VA to Charlotte, NC. that eventually became part of the Southern Railway System in the mid-70's. Today's modern Norfolk Southern operates small portions of the line, but most of it was purchased by short line Chesapeake & Albermale.
The locomotive pictured is a General Electric ES44AC, unit # 8114. This engine is an example of GE's Evolution Series of low-emission, fuel-efficient diesel electric locomotives that may railroads favor for "heavy-haul" service.

I just took my first bass "lesson" on Miso. I think I might like it. I guess I'll buy one this weekend and find out. I know no one cares but does anyone have a recommendation for an inexpensive bass on which I can learn/practice? I don't want to spend a lot of money in case I suck at it.
I'm gonna get a local to give me lessons. I'm kinda excited.

I still say you should spring for the ukulele. Even if it doesn't make you look cool (which it will) or validate you as a serious artist (if you're good enough, it could), if you learn to play it it will definitely bring a smile to ur face.
That app I referenced also has ukulele lessons, too. :D
But uhh yeah, I'm gonna stick with the bass. Only because I'm kinda old to be learning an instrument, and I've heard from quite a few folks that the bass is the easiest of the stringed instruments to learn.

You don't think so?? Seriously?

I didn't start learning the keyboard until age 35. I now play for my church, have been in bands, etc. Even if you don't want to play for your church or a band or anything else, playing an instrument can be therapeutic. It's also gratifying to get to point where you can actually say you can play. Aside from all of that, it's a great pastime.
But, in no way are you too old.

Yes, seriously...
Sis, with this age thing....come on, really? You've been bring up how "old" you are a lot, and that is bananas to me. I'm willing to bet that you're not older than my parents...if they're not old, then you certainly are not old. Sometimes, I'm thinking, "Dang, you sick? Called hospice? Looking for retirement homes?"
With that line of thinking, to me, it kind of insults the 60, 70, 80, 90 year olds (like the 90yo woman who graduated a few years ago here) who still want to learn and put that knowledge to good use...and there are many who are...
Also, with that line of thinking, why are you learning bass, then?
I understand, there is not one smiley up there, but believe me...it's not an angry post. :) <----- see...

I understand, there is not one smiley up there, but believe me...it's not an angry post. :) <----- see...
LOL @ the last line. :D
No, I'm not older than your parents, and I certainly don't mean to insult the older-than-I folks at all. I don't even feel "old" I just often feel "too" old to do certain things, if that makes sense. I remember when I told my mom I was considering going to law school but thought I was too old for that, she said "well you're only as old as you feel." I replied, "well I feel like I'm too old for law school." :D
But anyway.... yeah, I know I'm not "old." I don't even think of my mother as "old." I just think sometimes I'm too old to do certain things. IRT musicians, most musicians where I've lived are either in their 20s or early 30s, OR have been playing since they were in their 20s. So I just assumed that by the time I'm actually ready to do something with whatever I've learned, nobody will want to hear what I have to "say" anyway... not that I want to play for a church or anything like that, but it would be fun to do something more than just play at home. :D
Idk... I've always wanted to learn an instrument (though my sights were set on keys, not bass). So I guess I'm just wanting to learn because I love music, not so much because I want to be a musician. If that makes sense... ugh. I'm gonna stop now. Feel like I'm rambling. LOL
But yeah, point taken. :)

Tip, got some licks in! You betta rebuke her openly! LOL! Shoot, I just started playing in my 30s as well...
Yeah Tip pulled out the zap gun on that one... lol.

$115 .... i think some places will sell you a cheap bass, and a small amp for less than that though *shrug*
That's very pretty! I've seen a few pretty ones on Craigslist, and even some super cheap ones (and some super costly ones... lol). One was a bass (don't remember the name) and Fender amp for $100. But a musician friend of mine said that she's gonna take me to the pawn shop all the musicians go to, and if we don't find one there, she'll find one for me on CL. She agreed with the guys who said Squier or Fender.
And my fingers are long and slender. Everyone tells me I have piano fingers.

Hey Vonne, one of my friends also eats ice religiously. She said it's because of an iron deficiency, if I remember correctly. If you haven't already done so, please consider consulting a physician to see if you have that problem as well.

Yeah, I'm anemic (iron and hemoglobin deficiencies) and craving ice is definitely a symptom.
I read a long time ago that eating ice long term isn't good for your teeth, so I stopped. I think eating crushed ice may not be as bad, but I'm just guessing.

Good choice to have your friend help you pick one out. Have fun! Those piano hands will be a great benefit to you on the bass.
As I'm a bit curious, could you let me know if that pawnshop carries ukuleles? I haven't seen one yet that does. They just have those annoying little poorly intonated mini-guitars. I mean, if they're going to sell children's guitars that size, they may as well sell a REAL instrument, ya know?
Ummm, sweetie, I don't even know what a ukulele looks like... :D
*and please don't go posting 37 ukulele pictures* :D :D :D

In November, we're moving out of our current office into two offices on different sides of town. This morning I was having visions of converting this building into a church. :D

As my friend would say to me, "smh so churchy. just so churchy." :D :D :D
I think it stems from an incident I had with our building administrator last night. I clearly need a space to set up my dubbing/editing materials, and because the only available office uses the same key as another office (which the user -first lady- does nothing in), they told me I could use it but can't have a key. If they think I'm going to put my personal equipment somewhere where I can't have access without calling somebody, they crazy. Something about people having the key were accessing doors they shouldn't have entered. Even if they did enter, there's nothing to be gotten by entering the first lady's office. Some nice home decor maybe...
Anyway, so that made me think of our building lay out, and when I started to visualize the lay out of our office, I thought I could draw up a floor plan that would be such a nice use of this space.

You know, I've always said that I want to learn the bass some day. Why not now? I've got one at home. I got it for my son, but his interest comes and goes. Maybe if he sees me get better than him, he'll regain interest. Lol. Besides, our church can use a consistent bassist.

I know absolutely nothing more than how to hold it. I plan to buy a book over the weekend and maybe look for some starter videos. I don't even know the names of the notes. :-[

I always wondered why first ladies needed offices. I remember having that discussion with someone at GKC (not the pastor OR the FL) who told me that Lady A needed an office. I was like WHY? For what??? (At that time, she served as the FL and p&w leader). I wasn't trying to be a jerk, I just really didn't get the point. (Unless the FL does a lot of counseling at the church, and in that case, at that time, she didn't).
Anyway, I agree with you. Why can't they just re-key the lock? You (or they) can buy one from Walmart for super cheap. Problem solved.

The building administrator is a difficult person, and she doesn't want me to use the office so she's making up things that she feels will stop me. I spoke to my pastor, and this is not his heart at all, so I'm cool. I will make space at the house for my little operation and when it builds up and becomes a proven benefit to the church and members, I will restate my case in writing. She's a very difficult person, but I feel like God has placed this project in my hands, so he will see that it goes forward as it should.

One of the things I teach in leadership workshops is "there's power in your yes." I find that administrators and lots of other people with authority abuse that authority by saying 'no' for no reason other than just because they can. I did it myself when I was first starting out, and it wasn't until God showed me what I was doing that I realized it. I was good at it, too. Would act like I was so sorry to have to say no, like I truly wished there was something I could do... smh. Thank God for deliverance.
But you have the right approach. Patience truly is a virtue (and fruit of the spirit). :)

Happened to be day 3 of a fast when I talked to her. I think God just gave me grace. I was way more calm than my usual, lol. What I didn't know, was my pastor was in his office across the hall, lol. His car was gone, so I had no idea he was there and could hear us, lol.

Most of what I know comes directly as a result of playing the keyboard. I know the name of each string and the concept of the fret board. But, I've never applied any of what I know to actually playing. I'm looking forward to being able to plug in and start playing one Sunday soon!
-

Yes - they taper toward the ankles - the opposite of 'boot-cut', I think. They were called 'skinny' on the eBay listing, but are plus-sized. Am just glad they fit, especially the leg length (have short legs).

I found a video series last night, btw. I watched part 1 and then put part 2 on to fall asleep to. I'll watch part 2 again today. And then I'm gonna have to watch all of them all over again once I get my bass.
Anyway, I like the video I watched because it's truly for beginners (like REAL beginners). So many stuff you see out there "for beginners" assumes that people have some sort of knowledge, so if you're like me and you have no knowledge at all, it doesn't work for you. But this guy, his Part 1 (the entire 7+ minute video) is just about identifying the parts of a bass. That was it. And that was what I needed.
Part 2 is about fingering and stroking and stuff.
I had started with the scales (on my app) but that wasn't a good place to start for someone who doesn't even know what the notes are. So after I get the basics down, I'll go back to the scales. I guess... Idk. This is all so preliminary since I don't even have the bass yet... but when I get it, I'll know how to hold it, what the parts are called, and how to hit the E, A, D, and G strings. :D

I'd suggest you learn some basic piano theory as well. I believe that will help the bass learning process go by more smoothly. After all, the piano is also a string instrument. LGM got you covered on that! ;)

How is it coming along? Whose butt were you kicking that resulted in the broken little toe?

If they are kids you may need to train them. Then only use the ones who practice.

My sister is our drummer. She's a phenomenal singer, but I get the feeling she only plays the drums because we don't have anyone else. She isn't a terrible drummer, but she doesn't practice and doesn't really care about being better. When she's great drummers she gets discouraged and I just wanna kick her.
If you want to be better; PRACTICE. Moping when you see a better drummer won't do you any good.

People have money for what they value. If they valued the music ministry more, they'd invest it. I'm sure we could find somebody decent for $100 a Sunday.

I actually have a guy FBF in Chicago (he's a COGIC elder, brother of a friend of mine here in Atl) who has a ministry page designed to interact with/debate with/answer questions from atheists. I tried to help him out a few times, but I was in way over my head because he has a lot more patience than I do. Those people can be brutal.
I would say it's a good idea to unfriend if that's not your thing, but I wouldn't want to give the impression that we should automatically unfriend anyone who doesn't believe in God. You never know how He might use you.
Personally, I'd just hide him from my news feed so that he can see every time I glorify God, but I can't see any of his folly. ;D

My general grievance with atheists is that they are some of the most condescending people I've ever spoken to. Those are people I pray for that the Lord would reveal himself to them because speaking to them is generally a waste of time. :(
Catholics have beliefs. Jehovah's Witnesses have beliefs. Pentecostals (which I am) have beliefs. Baptists have beliefs.
Atheists? Their 'beliefs' are founded on everyone else's beliefs being false. As such they study and learn to debate and debunk everything we believe, so they revel in an opportunity to tell us how illogical we are. They glory in their 'logic' and their superior 'intellect'. They read the bible to debate. They look for historical inconsistancies. They are the must frustrating people to talk to because you get the sense that they're trying to look down on you. As if you're speaking of make-believe and fairy tales and they're trying to 'enlighten' you.

Sometimes I feel like I'm not up to the level of drumming that our church deserves, but then people compliment my drumming, so I don't know... I really don't practice as much as a should. Even if I don't have a proper drumset, I should at least work on my rudiments on a table or something. My strong point is that I can mesh with the other musicians really well, keep a steady beat and follow their "hits" and fills without over-drumming. Weak point is that my chops are at the most basic level while still being usable (think CCM style), so if I wanted to break out from the other musicians and play a crazy fill, I couldn't.
That's all I need. They can all play songs, but I can barely get any hits out of them even when the songs call for it. And when it comes to shouts I feel like doing a facepalm. I think I'm just gonna make them a cd with examples of what I need from them and then try to have a musician's rehearsal. Service could be so much better if we could all gel right.

That woulda been cool if a female instructor said it...but I felt a little strange when the comment came from a guy...

He doesn't. He said earlier up that he was going to have to start having one (or thinking about it).
But yeah, I'd agree that that's essential. BBG is always talking about how awesome the music dept is at his new church (well, not so new anymore) because they have separate rehearsals for the musicians. I can imagine that must be really beneficial.

NRC #1 - I took keyboarding as an elective in high school. I type 105+ wpm with 0 errors. In the last couple of weeks of the class, I slacked off because I was doing so well, and I never learned how to type the numbers properly. Therefore, to this very day, I cannot type numbers properly. I have to stop my flow and hunt/peck the numbers, then resume typing. That can be pretty annoying. There's a lesson in there somewhere.

NRC #2 - I'm excited because in both my classes this term, I only have one paper each. That's a major blessing considering all my classes thus far have had at least 4 papers each. HOWEVER, these professors are going too far with the videos and one has gone too far with the discussion boards. Most weeks, I have to watch a lecture, write 2 discussion boards, and 4 replies. On occasion, they may add in other videos for us to watch, usually about 5 minutes long. This week - which is the FIRST WEEK OF THE TERM - I have a lecture, plus a 58 minute video, plus two other videos (12 and 7 min each).... AND THREE discussion boards, 6 replies... and that's just for one class. That's about as bad as a paper. Ugh. I pray next week is a little lighter.

I am really, really craving some Cheez-Its. Like badly.
And why is my writing prof taking so long to submit grades. Ugh!!!! The suspense is killing me. I need to know whether she had mercy on me and gave me an A- or had a little less mercy on me and gave me a B+. :D

I'm not into potato chips at all. I may eat them once every few years... but Goldfish, if I have one, I have to have a lot.
Cheez-Its... just forget it. I could eat the whole box in one sitting, myself... in fact, I just did that on Sunday. :D

I never learned how to type the numbers properly. Therefore, to this very day, I cannot type numbers properly. I have to stop my flow and hunt/peck the numbers, then resume typing. That can be pretty annoying. There's a lesson in there somewhere. I don't know how to articulate it, but I know there's a lesson in there somewhere.
Take an accounting class that uses the number calculator. You will be a pro in no time. At my high school they spent time on both. Then I got a job where I had to use the number pad exclusively. Needless to say, I'm probably more proficient with the numbers than the letters, lol.

I can use the number-pad without even looking.

NRC #1 - I took keyboarding as an elective in high school. I type 105+ wpm with 0 errors. In the last couple of weeks of the class, I slacked off because I was doing so well, and I never learned how to type the numbers properly. Therefore, to this very day, I cannot type numbers properly.

I was on my stupid new phone. Have I mentioned yet how much I really do hate auto correct? It changes REAL WORDS into other words. Today, I was typing directions to someone and told her to get off the train at Five Points and it changed Five to Give. It's really annoying. Seriously. I tried to turn it off and just can't figure out how to do so. *sigh* There are so many times that I type real words and it changes the word to something else. I appreciate it correcting my typos, but don't correct something if it's a real word. Idiot.

@Mrs Vonnee, I care a heckuva lot!
I wish there was someone you could talk to. I found that writing in my 750 words blog helps to get stuff out of my head rather than internalize it.
If you also want to bounce ideas off someone, I am more than available on PM.
If you are using a BlackBerry, get LL on it. The man has a knack I tell ya!
-
I care too, Vonne. Since you've been through this before, you already know what to do and what not to do. Check out the link I posted to Betnich in the Total Health thread. Watch those thoughts.

Watch those thoughts.
Indeed!

NRC but I was feeling kinda blue today - for no particular reason, just carrying the weight of the world, as my father used to say... maybe it's the rain. Idk what it is, but I know I was feeling melancholy... I logged on to LGM and saw my avatar and suddenly I feel better! I'm smiling and about to skip my way into the kitchen to get a cup of coffee! Yay me! Yay pink! Yay shoes! I think I'm going to wear them to my friend's graduation next week! I'm so excited!

Thanks for caring you guys. I just need to push myself a little harder.

Yep, we're related LOL. I slacked off because I only had it on Fridays, and every other Friday was payday at Dominos (worked there all through HS) and me and my boy would cut class to go get our check and make it to the bank before the crowds LOL.

That's how I feel right now.
Being in leadership isn't easy and it isn't fun. I've been on the phone putting out fires and trying to find compromises all morning.
On one hand, one of my P&W leaders has officially requested to leave the team. My Bishop refused. This same P&W leader said she can't come to church early for prayer & a mini-run through of the songs because she comes to church with her mother and her mother cooks on Sunday mornings. Really? Can't she cook on Saturday night? ::)
So this morning I'm on the phone with my Bishop trying to explain why we should release her if her heart isn't in it. He's afraid that if she leaves the team her next step may be out the door.
Sticking someone in a position to keep them will. Not. Work. Let the girl go!
On another hand my sister, our drummer/P&W team member, picks up kids from my mom's daycare and bring's them on Sunday mornings. I was trying to coordinate with the van driver to see if he could pick them up, thus allowing my sister to come to church early. No dice. Apparently patience isn't a virtue he can't claim. My sister said sometimes she has to wait a few minutes, so he said he'll leave them if they keep him waiting. I totally agree with leaving them if they're making him late, but he seemed to be TRYING to get out of it. :-\
We have a thriving youth department and we don't want to disrupt that so I'll be meeting my sister BEFORE she goes to pick them up to pray with her one-on-one until such a time as we can get the parents to ready their children earlier (or the van driver learns what 'ministry' truly means).
On yet another hand the Most Annoying Bass Player In The World texted me to say 'someone' wouldn't speak to him at church on Sunday so he's sitting down and won't be playing.
Fine by me. He has already expressed reluctance to commit, comes to church late, comes to rehearsal late, and doesn't learn songs he's given. I say, let him sit. As a matter of fact I've been saying that for quite some time.
Only...my Bishop will likely want to have a meeting to discuss this and will try and convince him to continue playing for us. Again, he wants to keep the guy by getting him involved in ministry. It's so frustrating.
On the LAST hand I had to deal with some gossip. Somebody went to my mom and told her that I said something I didn't. I would personally sit down with my mom and this person and expose the lie, but my mom won't hear of it. After a 20min convo the air was clear, what I ACTUALLY said was made plain, and it's over.
...all of this was just this morning.
Lord, deliver me from your people. :'(

All of this is nutty. And, your Bishop's mindset confuses me. ?/?
A lot of older leaders think like that. On my trip home the young dudes (3 brothers in their early twenties) that have the most talent and play for the jurisdiction all (well two out of the three) came to church looking like they just left the basketball courts. They were late, had attitudes, and really have a problem if anyone says anything to them (I should qualify that the middle brother actually looked half decent and has a better spirit than the other two). The Bishop apparently has been abiding this behavior for some time now... I was incensed and embarrassed as I had a guest. As we left Thursday night, their father was chewing them all out, and they were dressed and on time on Friday night, but I'm wondering if that was just due to embarrasment in front of guests (the Friday night speaker was a jurisdictional official from another state), because this behavior obviously flies the rest of the time. UGH.
-

You and me both.
We have built on no foundation. No rules, no regs, no discipline, NOTHING. But it's built.
The foundation must be the FIRST thing you establish. If you don't, the only solution is to tear down what you've built and build again the RIGHT way. That's what I'm trying to do. Put rules in place, complete with discipline that will follow if the rules are broken. It isn't militaristic. There's a fair measure of grace.
...but he isn't willing to enforce these rules (which he agreed on). He's so concerned with offending people or having them leave the church that he compromises.
But you have to draw a line somewhere. You have to dig your heels in at some point and say "This is the standard". If someone doesn't want to be in ministry, let them leave. It's a PRIVILEGE to be able to sing and/or play an instrument in God's presence. It's an HONOR to be chosen to lead His people into worship. If anyone doesn't want to do it or isn't willing to meet basic, reasonable standards, let them sit. :-\

I swear reading all this makes me want to bring gifts to my fellow bandmembers tomorrow night.
Its unfortunate that a vast majority of it is a result of the empowerment of leadership wanting good music.

The irony of people who are afraid of offending anyone is that they end up offending everyone. :)
One thing we humans respect and defer to is someone who stands his ground, be it right or wrong, and who communicates his or her stance clearly.
Church leaders who waffle create an atmosphere of indiscipline. Shame they don't see it.

The irony of people who are afraid of offending anyone is that they end up offending everyone. :)
One thing we humans respect and defer to is someone who stands his ground, be it right or wrong, and who communicates his or her stance clearly.
Church leaders who waffle create an atmosphere of indiscipline. Shame they don't see it.

NRC but it's weird that I don't have many enemies outside of my family. Maybe one or two. Most of the people that do me wrong and make up lies about me are IN my family. SMH. Just gonna keep doing good and PRAY even harder. God knows I'm not trying to go back to how I used to be. I don't like that MM04. Seriously though, pray with me. Not a happy camper right now. Resisting the devil BIG TIME.

Yo, MM04, can you explain who you used to be?
Thanks.

NRC, but I'm at a bit of dilemma. I'm working on a project that entails quite a bit of drawing. As you can tell, though, my drawing skills aren't exactly Leonardo Da Vinci.

I was once a pretty decent artist. It's been years since I've drawn anything though. I'd suggest starting in pencil first, so that you can correct your mistakes. Then, add color.
-
IMO, it's easier to draw pencil-to-paper than mouse-to-monitor, but for some it may be easier to use a computer graphics program to create objects, and then arrange them on the screen, with the freedom to move them and edit them as they please without having to erase and stuff.
But, yeah, start with pencil. That type of drawing could be acceptable, though, depending on what exactly the project is.
Agreed.

Yup....nobody really cares the the Savanna & Atlanta Railroad is the latest heritage unit to be completed by the Norfolk Southern. Shown here in the tuxedo-paint scheme of its parent, the Central of Georgia (which shared this scheme with its parent the Southern Railway), is NS # 1075, an SD-70ACe locomotive built by EMD (which was for most of its existence a division of General Motors until a few years ago).
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/4/3/2/2432.1336567650.jpg)
Interesting (umm.....well if you have an interest in these kinds of things) fact about the Norfolk's Southern locomotive fleet is that there was a period of time when the frugal company ordered diesels without one somewhat important feature.........a toilet. Crews would have to resort to the 'dry hopper method' which you could probably imagine what that would entail. In late 1997 Norfolk Southern finally agreed to provide locomotives with toilets for its crews and everybody has been happy ever since :).

For weeks I had been wondering why the picture on my TV didn't seem as crisp as it had been previously. I changed the picture settings. I went through the owner's manual with a fine-toothed comb. I couldn't get any answers. Turns out the HD setting on my cable box was somehow reset to 480i. I switched it back to 1080i, and whoa what a difference!

Got one of 'those' letters from the IRS the other day. First thought was "I goofed on my tax return and they're coming after me with an audit (common fear of the self-employed, our taxes are far more complicated). So I let the letter sit unopened for a couple days - just today finally got up the courage to open it, only to find that there would be no audit; the error I had made was in my favor - and a small refund was coming my way! God is good!
:)

How did you change it...my box is reading 720i right now
-
How did you change it...my box is reading 720i right now
It depends on what model you have. Either you will have a menu button on the box itself. When you push it, a configuration screen will appear and you can change your settings there. If not, there are several buttons on the box that have no labels. There may be one underneath where you see the resolution displayed. On my box, I just pushed that button and the resolution cycled between the various options.
I tell you, since I switched it to 1080i, I'm in love with my TV all over again. LOL.

@Sketch- I used to use 9s for the longest time. Yesterday, I decided to go wild and bump up to 10s.
I doubt I will ever go back to 9s. I love the thick feel and sound on the high E especially. My high E notes used to sound light to me, but now they are thick. :)

Ah... I see. I think I started out on 10s... yeah, they were Knucklehead Super Mullet Mediums (that's a pretty good young, and inexpensive, brand of strings. I'd get them again if they hadn't burned down and stopped supplying vendors. And they come with two high Es). Yeah... and they were too soft for me. I always had trouble with pressing them too hard and out of tune, especially on my low E.
When it comes to string brands, I'm a real stickler for the familiar. I was introduced to Slinkys when I started getting into electric guitar, and since then have only been using Slinkys.
For my acoustics, I only use Elixirs.
Anyway yeah, I think I will stick with 10s for now. Dunno how those dudes who play 13s do it though.

NRC, but I just realized how truly powerful Perry the Platypus' kicks really are...
Male Platypuses have a pair of venomous spurs in their hind-legs, which will put a grown man in the emergency room. The venom causes the pain sensors of your nervous system to go into overload, and not even the highest non-lethal dose of morphine will help. Doctors actually have to sever the infected nerve from the brain to stop the pain.
And the jump-kick is Perry's signature move. Ouch. Suddenly I feel very sorry for Doofenshmirtz...
...at least the Tri-State area is safe.

I remember a friend on FB talked me into getting that RV cheesecake. I was really disappointed. I love RV cake, and I love cheesecake... so I thought it would be heaven. I didn't realize that I only like my cheesecake with strawberries on top. :(

It was the most inspiring game I have ever watched. Watching it made me feel as if anything in the world was possible to me. I felt as if, regardless of how bad things got, and how much I was counted out, I would still prevail!
Loved it.

NRC....the New York Central Railroad is the 11th unit (so we're more than half-way done with these informative and exciting updates) painted in a heritage scheme. The NYC along with the PRR merged to create Penn Central in the late 60's which went on to become a major component of Conrail. Interesting fact about the Central is that it was controlled by Cornelius Vanderbilt (Vanderbilt University is named for him). He was the patriarch of the Vanderbilt family of which Gloria Vanderbilt and her son Anderson Cooper are descendants.
Here is the classic New York Central "lightning stripe" scheme as applied to NS # 1066 - an EMD SD70ACe.

There are many people out here who are players & backstabbers. What do you think about them? These kinds of people can either be with you as in date you or be a so-called friend or they can not date you. But when they do date you. The whole time they are dating you or claiming to be your friend. They hate your guts. They smile good in your face. & the whole time they really don't like you. But you can't tell. They never tell you that they like you. They be with you but just don't like you. But you don't know it. All I know when they finally get tired of you & mad & that's when they finally bust you or tell you what is wrong. But they will date you for a very long time. Doing all kinds of terrible things behind your back. Having people set up to kill you. Having people walk up to you with guns & knives. Cheating on you behind your back. Talking about you behind your back to people. But you never know it the whole time. You are dating them. They don't tell you a thing. They smile in your face & treat you out. My comment about this is why would you want to date someone or go out with someone that you don't even like? Ain't that a waste of time & $$$? & that's why they are called Players or Backstabbers.

Thank you all for the consideration especially since 'nobody (with the possible exception of Ph [a little bit]) really cares' ;). BTW, if you're looking for these engines, they are assigned at random and can pretty much show up anywhere on the system (and even on other railroads). You may have better luck encountering them on coal trains because these AC motored engines are best suited to 'heavy haul', low-speed service.
But in the mean time....
NRC....I truly HATE American cheese! Thank you, and God bless America.

Yes LGM; because you DON'T care, I am pleased to inform you that the Reading Company (commonly referred to as the Reading Railroad) is the latest heritage unit released by Norfolk Southern. Shown below is SD70ACe #1067.
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/7/2/2/1722.1337816958.jpg)
Reading Company (originally the Philadelphia & Reading) was a North Eastern regional carrier that went bankrupt in the 70's. The company sold its railroad assets to newly formed Consolidated Rail Corp. (Conrail), but continued to exist and was eventually reorganized as Reading Entertainment until 2001 when it became Reading International via merger. Reading Cinemas is one of the railroad's successors.

But if you're going through something, and you reach out to me for help/shoulder/advice/prayer or whatever, don't give me a hard time and resistance and drama and games and all that. I just really can't take it. Like I can't even express how frustrated I am right now. I might have to actually type out the story just to get it off my chest.

I've had friends like that. I've learned, over time, that certain people have mindsets that get them into these predicaments. Moreover, that same mindset (call it a stronghold, if you will) keeps them from approaching the proper solution to get them out of the situation without a chance of returning to it (or a similar one). The end result is that they'll be on your doorstep (or phone, or e-mail, or text...) again and again.
As a result, I've learned that I can't bring the increase in their lives that they need. All I can do is plant or water. If I do that, I've done my job as a friend and Christian. With that in mind, I can move on in thought and deed, without getting frustrated when they don't listen or they end up doing the same thing again, or end up getting into similar trouble. When that time comes (and it surely will), I just seed or water as it applies without an "I told you so", and pray that God gives the increase.

NRC; the Erie Railroad rides the rails again as Norfolk Southern SD70MAc # 1068 emerges from the Progress Rail Shops in Muncie Indiana.
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/6/6/5/8665.1337989946.jpg)
The Erie was a fairly large railroad operating from New York to Chicago. In 1960, it merged with the Delaware Lackawanna & Western to form the Erie Lackawanna Railroad (due to the railroad's financial troubles, it was referred to as the "Erie Lack of Money" by some). Hurricane Agnes in 1972 eventually proved to be the death knell for the company and it was eventually included (after initial resistance) in the cast of castaways that became Conrail which itself joined the Norfolk Southern after being split up with rival CSX.

Bless YA! What are you thinking of getting?
Well, there's this mixer for 99.00 that's normally 499.00. I figure I can't pass that up, since I've been looking for one, but the decent ones are out of my price range. Then there's small PA system for 169.00, I'm actually going to use it for my keyboard. I'm not sure about that purchase, because the one I really want is portable and it all folds up into a suitcase-like shape. Since I have to break down and set up at different locations, I REALLY want the portable one. I can justify the 99.00 and probably should wait on the PA, so I can get what I want.

Why do you need a mixer? Is this for church? Are you recording stuff?

Yes, I'm recording at church. What kind?
It's a little one (4 channels), by Numark (IM9, I think), it has an ipod dock, as well. I'll be using it mostly to record services, but I also DJ events for the church.

Yep, that's it. Using the main sound board at the church is out because the lady who runs it is so territorial and difficult to deal with, so I have to work around her (ugh). I did find it at Amazon for 169.00, but GC is still beating them by 70 bucks...

Well you can obviously afford it, or you wouldn't have bought it.

Yeah, them betta be grapes of heaven.

I honestly don't even know how much they were. I didn't pay attention until I saw it at the register. I was like :o whaaaaat???!!!! But I love grapes so I wasn't about to put them back. :-\ I think they were like $3.79/lb or something like that. I guess I look at the price and my brain doesn't compute the "per lb" part... lol.
But the sucky part is that I have no taste or smell at all, so I can't even taste how good they are.

That would be 4 days worth of breakfast for me.

Wal-Mart has got me on that a couple of times. They have Grapes $2.25 (or whatever it was) in big old red letters, and then the per lb must've been in micro print or something because I swear I didn't see it. Those joints came to like $5.00! Twice they got me.

Those thousands of days, LOL! Maybe it happened before you came. He was a real Dianne Williams fan, and when the "Remix" came out, he used to use the term "Big Ol' RED LETTERS" for EVERYTHING. Then he got her to headline his choir day one year, and he found out she was more diva than he anticipated, his fan status kinda cooled off after that... :D :D :D

I love grapes too, but at $9 for a bag, I have to ask why.
Sheesh!

Bike sales are going up after this movie.

Because it's a per lb deal. The bag would be $3 or $4 if it were only 1lb. Not that anyone cares tho.

LMBO bc that was my first thought, too (except I was only kidding... lol). :D
I think he has probably only bought them in those little individual size bags (which I've never seen before, but I'm sure they exist somewhere on earth) or in a fruit salad. Yeah, probably the latter. I guess.
Still LOLing @ buying them by the single grape. :D :D :D :D

Don't nobody care and all, but the Virginian Railway is Norfolk Southern's latest heritage unit as see on SD70MAc # 1069.
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/8/8/3/6883.1338892959.jpg)
The Virginian was created to haul high quality "smokeless" bituminous coal from southern West Virginia to port at Hampton Roads. The line was noted for its superior engineering and early use of electrification. The Virginian became a fallen flag in 1959 when it became part of the much larger Norfolk & Western Railway.

That's debatable. There may be no clear definition in the first post, but the title implies that the thread will host things that NOBODY really cares about. If the poster himself actually cares, then SOMEONE does care, thus nullifying the truth of the title. Any post that opposes the truth of the thread title is a slap in the face to the OP and should be considered blatant disrespect and disregard.
Recommended course of action: either we banish FS to the dungeon for a period not to exceed 77 years, or we start a thread called THE SOMEBODY REALLY CARES THREAD, or we.... just.... continue to look at the trains.....
:D :D :D

Well....it started shortly after I arrived in America from Trinidad at the age of 7. We didn't have trains back home (the system had been abandoned years before I was born) and the rails were one of the first things to catch my eye here; this fascination has stuck with me ever since.

I've never actually met a train nerd before. I remember growing up, always hearing about how little boys like trains, and seeing those "Big Ol' Engines" (or whatever) videos advertised on TV, and wondering "Who would actually buy a video about... trains?"
It's kind of cool, though.
For some reason, I thought FS was not black.

I was on the subway once reading a book about the Southern Railway, and there was this one white dude who had this look of disbelief on his face. It's like he would have believed to see a black president in his lifetime before he'd see a black man with an interest in trains.

I just realized something that Teej and Edge (what's his LGM name?) told me in a Skype session a while back. I've been learning "Lord Prepare Me" (West Angeles) and when I practice it's hard to get the chords to flow smoothly as I have all these pauses while I remember or get to what comes next. But every time I cut off, I play it through (up to the part I've learned) correctly one time, even if it's slow. I find that when I return the next day or in a few days, it flows more smoothly than before. I'm so excited about my progress, that's a hard song, and I'm tackling it!

NRC: I know it isn't until October, but DR Strings has some Pink "Glow in the Dark" guitar strings that I will put on my guitar for Breast Cancer Awareness Month...
Are you talking about these?

I just realized something that Teej and Edge (what's his LGM name?) told me in a Skype session a while back.

I don't really care. But, if I did, would comment on the fact that I've had the same experiences with learning new music. in fact, that experience has shaped my approach to learning songs. But, again, don't care. So, I won't share that.
-
Well I'm glad you didn't share it because I don't care to hear it.
Or read it.
Or whatever.
I don't care.

Congrats Nessa. I'm doing the same thing wit some Chopin piecies. Once you get past the mechanics, the music really isn't that hard to grasp. And yes, I CARE!!!

Of course not.

Thanks, Block! I love you, dude! Sometimes my jurisdiction is looking to bring in a guest musician for big stuff like the convocation because I'm not quite there yet. They always bring in shady dudes that don't really impart anything and are just about getting paid. If I ever get a say, I'm recommending you.

so, the old green lantern's weakness was wood.
And this new green lantern's weakness is ...um....wood?
oh, ive said too much.
SPEW!!!
That's debatable. There may be no clear definition in the first post, but the title implies that the thread will host things that NOBODY really cares about. If the poster himself actually cares, then SOMEONE does care, thus nullifying the truth of the title. Any post that opposes the truth of the thread title is a slap in the face to the OP and should be considered blatant disrespect and disregard.
Recommended course of action: either we banish FS to the dungeon for a period not to exceed 77 years, or we start a thread called THE SOMEBODY REALLY CARES THREAD, or we.... just.... continue to look at the trains.....
:D :D :D
You didn't get the memo.. ? Didn't you know this is the Nobody else really cares thread.. :P
I mean... this is one of those true conundrums.. it's like trying to think about nothing... if you are thinking about nothing then you are thinking abut something.. which is nothing... and if you make a post in the nobody really cares thread.. unless you are nobody .. then somebody cares.... right? ;)
I have the same interest in airplanes...
Me too!! That's why I am so into flight sims..

NRC, but I think I'm beginning to understand the number system a little better as it relates to chords. On the C scale, 1=C; 2=D 3=E; 4=F; 5=G; 6=A; 7=B; 8(1)=C.
Now to explore more in the threads that go in depth.

When did you say you're going to start teaching again?
-
When did you say you're going to start teaching again?
Maybe in a couple of weeks. To be honest I'm still a little nervous about teaching because 1) I wasn't taught piano. I learned on my own through playing with chords and stuff based on music I heard and 2) I don't have theory totally downpacked. I was going to start whoever I was going to teach with chords and help people identify the note/chords of a song.
#fortherecord starting off (especially without knowing a lot of theory) I'm not charging a fee. This is more leisure and giving back.

I've been classically trained since I was 7 and I didn't learn the "number system" until college. It's good to give back. Music is a universal language and a great tool to make an impact. All the best to you. Definitely keep learning as you go along, bruh...

The cool thing is that when you teach beginners, they don't know what YOU don't know. So, you teach them what you know and you look like a genius! LOL.
Good luck. It's great that you're giving back.

I must be different because I actually learned the number system while being classically trained. They don't call it the "number system", but the numbers were there heavy. Especially with the whole figured bass stuff. But who cares right? lol

That's why I put it in quotation...I learned theory, but I never had to use the numbers while playing because.....we had sheet music....

The number thing related to the bass started to really make sense when I was at this church a few weeks ago and the keyboard player kept putting numbers up (I guess his regular bass player wasn't there..idk) and it made sense in light of the song being played. I was like "oh I get it!"

I've been bedridden all weekend due to illness, and when you barely have the strength to even lift a book, there's not much you can do but lie there and think. So, as I was lying there, I began to think about certain things and I started to get riled up. I had to stop myself and realize that I was over-thinking myself into a fit. I was making a mountain, not out of a molehill, but out of dust particles—out of absolutely nothing. It made me realize that your mind/imagination will literally run a gauntlet against you if you don't tame it.
So, as my bed confinement continues, I guess I'll be studying how to tame the mind for the rest of the day. Or at least until I regain enough strength to function.

Perhaps our interpretation of 'dog house' is different.
The 'dog house' shouldn't be a days-long occurrence. It basically means you did something she doesn't like, now she's upset with you.
Nobody is perfect so we will occasionally do SOMETHING that upsets our spouse.

Even if I, or she, does something the other doesn't like, we normally communicate it pretty quickly, resolve it and move on. Stuff like that lasts minutes at most. We don't allow stuff to fester and become a bigger deal than it should be.

Yeah bc I certainly don't want anyone from my church. Eww......
-
That's wonderful. I'm sure I could learn a lot from you guys (no sarcasm).
But NEVER? Your wife has NEVER been upset with you for more than a few minutes? NEVER bro? :-\
If she was, she never let on that she was. However, we established from the very beginning that we would take that approach. I think throughout our marriage, I would be more likely to be the one to get angry over something, not her. Over time, even that changed.

God bless you. You should teach a seminar or something. And you should let me come to that seminar for free.
-
Why does she have to be in your church?
Man, ask the Lord for some direction and go findeth your good thing. :D
I already know the TYPE of person I want, I just need to know where the heck she is. Dunno what's taking the chick so long...
:-\

I don't know. I guess it's just a matter of perspective. Most things (for us) just aren't that serious. We joke about just about everything. If she forgets to fix the bed, I'll say "see? That's why your nappy head kids don't fix their beds.". We'll laugh and end up fixing the bed together. Or, other things that would land some in the "dog house", we find an opportunity (most times) to make it funny. Life has enough serious issues on its own. We don't need to add to it.

I like this. I am taking notes.
I try to take this approach to life, but a lot of people seem to not appreciate it.
-
Even if I, or she, does something the other doesn't like, we normally communicate it pretty quickly, resolve it and move on. Stuff like that lasts minutes at most. We don't allow stuff to fester and become a bigger deal than it should be.
Yes!!!
-
In my household, such a place doesn't even exist. It's an absurd concept, if you ask me.
There's no such thing as a doghouse here either. I get mad at my hubby and he gets mad at me but we don't believe in letting those things linger. We talk it out right then and there.

I love LGM.
I love social networking in general.

My heart shatters into a tiny million pieces every time you say "Felix", Mme Rue.

Yeah, Momma Nessa is pretty much the only one who can shut TJ down.
I really can't, that kid's sharp... lol.
-
My heart shatters into a tiny million pieces every time you say "Felix", Mme Rue.
Just letting you know...
Didn't you see my explanation?? That's the auto correct on my new phone. When I type in Fenix, for some reason, it auto corrects to Felix. I'm glad you pointed it out because I truly would never have noticed.
The unfortunate side, is that after paying attention to it and correcting it a few times, whenever I'm not on my phone, I now find myself having to pause to figure out which one is wrong and which is right.
-
Hmmph! I suppose that excuse will have to do.
-
... or you could change your name to Felix.
-
Just type his real name. Auto-correct will change it to bunny or something like that. From then on, he probably won't care about the Fenix/Felix thing. Lol
-
NRC, but if you look at my signature I copied one of our LGM members' idea....LOL!!
-

Try typing "guy with a lot of pink on his computer". See what it changes to then.

Ugh. It didn't auto correct. Thats annoyingly arbitrary.

That's strange, Mme Rue. Usually it tries to auto-correct my name to "bunnies".
So stupid. :P

Congratulations, Mme Rue. That is very good news. I never got a 4.0. The closest I came was a 3.8.
So you are just one important step closer to being an Ivy League PhD candidate. :)

Wut-evar...
-
Oh and I meant to say that I think my auto correct only changes a word if it has a word that's close to what I typed. If it doesn't, it assumes it's a proper name and doesn't correct it. I guess that's why I got Felix, but not Bunnies. :D

I don't mean to be nosy but I thought that grits and polenta were one and the same. Is that right?
I deep fried the polenta, perhaps I should have said polenta CAKES. And yes, you are right.

I feel you on that one... I have ONE ride or die, but she and I are both loners... LOL, its amazing, we are like one heart beating in two bodies, but we respect eachothers space.
There is nothing wrong with being a loner... If that is what makes you happy, and you know that is what is best for you, then do your thing.

It takes a strong personality to be a loner and be content with it. I can go to the movies, out to dinner and even a concert by myself... Its nothing for me to roll on the dolo tip. I have friends, but its not like you can say, "whenever you see so and so you see L too..." Nuh uhh, not over here...

I have zero friends. Like...none. :D
My wife calls me the Lone Ranger. She went to charge her phone last night but my phone was charging so she unplugged my phone and started charging hers.
I was like "Wh..??? What are you doing?"
She said "Oh please, it's not like you call anybody anyway"
:D :D :D
-
LOL!! :D
That was hilarious! But seriously RJ, you married the right person. Can you imagine being married to another you?
-
I don't know if I consider myself a loner, but I'm extremely introverted. I enjoy being around people that can hold my attention, but otherwise I'd rather be alone. Being around a lot of people drains me. And I hate small talk. And gossip. And meaningless chatter.

We'd lock ourselves in the house and never be heard from again.
"You see that house over there? That's the old Joooones house. One day old Jonesy and his wife went in that house and never came out."

I was ready to come in here and refute this statement but I realize that, while I don't have zero friends, like RJ (?/?), I don't really have someone that I call regularly, and say, "Hey, let's do something."
And, those whom I can call, live a good distance away. :-\
-
Awww. I guess I don't feel so bad.
I remember my mom telling me she was the same way growing up. Kinda made me depressed! :D LOL!
IDK I guess looking back with all the close friendships I've had and how much we would go out and have fun. Now everybody's all grown and stuff. :-\
Around here, all everybody wants to do is club. And I'm not about that life! LOL
I don't even like going out that much because of my stupid curfew. ::) Like I'd just rather stay home.

Making me evaluate my circle. As everyone knows, my circle has changed radically in the last year or so and I'm fine with that. I'm mostly still a loner but every now and then I get together with my friends for dinner, bible study, etc. But I must admit: I kind of feel like I don't have that 1 friend I'd call randomly and be like "let's meet at Panera today." I'm learning to be more assertive and take initiative though.

I hate to say it, B, but your issues are issues that may need to be dealt with. I know it hurts to analyze yourself, but trust me, it is ultimately very rewarding.
The only other option is for you to have someone in your life who knows you VERY well. I have a friend who I don't even bother to fool. He knows me to a degree nobody knows and told me things about myself that both hurt but were ultimately super-beneficial. I cannot put a price on his value in my life.

Britt, are you sure you're a loner? A loner wants to be alone. You don't sound like you necessarily want to be alone. It sounds like you're just bored with the people you're surrounded by.

Well actually B, TJ has a point. You have made several posts that seem to indicate that you have people in your life who are bugging you.

Yeah, I'm very social and friendly, but I get tired of people real quick. When I moved here, I had absolutely no one (at home or here). That was during a time when I hated being alone. But I embraced it and learned to enjoy it. Now I have two best friends that if it was one of those times where I really wanted someone to talk to or just hang, I could call either of them. But I don't have to be included in activities, and most of them I could take or leave and it would make absolutely no difference to me. The only time I really have to get out and mingle, is when I feel myself getting into a lazy or shiftless mode. THen I may still do something by my self, but sometimes I'll call somebody and get something going.

They tried that with me, claiming they couldn't find a vein. I was scared to death. He still couldn't get a vein in my neck (dummy), so they call in this asian guy who gets one in my arm in like 5 seconds flat. I wanted to slap all of the rest of them...

I read that the WBO is conducting an investigation regarding the recent Pacquiao (sp?) fight. I doubt the results will overturn the outcome, but will it lead to changes in the sport? Personally, I think it will all fizzle out at some point...Probably around November when the rematch is probable to occur.

Perfect thread because American boxing is OVER! Let the church shout "over!"

I still can't believe this happened. Either way, this whole incident has set boxing back even further.
OAN Mayweather says he may never fight again because of the poor conditions he's facing in jail. ::) ::) ::)

I won't say US Boxing is over. That's unrealistic. I will say, however, that it has lost most of its relevance.

I used to love to watch boxing with my grandfather. Some of our favorite fighters were: Pernel Whitaker, Mike Tyson, Evander Holyfield, Vinny Pazienza(sp?), Zab Judah, etc, etc, etc. Those were the days...

Terry Bradshaw was on Leno last night and he was saying that he sees football and other full contact sports losing their appeal in the next decade due to the concussions and long term impact on players. He talked a little about his story, he suffers memory loss and other stuff, and when he first started being seen by a professional about it, he told them he had six concussions, but as they scanned his brain he had way more injuries than that. He says he would not change it because he loves football, but if he had a son, he wouldn't let him play. He also doesn't think the NFL cares about it, he thinks they just care now because of all the press it's gotten lately. Hope that doesn't cost him his commentator gig...

I thought about that when I saw an article the other day on a class action lawsuit against the NFL for not telling players about the risks or something like that (I don't think I read the whole article... either I skimmed it or just read the headline). But yeah, my first thought was "hmmmm... I wonder what this means for the future of football. I'm sure there won't be immediate changes, but over time...."

NRC, but I'm always at least mildly offended when somebody posts something personal that everybody cares about in the NRC thread, even though I know all the ins and outs to manipulating this thread... the hurt never goes away completely.
But... whatevers. Nobody really cares anyway.
Me too.
I thought earlier about how somebody in one of the first pages of the thread noted that people post here what they want someone to care about. That came to mind earlier this afternoon. Yep.
But yeah, NRC anyway, so......

I remember when we used to chat on Yahoo way back in the day, when we were discussing jobs. I have to say that I know this is huge for you. While it says something about your growth and maturity, I think it also says something about the fact that you may have found the field that works for you, emotionally, which is why it's not a drag to come in to work every day. Shoot, there have been times where you've posted about being excited or happy about going into work on a particular day. Congrats on finding a job that satisfies you. Many people go their entire lifetimes never finding that.

I know that's right... I had to take a step back a while ago and see why I would lack in attendance, and the fact of the matter was because I was not working in a field that I wanted to work in. Shoot, I have had rent, mortgages, car payments, ccard bills, car insurance, etc., I couldn't afford to act like that :D So I decided to go back to school and then work in a field that I am familiar with, and then upon graduation, I will finally be where I want to be. That's the plan... Let's see how close I will stick to it.

Maannn....the very last time I flew, I said I would NEVER do it again!
Going to ATL, was cool. I had a row all to myself. On my way back..... mannnn I sat between 2 big ladies, and I was just miserable the whole way back. It was just uncomfortable, I had to use to the bathroom badly (never went), I felt like I had ADHD, I was getting nausea, I was sleepy as heck...... it was just horrible. I never felt like that flying before.
Of course, I'd probably fly again, but I'll most likely pick my own seats. LOL I usually do, not sure why I didn't that time.

The first time I flew was amazing to me. I had a window seat, and I looked out the window the entire time. The view was awesome! It was cool flying over the clouds, seeing how the land was divided up, flying over professional football stadiums, and seeing a good number of Minnesota's 10,000 lakes. I flew again, years later, to Arizona. Flying over that topography was also cool. Vonne, try it at least once- just don't sit between two big ladies or in front of any children who kick your seat, and you'll be just fine. Lol
-
I always get a window seat. Between the view and the conversations with God, I love flying.
If you plan your trip, you're quite unlikely to get stuck in a middle seat. That usually only happens if you fail to book early, fail to select a seat, miss your flight, change your flight or go standby. On a typical, planned trip, you won't get stuck in the middle.
-
Besides planning ahead, what other advice would you offer? As far as things you should or should not do when it comes to flying.
-
I just Googled "things to know before flying for the first time" and a lot of articles came up. I would check through those. Honestly other than the rules about not carrying on liquids or weapons, I don't know what advice to offer. I fly about 10x a year so its second nature to me. I really wouldn't know what to advise other than to read an article or two.

Last year, because I just HAD to layover in ATL, I was on a 767 airbus... I was in the middle section in the middle seat. Of the 300 people on the plane, I am sure I was THEEEE most uncomfortable... LOL...
Besides planning ahead, what other advice would you offer? As far as things you should or should not do when it comes to flying.
I follow some personal practices...
As LaRue said, plan ahead... Pick a good seat. I prefer on the wing, and facing the rear of the plane, I prefer to sit on the left at the window.
Get plenty of rest the day/night before
Arrive at the airport at least an hour and a half before boarding (boarding is typically 30 minutes before departure)
Pack a light snack
Dress for the plane. The cabin temperature is usually kind of on the cool side
Bring a source of entertainment (laptop (there's wifi on most flights now), MP3 player, good book, DVD player, etc.)
Research you destination airport so you know where the rental car places are, baggage claim, etc.
ENJOY YOUR TRIP!

To get through security quickly, wear shoes you can slide off easily. Wear socks unless you want your feet on that nasty floor. If you have travel size hand sanitizer or other liquids, put them in a ziploc in your purse so you can just pull them out at the checkpoint. I prefer to check my laptop with my other luggage, because if you carry it on you have to pull it out and lay it flat in a bin by itself and then re-pack it on the other side.
If you fly southwest, you don't have an assigned seat. Nowadays you have to pay the extra 20.00 for early bird to make sure to get a good boarding position. However, if you check in online right at 24 hours before your scheduled flight time, you should still get good enough boarding to pick a seat from an empty row. I like to sit near the front so I can jump off without waiting for a bunch of people to get their overhead stuff and whatever else they do. I generally don't carry much on so I can get on and off more quickly.

First class for to to fly to Oakland from Virginia is over $1200... That's not affordable to me at all. $850 is good. I spent close to that when i had to fly the same day I booked a ticket once, and that was coach.
-

You raised one of my favorite points. It's always about what YOU value.
And another point: if you are a frequent flyer, you can often upgrade to first class for free. I get free upgrades with AirTran all the time. *shrug*
-
As long as i can get a window seat, and im flyin domestic, coach is cool for me.
I flew to hong Kong in coach once...18 hrs........WORST. EXPERIENCE. EVAR.
any intercontinental flying gotta be 1st class. or business.
-
I agree with that. I'm fine flying coach as long as I'm at the window.
However, I never turn down the free upgrade. :D
I remember one time I flew first class and didn't even know it. It was my first time flying with Continental, and I remember thinking "wow, these folks really have great customer service." :D Up until that point, on every flight I'd ever taken, when you're entering the plane, first class is to the left (and already boarded with the curtain drawn by the time the coach folks board), and coach is to the right. I got on, went to the right as usual, found my seat and sat in it. Little did I know that some planes (many planes, actually) have FC on the right as well. It wasn't until I was exiting that I got out of my seat and noticed all the "regular" seats behind me. I felt cheated. :-\ :-[ :D
Now I also remember once taking an Air Jamaica flight and getting a first class ticket, only to find out that the whole plane was coach anyway, with first class service for all. So that was a total waste of money.
And yes, I realize that NRC.
-
I've always had window seating. Anyways, I did notice once with Spirit, that the "first class" was just bigger seats and they just sat in front of everyone else.
I wouldn't mind experiencing first class like you see on TV. Or....Soul Plane! :D

Just in time for Fathers' Day! The Monongahela Railway heritage scheme has been applied to Norfolk Southern engine number 8025; a General Electric ES44AC. The Monongahela was a coal-hauling short line that operated in Western Pennsylvania and West Virginia until it was merged into its parent, Conrail, in 1993. Conrail itself was divided between CSX and Norfolk Southern in 1999.

NRC but I need to vent.
Random venting from a frustrated host of a long-term house guest:
For the life of me, I cannot understand why ALL parents don't teach their children the stuff my parents taught me. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I'm just being honest about what goes on in my mind. Some parents are so busy making sure their kids are fly, or know how to play video games or act like little hood rats or know how to recite rap lyrics or whatever, and forget their WHOLE responsibility. The responsibility of a parent is to prepare a child for adulthood. That means, you prepare them to live on their own, to be somebody's husband or wife, to be somebody's student, somebody's employee, somebody's neighbor, mentor, customer, boss, client, etc. I'm so sick of seeing grown men and women who don't even have basic skills.
Parents, if you teach your children to turn off a light when they leave a room, when they get older, they are more likely to turn lights off when they leave a doggone room. If you teach them to empty the trash baskets into the larger trash, and then take the trash out when the bag is full, they will probably do that when they get older. If you teach them to wipe up crumbs, close drawers, clean up spills, hang up clothes, wash dishes in HOT water (who the heck washes dishes in cold water?? Even if your mama didn't teach you that, isn't it common sense????? ?/?) and not leave them in the sink overnight, close the curtains at night, use a coaster, etc. that is what they are most likely to do when they get older. Teach them to put lotion on their skin after they shower. Seriously. Teach them what it means to clean a bathroom (tub, tile, toilet - inside and out, basin, counter, mirror, floor and trash).
You'd be surprised how many grown ups don't know the basics. It's one thing to know it and not do it. I can get with that. You're grown. You run your home however you want to. If you want a $400 electricity bill, knock yourself out. If you want dishes in the sink overnight, hey, it's your sink. But if you just don't even know better.... woe is you! If you're staying in someone else's home and don't know how to clean after yourself.... SMH! I can remember times I couldn't stand my mother for making me do chores when I'd rather be playing or whatever. But I'm about to call her and say thank you! So many parents don't even let their children do chores because they think they'll make a mess or like my godchildren's mother, they feel like children should be able to enjoy childhood. That's fine, just know that when they get older, they're gonna be somebody else's headache and everyone is gonna know you screwed up as a parent!!!!! >:(

NRC but I need to vent.
Random venting from a frustrated host of a long-term house guest:
For the life of me, I cannot understand why ALL parents don't teach their children the stuff my parents taught me. I know that sounds ridiculous, but I'm just being honest about what goes on in my mind. Some parents are so busy making sure their kids are fly, or know how to play video games or act like little hood rats or know how to recite rap lyrics or whatever, and forget their WHOLE responsibility. The responsibility of a parent is to prepare a child for adulthood. That means, you prepare them to live on their own, to be somebody's husband or wife, to be somebody's student, somebody's employee, somebody's neighbor, mentor, customer, boss, client, etc. I'm so sick of seeing grown men and women who don't even have basic skills.

Tell 'em why you mad!
Yeah, we really don't care anyways. :-\

For this to be the NRC thread, y'all really care a lot...LOL!!
-
I feel you, Rue. It never occurred to me that my "guest" may not know better. I think she's just lazy. My parents really went hard when it came to how to behave in someone else's house. That was huge. It's really offensive for someone to disrespect you in your own home. I'm glad I'm closing this chapter.
-
I remember when I was younger (in elementary school) and would have to go to my cousins house before and after school. She had 4 boys and a girl. Just about every time I went over there I was cleaning lol. I just hated seeing their house in a mess. I cleaned everybody's room, bathroom, and the kitchen. And my boy cousins loved it. :D The cleanness never lasted though. *shrug*
My mom would be like you don't even clean like this at home. And I would always think "lady you can't compare our house this" :D
It was fun to me. But now... blah. I HATE cleaning. I'm good at cleaning, I just hate it. Ugh! My room is pretty clean until I get dressed to go somewhere. :-\

*note to self read a book about being a proper house guest before I visit anyone*

My house guest is definitely and admittedly lazy. Her story is that, as an only child and a girl they had hoped would be a boy, she grew up with her father. She never spent time with her mother at all, as her father was like 60 and retired shortly after she was born. Her mother was 20 years younger, and still working full-time. When I'm not in a disgruntled mood, I joke with her that she can pee standing up but doesn't know how to clean the toilet. In other words, she learned a bunch of meaningless stuff hanging out with her father, but doesn't know a thing about being a woman, a lady, or certainly not a housekeeper. I had to explain to her the science behind WHY you have to wash dishes in hot water, and even then, she googled it because she didn't believe me. She will leave the dishrag all balled up in the sink and not understand that it will get mildewy and nasty if you don't let it dry properly. This is basic stuff that nobody ever taught her. I was having company a few weeks ago, and the bathroom she uses is the guest bathroom. I asked her to please make sure it was clean because I was having a friend over for the weekend. I asked her later if it was clean, and when I went in there to look, the trash wasn't emptied and the floor was NASTY. NASSSSSS-TY. She said she forgot about the floor. :-\
Last Sunday night, I went in the kitchen and the light was on. I knew she was in her room waiting for the tea kettle and would be coming back, so I turned the light off and put the stove light on. The next morning when I got up to go to work.... yep... the stove light was still on. :D Like WHYYYYY???? And then, I feel like I can't say anything because there's SOMETHING to complain about every day and she'll just brush it off as "ugh, you're never happy...."
Anyway, I've vented enough. I'm just glad I was taught better.

Coming here to vent, ramble or whatever you want to call it, LOL.
I am soooooo emotional today. I woke up this morning wanting to be with my family today. I just wanted us all to take off and spend ALL day together. Even right now as I type this....I'm tearing up. I'm about to call them in a few.....just so I can hear their voices.
I've also been thinking about how crazy and protective I am about my family. I was seeing red a few months back about something that happened with my nephew. I just want to be there to protect them at all times.
This kinda stuff makes me think twice about wanting my own family. I see how people treat kids and how crazy this world is. I'm not sure I want to raise children in this world. IDK.....
I have a huge lump in my throat....man.

NRC, but... everybody always says "tritones aren't bad" and "dom7ths and ninth chords aren't bad", but yet, the only evidence they can provide is " I like them, so they can't be bad. It's just music". That's not scientific.
So maybe they're not bad, but can anybody give evidence that they are GOOD?
<[/doesn't really care>
Same thing can be said about any other chord as well. What makes a chord good or bad is simply placement. Of course, NRC right? lol

NRC, but it all depends on context.
A Dom. 7th chord is more 'at home' in Blues or Quartet Gospel styles than say, Neo-Soul.
Likewise, one would not expect a Maj.9th or a suspended chord in a Clara Ward Singers number...

Another bachelors degree? Why?
I just found out what the job I've been describing, since high school, is. (Yesterday, btw. Thanks a lot, profs.) I learned that my botched plan A was, in fact, my key to getting there and I have to go back to school if I want to stand a chance. Initially I planned on going back to get my associates, but a bachelors with the minor I'm thinking of will afford me more opportunities.
-
Koda, getting a second bachelor's in 2012 is almost always going to be a bad choice, waste of time and money. I will leave the caveat that there's an exception to every rule, but I honestly cannot think of any good reason to get a second bachelors in 2012. If I were you, I would find someone who works in that job and ask them (just so you can hear it straight from the horse's mouth). PM me the details. You'll probably be better off getting a certificate, Master's or doing a postbacc... but not a Bachelor's.

Not true, when taken out of context, each chord has it's own mood regardless of placement. What makes a chord SOUND appealing is simply placement.
I disagree, but still NRC.

I'm at home, and we have my cousins over for the summer. Y'all know about Miles, but his sister is here as well along with my little brother. They are driving me NUTS! These kids keep up so much racket and I can't get any work done. My grandparents were supposed to be picking them up yesterday, but they said they're coming today instead. Now they're not coming today. I was counting on them being away this week to finally catch up on some work, but they'll probably end up staying the whole week again. I'm really tempted to go back to Auburn, but I feel like I'll be leaving the burden of dealing with them on my Mom.
Trying to keep my composure. My introverted nature is being violated. I need PEACE!!!

Nobody Really Cares, but I have yet another Norfolk Southern heritage unit update (yeah!! :D). The Wabash Railroad paint scheme adorns NS # 1070 shown here at Muncie, IN. The Wabash was a major Class 1 carrier operating routes from New York, to St. Louis as well as trackage in Ontario, Canada. This railroad was leased to the Norfolk & Western Railway in the fall of 1960 and despite that it ceased to exist as an operating entity, the Wabash Railroad company lasted until 1997 when it was finally merged into the Norfolk Southern.
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/4/1/2/7412.1340287706.jpg)
On a side note, this is the 16th heritage unit from Norfolk Southern so hang in there folks. There are only 4 more to go!

I had a dream that I was in Booksamillion with my mom and little brother when all of the sudden a man burst in with a gun and held the place up. He had us all on the ground and, of course, we were fearing for our lives. To make it worse, my moth and I were separated from my brother. I tried to sneak my way to the front of the store where the gunman was. When I got there, I saw LGM's own Nessa. For some reason the gunman gave us all bottles of water. Then, when the gunman was distracted, Nessa took her bottle of water and knocked the HECK out of him. He went down unconscious and everyone ran out of the store, called the police, etc. (don't ask me how a water bottle was strong enough to knock someone out)
Ness, you're my hero. :'( :D :D

(17 down, 3 to go)...NRC, but the Central Railroad of New Jersey is the latest heritage painted unit released by Norfolk Southern as seen on SD70ACe # 1071. The CNJ was a class 1 carrier operating in the states of New York, New Jersey, Delaware and Pennsylvania. The railroad was created in the 1830's and lasted until April 1st, 1976 when it became part of Conrail.

(NRC, but I was going to type "but I just knew it somehow", but changed it to "for some reason" because I'd already used the word "how" in the sentence and wanted to avoid redundantly repeating the same word more than once over again, using the same word too many times because that would be redundant).
We're a lot more alike than I ever realized.
I could've typed that whole thing myself.

thank you guys I assume because was starts with a W I forgot about wife LOL oh well

I'm thinking about taking a year off from playing keyboard and re-learning Drums. I can no longer hide the fact that I'm a drummer at heart. I want to get back on them SO bad. I start salivating every time I see a pretty kit.

I'm in the same boat, sort of...Been playing bass for a long time, but I always wanted to play guitar. My father played guitar, and I think that's the reason I'm so intrigued because I never saw/heard him play.

It's a reverse transition (seems that in most cases, people had started with guitar and moved to bass for a variety of reasons), but you're already halfway there.

The secret to good curry is to burn your curry first and cook your goat super slow. Its really hard to mess it up if you do those two things.

OK, y'all....don't nobody really care ('cept, of course for me and maybe one other person on LGM) , but the conclusion of Norfolk Southern's heritage unit program is in sight. Today, the Penn Central with its "mating worms" is back in the form of Norfolk Southern SD70ACe #1073 seen here at the Progress Rail facility in Muncie, IN.
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/9/0/3/7903.1340641022.jpg)
The PC was the result of a desperate merger between the iconic Pennsylvania and New York Central railroads in 1968 (the much smaller New Haven, Hartford & Connecticut joined the mess later). Two years later, Penn Central's bankruptcy was the largest ever in US corporate history at that time. Penn 'Central exited the railroad business in 1976 when its rail assets and operations were taken over by the Consolidated Rail Corporation which is now part of Norfolk Southern. Penn Central continued on in other non-rail business ventures (although they did own a few miles of railroad rights-of-way) and eventually changed its name to American Premier Underwriters in 1994. Among of of PC's non-rail holdings is Madison Square Gardens.

NRC, but I'm eating taco bell for the first time in probably 7-10 years.

LMBO!!!! I thought you were gonna give a pic of the dish. :D :D :D
To burn the curry, you're going to put about 2 tbsp of cooking oil in the pan, and 2 tbsp of your curry. Stir it and cook it on med-high heat until it turns dark brown. Then add your seasonings/vegetables and cook for a couple of minutes. Then add your goat and stir it into the curry really good, then simmer it for about 10 minutes (med-low heat). Then you're going to add the rest of your curry, water, dry seasonings. Put a lid on and simmer it super low until it's extremely tender - like 30-45 minutes or so. Keep watch on it because if the flame isn't low enough, you'll burn out all your stew.
And if you're cooking white potatoes or yam with it, make sure you taste it toward the end because you'll probably need to add more salt.
-
Maybe it's just me... but... you guys really need to stop hot-linking and posting broken images. =\

You know what? I thought that's what you meant, and I just saw that on some website.
I'm convinced that the recipe I used was wrong. That's what I get for using the very first link I came across instead of doing research (in my excitement to try a new dish).
Anyway, my next door neighbor just blessed me with some goat so that I can give it another shot some time this week (probably Friday).
Thanks for the tip.
-
You're quite welcome.
The key really is to burn the curry and cook it slowly. Other than that, you can't really mess it up (unless you make it too salty or not seasoned enough - but even those can be fixed. If it's too salty, add another potato and cook on low until the potato is done. If it's not seasoned enough - just add a pinch of white salt repeatedly until it's good). Make sure you use some thyme.

Why the sad eyes and wherefore is thine countenance fallen down? Be of good cheer; for the the Heritage painted diesels of the Norfolk Southern Railway shall ride the rails for years to come. And if you happen to be in the Spencer, NC area on July 3rd and 4th, you'll have the opportunity to photograph all 20 of the heritage units for yourself; live and in living color (or in B&W if you are so inclined) at he North Carolina Museum of Transportation (http://www.nctrans.org/)! Otherwise, we can hope that CSX will also run a series of heritage units of its own. Short of that, I've got lots and lots of information on the Chessie System I can share with you...assuming that you care of course ;).

will any of those trains potentially come through kansas? I live close to a major rail hub
A Burlington Northern Santa Fe classification yard, the largest yard on the BNSF system.There is an intermodal hub center, a hump with 60 sorting tracks, a car repair shop, and a large diesel shop on the premises. Crews based at the yard run to Arkansas City KS, Newton KS, Emporia KS, Wellington, KS; Oklahoma City, OK; and Brookfield, MO. It is the primary BNSF railroad yard in Kansas City, being supplemented by the smaller Murray Yard. A great deal of transfer traffic moves between both yards.

As a kid, I never really liked meatloaf, mainly because my mom used onions and green peppers, which I loathed at the time. Nowadays, I actually like it. But, my wife doesn't add the green peppers (which I now like) or the onions (which I now tolerate).
-
NRC but I love meatloaf. It's one of my favorite entrees. I use green, red, orange, and yellow peppers, onions, fresh garlic, and whole red potatoes, and oatmeal instead of bread crumbs. (My friend, who is an amazing chef, turned me on to the oatmeal, which I thought was gross until I tasted it. Delish!!!!).

It is possible as locomotives from one railroad could show up on another railroad almost at random. Sometimes, they lease equipment from each other and in other cases, one or more lines may have what is called a run-through agreement, motive power pool, or trackage rights that allows them to operate their trains over another carriers line.

The IT was a heavy duty electric interurban railroad that became part of the Norfolk & Western Railway in 1982 after having been owned by a consortium of 9 Class 1 carriers.

Looks like you captured an EMD GP38-2. These (along with their GP38 predecessors) were very popular medium powered road switchers.
what does EMD stand for and how much does one cost?
EMD once stood for the Electro-Motive Division of General Motors. GM sold the company a few years ago and the initials now stand for Electo-Motive Diesel; Caterpillar is their current owner via its Progress Rail Services Corp. subsidiary. A new locomotive (weather it's made by EMD or General Electric) costs roughly between $1.5 - $2 million a copy. EMD's have a reputation for being very reliable, and durable. Some older models are approaching 40 years of service...some have been rebuilt and are practically brand new. They were once the number 1 builder until GE stepped up their game in terms of both the product and service and have since taken over the number 1 spot. But if you happen to be shopping for a used diesel to operate that short-line that you just started up, EMD locomotives dominate that market. GE's, until their Dash9 and GEVO locomotives, don't seem to hold up as well for some reason (possibly due to lack of familiarity by railroad shop personnel because EMD's have been far more common). I've heard a story of an engineer who hated GE's so much that he wouldn't let his wife buy GE light bulbs.....how ironic as GE bulbs can be found on EMD's!

Hello LGM!!! I know that nobody really cares, but after much anticipation even to the consternation of some LGM'ers, the 20th and final heritage painted unit has been released by Norfolk Southern.
The Delaware Lackawanna & Western Railroad (known as the "the route of Phoebe Snow" for its named passenger train) is commemorated as Norfolk Southern SD70ACe #1074 shown here at Muncie, IN. The DL&W was a Class 1 railroad operating in the states of New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. Competition from trucks and declining coal traffic eventually lead to a merger with its bitter rial, the Erie Railroad to form the Erie Lackawanna. The EL would eventually become part of the Conrail which as split up between NS and its rival, CSX.
(http://www.railpictures.net/images/d1/3/5/0/3350.1340809052.jpg)
Thus concludes the Norfolk Southern Heritage Locomotive repainting updates. Of course, I will keep you updated on any new developments regarding these units....Or perhaps, we shall go through Union Pacific Heritage Fleet?

It was pretty hot yesterday. And I hate the fact that we STAY outside at summer camp. The kids can't even take the heat. They be begging to go back inside. They go outside in the morning for 30 minutes. Then, for an hour before lunch, then go back out for a good 2 hours. Go back in for 4 hours, then back outside for almost 4 hours. Blah. Summer is sooo draining.

That's surprising. In Georgia, when the weather gets over a certain temperature (I think 93??), the children aren't allowed to go outside, whether it's at school or a summer camp or after school program or whatever. Churches observe that, too.
-
Update: It's 101
-
I wish that were the case here. Last year, one of the kids complained to their parents about how long we stay outside. The camp director changed it.
This year, all they tell us is to make sure the kids are hydrated.
Anyways, I just came from out there and OMG! :o

The cutting part is easy, you just gotta use the correct guard or else you might take off more hair than you wanted to. It's really hard to mess up if your're just doing a Caesar.
As for the line up, I've been doing it for a couple of years and I'm just now getting the hang of it. You just gotta be careful and if you mess it up, don't try too hard to fix it or else you'll mess it up even more.

I'm not going to comment on the video and song. I saw it last night and fell off the sofa.
She's quite a character at such a young age. I saw a picture of her the other day and thought she was Jaden. I've never been a parent, so I can't speak on parenting shoulds and should-nots, but too much of anything, freedom included, can turn out to be a bad thing.

She sounds like Rihanna.

I'm all for individuality. I really am.
One of the things I love most about my sister is that she lets my niece dress however she wants - which meant pink shorts, a blue and purple shirt with an orange design, and green, yellow and pink argyle knee-high socks last week. I love that my 6 year old niece is confident enough to express herself how she wants and not be intimidated or pressured into following trends or crowds. My sister told her the other day that she looked like Punky Brewster (we always tell her that) and she replied "Punky Brewster was like 40 years ago and you're still talking about her, right?"
I asked her once if anybody in her class laughs at her and she said that if they do, it's just because they want to be like her and don't have the skill to pull it off. :D :D :D
Yeah, I love that kind of confidence. I never had it as a kid and I don't have it now. But I think there's a limit... I'd have to draw the line at letting my kid cut all her hair off. That's just going too far.

One of the commenters said that it was ironic that she was singing about being yourself when she looked/acted just like her father and sounded just like Rihanna. :D
I expect her to look/act like her daddy, and I have no idea what Rihanna sounds like, so I had no comment.
-
I have no idea what Rihanna sounds like
I had a response to this, but it was so mean I couldn't even type it. Mature me, Lord. :D :D
I would post a video, but most of her songs are too vulgar for LGM.
-
There's her old stuff. That DJ thing... I always thought Rihanna looked like Tyra Banks and sounded like Beyonce with a cold.
I don't listen to her like that. All I know is the stuff on the radio. CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE CAKE... :D :D :D
-
I liked her when she FIRST came out with Mr.DJ (or whatever the title is). But, she really can't sing.
Her new stuff is kinda.... weird.

NRC,but here are all 20 NS heritage units ready for their big show starting tomorrow.

I have a question.
I haven't really been following this train stuff, but I can't help but see the pics. Is this some sort of festival or something that's going to end eventually, or are we always going to see train pics from now until forever? Like are these pics a tribute to something that's happening this year, like an anniversary or something? Or are they just random pics, news-related, always gonna be something new to share?
-
The heritage thing ended, Funk is just hanging on for dear life, lol.
Rihanna. SMH. When I saw her perform at the All-Star game ( I think?) I was like who in the world buys this stuff for their little girls to admire? The girl was dancing in basically underwear and grinding and grabbing herself and going on... I was embarrassed for her whole family. But I guess that's what passes for talent nowadays.
-
And yes, I realize I sound 90 years old. Been that way since I was 10 years old. :D
-
He said the big show is "starting" tomorrow.... so I'm wondering, how long does this show last? And when it's over, is there another show?
Basically.... what I'm really trying [not] to ask is.... when does it all end? :-[ :-\
Just curious.
-
Nessa, bump Rihanna. Did you see that doggone Willow??? What say you about that?
-
One of my FB friends said his son said, "Dad, that boy can really sing!" LOL!!!
I like her, I like how creative she is. I just can't with the hair cut.
And yeah, Will couldn't deny her if he tried.
-
Yeah that haircut is.... just.... :-\
I can't.
-
Wow, Willow looks so much like her dad, it's uncanny.
I actually kinda liked the song- until the end.

Same here. I had never heard her sing before (I've heard my niece singing the whip my hair song, but I'd never heard the actual song). I had a hard time accepting that that was really her singing. The vocals on this song are pretty good. I didn't know she could actually sing (assuming that's really her). It's a pretty cool song. I love the message. Gotta ask my niece what she thinks about it. I hope she doesn't see the video though. It might give her an idea for a new hairstyle. :o :D

Well....yes, there will be no new additions to the heritage fleet and this will likely be my last (I almost promise) post about them. I though it was a pretty cool pic and almost posted this in the random pictures thread, but since I've already bombarded you all with them here, I decided to continue the bombardment. But July 3rd and 4th is 'The Celebration At The Station' event at the NC Museum of Transportation' (http://www.nctrans.org/Events/NS-Heritage-Locomotives--A-Family-Portrait-July-3-.aspx) in Spencer that will feature these units. So after the 4th of July, the units will be sent out into the system to go about their daily duties and will likely remain in their special paint for a few years (btw, the paint they use can cost up to $55.00 a gallon!!!).
Haha! Now that really reminds me of Thomas and Friends. Cool stuff. I didn't know they actually did that for real. LOL the trains have very "Transformers"-looking "faces".
The roundhouse and turntable facilities are holdovers from the steam locomotive era. Diesels don't need to be turned and will perform the same weather running forwards or backwards. In fact, for a long time the Norfolk Southern had designated the long end of its locomotives as the "front".

Anderson Cooper is gay?

Where have you been that you didn't know this?
-
I'll be honest. I didn't know either, and I'm usually pretty good at knowing who's gay and who's straight. :-\
It just never crossed my mind. I can picture him with a wife and kids just like I can picture him with a hubby and kids. *shrug*
When I read the article yesterday, I wasn't the least bit surprised, but I can't say that I already knew.
-
meh.
wait.
"an around the word 2x snap"
meh.

I thought he came out a few years before Don Lemon, though.

Can someone please explain to me why people like Anderson Cooper feel the need to reveal their sexuality? I mean who cares what Anderson Cooper does behind closed doors?!? :D Just tell the stupid news and shutup. That may not be right but I just don't care about whether or not my news anchor is gay or str8. What does he want the people to do, give him a trophy for "coming out of the closet"....sheeeesh!! It's nobody's bidness....btjmho
-
You should read the article, Vonne. Anderson definitely wasn't bragging or even making an announcement.
-
Wow, Willow looks so much like her dad, it's uncanny.
I actually kinda liked the song- until the end.
oh, I missed the end. I only watched the first minute or so.
-

Oh then you didn't even see just how uncanny the resemblance got.... around the middle or so when she started imitating him (knowingly or unknowingly, I'm not sure)... it was.... just weird.

Ok, watched the Willow vid in it's entirety. I like her, but it's just freaky. As much as she looks like Will, she needs to have really girlie hair, LOL!!!!
-
I saw this whole video. Imo, the video and the song is boring. The best line is "Your validation it’s not just that important to me". I feel like that line came to her, she figured it would be great in a song, and tried to write a song around it.
As for her hair, I don't really care. I guess it's cause I have an aunt who's known to try various hairstyles and because a lot of black girls in my age range have gone for "The Big Chop". Granted, Willow probably has her hair like this because she wants to and not because she's trying to get rid of a relaxer. Whatever it is, it's not really that important to me. Imo, She looks like a pre-pubescent female version of her dad with or with out an abundance of hair. :-\

I couldn't bring myself to put this in the ticker, and I figure it's one of those things that nobody on earth really cares about except me, so....

It's not stretching mine. My browser must be resizing it or something. It doesn't look any wider than anyone else's avatar.
Must be your browser. What browser do you use?

I was on Firefox at work, and I'm on Chrome at home (yeah babyyyyyy.... y'all caught that rhyme? I'm just fly like that).
Yeah, it widened my left margin on both.
I think if berbie squared off his avatar it would probably resize properly. Remember when Country Mike had that huge full res avatar with that lady looking up at his posts with a "wut? I know you din't just say that..." expression?
*___________________________________________________________________________________*
I so love Country Mike. Y'all just don't know. :D I'm for real, too. That avatar was the truth!!! :D

Omg so I see we got messy Nessy again today huh? :D
The avatar issue is in the lobby not in a thread. There's a thread Betnich started so his avatar is on the left column but bc its wide, it stretches that side of the screen. Now go to bed, Nessa. Yes now. Lol.

sad :(
just looked up my 1994 vehicle with 230,000 miles on NADA. .... rough trade in base price was $675 ... because of the mileage they said it was only worth
$50

that alone proves to me trading in a vehicle is worthless. I just did a search on craigslist in my area I can't even buy ANY vehicle for around that amount...
i am not even sad any more ... i'm in the wrong business LOL i need to be a used car salesman LOL

NRC but I actually have to watch this video (and part II) and read a 30 page paper on the subject.
I literally feel like plucking the hair out of my head, one strand at a time, while simultaneously banging my head against a brick wall just before jumping over that wall onto the interstate.
Just press play for a few seconds. You'll see what I mean. I know nobody really cares, but humor me. Press play. Just for a minute.

Haha
Well feel free to summarize it for me. I can send you the paper as well, if you want to summarize that for me too. :) The question is: describe your understanding of the philosophy of science in the West based on the two videos and internet article. You can do that, Sketch. I know ya can.

I believe, for me, it's more of because I don't have an assignment due based on the information I MUST read, I can sit and watch this video versus if I were in LaRue's position.
I thought the video was interesting. At the same time, I wouldn't want to sit through 10 of them. At least, I don't think I would.
Also, again for me, I believe the British accent of the moderator made the video a bit more interesting.
-
^^^must be a man thing. :D
No seriously, the British accent is what made me want to bang my head. I usually love British accents. It's the reason I wanted to move to England for a while. But this guy reminds me of the "our solar system" guy in that Skittles commercial. Oh em gee!!!!! Kill me now!
(FTR, after the third time I watched and forced myself to take notes, I realized that it wasn't as bad as I thought [still pretty bad, but at least I understood it on the 3rd play]).
I should've showed y'all the article I had to read along with watching those two videos. Brutal, I tell ya. Brutal!

Maybe God just wanted me to rely on him only.

So I'm sure I've told you all about one of the guys who is on the praise team who likes to be "in control" of everything and you can't tell him anything because he "knows" it already. ::)
So, him and the keyboard player kinda got into it. Now let me tell you first, this guy NEVER knows the lyrics to songs and most times, his tempo is off.
On one particular song, the musicians stopped playing (they play around, but we kept singing) so one part that the guy sings, (I think he either sped it up or slowed down) he blamed it on the musicians. So he and the keyboard player got into it. They were cool afterwards. But I SO didn't expect that. He just thinks he knows it all, like you can't tell him anything. Smh. And he plays around, but wants to get serious when HE gets ready. Like dude.... have a seat!

Actually, it was a musician (two, in fact) that made me think of that. My friend is a musician (the one you met, Britt) and she has the shortest fingers I've ever seen. It actually grosses me out and I think I struggle to respect her because of those fingers. Well, that and the fact that she doesn't clean up after herself. *shrug*
Anyway, this morning, I was watching one of TCS' videos (I'm gonna find it after I post this) and they showed a shot of a keyboardist and my skin crawled at how short his lil stubby fat fingers were... AND his sleeves were too long so it really looked awful!
I guess I probably should get saved, huh? :-\

what weight oil are you running?
5W-20. I was experiencing rod knock which is a sign of oil starvation. A bad PCV valve can lead to excessive oil consumption and subsequent engine failure if not addressed. It was a cheap and easy fix especially compared to having to replace the engine. Within the next 500 miles or so, I plan on sending in a sample of the oil for an analysis to see if the Duratec didn't get beat up too badly.

NRC but I just figured out what this thread was about.
I made a rhyme too. :)

NRC...but being in college has its benefits. I'm doing some research, and one of the research papers that I need to study costs $31! So I went to my school's online research database, typed in my username and password, and BAM...got it for free (well, if you don't count tuition... :D)
But seriously, this database is amazing. It gives you access to practically every news article, research paper, etc. that has ever graced the interweb. I hope I get to retain access after I graduate.

Your retaining access is dependent on your school. I still have access to online databases through HU, despite having left there in 2007.

Yep. I use mine daily.
If you join a professional association, you'll be able to keep access (depending on the association). I am a member of the American Psychological Association, Law and Society Assoc and the Association of Black Psychologists, and each include similar access.

Well... if it wasn't ruined before, it's definitely ruined now...
That time when your mom says "No more noise until we get home!" and then you hiccup and a sibling says "Sssshhh" and then you say "SSSSSSHHH!" back, and then it's like "Mom said no talking..." "SH! Be quiet..." "No you!" "MOM SHE'S TALKING!" Everything would have been fine if they had just let that one hiccup go... >=(

If you had asked me 8 years ago...... Lol.
Dr. Kevin Bond is the pastor of the Citadel of Praise in Brooklyn, NY. He's best known for his participation and intros on James Hall's WAP CDs as well as VOC's two recordings.
Kevin Bond is a producer, songwriter and musician, and tweetaholic. He's best known for his priceless contributions to gospel music and for.... tweeting.
-
it was driving me nuts trying to figure that out.......thanks be to Google, lol
-
Speaking of Bonds, James Bond is a fictional character who was featured in the novels of Ian Flemming. There is a now-deceased James Bond, who was the father of an ex-girlfriend of mine.
Perfect thread for this post. :)

So I have a confession. I went to Biloxi, MS this morning and I arrived a bit earlier than I expected. With time to kill before the service I had to play for, I found a Starbucks, but it was inside of a hotel. So, I go inside and before I see the Starbucks, I see a big casino. I've never been in a casino and my curiosity got the best of me, so I went in and dollied around.
Yes...I went to the casino before service.
I only played one game, though. I actually won, too. Only $2, though. :D

I don't know of any non smoking casinos, at least not down south. We still have smoking sections in some of our restaurants too. Maybe its a southern thing.

our state went smoke-free a few years back, but the casinos fought and got an exemption for just the casino floor, not restaurants or other common areas, just the actual slots and tables. Cool with me because I only go for the food, lol.

The casino I went to last week (in MD) was smoke-free. Most, if not all, public places are smoke-free in MD. I don't know what the laws are in DC. But, now that I think of it, I haven't encountered any smoking inside any public facility.

I've been to the casino at the Hard Rock. You smell nothing but smoke soon as you walk in. It's just a bunch of old folk in there. *shrug*
This old dude tried to holla, I was pretty terrified. Like dude do you know you could be my dad? :-[ He kept telling me he wanted to take me out. He was like, "You are so beautiful, make me wanna buy you a steak" :D
Anyways, yeah.... I pretty much hate the casino. I don't know how to play any of the games anyway and..... I'm not a fan of gambling. *shrug*

In better news, I got a 100% on a very difficult test. But I'm still really bummed about this other class. I don't know how much I'll be penalized for being late, and I'm really concerned it might affect my grade in the class. Just really bummed out today.

Wow. I always hear people talking about that but it never happened to me...... until today. I ate too much at lunch Nd honest to god I was so miserable I got tears in my eyes. I felt like I was gonna burst open and then pass out. That was 4 hours ago and I still feel full. And still sleepy. I will never do that again.
-

Yeah, I've had that feeling before. It is terrible. Feels like your stomach is going to literally burst open.
It usually happens to me when I eat salad with goat cheese in it. I don't know why.

More like goat cheese intolerance. I really cannot stand that stuff.
When I eat fatty foods I feel heavy and lethargic. If I eat too much sugary stuff and then lay down for a long time, I get the "impending death" feeling. Dizzy, stomach imploding, and all that.
I've actually cut out fizzy drinks from my regular diet. I get literally depressed after drinking a can of soda or any kind of fizzy drink.
-
Man, I hate when that happens. And after the fact, you're like "Why did I take the remote with me to the microwave anyway???"

So, I'm in Columbus GA today and I find out that they're showing Batman Dark Knight Rises in IMAX...FOR FREE! So you can guess where I am right now. I'm supposed to take my brother and cousins, so I guess I'll just have to see it twice. Couldn't pass this up.

I have no idea. It's not a movie theatre, it's some kind of museum that has an IMAX theatre in it. There are a lot of military people here, so maybe it has something to do with that. They're not in the theatre, though, just around the museum.

Okay, so apparently the free Dark Knight movie was too good to be true after all, LOL. The site listed The Dak Knight, but as I'm sitting in the theatre, some movie about some animated owls begins playing (Legend of the Guardian?). I thought it was like a pre-show, but after 30 minutes I figured out it was a full movie. By that time I was too into it to leave. I was wondering why there were so many kids in there. Apparently Dark Knight isn't actually showing until 2:15...and it ain't free, lol.
I'm here now, though. Only the Bat could make me sit through TWO movies on the same day.

NRC, but I just don't understand how people can eat American cheese!!! That stuff is nasty; cheddar is THE best!
-
Some people can taste the positive side of American cheese, not just the negative. "That stuff is nasty" is an opinion, not a fact, unfortunately.
So is 'Cheddar is the best.' *kanyeshrug*
-
pepper jack.
all. de. way.

Cheddar and provolone ftw.
Every now and then I crave a piece of gouda.

As a stand-alone product, I'm not a big fan of cheese. I'm not even a small fan of cheese. However, mixed with the right food (macaroni, pizza, etc.), I more than just tolerate it.

Sketch, my man.......it IS a fact. The only "positive" side of so-called American cheese is its patriotic name (and its convenient pre-sliced, individually wrapped packaging). But as a child, that stuff would actually make me vomit.

Just a lot of disappointments. I was supposed to be vacationing in Gulf Shores this weekend, but that's been scrapped due to the recent death in the family. I've been moving all day...finally get to my new apartment and the key doesn't work. Get that fixed, walk in and there is NO furniture here. Plus some other things that I don't really feel like discussing right now. Just don't feel like I'm in control of my life right now.
But it's fine. I learned a long time ago not to allow myself to wallow in despair for too long. I only have about an hour left... :D

Just saw a picture on Twitter that...well, let's just say I don't think I'll be ordering McDonalds' chicken nuggets for a while. :-X
-
I remember when they were using ostrich meat in those things. lol. When I was a kid, we'd drive past on ostrich farm on the way to school everyday.
I find that kinda hard to believe.... it's not like ostrich meat would be cheaper than chicken/chicken stuff... what would be the incentive for using ostrich? :-\
-
Just saw a picture on Twitter that...well, let's just say I don't think I'll be ordering McDonalds' chicken nuggets for a while. :-X
I remember I used to eat them things 5 days a week. I'm glad I kicked that habit. They taste nasty to me now.
-
I don't put anything past fast food places. I just think it would be weird for them to substitute a cheap meat with an expensive one. I'm not sure I understand why they would do that.
But on the subject, I pretty much stopped eating McD's with that pink slime article. Since then, I've eaten there 3 times and had the filet-o-fish meal each time. The other 2-3 times I had fast food, it was Wendy's. But at this point, I'm glad to say I have zero confidence in any public eateries, so my eating out is minimal. I'm even weaning myself slowly (very slowly....lol) off of prepared food items from the grocery store. That's gonna be a hard one because my pantry is full of stuff like Rice-a-Roni and Hamburger Helper. I'm really gonna start making my own stuff from scratch. I have absolutely no reason to trust any of these food making folks, and I need somebody to explain to me where all these new ailments and age-5 puberty cases are coming from.
With all that said, I doubt I'll ever give up McD's french fries. That's just going too far.

I thought the pink slime article was saying "they don't use pink slime anymore".
McNuggets were actually a big influence in my decision to become a vegetarian: Those things were nasty and had a horrible texture in 1993 >.<
The Morningstar Farms Chikn Nuggets, however, were nice and crispy and tasty. :q
Then, come to find out, back then McNuggets were almost more "veggie" than "meat", lol.
I got some buffalo ones in the freezer I need to eat...

Yes, that's what the article said. However, realizing that it was in there all along was just the wake-up call I needed. It reminded me that we exercise a tremendous amount of faith and confidence in these people without having a clue what they're serving us. We have no idea what we're really eating, but we eat it anyway. That really goes for anything that's packaged and sold, particularly if it has additives or preservatives in it. We don't know what this crap is. We just trust them and eat it.

HDTV has ruined television watching. These 'old' trusted sportscasters have no choice but to get plastic surgery to 'look young' in order to keep their jobs. It's sad because they look. a. hot. mess!!
For example, Bob Costas doing the Olympics. Bruh, I feel SO badly for you.
It's a shame that good journalism takes a back seat to eye-candy/youth/whatever. :-\

Is it really HDTV? Or is it society?
-
the debate could go both ways
-
Is HDTV influencing society to be shallow, or is HDTV a result of societies shallow expectations?
HDTV is the result of technological advances
-
Yeah, I think this stuff started long before HDTV (like with airbrushing in magazines, etc) but HDTV may have caused it to impact other areas or brought it to a different audience's view.

I'll say "good" is a relative term. HDTV is that different. You see stuff in an HD broadcast (on an HDTV) that you won't see in standard definition. The other day, wifey and I were noticing the difference in the coloration of different actor's teeth. LOL. So, guys like Costas, who are aging, you will notice the new wrinkles, sun spots and grey hairs easily with an HDTV. Unfortunately, that also works against them when they have some type of augmentation. That's just as noticeable too!

If the annoying be unaware of their annoyance, who then is not an annoying person?

I typed something, but I couldn't get my words together, so I'll just keep it to myself. It was along the lines of what LL said, but from a woman's perspective. Oh well... either way, I agree with LL and would add that there's really no way for this to end badly, so you may as well go for it.

Well what I mean is that even if she's not interested, it's still not a bad thing because it moves her out of the way (of his mind/heart) so he can find the right one. What I typed and erased was that often, the ones who aren't interested end up being your best friend/favorite sister/godmother of your kids, etc. :D So you don't really lose, you win... you may not see it in the moment, but in the big picture, you win.

I'm not a phone person either. Usually, if I call it's for a purpose. Once that purpose is stated, I like to get off the phone. LOL. Oddly, though, I tend to have great conversations. I guess it's because I'm a good listener, and often the person on the other end will say something that makes me ask a question...which makes them talk that much longer.

My goal with most (all?) telephone conversations is to keep it under 5 minutes.

Ever since I moved into my place, I've been hearing this beeping sound. It's a constant beep every 2 seconds and I cannot, for the life of me, figure out where it's coming from. I only hear it when I'm in my room, but it sounds like it's outside of the room. I'm thinking it might be in the room above me. IT IS DRIVING ME NUTS!!!!!!!!!
Seriously, yall pray that it stops. I may lose it.
-
It's probably a neighbor's smoke detector or carbon monoxide detector. Is it really every 2 seconds??
It could also be a medical device. Or a watch?

Seriously every 2 seconds. It's constant. No pauses or anything. It's especially bad when I'm trying to sleep. And when I try to stand still to figure out where it's coming from, it sounds like it's moving. It can't be in this room. It has to be somewhere outside or upstairs.

That's how I feel about discovering (or finally getting turned onto) Hulu.

Soo... I was supposed to be doing this lil girls hair at 2, right? She never came. My friend just called me and asked if I was still gonna do her hair. I said she was supposed to be here at 2. She said yeah I know she was running late (Me thinking: Why not call if you were running late?). I told her I had to go pick up my check at 4:30 and get Moriah from school. So she was like "so are you gonna do her hair or what? I told her no, I'll do it tomorrow. Then she goes "girl you don't wanna make no money". I hung up on her. Like how you get mad at ME?! Girl bye! ::)

I'm trying an experiment this week. From Monday-Friday, between the hours of whenever I wake up and 8:00 p.m., I'm going to use the time I usually use to screw around on the interweb to, instead, do my work. So, whenever I get an impulse to check Twitter, Facebook, LGM, other forums, I'm instead going to do my work. Whether it be in class, on the way to class, eating lunch, whatever...I'm using that time to write and study. I have all of my documents on my phone which is with me at all times, so there's no excuse.
So, if all goes well, y'all won't be hearing from me much this week.

UPDATE: two days down, three more to go. One thing I've learned is that replacing idle time with productivity makes the day seem fuller. By the time 8:00 p.m. hits, I feel like I could go to bed because I've completed all of my assignments for the day. Obviously I'm going to make a habit out of this. Another discovery is that, when the time-period has concluded and I'm free to hop back on social media, I don't really want to. The appeal is lost by that time.
In other news, I see the LGM drought has continued. I expected to log in and see a boatload of missed posts. Lord help us. :-\

I just realized how stubborn I am with my writing. Had to work in groups today in PR writing to complete a memo, and I ha to work with a girl that's a bit of a know-it-all. Nice girl, but we were butting heads like crazy. I was picking apart her writing, telling her to take out words like "on" Sunday and make her sentences less wordy, etc. It was bad writing, but she wanted to defend it. She's my partner in two classes, so this should be an interesting partnership.

Don't nobody really care and all, but........
I am of the opinion that the Galactic Empire would have had a better chance for success if its leadership had good management training. Its corporate culture valued brutal strength and power, but lacked the sensibilities needed to bring out the best of its human resources. Darth Vader, for example, would have done well to have spent some time on Wall Street. Not only would he have been a powerful Sith Lord, but he also could have been a stellar senior level executive manager with vast contributions to the success of major organization. Then, after the Empire had attained its goal of galactic domination, Vader could have moved into the private sector; perhaps using his talent as President of Bank of America making them a strong and viable financial institution. You see? Bad guys just don't think!

It's always, crucified, sacrificed, or the ubiquitous 'slain'.

Because Jesus specifically said that no man could take his life. He has the power to lay it down and take it up again.

i did think of that, but "slain" is the equivalent of "killed".

Yo, TJ, I know nobody cares, but, you being a big fan of the Caped Crusader, I was just curious as to how you feel about the direction the DCU has taken in regards to the Batman and his legacy. What with Wayne being dead and all, Damian Wayne, Black Lanterns and all that.
Honestly, I don't keep up with the current stuff. I stick to the classics. I don't like reading about a Batman that's not Bruce Wayne (or me) and I think the new villains are corny and lack the depth of the older guys. I understand the need to reinvent, though.

so wait, in DC canon, Bruce is dead? when did this happen?

NRC: ain't this something .. doing my rough-in for my plumbing to our bathroom. A while back while doing the electrical i realized there was a HVAC duct running where I wanted to install a light switch. Well lo and behold I didn't think ahead but this same blasted duct is in the way is in the way for the drain line to the second vanity >:( now i have to move everything so where I had about 60" to work with now I am down to 48" ... I could go with two small 19" sinks ... and have a small shelf inbetween roughly 10"....
I could have somethi|g like

I was listening to Rip Daniels on "It's a new Day" radio broadcast and found out through his urging that Mississippi didn't ratify the 13th Amendment to abolish slavery until 1995 :o and they didn't officially remove the Jim Crow Laws until 2009 :o. So quite naturally my next move was to see how my home state (Alabama) stood. They ratified in 1865, whew. At least we aren't as bad them. :)

Great news everyone....I have more stuff that nobody really cares about to share with you :D! This 1990 photo from my own personal collection shows a former B&O SD50 leading an empty coal train near Hyattsville, MD. The B&O ceased to exist as a corporate entity in 1987 as it was folded into CSX Transportation. The SD50 locomotives are of some historical significance for several reasons:
* They were the last new locomotives to be delivered in the Chessie System paint scheme.
* Of the 144 units purchased by CSX Corp., the 20 that were assigned to the B&O were the last ever B&O locomotives to be delivered (#8595 was the last unit - the unit I captured was the 2nd to last). Of course, the B&O itself was America's first common-carrier.
* They were numbered in numerical sequence with the Seaboard System Railroad's SD50's which was an early sign that an eventual consolidation of CSX's railroads was imminent.

-
i wonder if that is the train i buy when I play monopoly
Yes....the B&O, Pennsylvania, and Reading were all real railroads.
In 1963, the Chesapeake & Ohio Railway (C&O) gained control of the B&O. But rather than merging the two roads right away, the B&O was kept as a separate entity for a number of years until 1987 when the C&O completed its acquisition of the historic company. The merger was initially referred to as an "affiliation", but in 1973 the company made a move to give it a more unified image. Thus, Chessie System Railroads was formed as a holding company to manage the rail assets of the C&O which included the B&O and the jointly owned Western Maryland Railway Co.

oh google voice why are you so picky
please let me connect if you will, I won't make too many calls maybe only 20 - 50 a month.
(to be fair I did actually succeed by making a phone call using google voice but not in the manner I wanted) I am trying to set up a telephony server to make calls to members of my church if a meeting is canceled. I want to use google voice as the VOIP provider. But so far the different software packages I have used I have not been able to both make a call and able to have a message recorded and then replayed to all the members.... gotta keep plugging away I know it is possible I am just cheap :D and don't feel like paying if I don't have to (paying in time though)

BATTER UP!
getting the call was easy, starting to get the hang of this!
putting together the interactive voice thingy (IVR)
I think i figured out how to make it secure, however I still haven't quite thought through how to actually have someone record a message, and then call the right people and play said message .... maybe I should just call callingpost and listen to how they are set up ... hmm
Anyway just finished watching craigslist joe thought it would put me to sleep but it didn't kind of touching. at least to me about to go browse craigslist right now! Never mind that I need to get up for work tomorrow LOL

YES! To God Be The Glory!
I had no idea how to do any of the things but this being the information age I have successfully called my google voice number, left a message, and had the computer then send the recorded message to my wife! YES! Total money spent = $0
Time invested umm I think I started this about a month ago ... lets say I averaged 1 hour a day (I had a lot of failed attempts and there was a learning curve) so about 30 - 31 hours? ... at the federal minimum wage level that is 7.25*30 = $217.50 ... hmm maybe I should've just paid someone LOL!
Especially since google voice may only be around for 2013 ... lets see (sorry I am rambling now)
callingpostmessage costs $0.06 per call for a 35 second message.
How many calls are necessary before $217.50 is spent?
$217.50
$0.06
is 3625 calls ...
... I attend a small church LOL, 30 calls a month would be more than sufficent to let people know if there were any last minute changes or to remind everyone about a special event LOL
but if I attended a larger church than this would make more sense ...
Oh well maybe I will put something on craigslist to see if I can make some money doing this since I learned how to do it

final testing was a success, all four calls went through going to present it to my church to see if they want to use it (they may not since we are so small) Then I just need to find a pretty voice for the prompts the ones provided sound like your voice mail and my voice sounds like a robot :( no serious it does think of a nerdy robot and you have my voice LOL okay maybe not that high pitch but you pretty much got it

It asked me if I had a goal for a weight or I could leave it blank and it would suggest a goal... So I left it blank ... it suggested that I should weigh 150lbs ...
I haven't weighed 150lbs in like 10 years! At 150lbs my wife was complaining that my hip and ribs were bony and wasn't comfortable. ... yeah going to readjust that goal ... I think I just want my body fat % to be between 10-15%.

So after having had their day in the sun during the company's 30th anniversary celebration in Spencer, NC last summer, they are now out and about earning their keep with the rest of Norfolk Southern's engine fleet and do not receive any special treatment. Hopefully, the heritage diesels will serve Norfolk Southern for many more years without any mishaps or premature retirements.....Yes y'all, the trains are back ;)

Well perhaps, but at least you don't have to give up trains to walk uprightly before the Lord. Plus you don't have to keep an eye over you shoulder in case the wife or kids walk in on you while you're on the computer. :)

They still do, in a few places. This is known as "street running" where you have rails embedded into the pavement. There is also a similar arrangement where you have a dedicated railroad right-of-way in the middle of a street, but the tracks are not embedded. BTW, the train always has the right-of-way. Here is one of the more active examples located in West Brownsville, PA. Norfolk Southern still operates the line.

What I think my fellow LGMer TJ is trying to say is it may be more helpful to actually name the chord and an example of where (and in what key) to use it when you post it. That way, you're not just posting random chords with no purpose....

Hey stargazers, get ready for a blue moon tonight — though it’s likely not the kind you’re thinking of.
First: No, the moon will not actually be blue. Second: This is not the second full moon in the month of August, the definition most people probably think of.
Instead, when Tuesday’s full moon rises to its peak at 9:45 p.m. eastern time, it’ll be a “seasonal blue moon” — the third of four full moons in a season. A seasonal blue moon hasn’t happened in nearly three years, EarthSky reports.

Awe Brother Brown we lost. Since I had no vested interest your team had become my team. The Royals still had a phenomenal year. Hopefully it wasn't a one time thing and the guys will become more hungry in the future.

I live here, but I'm not a Giants fan... or a baseball fan at all for that matter.

Okay so I've grabbed me a new pickup selector switch (instead of a prewired pickguard like I had considered years ago).
Basically I'm wanting to make it a Master Volume, Neck Tone, Middle+Bridge Tone setup. But i realized that doing this will change the way the bridge+middle position sounds when adjusting the knob, because it will be bringing down the bridge and middle and not just the middle..
Can anyone just give me an idea of how significant the effect will be and just give me a general description of how it would sound compared to the original "vintage" wiring setup?

I have no clue. I just wanted to respond because someone actually does care, despite the title of the thread. ;D

You mean to tell me......that you actually USE your tone knob? Wow; you're an amazing man. For most of us, the tone controls are basically decorations :).

Before we had all these fancy high-tech machines, it was up to men like these to keep America's rails rolling strong:

And now....the continuing saga of Norfolk Southern's heritage fleet. This time, they didn't go shopping for new power, but rather revived an old, retired EMD SD40 and dressed her up in the classic Southern Railway "tuxedo" scheme. Behold.....this is a TRUE heritage unit:

Recently played laser tag and was disappointed that my score had little to do with me not getting hit and more to do with hitting my targets. You should lose points if you get hit. Kinda like a basketball game. If you score and give up a score, you are back to zero.

Nobody really cares.....well, I don't but in actuality a lot of teenaged girls do......but Zayne Malik is leaving One Direction. My girls are crushed (but I told them; these bands don't last forever).
