I think I just figured out why a 3rd person in a relationship is so common (unlike common sense) these days or to be more blunt "why people cheat". I work for a customer service dept in mthis company where many companies call looking for payment on their invoices. What amazes me is how often people say "I have a couple of invoices I need to check" but in reality they usually mean they have 3 invoices to check (I'd say about 90% of the time). Last I checked "couple" was defined as "a pair" as in ...
I was trying to post an article earlier and the program I use first failed to upload but after a second attempt it went thru. When I went to check the site it was showing the "code pigeons" error page. I just went back and it was up but not as it was before. It seems that any replies done today are currently not showing on the site. Joeuser.com has gone back in time to yesterday. Ironic since I just happen to be listening to a Star Trek Voyager episode dealing in temporal distortions, time chang...
A co-worker sent me a very nice email and I thought it would be a great idea to share with everyone here. " XEROX IS DOING SOMETHING COOL If you go to this web site, www.LetsSayThanks.co m you can pick out a thank you card and Xerox will print it and it will be sent to a soldier that is currently serving in Iraq. You can't pick out who gets it, but it will go to a member of the armed services. How AMAZING it would be if we could get everyone we kn...
You know, it's amazing how now matter how bad things seem, there is always a glimmer of light that gives hope. I tend to look at todays society and see more of the things I dislike than of those I wish was more common. Kindness can sometimes be hard to find these days. People at the store can be rude, selfish and sometimes just down right stupid. Don't get me started on those on the road or online. How often do you come across someone who's kind enough to help an old lady with her bags (unless y...
You know there are some things I will never understand about some people. But one thing that bites me the most is when my own family and friends chose to go with people who they think know about computers rather than me who they know I am basically a computer geek. A while back my sister in law had a problem with her PC. I'm the kind of guy who tries to fix PC issues without having to reinstall Windows and such. It's a pain to have to back everything up and put it back afterwards. I don't min...
It's amazing how fast things can get bad these days. Economy still having trouble, unemployment continues to rise and everything is still expensive. Even if you're lucky enough to keep your job, things like bonuses and raises are as likely as winning the lottery 3 times in a row. So, when things get tough, how far are you willing to go to improve your situation? Me? I find myself doing things I don't normally do. I've been playing the lottery every week (fantasy 5, Florida lotto, megaball)...
My mom makes a great Thanksgiving meal. It's a shame I don't get to enjoy it much these days since we live too far from each other. Sure, this is nothing a 2 hour flight can't fix, but times are tough and even when things weren't bad I could never make it; now seems almost impossible. I enjoy cooking but have never tried to make my own recipes of any kind. I make a mean Lasagna but have never bothered to write it down. Heck, most of the stuff I use is premade but lately I have tried to make m...
The truth hurts, we all know that. But what do you do about it? Do you take it like a man (no insult to women intended) and accept you are either wrong or that someone just has a difference of opinion from you or do you deny their opinion and when they persist you simply shut them up and shut them out? For the years I have been on JU, I have always felt that the Blacklisting feature on JU had a more specific purpose than just to blacklist people for not agreeing with you. If you spend enoug...
People have a funny way of changing their minds when they get what they want only to find out that is not what they wanted. Take our current system of Gov’t, Democracy. Democracy: majority rule: the doctrine that the numerical majority of an organized group can make decisions binding on the whole group Supposedly the way it’s suppose to work is “majority” gets to make the rules, kinda like everything else. If there are 5 people, you go to a vote. Strangely eno...
I was wondering if anyone here would be willing to make an image for me that i need for a blog. I would like it to have a nice aerial view of the US with the American Flag and the words Proud American in it somewhere nice. The image needs to be 736 X 229 pixels. Would someone here be willing to do this for me? Does not need to be perfect, just nice. I have no image skills and I won’t be able to pay for it so your generosity would be greatly appreciated. You can even put your name in ...
Patrick Swayze has passed away. Good bye Patrick, you gave us some good dance moves and some pretty good movies. May you rest in peace and keep dancing in the heavens. Link
When is it proper to hold people accountable for their “mistakes” when opening their mouths and spewing ignorant and unprofessional comments about other people? My opinion? The moment they open their mouths and spewing ignorant and unprofessional comments about other people.Is an apology acceptable every time something like this happens? The culprit this time? One of Obama’s members of the CZARS family, Van Jones. The only reason I care about the comments of an idiot like this is because h...
I have a simply request for everyone who reads this regardless of party affiliation, race, gender, culture or religious belief. This current Administration has taken it upon itself the task of fixing every problem this country has. Now as much as we all would love to make the wrongs right in a snap, it would be logical to agree that this current Administration is very misguided in its belief that the problems this country faces (current and past ones) are problems that can be fixed overnight, wh...
OK, MJ was a great artist, the man could sing, the man could dance, the man could rock any stage he got on and any music video he made. The man was able to do what very few 80's or 70's artist were able to accomplish; continue to be a sensation, a must see, a big ticket decade after decade. But I think our love for this artist populatiry is being atken too far and by who other than Al Sharpton. I mean come on, does every Black person that accomplishes something good need to have postage stamp...
I'm not sure what the problem is. I started hanging around JU about 5 years ago and found it interesting to write articles about things I believed in and was willing to debate with others about. As time went by it got harder to write something and even harder to finish something I had started to write. I recently started using this program called Zoundry Raven to post articles on JU. It's hasn't been perfect, causing problems when I view the article online from the main page, but it's a prett...
