I can't tell you how nice it was to open my office window today and let that 77 degree weather in today.

    I think the essay is "going viral" as they say. I have gotten close to 400 emails. My blog is blowing up. It's being shared all over LI and the FB sharing is unbelievable. I may have put a nail in the

Do you listen to Wilco a lot in your office?

 

Specifically, Yankee Hotel Foxtrot?

LOL, Wilco Towers.

Did you take that picture in the 1960's?

Wow, you can tell they're white.

Not all Republicans are racist. In fact, most aren't, but I think more Republicans need to speak out a little more and condemn the racist subset of their group that ultimately makes Republicans in general look ignorant.

^^Wait, your office window opens?

Only slightly more recently.....  I used an iStone.

Yessir.  There's also a balcony and fire escape you can walk out on.  Plenty of forumers have taken advantage of this photo opportunity.  I plan to stop by the office tomorrow for this!!

Ahh, it has that golden tinted tone one gets in mid century photos and postcards.

I used the app "Instagram" for iphone which applies filters for that vintage effect to make cell phone photos a bit more interesting.  An Android version is soon to be available.

easily the best march madness sign!

I'm in such a great mood today!

 

[*]Mr. & Mrs. Thing 2 welcome a new child into the world this morning.  She's a week late, but made for a grand entrance.  She's already a Jr. Diva in training!

[*]Mr. Fussy Pants says a new word. "Douche" although he meant "Ducha".  Nothing like having a 15 month say, in public, "you Douche"  LOL

[*]The couple that likes my house, made another offer, which I immediately rejected.  They are get closer to my target number.

[*]If these people do present me with a serious offer, I think I found my new crib.

I like this LOL.  I'm definitely pro-sprawl, but people who buy a house shouldn't be making a stink about what was already next door, whether it's a farm, a business, or whatever.

Sh!t people say to ME (and I'm sick of hearing it all the time)

 

"Remember when you used to work out all the time and were more cut/buff?"

"Is your name Russian? Oh, it's Japanese. How did you get that name? Were you concieved on a motorcycle?"

"You look like [Eminem/Toby McGuire/Ewin McGregor]"

"You have a cowlick"

"Can I shave your unibrow"

"I've never known you to be in a long-term relationship. Are you GAY?"

"Why do you walk everywhere? You're going to get robbed..."

"Oh, I forgot, you have two brothers that are part black. I didn't offend you when I said the word, "N!gger" did I?"

"You guys are brothers? You look nothing alike!"

 

 

I'd love to hear the "Sh!t people say to you". You know those questions or comments you have to hear on a daily or weekly basis that just irritate the hell out of you? Especially the questions because you have to explain the same thing over and over again...

I just received notice that the family reunion will be memorial day weekend, so...

 

"How is Jennifer?" (long term relationship that ended 4yrs ago)

"How is your father?" (My father stopped talking to me last fall so this should be fun)

"You look just like ..." (We have some ~100 year old family group photos and folks think I look like my great great or great great great grandfather because I have wavy hair and tan well)

"Do you know Spanish yet?" (My mother's cousin is always trying to recruit me as his migrant worker manager for some reason.)

"How are your nephew's doing?" (My nephews have a very difficult seizure disorder and people constantly ask of them even though they're at the reunion with their parents)

Oh God, that is going to suck. lol. I know how those functions go. Good luck with that.

1940 Census released today, so far no luck on the website. It keeps locking up..

I guess i could have posted this in the Pet Peeves thread, or perhaps the weather one.... regardless, Big Brother in Euclid has been so very annoying lately. It's not like I don't just go to my phone to visit whatever site I want to visit. They can't stop that (for now). Its just more convenient on the puter. So long productivity.

 

 

I hope nobody uses that as an avatar

Got enough tool bars??

If you mean "tabs," then maybe. If you mean one, than yes because that is all I have and I mainly use that instead of a media player to play my music from last.FM; if you mean "Does MTS need glasses for his tired old man eyes?" Then absolutely.

I turned 46, two days ago, cut me some slack!  Damnit!  All those damn tabs look like tool bars! Hell!

I'll be that number in December.... I think

Why thank you.  Wish 8shades a happy bday also, we share the same amazing day!

Happy belated Birthday, MTS!

 

Actually, it's "belated happy birthday," not "happy belated birthday." His birthday happened right on schedule; the greeting was belated.

 

So, you have my belated wish for a happy birthday, MTS! Just bear in mind -- after a certain point it's difficult to greet new birthdays with enthusiasm, until  you contemplate the alternative.

Good eye!  Most people wouldn't even have noticed, let alone spent the time and effort to point out and correct my error.  Thanks!

Happy Birthday MTS

I forgot to wish everyone a Happy Passover/Good Friday!  I can eat meat again! LOL

Uh oh, were you stuck eating only fish?

Yeah. I also gave up sugar, salt and carbs for lent!  Now I really don't miss sweets and my abs look fabulous!

So lettuce and fish??? What else was left to eat.

Well now I can be a carnivoire again!  Plus my grandparents are here in NYC,  for their "spring break", so I'll be eating well for the 10 days!

If ever the words "there's your sign" were needed, it is right there.

So many wrongs going all over the place

 

I just realized my "supporting member" or whatever it's called ran out.  How do I renew it?  I can't seem to figure it out.  Do I just go to the donation page?  Wasn't there a separate link to become a supporting member?

Most Soldiers do get a couple weeks of leave halfway through a deployment.

The link is at the top right of the main page.

Got it - thanks - I'm back!!!

A certain business owner who I designed a logo for, agreed to pay me in royalties vs. a flat fee for T-shirts that I'm designing for his patrons. The problem is that I have no idea what the going-rate is for somehting like that. All I know is that it better be worth my time!!

 

I realized later, the amount of money I make depends on HIS marketing, HIS management and crew, HIS price-points; HIS vendors, and so many other factors that are completely out of my control. Advice, anyone? Maybe I should just tell this dude I want to go with flat-fee alongwith a retainer but I feel so empowered by actually getting this guy to go with paying me royalties  8-). Hardly ANYONE is willing to pay you in royalties for a project like this. It's seriously going to be a b!tch, on his company's part.

You know what's crazy? I saw the news this morning at work on the little flat screen. They did this little bit on the Secret Service Scandal; apparently like 13 Secret Service members brought whores to their hotel rooms and some of them refused to pay full price, (like, since women were servicing two members, the agents thought they should be able to split the $50 price, not pay $50 each or some nonesense.)

 

The story lasted maybe ten seconds, like it's not even a big deal and ya' know what? It's not. I'm so desensitized to government scandals that I've become comfortably numb to it.  I'm not even surprised. Iran-Contra? Oliver North-Bin-Laden? CIA Jet crashes in Mexico with 4 tons of pure Cocaine and now CIA stands for Cocaine Importing Agency? YAWN!

 

The next story lasted like 20 seconds. Someone has apparently gotten away with stealing a Penguin from the Columbus Zoo and somehow they have no idea who did it? I think it was an inside job, personally. I was appaulled! All of a sudden I blurted out, "Who f-ing does that!?!?!?" I mean really, where are you going to keep a penguin anyway? You better have a walk-in freezer so you can recreate his habitat or that's just animal cruelty. Bastards..

Do you have the agreement in writing, preferably notarized and hopefully reviewed by an attorney?
