I think I need a new avatar.
One of the blogs reminded me of my favorite billboard. In big letters it says "Got Balls?" and in smaller letters underneath it says "We've got gowns.":lol::lol::p
Above post reminded me of the ad campaign, "Got Milk?" which I HATE! No, I do not. I hate milk! :sick:
I wonder how they roll cigars. I think i'll go look that one up.
Love is something you grow into, much like your laughter.
sure wish I could find a job.
Carrying 2 months of cans shopping on your back is a bad bad bad idea take note kiddies so you dont end up crippled like stupid night here!
Computer keyboards in Demark = mono going crazy!
It took me some 30 minutes just to type an analysis on a short passage from Mrs. Dalloway by Virginia Woolf, for crying out loud! I consider myself an above-average typist, but this has driven me mad.
:lol: ...
mono you can switch the keyboard to american as long as you know how to touch type.
:D
*sigh*
Ah, my Queen of Smileys, I would if I could, but I have gotten used to it a bit. Most of it seems the same, but I trip on keys like 'æ,' 'ø,' 'µ,' and '£.' I will conform somehow, though I feel a bit bitter about my laptop having some errors with its WiFi . . . grrrr! As sub said in another thread, I will likely get back to the States and, after getting so accustomed to these keyboards, think the American keys unstructured and confusing. :rolleyes:Quote:

The big bag con.
Ok, so as of May 1st a lot of the supermarkets around here have started charging 5c per bag - they are doing this under the pretense of being being environmentally responsible and encouraging customers to bring their own bags. I might buy this if the charge was only applied to plastic bags, but they charge for paper ones too - also the money is going into the store's backpocket and not to any environmental cause to determine ways to reduce landfill use (bags are recyclable)
I did some quick math and here is the extra revenue the stores are generating, but first some reasoned assumptions:
Average of 4 bags per customer - I am using an arbitary number here, but do not think it is absurd as for every person coming in and only leaving with one bag you can find someone doing a weeks shopping for a family and leaving with 10
Average of 950 customers per day - I work in retail in this town and am very familiar with number of transactions per day, this is a very conservative estimate
so now the figures:
$0.05 x 4 x 950 = $190/day x 365.25 = $69,397.50/year in extra income! Wow!!!
In considering all profitable occupations, I have come to the conclusion that business of conducting business itself is king and CEO's truly have it all.
Does anybody remember the litnet store thread???
which one papaya?
Life as i know it is over forever

But That is not what I dug this thread out for.
HEAR ME! All people living in the UK with children/siblings/nices /nephews/godchildren under the age of 11.
Get down to your local library and sign your kids up for quest seekers summer reading challenge. All they have to do is read 6 books over the holiday ( or rather by september 12) and they get a medal and a certiofcate. pluss there are cool freebie and most libraries will be carrying out kiddies events to tie in during the summer.
Plus I think there will be tie ins with BBC7 (radio) children's book club programme Bigtoe.
SO yes lots of distraction for kiddys this summer GO To the library!!
I'm aliiiiiive!
whooo hoooooo
It nice to go on the internet during my madness. Makes it look like I'm actually sane. :)
they do not know it, but they are doing it
Well, this is one of the spammiest threads I've ever seen.
Anyway, here's a quote I came up with yesterday:
It only becomes odd when you try to make sense of it.
i got to pack my luggage............
i should start studying
It is hard to become a truly good man, perfect as a square in hands and feet and mind, fashioned without blame. Whosoever is bad, and not too wicked, knowing justice, the benefactor of cities, is a sound man. I for one will find no fault with him, for the race of fools is infinite. ... I praise and love all men who do no sin willingly; but with necessity even the gods do not contend. (Simonides of Ceos)
"none" "in" "picture" - these magnet-words fell from my refrigerator this afternoon - not exactly cryptic, considering my whole grain Cheerios this morning spelled "ooooooo."
"say what you think, but make sure everyone thinks the same!"
I think my pinky toe looks weird...
