Displaying 31 To 60 Of 908 Comments Well, I’ve spilled the sack of beans. Let’s just see how the evening progresses. Fuck them if they can’t take a joke. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 6:02 pm Taking things at face value. Why we get caught by trolls and others. People often want to hear what they deep down need to find in their own lives. That is why it is easy to fool them. Some trolls are smart enough to present what you feel comfortable with and make you think they are witty and clever, all the time that they are slowly disemboweling you. That is talent. It » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 6:00 pm TanzaniteDiamonds: Hey, thanks for the kind greeting the other morning over there. I’m so used to keeping my head down over there because of the love Rob S has for me, among others, that to come out, say who I am, list all my former aliases, is quite a risk. Suprised that the sock is still there. Guess they can’t figure out that “Raz” was a MONK. No, HP just reminds me of the playground as a child. The clique-ee groups, the bullies, the ostricized ones, etc. Sort of sad. And the playground monitors are more than a little lost. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 12:02 pm KK, speaking of in-country, did you catch last week’s Bill Moyer’s Journal. He had Oliver Stone on, and Stone was talking about his own experiences there and how it relates to the world today, including Afghanistan. I have other friends who were there, but Stone came off very clear on the learning experience. Some people still can’t communicate about it. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 11:05 am Cliques, Pepe? There are groups which I have started to refer to as Chatty Cathy’s. Nice people but the real content level is pretty low. “Oh, I want to send out a big wave to XXX” » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 11:00 am KK, that is one of the reasons that I’ve always had difficulty hanging around in some locales, where if you aren’t absolutely, totally for them then you’re against them. I’ve always felt that personal values cannot be embraced only from one menu, so I have some conservative ones along with a lot of progressive ones. This is not always loved. Nor is standing up in the workplace and saying that a decision will result in something negative, because groupthink has set in and you’re not being “one of the team” to express concerns. Yes, there is a lot of it in politics, and if someone can show me good reason for their differences, I’ll accept them for the differences. Unfortunately, the climate is not good for that concept it seems. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 10:56 am adlib: Did you compliment someone last week over at HP after they brought up to grabamop what all activities we were going to be engaged in on Friday? The sock was unknown to me but it sure had that familiar feeling. You don’t have to tell me, but I was wondering. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 10:47 am KK, I always worry for your soul over there, my friend. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 10:07 am Pepe: You are cared about here. The circle of friends will remain. 🙂 » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 9:47 am Seek, I have never seen those negative attributes in you which you are being self-deprivating about. You come off well and have a big heart. BTW, our real friend is over there by herself right now! » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 8:37 am All are welcome under my big tent, who profess love for the caring and progressive agenda. Think of me as “Tommy”. 🙂 » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 8:28 am Hey Seek! This mornings e-mails and news brought sadness to me, and yet I was able to write coherently and sincerely in a responsible manner on this. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 8:16 am I have brought you the light, my child, come to me and be blessed. 🙂 Oh, yeah, you can bring Seek along. 🙂 » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 8:15 am Pepe: Live long and prosper! Viva la restistance! » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 8:03 am I will be there for those who are oppressed and need a voice, and any who seek my help as such will find it willingly given. I am loyal to my friends and a strong defender of those who are unable to defend themselves adequately. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 8:02 am Ecat: I personally hope that those who have recieved my ire take it to heart and learn from it. But I doubt they will, it is not their nature. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 8, 2009 @ 8:00 am I gave away an entire packed pickup bed of paperbacks from my mother’s house when I cleaned it out to a local book sale benefitting something or other. She loved historical romance novels. As a male, I don’t get it, or feel insulted by it, but what the heck. I had far more books at one point than I did, but we’ve moved from Kansas to Arizona to Washington to New Mexico to Arizona again, all in the past 18 years. Some of them had to go. Like my MBA texts. A lot of my sci-fi fantasy got donated with my mother’s books, but I kept certain authors and the hardcopy editions. Also have woodworking books, gardening books, cookbooks galore, etc. I once knew a couple who each had 7,000 plus books when they married, and probably ended up eliminating less than 20% when they combined them and removed duplicates. Ouch! At my cousin’s wedding (3rd cousin) I gave away family Bibles. 8 copies. The bride got the oldest and most important one, and my 2nd cousin got the one given to my family from the Carpenters Union when my grandfather, her great grandfather, died. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 10:03 am Bito: “Northern AZ” is like a Los Angelenos saying “back east”. To them anything east of the Sierra Nevadas is “eastern”. Now calling a Kansas boy an “easterner” is fighting words to me. 🙂 » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 9:56 am Bito: It looks like “northern AZ” means the Mogollon Rim. Sedona doesn’t look like snow today, nor Prescott, but yes to Flagstaff and maybe to Payson. I just did a weather.com check for where the snow expectations were. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 9:53 am Depends on the format of the manual. Some done in PDF don’t search worth a darn across the entire breadth of the manual. I’ve found hard copy indexes to be much more thorough than many online indexes. Don’t know why other than a decision made to get the product out, not necessarily by the creators. For some things, electronic manuals are great, such as on an aircraft for complete reference. But I’ve seen good and bad in manuals, including some I’ve contrributed to. But as I said, sometimes I just want to move away from the electronics, and then the book is extremely easier. Now something like Kindle would be really good. Speaking of, to me electronic books should be the preferred method for textbook publication in colleges. With the ability to make “margin” notes, they would be so much better. If there was a way to sell and “transfer” the book to another later on (gaurenteed removal upon tranfer, I don’t want to cheat the publisher) then it would be so much nicer. I kept far too many texts and it took up lots of space and moving with them really sucked. Not to mention there is no excuse for continuously replacing texts that haven’t really changed, other than the publisher wants to have a new one to sell. Like caluculus books, physics books, many engineering books, art history books, etc. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 9:49 am A real tree just isn’t worth the issues here in the Sonoran desert. Too dry too much. When I lived in Seattle I loved going out to get a fresh (cut myself) tree for Christmas. Now I just have this massive artificial Noble that I can put up. Looks good but it’s my project if it gets done. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 8:45 am Bito: We had some misty rain this morning, nothing to speak of. I’m just north of Phoenix at milepost 229 on the I-17 (Anthem, just south of New River), so we’re low enough that it would have to be really bad to have us get snow. I need to find the webcam site for Flagstaff. I grew up with snow, have traveled a bit in it, but appreciate being able to avoid it. Give me a warm, sandy beach and a nice cove, forget the ski slopes! » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 8:42 am BDM, for plants for my locale, elandscape.com has a very nice plant search engine on both botanical and common names. I still have all my books for that, too, but they aren’t as complete. It’s sort of like looking at my archive of “Favorites”, finding all the reference points for home design, landscape design, hobbies, etc, that I have and wondering how many of them are good sites. Not necessarily that the page is good, but is the site even still in existence. Wish there was a way to automatically do a review on that every couple of weeks. Oh, well… BTW, I’m doing fine for an 8:30 on a Monday morning. Still trying to decide if I’m decorating for Christmas or not. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 7:35 am BDM: I, too, like the feel of a book. There is something reassuring about it. And, if someone steals your book, you haven’t lost another 40+ books you paid good money for simultaneously. It’s like software manuals. Used to be a compiler came with about 7 volumes of real books. Serious bulk and weight. But when you wanted to find something and do cross reference, you could have multiple books open at once. Now with all the manuals now on disk, it’s actually more difficult, for me, to find things and do cross referencing. Not to mention if I want to go sit on the sofa or the porcelin convenience and continue reading, a book is much more convenient. Sort of like doing all your design work in AutoCadd or getting out a peice of drafting paper and going to work. Both have advantages. For this example, I prefer software, but when doing quick concepts, I’ll use a grid pad. Oh, well, we’re products of our times. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 7:17 am Extra! Extra! Read All About It! I hadn’t ever paid attention to Russell Pearce. Sounds like a real sack of shit to me. People think that “one nation, under God” has always been in the pledge of allegence, but it’s only been there since the late 1940’s. As for the 10 Commandments, those Republicans covet so much the’d never pass that one and they, by their claiming ownership of God himself, take HIS name in vain all the time, not to mention having other idols before them. Joe and JD are just big dumbfucks and bigots. As much as I think McCain is worthless, the idea that Hayworth could replace him does scare me. Lord Almighty! » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 7, 2009 @ 10:13 am It’s time for Liberals and Democrats to join the Teabaggers I believe the true “Teabaggers” are the now visible element of the worst of America, they have a sizeable racist attitude, which of course they deny, they don’t like any religion other than “regular” Christianity, they certainly have no belief that anyone different than themselves is acceptable, especially in sexual orientation, and they have no concept of how the government works or what it is doing for them, nor do they want to know. I know both “ordinary” conservatives and Teabaggers, and the Teabaggers make me want to sleep lightly and mantain my 2nd Amendment rights in order to feel safe from them. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 4, 2009 @ 6:32 pm Bito: Just think where AZ would be if it wasn’t for the federal funds back to the state. And you didn’t mention the continueing removal of more and more services in order to allow the legislature to have another tax cut even in this economic emergency. There are things I love about AZ, and then again, there are other things… » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 4, 2009 @ 6:28 pm Huey P Long was a populist, and I think he would have been a fine teabagger. Of course, he and Roosevelt didn’t see eye to eye on much, either. I cannot embrace a populist movement based on the delusions of a non-existent simpler time and that “taking care of yourself first” is the way we grow as a nation. If they cannot even accept “moderate” Republicans as brothers-in-arms, and are trying to eliminate them, how could anyone ever think they could or would want to work with progressives. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 4, 2009 @ 5:26 pm Putting thought, knowledge, and sincerity into a post at HP is the quickest way to get it purged. Hell if I know why. Sort of like asking why the YouTube links were disabled. HP wants to be the MickeyD’s of the Blogosphere. Billions and billions served. However, being able to digest the product is a whole ‘nother matter. I’ll take my blogging with curly fries, thank you. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 5, 2009 @ 1:24 pm Hey TJ, and adlib: If your mail system allows filters, build one for from = admin@planetpov.com and subject beginning with [PlanetPOV]. Most any other stuff coming out of PlanetPOV has either a different sender ID or the subject is different. Then you can send it to whereever you’d like, another folder, the bit bucket, ect. Just a potential workaround recommendation. Or, just do it the manual way once a day and move or delete them, that’s what I do. » Posted By Corgi Lover On December 4, 2009 @ 3:49 pmComments Posted By Corgi Lover
