Comment on Lottery Fever! by Helene

Helene — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:51:13 +0000

I didn’t buy a ticket. I did spend more than a minute or two thinking about how I would feel like if the group at work won and I hadn’t participated.

If I had played and had won I would have paid off all the family’s mortgages. Sorry!

I know I will embarrass myself and show my completely politically unsavvy colors, but I’ll take a guess. I’m tempted to Google, but I’ll hold off.
1. Bush
2. Obama
3. Clinton
Okay, have yourself a good laugh!

Manning egressed his data on a CD-RW disc, not a thumbdrive. Of course, the sign is amusing nontheless. :-)

What a bother and a half. I hope all the moves go smoothly.

Comment on Email Foibles by Helene

I learned from the best which is why I have a gmail.com and a comcast.net account. At work I’m a rarity since most everyone I know uses their work address for everything. I don’t get it. It’s nice to know I don’t have to check my work e-mail in the evenings or on weekends.

Comment on English as a second language by Told Yaso

Actually, that IS correct. It’s not supposed to say “you’re” because it is like saying we “appreciate your business”. We appreciate YOUR (decision to refrain from) smoking here. Not, “We appreciate you are not smoking here”.

Comment on Official Christmas Resignation by Helene

As an antidote, I suggest you find a church that offers midnight Mass or a midnight service and attend it. That just might be the salve you need to find peace and calm. Yes there will be singing, but you won’t hear any songs about Santa, reindeer, the weather, or mistletoe. Whatever you do, do not go to any “children’s” service earlier in the day. If you do, you’ll be forced to endure 800,000 darling little ankle-biters on a sugar-high who will generally run amok and distract the rest of the folks in the pews trying to find the sacred in the festivities. Just my $0.02.

Can’t say that I have ever purchased them. Maybe I will give a try. And I’ll wear a red shirt!
