Hello all, Next month will be my 13th anniversary of completing my two-year mission to England for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . I spent two years there, from November 1990 to November 1992. I lived in and around London; mostly out in the countryside, but spent about six or seven months in the City, als

Who watched with gleeful awe as Steve Harrigan of FOX News almost got sawn in half by a flying road sign in Everglades City this morning? Who saw poor Trace Gallagher get blown about by 120 mile-an-hour winds in the streets of West Palm Beach? It's like an accident waiting to happen. Okay, hurricane reporter should be up there with the most dange

Think about the magnitude of this news though. The D.C. area liberal talk outlet gets zero (or undetectable) ratings. "DC is soooooo left... "How left is DC?" "DC is sooooo left, they and Minnesota were the only ones to carry Walter Mondale in 1984! And Minnesota is his ho

Law 26 Keep Your Hands Clean You must seem a paragon of civility and efficiency: Your hands are never soiled by mistakes and nasty deeds. Maintain such a spotless appearance by using others as scapegoats and cat’s-paws to disguise your involvement. Is it not my style, SNS? Can you be sure? Bwah hah hah hah!

I guess it just goes to show, if you aren't getting anywhere with the current tech just hang up and try again. That is, unless you have already been waiting for TWENTY F**KING MINUTES! Do you think I want to hear that insipid hold music again? I once waited on hold where the recording actually

Okay, thus ends my saga. Went to MVA (Motor Vehicle Administration) yesterday to get licenses and plates. Got lost twice, first time showed up at an emissions inspection station. Showed up at the actual MVA at 4:05, realizing that they close at 4:30. Had birth certificates, lease agreement, old licenses, and two proofs of residency (bills, etc., addressed to us at our new house). Got through licenses in ten minutes, no problem. Except $46 for myself and spouse, each, for a five y

Your original comment is absolutely true, except when a good mutual friend and I went to Dallas in February for a "cleared" job fair, it was nothing but aerospace companies looking for computer wonks and engineers. They were not looking for linguists or analysts. At all. They looked at me funny when I told them I didn't have a degree in aerospace engineering. Just a word to the warning, those clearance jobs are out there (I have one), but t

I used to work at AMEX's merchant services department, and we took fraud disputes very seriously. Let's try to dissect this situation, shall we? "We got authorization for all of the charges," Hanover said of McCormick's visit. "We followed proper procedures and documentation..." It is the merchant's responsibility to prove the charges w

Good catch, Terp. Knowing the Post they probably hid it in the bottom left corner of page 8 in 1/2 point font size. I remember working for a radio station in high school that was excited to APPEAR on the Arbitron rating system, so I can relate to just how small a listenership a station has to have to not show up on the Arbitrons. It was a light rock station in Prescott, Arizona, that could not be heard outside a 25 mile radius even duri

On your recommendation, I DVR'ed it last night and watched it this morning. Oh man, that was some serious humor. They skewered everything about global warming and they really destroyed "The Day After Tomorrow". (Terrible, unbelievable film anyway; excellent SFX though...) Anyway, thanks for the recommendation and glad to see that "South Park" is still maintaining its high humorous standards and its subversively conservative agenda.

Since he has presidential ambitions, I would say this is going to affect all of you unless you stop him. He is gone from our state in 3 months, thank god. This is Warner, right? I've seen Tim Kaine commercials and seen them both hard at work... blah blah blah.
