How to Be Unnaturally Patient with Your Spouse – MSN Relationships – article
"The secret to a happy marriage? A man should treat his wife like a five-year-old. Now, I’m not saying you should use monosyllabic words or give her time-outs. But use these three methods, subtly, and both your lives may be made easier…"

There’s a different kind of predator online these days, the ‘Nice Guy’ – They’re worse than the average predator because they seem to fool everyone with their ‘Knight in Shining Armor’ routine. Read all about it in my SoApBoX section or my MySpace blog….

It’s not on the online version of the Pocono Record, but today’s paper reveals Kim DeBourbon is resigning as editor.
I wish her well. She was a wonderful person and we saw eye-to-eye on a lot of things that I felt the online version of the paper should have been doing. It was a pleasure to work with her. What confuses me is the article mentioning “Bill Watson and others will be covering until there’s a replacement”.
Are you kidding me? BILL WATSON’S THE MAN! He should be the new editor. He’s sharp. He’s witty. If something was going down in the Poconos, you can bet Bill Watson knew about it. He also has his finger on the pulse of what the people want to read about.

“Sexy cheerleading bill” appears dead in Texas
Senate says it’s not likely to take action on legislation this year
WOOOO HOOO!!!! What a wonderful time to be a man and a sports fan!!!
(OK, well I don’t watch too many sports… but I know this is an important part of it!)
Have you ever SEEN some of the women that scream “Exploitation”?
Woof! Woof!
You will never see a beautiful woman picketing against bathing suit competitions or cheerleading. They know it’s all part of the power and allure that these women hold over men.
The feminists that want it stopped… you really don’t want to see them in a string bikini. Trust me.

False Pregnancy – Who really wants to debate the morning-after pill?
“Why the silence? Because from a strategic standpoint, it’s a stinker of an issue for pro-lifers. In recent years, they’ve gained the upper hand by focusing relentlessly on late-term fetuses that look like babies.”
I love it!
Abortion can be argued to a certain degree because a life is involved. The Pro-Life crowd hasn’t figured out how to argue about “Morning After Pills” yet without looking like they’re trying to meddle in someone’s life. (Which we all know they are!)
I wish my life was as uncomplicated as those that have all the time in the world to concern themselves with other people’s sex lives… don’t you?

Nope. Not me. I couldn’t be happier!
Up to date equipment, relaxed artistic environment, cool co-workers, and a state-of-the-art recording studio being built in the room next to me as I write this.
However, for the less-fortunate, I offer from MSN Careers:
Six Signs That You Should Run – Not Walk – from Your New Job
1. You ask your new boss for supplies and she hands you a No. 2 pencil and legal pad — and nothing else.
2. You were shown to a cubicle your first day of work, given a company manual and haven’t been spoken to since.
3. Every time you tell someone about your new job with the company they raise their eyebrows and say “Really? Wow… good luck with that.”
4. After two weeks on the job, you are already halfway to becoming the employee with the most seniority.
5. You answer the phone while the company’s secretary is away from her desk and find that the voice at the other end is a collection agency calling for the third time that week.
6. You notice that every day for the last five days, at least one person has run crying from your boss’s office.
Now, I realize I’ve promised a short while back to be a kinder, less vicious person, who doesn’t trash past acquaintances and places of employment…
But well, um, I have a “friend” who recently used to work for a job that had many of these signs (1,3,5 and an less-exaggerated 6). And I can’t help but feel bad for the person (who’s getting #2 in abundance) that replaced me… uhm, I mean my friend.
While it’s understandable why people have a duty to their family to hold jobs down that make them completely miserable… I’ll never understand why they’re not at least looking for a new one.
Remember my theme from last year:
“You can’t be King of the world if you’re Slave to the Grind”.
What jobs have YOU had that fit this criteria, and when did you run screaming from it?

Taxpayers get unexpected return–sex chat
“Hi, sexy. Welcome to Intimate Encounters.”
Not exactly the kind of message you expect to hear in the middle of doing your taxes, but that’s just what some TurboTax customers are getting as they try to set up their state returns.
A message in the business version of Intuit’s market-leading tax preparation software erroneously directs customers to a sex talk operation.
That’s funny!!!!
I got 4 grand back… I’m sticking with H&R Block, thankyouverymuch. I can get an AOL account if I want to hear that crap.
PS: Jackson-Hewitt sucks.

There’s a lot going on in my professional life right now. This is evidenced in my lack of activity here and on my friend’s sites. Politics is fun and all, but I’m only interested in it with the aspect of ridiculing it. My mind is made up, your mind is made up… and the only purpose we’re serving right now is to drive anyone FROM our sites in the years to come by trying to play “online pundit”. I am looking beyond November 2nd at this point… and hope many of you will be sticking around.
I have an art director’s position waiting for me in the near future. I just gotta hang in there, and continue being the “nobody” I am now. I have the blessings of my family to resign any time I’d like, but there are some exciting things going on, whether my contributions are recognized or not:
In the present I have the opportunity to work with top notch professionals that gave ABC News its presence on the web. The time for newspapers to acknowledge reality and embrace the future has come, and I want to be a part of that transition team. I also have the frustration of people with a small-town/RIAA-like mentality to struggle with on a daily basis. It’s taking a lot of my time… I have data, surveys and reports eating my brain.
Fortunately I am POWERED by negativity.
Enough about me… here’s what’s going on with my friends on the web:
- The 3rd Annual Boobiethon is in its final 24 hours. As usual, a smashing success. Congratulations to its organizers for all their hard work, and a nod of recognition to all of the bloggers who have contributed pics to a wonderful cause and making a difference!
- Congratulations to Mr. & Mrs. Zeldman on the arrival of their beautiful baby daughter on 9/28!
- Octobuary is not only Breast Cancer awareness month (see “Boobiethon” above), but it is also Domestic Violence Awareness Month. Say hello to my dear friend, Lois Heckman and Women’s Resources of Monroe County – Real men don’t abuse those they’ve vowed to love, honor, cherish and protect. Even if you don’t live in the Poconos, I would urge you to seek them out if you have been a victim of abuse, and definitely support them.
- Witchy guest spots here in SoApBoX and describes the surrealistic experience of her department being laid off in My only friend.. The End.Not only is she a valued friend and contributes here, but is also working with the equally lovely and fellow Texan Deb Smouse, and will be adding some good stuff to All Things Girl soon… and WILL have a website of her own soon, I swear.
- Gina writes about “Hardcore Activists” who say taking an ACD (Arraignment Considering Dismissal) for the protests during the RNC Convention makes you a “sellout”. Gina disagrees, and so do I. I no longer support a Child Protection Reform GROUP for that very same reason (though my view on CP$ remains the same.).It’s one thing to stand up for what you believe in. It’s commendable.
It’s another to become a martyr when you don’t have to. It’s senseless and stupid.
Radicals are in every movement. And they destroy that movement faster than the people you’re advocating against. They also kill the credibility of your cause. (See PETA and Greenpeace for a few examples. While there are some decent and relatively sane people involved, their reputations have all been tarnished and overshadowed by the actions of their extremist element.)
- Gina also links to pictures FROM inside Pier 57 at The Memory Hole.
More as I think of them…
