Aaaaah, just what I need after work as I stress the heck out over learning another software program that I really, really hate and have to be an expert in by Tuesday morning.
And because I really, really hate it, I will probably procrastinate over learning it and be forcing myself to concentrate at 4 a.m. Monday morning instead of just breaking it down into small manageable bits that I can chew on all weekend.
So, they know you are leaving, but you have to learn a new program?
/ZUH?
Amir Taheri has a good piece up.
Nah, different company software.
/Somebody Bring me to life.
Oh, no! It’s baaaaack! “Diaper Free Babies Fad Swells Despite Critics”.
Something tells me that this isn’t a problem that men would run across in their restrooms.
Well Ms SwampWoman #7,
We will, during times of great pressure at beer busts, use the sinks for urinals.
Social trends shade color forecasting business.
That quote would almost lead me to believe that most men are completely indifferent to the colors of the walls, floors, appliances, furniture, dishes, etc. and that can’t be right.
Sheesh, Beto, I did not want to hear that, but somehow it does not surprise me. Were there no trees or tires available? SwampMan has gone outside and peed on my CATS before.
You are absolutely correct, Swampie, as the white on my shirts doesn’t match the white on my walls, or appliances. But then, I don’t personally know any men with a makeup box, either.
Morning Beto. Saw where your comment the other day became thread worthy at Gateway Pundit.
Beijing to fix menus that are lost in translation so get your steamed crap and virgin chicken before the translation police make your adventures in eating a little less scary.
Yes n2l, turns out it was a different Norman Hsu. Who knew? Two boys named Hsu.
Ooooh, nice one, beto.
#12 SwampWoman,
With the English in Hong Kong for so long (-5, blatant rhyming) you would think the Chinese would have their translating down by now. I think the world’s gonna get a big surprise just how backward and brutal the mainland culture is when these olympics take place.
SwampMan woke me before he left with strict instructions that I was to sleep until NOON, and then start doing the computer stuff that I’m dreading.
I wish people wouldn’t wake me up to tell me to sleep.
Their names are Hsu…how are you?
Either or, they are still both shills for the ChiComms, to peddle influence, of which the Clintoons have no shame in accepting, for the right price.
Please, think of the kittens!
/lol
Beto, I just know some Chinese dissidents, maybe even some Falun Gong survivors(few as they may be), will try and have some kind of protest or media spectacle, during the Olympics. I wonder if the outside world will even get close enough to the shipyards to see the massive military naval building program.
Sman, he’s a crafty one.
Uh-oh, Swampie.
Looks like the diaper less baby idea is catching on, and the Chinese method of stifling dissent.
See y’all a little later on. Errand time.
Some people tend to assume that other cultures are the same as theirs. We see examples of that all the time. Toys from China, adulterated food from China…this stuff isn’t illegal there, people. This is not a new problem.
I was reading an article in, I *think* IBD, or maybe WSJ, where Chinese factories are having to shut down due to a shortage of literate workers. India, where a lot of jobs are outsourced, also has a finite number of well-educated workers which is putting an upward trend on wages.
In the Outpost Delta office of Capt. Quintin Jones, the commander of Lima Company, 3rd Battalion, 3rd Marines, there’s a grab-your-attention poster featuring a lineup of players in football gear. The caption runs: “Ever wonder why the Marines don’t have a football team like the Army, Navy or Air Force?
“We’re here to protect a country, not a quarterback.”
Double “heh”.
It’s Saturday, that means it’s time for Steyn.
Mark Steyn: There were two creeps in the men’s room.
Anybody home? Yoo Hooooo….here’s a couple of tidbits from Texas.
Texas spiders’ monstrous webs baffle scientists
Woman finds unusual creature in Texas
I’ll be back later.
Hey n2l….you snuck right by the slow typer.
Better article.
Texas Woman Claims to Have Found Mythical ‘Chupacabra’
I think Texas woman better get out a dog breed reference and look up “Mexican Hairless” or Xoloitzcuintli.
Well, dang, that link didn’t come through. Let me try another one. Xoloitzcuintli.
That’s what I was thinking Swamps. Some inbreeding and a bad attitude.
Well, I reckon if I were dead and beheaded, I’d likely have a bad attitude too.
Very rare/ancient breed of dogs in Mexico associated with the Aztecs. With the rains and ‘canes, I suppose some of them may have gotten lost or gone feral. We’ve got coydogs running around here, perhaps there are uglyass xolotes running around Mexico.
Yeah, that spider web story has been a big story down here all week.
Chupacabra my arse. Most people wouldn’t even know that word, if it weren’t for X Files.
Y’all must have some really horny coyotes down there, the coyotes here hunt dogs in packs, using a female in heat as bait, then kill and eat the dogs.
/damn coyotes
I’ll be in and out, far too many games on to keep up with, much less posting.
This is unbelievable. I have never agreed with the Sierra Club, and seldom with the Teamsters, but my record is intact with the 9th circus. The Bush infatuation with the Mexicans makes me cringe and wonder just WTH is he thinking.
Court Rejects Challenge to Allowing 100 Mexican Truckers Under Bush Program
That’s 100 Mexican Trucking Companies. Thousands of drivers that can’t read the signs or speak the language and don’t know the laws.
Law Enforcement is still requiring that the drivers be able to understand English, a law that has been on the book for ten years. The Mexican trucking companies are having a hard time finding qualified drivers, and they know their trucks and cargo will be impounded, if caught with a driver that can’t communicate.
As for W being on the same side as Teamsters and Gaians is baffling to me.
Random pickings: Two Planes Collide During Acrobat Display at Air Show in Poland
Click on the picture to enlarge. I don’t think it was those two planes that collided. One is intact and one is exploding before impact.
Truck drivers will be required to read, speak English.
If there is such a law, (required to understand English) it is not enforced anywhere that I know of.
Looks like three planes to me, one intact, and two in that cloud of debris.
I was trying to find an article from a few days ago, the DPS in Texas is enforcing it…easy money,if they can’t communicate.
Read that link, it is from Free Republic.
They Don’t Speak English Now! That is a bunch of Bullsh**.
Uh hunh. I know lots that speak perfectly good English unless the police come by. Then nobody can habla Ingles.
Maybe so, I don’t know.
I just know what I’ve read about the DPS. Maybe the CHP doesn’t do their job.
My point exactly! Since 1971 these laws have been there, yet no enforcement. Now!, they think things will change.
I’m against it. We don’t need yet another source of smuggling.
Yup, must be a California thang.
Funny how that works, Swampie.
The foreign cab, limo, and shuttle drivers in Dallas are required to speak, read, and write English, and are tested on it, to prove proficiency. Yet, get them alone with a passenger, and a steering wheel in their hands, nope can’t understand a danged thing, except taking you the long way.
I was never in favor of NAFTA to begin with, so where is the road back, to before that time? I’ve got the danged NAFTA Highway(I-35) running right through my city, and try to stay off it.
I never liked NAFTA either. I don’t know how to go back, but going forward at this point in time makes no sense at all. Letting more foreigners into the country with 40 tons of who knows what at their control is just stupid.
Did you see what I meant, in that plane crash photo?
#38 n2l
I see it now. I also missed the pilot in the front of the plane that just got hit.
#50 ditto
If y’all really want to check your nausea and pucker factors, go to Gateway Pundit, and scroll down on some his posts for the past day or two.
Those two pilots were at the max, on their pucker factors.
Dang!
Here’s the crash video.
Wow…
More video from Pass Christian, during Katrina.
I just wonder what the AP considers “Civilians”.
More than 1,800 Iraqis killed in August
“Civilians” probably means “terrorists”.
Yup…
According to the Brookings institute figures, on page 14 of this pdf, the death toll of Iraqi citizens has been much higher, in each month this year.
Looking at Irag Body Count, can’t make a lot of sense out of what they are doing, but doesn’t seem that high.
Basically, I don’t ever believe Al AP anyway. If they want to get the info from death certificates recorded by the Iraqi government, then I might believe them.
AP=Always Political….
I watched the Pass Christian video. SwampMan had said he was going to stay through any hurricane; then he asked me what evacuation zone we were in. We’re in a cat 5 evac zone because it will be under water. He was goin’ bullbleep, we have had 5 feet of water in the lower pastures just during a tropical depression before!
The roads in and out are lower so when the water starts rising, we pretty much don’t have a choice.
/He’s thinking something on 10′ piers might be nice.
Yeah, it all depends on where the information comes from.
/Terrorists are such drama queens.
Cat 5 doesn’t mean five feet of water, he might need that info.
Show him the poor guy from Chalmette that rode out Katrina, and was cursing his bad judgement, and saying over and over and over and over again, that he would never stay again.
I’m kind of on Patrick Swayze overload from Spike TV (Next of Kin, Roadhouse).
In Iraq, 3,184 enemy KIA, and 1016 enemy WIA, with another 17,946 detained.
America’s North Shore Journal.
Those numbers are since 15 Jan 07 to 31 Jul 07.
I’m on football OD status. Got to get back in all day long college football viewing condition.
No, I looked at the maps, we’re projected to be under 5′ of water during a cat 5; however, since we’ve had easily that much in the lower pastures during a tropical depression, we believe that the flooding potential is seriously underestimated. Plus, the monster trees we have all around us would destroy the house.
Swimming in 150 mph + winds with the snakes and the gators would not be my idea of a good time.
I have never considered trying to stand up in the face of one of those beasts, and can’t understand anyone even contemplating it.
Gotta listen to some of that exquisite despair of Evanescence.
I like her studio stuff better than the unplugged.
According to the guy on the acoustic guitar, her bestest bud, she has had a deeply disturbing young life, that would curdle the blood in most people, if they knew what she has experienced. Listening and looking at her, I will take his word for it.
If we couldn’t get the critters out, I would stay. When Floyd was headed this way, all the neighbors packed up and ran (or attempted to on the car-to-car parking lot that were the roads; we had 3 horses, about a 100 ewes, 10 sows and a boar and piglets, 10 cats, 5 dogs….
Last night, I didn’t want anything to distract from her voice. Studio stuff is good too, don’t get me wrong, just sometimes I like the acoustic better.
#73-All the more reason to pack it up, and head on down the road early, instead of waiting for the roads to fill up. It’s what I always did, nothing bad ever happened to my house, but I didn’t regret my decision…ever!
I’m not sure if I like Going Under better acoustic or studio.
Son called, said he had a buyer for the hell bitch mare. She and I have reached an understanding over the years, and she greets me now with the soft whicker she would use to baby talk to the foal she has never had. She’s in her 20s now and is starting to be a little stiff in her trot. She wouldn’t eat when we have sent her off to breed, and came home a few hundred pounds lighter each time and slipped the foal. I just can’t do it. I don’t want her sent off to slaughter to feed some French person or be abused in any way.
SwampMan, though, would not understand why I continue to pay $250 a month for food/farrier/etc. for an old horse that is of no use to me, so he won’t know about that offer.
I like this lil ol’girl from Temple, Tx.
And this ol’girl, from who knows where.
Then of course, who will save the Kitty.
It’s long been known, here in Texas, the surest way to become a millionaire, is to start keeping horses, when you are a billionaire.
I’m out, y’all.
Night.
Oh, and to preempt any questions, it wasn’t me that was the lone winner of the $355million Mega Million last night, from Texas.
/lucky bastid
Have any of y’all seen tire bale houses being built? I know that the rammed earth construction with tires and tire bale construction is probably more used out your way than here.
Sumbitch! I forgot to buy a ticket up in Georgia yesterday.
/I don’t think I could deal with all the new friends, though.
Ya know Swamps, there’s a time to run and a time to fight. I don’t know about hurricanes but I waited out a forest fire once, and I think it must be a little bit the same. If my animals cant get out…..well, it’s just not right to leave them, but the will to live may override that.
Dang it! I’m late again…
Robert D, go back to the Katrina thread, and try and put yourself in that poor guys shoes, in Chalmette.
Swampie, never heard of such a house.
Once again, night.
G’nite all…..
Well, the good thing about Florida is that they understand that if some little old lady’s poodle or chihuahua or kitties are not allowed in a shelter, then they won’t go either, so there are places for them. Not so much for folks with the larger livestock.
As hurricanes approach, though, there will be a procession of horse transports taking the multi-million dollar thoroughbreds up north out of harm’s way.
Katrina thread? What? What shoes? Again G’nite all….
Oh, dang, I was just looking at one being built in Colorado. Huge compressed bales of tires, cabled together, and covered with shot crete.
I was researching to come up with a low-cost yet more secure place for the critters since I believe next year will be a more active season again depending on ENSO.
Heh. N2l posted something on the Katrina thread that recorded some people staying in their house in an expensive subdivision during Katrina. The water came in from the gulf and went from the steps to the ceiling in 3 minutes. They spent the storm clinging to the rafters in the attic and spending the night with the snakes and other varmints that had crawled up there for shelter.
I better go to bed as well. I have LOTS of books I’m supposed to be studying.
G’night.
