To preface this post, I fired this girl along with a few other employees a few weeks ago. I will just say she was slow in catching on to things. so long story short she is still in contact with one of my employees and they showed me i was correct in firing her.

this is an unaltered copy of the email that they received. there are more



Hey,
How are you doing???? Well nothing much here is going on with me just the same old same old thats about it really here with me. Well just thought I would say hi and hope everything is going good for you??? Well so what your plans for this weekend??? Doing anything good??? Well I really dont know what my plans are for this weekened probably just the same old same old like any other weekend basically. Well friday or saturday i might do house chores and what not and friday night if i am up too it i might meet up my friends from where I used to work at Menlo Mall at the Fox and Hounds restaurant then saturday i might just sleep late and then sunday is church day so i am going to go to church and then just relax actually both days because I did too much partying last weekend and all. Well last weekend friday i did house chores and all and then this one guy asked me to meet him up and i told him that i had to do a few things and what not but then after 5:30pm hit i got bored and had nothing to do so i texted messaged him and i said to him i am so bored and all and he calls me and he's like you want to meet up and I said sure but the only thing is where and all and i told him i said are you up to going bowling and all and then i thought and i said oh nevermind i take that back because thats a bad idea because bowling leagues and then i said why dont we meet at the mall at this restaurant called fox and hounds and hes like sure. Well anyway so i got there about 7pm and all and just waiting and waiting and waiting and all and then i texted messaged him before i got there i said i hope you aren't going to stand me up like that and he's like i am not that kind of person to do that and all i said oh okay, okay!!! Well anyway then he texted me and he's like I am on my way i should be there like five to ten minutes and all i said okay cool. Well and then he got there he called me and he was like where you at and i said i am sitting at the tall booth and i am wearing a green shirt and he's like oh i found you okay talk to u in a bit. Well anyway the bad part about it i was drunk and what not...lol and he goes u know how i know u drunk the first signs of being drunk is moving too much with your arms and laughing...lol!!!! Well anyway so we talked and chatted and what not about things and he was telling me about his things and what not and what he likes and this and that and there was a few minutes of silence and all but it didnt last that long either so i guess thats a good thing as well!!! Well anyway this guy is two or three years older from me and all he's little bit taller then i am and he's skinny and he is a firefighter and before he started this in february he was in the army and just came from Iraq and bosnia and that sorts!! Well we were there till about 9:00pm and what not and the bartender comes up and she's like i have people waiting and all are u going to be leaving shortly and we said yes we are actually right now. Well anyway then he paid for dinner for the both of us which was so sweet. well anyway and then we walked back to my car and all and then he's just standing there and I am just standing there its like...a whoa moment and then we started kissing and all but then he said why dont we get into ur car and all and i said okay sure and we were kissing and everything. Well anyway so he told me that he likes me a lot and what not but that is like hard for me to believe that and I dont know why I guess maybe because of my ex=boyfriend and all and all the things he said to me and so forth thats why maybe i got doubts in my head and dont want to believe it and all. Well anyway okay so i am there on a date and i went to the ladies room and all i checked my cell phone to see if it rang or any messages and all and then i checked my email on my cell phone and guess who writes to me it is my ex boyfriend and all and he's asking me what am i doing and all but i didnt respond back to him until i got home and I said to him i just walked into the house a few minutes ago and i am drunk as a skunk...lol but sorry going to bed now!!! Then he writes to me asking me where i was last night...and then i said menlo mall at fox and hounds restaurant then he writes to me saying with who and it wasn't ur birthday...lol and i said yeah i know it wasn't my birthday!!! Then he goes with your friend? I go she wasn't with me that night and then he goes u were out with a guy really but i didnt respond to that because i didnt feel like it. Well and then we chat on saturday little bit and then u know i did my thing with what I had to do and actually went out saturday night with family and then sunday went to church and then went for walk and then hung out with a friend of mine and all and then he writes me an email yesterday saying to me when my thing is over and i said soon. Then he writes something and i was like oh okay whatever kinda way!!! Well and then he writes me from his home email and he is like hi and i was like hey what up kinda way and then he sends me something which was ridicoulus and all and then he writes nobody wants me not even Jamie(my friend) or you. Then he writes to me he's like you know I cannot get anything from no one thats why i am asking you....eww!!! Well anyway I dont know why he's doing all these things to me and what not I have a feeling that he's maybe lonely and all and he knows now that I have moved on and I found someone else who could be my "potential boyfriend" so maybe i think he's getting jealous and all!!!!



Well anyway okay well i have to go now and i will talk to you later.

  Carbon dioxide... we call it life
Posted by: GonzoStyle - 05-19-2006, 07:52 PM - Forum: The Pit - Replies (7)

Quote:"Carbon dioxide... we call it life," TV ads say By Deborah Zabarenko
Wed May 17, 6:58 PM ET



WASHINGTON (Reuters) - A little girl blows away dandelion fluff as an announcer says, "Carbon dioxide: they call it pollution; we call it life," in an advertisement targeting global warming "alarmists," especially Al Gore.

The television ads, screened for the press on Wednesday and set to air in 14 U.S. cities starting on Thursday, are part of a campaign by the conservative Competitive Enterprise Institute to counter a media spotlight on threats posed by worldwide climate change.

The spots are timed to precede next week's theatrical release of "An Inconvenient Truth," a documentary film on global warming that features Gore, the former vice president and Democratic presidential candidate.

Against backdrops of a park, a beach and a forest, one celebrates the benefits of greenhouse gas-producing fuels.

"The fuels that produce CO2 (carbon dioxide) have freed us from a world of back-breaking labor, lighting up our lives, allowing us to create and move the things we need, the people we love," the ad runs. "Now some politicians want to label carbon dioxide a pollutant. Imagine if they succeed -- what would our lives be like then?"

The other ad questions media reports of the threat of climate change, especially a Time magazine issue devoted to the topic, and shows film of a glacier melting and then runs in reverse to show the glacier reconstituting itself.

"We had started work on this several months back, but we sort of changed course once the flood of glacier-melting stories began," said Sam Kazman, an institute lawyer who worked on the ads. "So we did want to get out there before the Al Gore film got into national opening."

'RUNNING FOR ARCH-DRUID'

Fred Smith, president of the institute, a lobbying group closely allied to the Bush administration that stresses limited government regulation and a free-market approach to environmental issues, said he had seen the film and found it "very alarmist," although well-produced.

"There's a lot of pictures of Al Gore pensively looking into the sunset," Smith said. "I don't think he's running for president, but he might be running for arch-druid."

The institute and environmental groups such as Washington-based Environmental Defense agree that average global temperatures have risen about 1 degree Fahrenheit (0.6 degrees Celsius) in the last century.

But the institute questions the impact of global warming while a broad range of scientists and environmentalists, including Gore, have linked it to more severe storms, melting ice caps and rising sea levels.

"They fly in the face of most of the science," Charlie Miller of Environmental Defense said of the institute ads. "The good news is that there's not a trade-off here between prosperity, jobs, growth and protecting the Earth. We can do both."

Environmental Defense and the Ad Council released public service announcements in March featuring children as future victims of global warming, and these were mentioned critically at the briefing where the new ads were released.

The institute ads will run from May 18 through May 28 in Albany, New York; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Anchorage, Alaska; Austin, Texas; Charleston, West Virginia; Dallas; Dayton, Ohio; Denver; Harrisburg, Pennsylvania; Phoenix; Sacramento and Santa Barbara, California; Springfield, Illinois, and Washington.

Next ads up, "gas prices, you call them too high, we call them 'too bad your daddy doesn't own an oil field'".

beth illyse 77: beth illyse 77 (10:46:45 PM): so tell me what you think about this
beth illyse 77 (10:46:57 PM): you're in a restaurant with a big group of 30
beth illyse 77 (10:47:40 PM): the waitress hands out all the drinks & after your friend takes a sip of his drink he realizes he got rootbeer instead of the coke that he orderd
beth illyse 77 (10:47:49 PM): so he gives it back to the waitress
beth illyse 77 (10:48:08 PM): she then changes the straw & hands the rootbeer to the correct person further down the table


Who find it completely disgusting, disrespectful and unforgivable and who think it was a mistake, shit happens and there was no actual mouth to glass touching so it's cool?

Reality: Surveys have repeatedly shown that up to 5% of Americans don't Masturbate.

a whole 5%, so 95% do.... and thats not everyone? Cause you gotta figure the numbers are somehow skewed, so its really like 3%. Of those 3% youy gotta have some old people who just cant anymore, then theres eunichs and such.

Quote:Scientists Create World's Smallest Brush


HONOLULU - University of Hawaii nanotechnology experts have invented the world's smallest brush — a device boasting bristles a thousand times finer than a strand of human hair.


Mehrdad Ghasemi-Nejhad, a professor of mechanical engineering at the university, said the brush may be used to sweep nano dust, paint small micro-tubes and clean pollutants in water.

Nanotechnology involves the manufacture and manipulation of materials at the molecular or atomic level. At that scale, materials are measured in nanometers or billionths of a meter.

Ghasemi-Nejhad said the nanotechnology field could allow for the building of ever smaller chips that would reduce the size and weight of computers while increasing their speed and memory.

Nanotechnology may also allow for low-cost, better-performing fuel cells that use hydrogen as clean fuel, he said.

The tiny brush invention has earned the research team, which involves experts from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in Troy, N.Y., a spot in the 2007 Guinness Book of World Records.

"We need to look at the needs in the nano-world, where machines and materials can be the size of atoms and molecules," said UH doctoral student Vinod P. Veedu. "As in the 'bigger' world, there are messes to sweep, walls to paint, tubes to unclog and electronics to power. So our invention ... demonstrates a way to make the tiniest of brushes to do these jobs."

Ghasemi-Nejhad founded the Hawaii Nanotechnology Laboratory in his UH department three years ago in part to train workers for a growing industry.

End the genocide in Darfur, stop the Iran worries and forget the price of oil.... look at the tiny brush.. or actually look at the tiny brush that's so tiny YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE IT!!!

  XBox 360, PS3, and the Wii
Posted by: Danked - 05-16-2006, 12:56 AM - Forum: Über Geek Zone - Replies (19)

So I was watching all the E3 coverage and I must say I'm pretty disappointed with the impending future of console gaming. From the outrageous price of the PS3 to what sounds like a very limiting and frustrating control system for the Wii, I can say with confidence that there's nothing that makes me want to run out and preorder yet.

Sony is out of their minds. Sure there are people that will pay $600 pretax for the PS3, but there will be a lot less early adopters then they would have had they set their price for their competitive market. The big point that people are making is that you could potentially purchase a 360 and a Wii for the price of a PS3. Free online play is a bonus, but who knows how solid a service they'll offer gratis.

The Wii worries me with their wacky controller. For their sake, I hope they offer the choice in game to use their motion sensitive controller or a controller from my old Gamecube. From the footage I've seen, the demos that used it were simplistic and dull (golf and tennis) and I haven't really heard how well a more demanding game like Zelda or Mario handles with such limiting controls. Plus, we'll all look damn silly playing it. I should know, I play WarioWare on my Gameboy Advance already.

I know nothing about the 360 as I don't think I've ever even tried a demo model in a store. For you people that own it, was a new console so necessary so soon after the release of the original XBox?
