Don't Say You're Sorry - Marriage
Excellant article. One quote worth the price of the article..
The three hardest words in the English language to say are, "I was wrong." I've watched grown men and women stutter, stumble, and even choke when asked to turn to a mate and say, "I was wrong for …" Why are these three words so important?
I can say I 100% agree with the author.

Yahoo! News - IRS Audits Nation's Top Teachers' Union

While promising cooperation, the president of the nation's largest teachers' union is also pledging to "vigorously defend our constitutional right to speak to our members about the role of politics in public education."


Back up man, no one said that you cannot speak to members about politics, what they said is that you have to report obvious support of cannidates, etc. You can say you do not do that but:

The Associated Press reviewed the NEA's filings from years 1993 through 1999, reporting in a series of stories that the NEA has said on its tax returns that no union dues were spent on politics despite extensive internal memos laying out numerous union-funded political activities.

You got your hand caught in the cookie jar, now do not say it is not there, and take the puishment like you should. After all, would you not expect your students to....

Yahoo! News - Some Radio Stations Going All-Christmas:
" It's not even Thanksgiving yet, but on radios nationwide it's beginning to sound a lot like Christmas."
Enough is enough. Thanksgiving is the cutoff, anything before that is inane. Lets put CHRIST back in Christmas.

Help Net Security - Flooding From The Underground - A Global Threat
The PDF file downloadable from this page is facinating to me. I am an old time mIRC user but have stoped of late. Again, why do these people have to do this. Just to say they can I guess.

Ananova - Bad Santa shocks Disney bosses:
"'Nothing appears sacred, anymore, this is just not in the spirit of Walt Disney,' a source close to Chief Executive Michael Eisner is quoted as saying."
So why did you wait so long to find out what was going on with the script Disney folks. The time to protest and kill the picture is not when it is about to go to the theaters (if it is not there already), but long before that. Are they really upset or is this just a way to get more publicity for a film no one would watch otherwise.

Who would have thought that Microsoft would want to grab Google. It is funny, I remember when Google was not really all that big. Now MS wants to obliviate them... wonder what they want to do with my little consulting company...
InfoWorld: Attack code surfaces for latest Windows holes: November 17, 2003: By : Security
I wondered why my machine told me an update was waiting for me Friday. Gates had promised one patch a month and I had just done mine. Now I know why.
To you people doing this, get a life, go get some air, free yourselves. Why must you make my life misrable so you can prove how good you are.
I tire of this. I blame Microsoft to some degree, but I blame the hackers to a larger degree. They need to realize the problems the cause.

Oklahoma's Newschannel 8 - Power Outage Left Thousands In The Dark Thursday Morning
And here is the reason my kids had their snow day today.
No Snow Day
The little ones spent the day at home today on a declared SNOW DAY when there was no snow. How does that work? Well a fire at an electric power substation took out power to the area where the school is (and right be where I live also). This power outage happened early enough and with no information as to when it would be over that they closed the school system. So on a day where the tempature is 50 degrees, kids are having a ball with no school. Of course there is no snow either, which is what when I was growing up made a snow day not only a snow day but FUN.
Comedy on CSPAN2
I have to laugh as I have CSPAN2 on tonight. The Rebublicans are taking over the Senate!! Democrats are blocking the judges, and the Rebublican senator on now (Lidnsey Grahm, SC) even admitted that the Republicans did the same things to the Democrats. And the Democrats said it was unfair when it happened under Clinton's watch. Guess what, it is unfair both ways...who ever is doing it. And further more, it was supposed to be a quick check of character of a man, not a litmus test of a man's politics. Can't we all get along!

Yahoo! News - Sprint Adding TV Service for Cell Phones
First we eliminate the home phone, now we eliminate the Cable Box. Is this idea seem bad just to me?
Yahoo! News - Senate Begins Around-The-Clock Debate on Judges: "'Republicans need to show some backbone,' said David Keating, executive director of Club for Growth, a conservative public advocacy group. 'I'm not sure 30 hours will be enough.' "
And he is right. They will need to fight them not play nice to them.....
Wired News: E-Mail From the Great Beyond
Is it me or does this not make any sense at all. Should you be at peace with all men as Jesus said. Do you need an email from beyond to tell people how you really feel? The time to take care of these things is before you die, not after.
