    Joe Miller of Alaska -- Unemployment is for me not for you!

    Link (via CBS news) These tea party candidates are not ready for primetime. Not only is this revelation incredibly hypocritical, but the thought that we'd do away with any basic form of unemployment compensation would leave countless families in poverty.

    If you visit a friends business:do they give you better or worse service than normal?

    Example: You have a friend who works at a clinic. They leave you waiting for a long time in an exam room 'cos they figure you won't mind or complain. Or do they tend to you immediately? I often get shafted on services. Seems like they let down their guard and forget things... I once was...

    DIY project: Add a microwave to my shower

    Fox News -- keeping it fair and balanced again

    FOXNEWS Headline reads, "Counterterror Adviser Defends Jihad as 'Legitimate Tenet of Islam'" Well of course -- Jihad (inner struggle?) is a tenet of Islam. The insinuation here is that he thinks terrorists are on sound ground for their actions. I'm tired of this shit. They should...

    I need Cheap, quality pants (clothing in general)

    Does anyone have any informed opinion on why a particular brand is better than it's competitors when it comes to quality? For example, maybe Brand A is expensive but wouldn't you know it -- it's made in the same factory as Walmart clothing. Something like that. Obviously within reason (less...

    Immature, vindictive supervisors?

    So I got into a small argument with a dept supervisor about her trying to contact me. She calls my main line but since I am always out and about I rarely can pick up.

    Is it just me or is mental health only an afterthought for most?

    I seems to me that most people have a suck-it-up attitude for mental health problems. So little money is spent on mental health.

    Did religion play a negative role in your upbringing?

    It did for me. Everything I learned revolved around the bible and the small group of worshipers that attended my church. This has led to among other problems: - stopped me from getting to know and learn to cope with different types of people - made me think of sex as something forbidden...
