Comment on Do you pick up pennies? by a.d.

a.d. — Thu, 05 Jan 2012 20:48:07 +0000

want to know something funny? My and my 10 y.o. son go out to our local mall every week for ” coin hunt”. Where do you find those coins ? Usually around cashiers and on food courts. We found many coins 1 cent, 10, 5 and even 25 cents. One trip usually ends up with ~ $ 2. We made more than 15 trips so far so it is $ 30 for free. So when you are in a store, standing by cashier just look down , maybe underneath a bit , you may see some free money lying there ha .

Comment on UPS Driver by UPS GUAM

UPS GUAM — Sat, 24 Dec 2011 01:26:57 +0000

Wow, reading all your comments seems different than being employed by UPS here on Guam. No matter what your job title be everyone is currently at the earnings of $7.50 that is minimum wage here. while the jobs they do is the task of four to five guys yet they tackle it all on their own, to get the job done. so honestly between having pay cut to install a/c system, id rather see ALL the drivers here given a pay raise instead especially since theyve dealt without the a/c problems more than four years straight, so its no biggie to them but then you already know if they’re NOT complaining about the heat thats because there is something bigger they will have to bring to attention. id rather see a payraise based on performance than to have an a/c system installed that will have problems in the next few years! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, UPS commenters!

I agree, their website is beautiful. I’ve considered printing one of my e-books before but never really gotten around to it. Maybe now I will.

Comment on Pros and Cons of Business Specialization by Paul Welsh

Paul Welsh — Tue, 13 Dec 2011 10:22:29 +0000

This summer I released a book called “the St. Bernard Principle. Why Specialists are the Alpha Dogs in Business.” and it makes a compelling case for specialization. Short of being a full bred St. Bernard, you might consider what I call the Litter Twin strategy where you launch a second specialist business if the potential looks strong.

Comment on Longest you’ve ever stayed awake? by Justin

Justin — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 08:09:03 +0000

I am currently at 43 hrs 55 minutes. I currently am working on a take home exam for one 300-level English courses on ancient Greek drama, which so far has taken up 12 pages of Microsoft Word, and I have yet to get to the two 600-word essay questions. I then have a six page paper to write for another 300-level English course on the twentieth-century novel (which I also have a page single-spaced, creative writing assignment for based on a Holocaust book we’re reading) then I have to read Alcestis by Euripides which is approximately 80 pages of dialogue. This is all being done before and after hockey practice at 6:00AM, work on campus from 8:30-10:30AM, and class from 10:30AM-2:20PM then another practice from 4:00-5:00PM. Oh and during awake hours 8-14 I was in the emergency room for a wrist-shot to the ear which cut a 30-stitch worth gash through my skin and cartilidge. You just have to love university life! HOPEFULLY around hour 58 I will finally be done and be able to sleep for awhile.

I would provide jobs in restructuring rehabbing existing structures into homes for each homeless person ……….in turn creating new jobs and solving the homeless society……. each home would be Totally Green & providing a small garden for each to grow their own food…
And Of Course I also would help my Sons & Grandchildren and our families……

First and fore most I would buy at least 5 lamborginis and a bugatti then I would buy 3,000 pounds of the best marijuana put 50 pounds in a trashcan in my garage have some friends over light it and shut the door then I would sell the rest and quadruple my money.. probably a few thousand in strip clubs (gotta support single moms ) and I would pee on homeless people and tell them to quit being a bum and get a job then get in the Lambo and flip them off..

1. invest in gold/silver bullion and gold/silver stocks with good fundamentals
2. watch this 10 million investment grow to 30 to 50 million before the top falls out this sector
3. rotate profits into real estate or what ever the next long term trend is..
4.quit work and start traveling the world, living in one country for a few months at a time…
5. i’ve got no debt, so that wouldn’t be an issue
6. give a million each to parents, brother, sister and wife’s parents… after the gold/silver trade runs its course…

One time I got up at normal time (8am-ish), and had to go to Hong Kong at 10pm to extend a visa (i was in Taiwan). The hong kong minitrip was 10pm to 7am, and I didn’t sleep that whole time. I came back, went home, and immediately went to work. After that I somehow ended up at a friends house.

So by the time I went to bed it was around 10pm the next day… Not quite 48 hours, but a ROUGH 40-ish hours. I mean… I was at another country and back, + I had to go to work. Sucked!

I can’t agree with you more. Such a site takes boooco (sp?) bucks and an army of workers to maintain it I’m sure. They were an inspiration for my site, zicandchacha.com, what do think?

Comment on Flowers I saw at Butchart Gardens, Vancouver Island by MickM

MickM — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 02:19:23 +0000

your tittle says it, however I have been to Butchart Garden and I think there is so much more about Butchart’s flowers than single shots. These, I feel could have been in any good garden. I mean even great photos need a good frame and sometime an identity (such as Butchart Garden) But thank you for sharing.

Comment on Ever try peanut butter on your hamburger? by Dwayne Hall

Dwayne Hall — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 18:30:53 +0000

I’m a peanut butter fanatic. I’ll eat it on almost anything–especially pancakes. But, hamburgers is the item in question. I’ve had PB burger with pineapple and teriyaki sauce at Cheeburger Cheeburger. It’s well worth the effort. My daughter even liked it–although she said it’d be better on a chicken burger (kind of like Thai peanut chicken). You’ll never know unless you’re brave enough to try…

Comment on Ink Blot Test: #1 by Chris Madden

Chris Madden — Thu, 23 Jun 2011 16:43:10 +0000

Speaking as the original creator of this blot, which appears in a book of mine about how we perceive our place in the universe (believe it or not), I can tell you that I describe it as a sort of man-insect. Although I have to say that it has a surprisingly cute head for either a man or an insect. And neither men nor insects have big paws like that either.

Comment on The Godfather, A Review by Tedd

Tedd — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 08:27:24 +0000

hey chris…if you payed attention to the dialogue in the movie you would’ve noticed that the whole “no Sicilian can refuse a request on his daughter’s wedding day” is actually said and explained…which makes me wonder if you were putting true attention to it. The movie isn’t that hard to follow. Overall its a great movie that continues to inspire….but I really think you should put a little more effort into a movie before you decide to review it. Mainly because “intense concentration is not needed to know whats going on…

I have recently been up for the past 20 days, about 3 weeks ago I was given the news that I was in the late stages of lung cancer and wasn’t expected to live much longer. Since then I’ve been marking things off and on my bucket list, if I’m gonna go I’m gonna go out knowing I lived my last moments happy.

After 7 years of problems with 1&1 asked for credit ( one month ) long
story short they froze my website and basically told me to get lost.
Pay up or you go to collection.
Seems like with all the business accounts they host and the numerous times 1 & 1 drops the ball this should be class action case
for damages to their customers. Wayne
