Act of God???
This is bugging the fuck out of me. I just need to vent a little.
http://www.ksat.com/news/18279836/detail.html
So you ran over the old woman, the baby flew out of her arms, smashed into the windshield, rolled up the windshield, and then fell through the open sunroof sustaining only minor injuries. But the sunroof being open was an Act of God. If your God was involved, having the sunroof open wasn't where the miracle was happening. Maybe God made the sun come out earlier so that you would open the sunroof that day? Is that it? God is causing global warming so that today you would have the sunroof open when you mowed down an old woman carrying a baby. Must be it. I'm sure that's what the family is saying right now, "Grandma has tire tracks and a Chevy logo embedded in her forehead, but God's watching the weather channel and He's got a sunroof override switch on the right side of the Captain's Command Chair of Heaven, so we're cool."
An Act of God is you not running someone over every freaking day while you are fucking with the damn sunroof controller. Thank God you weren't poor and upgraded to the car with a sunroof. Sunroofs should be standard equipment on all vehicles. It will save the lives of babies. Even if it saves one baby's life, isn't that worth it? Thank God you fart sunshine and flowers for all us sinners.
Everybody has a different definition and description for their own faith, but when you start attributing the most dumbass part of the entire thing to An Act of God, you are a fucking moron. Oh my! It was an Act of God that I didn't have a delicate glass vase in the passenger seat that the baby that flew in through the sunroof (after I plowed over his grandmother) could have landed on. He could have been run over AND sliced to bits. Thank God I just ran him and his grandmother over. Blessity bless and Praisity Praise!
Wouldn't an Act of God be somehow avoiding hitting the old lady carrying a baby? I'll even step way beyond my own faith and sincerely thank anybody's god who might have been involved that the kid's skull didn't crack open like a stale egg all over your freaking windshield. That's the image that will stick in my head, and I hope to your fucking God you keep it in yours.

Movie reviewer reviews
Amazon can review the reviews people give to things. Is anyone doing this for movie reviews? Can we aggregate reviewer opinions and somehow create a comparison to what we thought of a movie? That way we can say "Oh! This guy hated it, I'll love it."

Online Identity Manager
Je has already started thinking and working this out, but wouldn't it be great if you had a ID manager that would allow you to customize your online identities? Not an online "identity manager" but an "online identity" manager (that could be online). Open ID with multiple IDs.
There are more and more social networks popping up for everything. Some you want to have more personal information about you, others not so much. Work related social networks use this group of information, kangaroo clown porn networks use this more anonymous information, for example.
If you could manage all your identities in one place, that would be helpful. It could be online, or a desktop AIR style app.

18 Rules from the DL
You've seen this before I'm sure, but this is just a note for me to pass on to Lil Froggy. I don't know if the Dalai Lama really made these, but it doesn't really matter to me.
Gives new meaning to "Keeping it on the DL"
Gives new meaning to "Keeping it on the DL"
The Dalai Lama’s 18 Rules For Living Your Life
1. Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk.
2. When you lose, don’t lose the lesson.
3. Follow the three Rs:
1. Respect for self
2. Respect for others
3. Responsibility for all your actions.
4. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.
5. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.
6. Don’t let a little dispute injure a great friendship.
7. When you realize you’ve made a mistake, take immediate steps to correct it.
8. Spend some time alone every day.
9. Open your arms to change, but don’t let go of your values.
10. Remember that silence is sometimes the best answer.
11. Live a good, honourable life. Then when you get older and think back, you’ll be able to enjoy it a second time.
12. A loving atmosphere in your home is the foundation for your life.
13. In disagreements with loved ones, deal only with the current situation. Don’t bring up the past.
14. Share your knowledge. It’s a way to achieve immortality.
15. Be gentle with the earth.
16. Once a year, go someplace you’ve never been before.
17. Remember that the best relationship is one in which your love for each other exceeds your need for each other.
18. Judge your success by what you had to give up in order to get it.
And my own addition:
19. Let other people live their life by their rules, no matter how f*d up they seem.

Getting back together.
I love that over the holidays, long lost friends and family show up and you can get back in touch. And then there are the new friends you haven't met yet.
Makes me all squishy inside.
My new friend Kacy here is a pretty high up in the Lamb and Welding world:
Ministry of Commerce
Ming Yuan
---------------------------------------
Greetings
Fromn Mrs.Kacy Meng
I know that this may come to as a surprise, I am the above named person from Hong Kong, and married to late Mr.John Meng who used to be a private contractor with the Mobil Petroleum Company in Benin Republic before he died in the year 2005.We were married for Nine years without a child.
Yes, I am truly surprised! The person writing the letter is the very same person who is named in the letter! Talk about culture clash.
When my late husband was alive he Made a numbered time (Fixed deposit) for 36 calendar months, valued at USD$3,000,000.00 with a Finance House in Benin Republic for safe keeping as Fund Belonging to his foreign business associate.This money have been floating as unclaimed since 2003 in the bank. According to the Benin law at the expiration of 5 (FIVE) years, the Money will revert to the ownership of the Benin Government if nobody applies to claim the fund.
It must be amazingly simple to open a bank account over there. No names, no ID. You want to put money in our finance house? Sure! Come on in. We'll put it in this mostly clean pickle jar in the corner for you. When you or anyone else needs it, just ask. BTW, what's a finance house? Is that like a public house in Britain? That's a pretty big tab. You might consider a new place to put your money. And lets not even get into the "If you don't claim it, I get it" policy. Who agreed to that? Oh, and where's the foreign business associate? Something here is starting to smell fishy to me.
Presently,I'm in a hospital where I have been under going treatment for oesophageal cancer,I have since lost the ability to talk and my doctors have told me that I do not have much time to live.It is my wish to see this money distributed amoung charity organizations and also to be useful to you,because relatives and friends have plundered so much of my wealth since my illness,I can not live with the agony of entrusting this huge responsibility to any of them again.
Ironic that you won't have to live with it, it seems. HEY! Maybe you don't have cancer! Maybe you have agony-itis, and once you give me all your money, you'll be cured! This could be a legit thing after all. This could be my chance to make a Christmas miracle!
Please,I beg you in the name of God to help me retrieve this money as soon as possible, I took this decision because I don't have any child that will inherit this money.
Great. Now you're bringing God into this and he's going to want a cut. Don't you realize that 3 million doesn't go that far anymore? By the time fees and taxes are taken out, we're going to be splitting about $700k, and then there's the wire transfers, account setup fees. Ugh. Pain in the ass. Maybe God should just take this one on his own.
As soon as I receive your reply I shall give you the contact of the Accredited Lawyer incharge of the Fund who will advise you the best procedure to get the money transferred to your account,Please be sympathetic and assure me that you will act accordingly as I stated herein.
I wonder if I got my own Accredited Lawyer, could we speed things up a little? As often as I deal with this, I have a guy who really understands the ins and outs of this process. I should forward his contact information.
Regards
Mrs.Kacy Meng
