166: Yes Virginia the World is Full of Jerks
I caught a colleague doing something a bit unethical against me and called him on it. He was shocked and when he recovered he called me a bad name and stomped off. He must have thought that I would just let him continue taking advantage of me and that he was a clever enough chap to pull it off.
Wrong. He picked on the wrong stooge because the

168: 2008 Election Proving Once Again the USA is the Greatest Nation in the Entire Universe
At least on this planet, the USA is considered the leading democratic nation and by many scorecards the hands down numero uno country in the world. What the rest of the world is finally beginning to understand is that we in the U.S. have worked incessantly to improve and hone our political system until it is the envy of the world and the pride of
169: A Lollipop LadyThe Law Or Just An Easy Target
For years we have seen the lollipop lady as a figure head in traffic calming but is she really such a strong force, what will happen if you ignore her, perhaps a fate worst than death is in hand, are we perhaps all scared that she will jump in the air and throw each side of her shinny yellow coat to the side to unveil a large collection of uzzis th
170: A Week In The Life Of A Projector Installation Engineer
The world of projector installation has kept me busy for some time now. Not a vocation as such but I do like to take a pride in my work. I've seen the inside of all manner of schools and teaching institutions during this job. From the upper class private schools who use projector installation for inbuilt cinema entertainment to the local comprehens
171: Aaron McGruder And His Controversial Comic Strip The Boondocks
The satirical and edgy comic strip "The Boondocks," created by Aaron McGruder, involves two young African American brothers from inner-city Chicago who explore life living with their grandfather in an unassuming suburb of the big city. The strip, which ran in syndicate from April 19, 1999 to March 26, 2007, was certainly no stranger to controversy
172: After Forty Are Birthday Cards Junk Mail
My mailman hates junk mail as much as I do. Instead of putting it in the mailboxes, he stacks it neatly on the floor next to the mailboxes. I'm not sure he's fulfilling his "neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor dark of night" postal duties; but I consider my mailman a hero - a man in uniform fighting for freedom from unwanted ads.
In my personal
173: Are Compliments Paid Because They re Earned
A compliment is a verbal gift. In fact, it's the only gift that makes people happy when it's returned.
Verbal gifts come in a variety of forms - someone asking you for your advice, someone introducing you as a friend, someone copying what you did. Imitation is supposedly the sincerest form of flattery, which makes plagiarism flattery - but
174: Are Happy Hours Bar-Gains
Bargains come in all shapes and sizes. When I was in junior high, a boy gave me a going-steady ring, which I euphemistically called a friendship ring so my mother would let me wear it. Although the ring turned my finger green just about the time we were both ready to move on to greener pastures, Sam had definitely gotten more than he paid for becau
175: Are Some Of Your Friends Dog-Eared
Books are like candy. Not everyone likes the same kind. I like mysteries - the more twists and turns in the plot and the redder the herrings, the better. What I don't like are writers who take the mystery out of mysteries by summing up all the clues in the last two pages. If the butler did it, I want to follow the clues - not be treated like a clue
176: Are Superstitions Based In History
Although superstitions are passed down from generation to generation, I started a new one. I told my family that bay leaves are lucky. As soon as I said that, my sons stopped complaining about finding one in their soup.
Knocking on wood is meant to be good luck because benevolent spirits were thought to live in trees and thus knocking on anythi
177: Are The Rich Still Getting Richer
Two years ago there were fourteen Americans on the list of the world's twenty richest people. Now there are four. Thanks to Warren Buffett and his $62 billion, an American remains on op of the list and Buffett can thank his company, Berkshire Hathaway. Being able to float loans enables Buffett to buy a wide range of companies. In fact, if you've ev
178: Are They Dreams Or Messages
I dream the same dream over and over. I'm in a strange place looking for things that belong to me so I can take them home. Supposedly dreams are the voice of our subconscious, but I have no idea what my subconscious is trying to tell me or why it keeps repeating itself. Maybe it's nothing for me to worry about. Maybe my subconscious stutters.

179: Are They Shopping Malls Or Mauls
Let's hear it for shopping malls! They're not just for shopping anymore. Now they're multi-dimensional destinations, capitalistic creations of convenience, places to shop and stop - for services. You can have your nails manicured and your eyes examined. You can have your shoes repaired and your body put back in shape. Today's developers put the "al
180: Are We Acting Our Age
As baby boomers lose their boom, anti-aging is becoming big business. Baby boomers were born during the post WWII years of 1946 to 1966. Now, as baby boomers slow down, they're speeding up their search for the fountain of youth.
We all want to look younger. We try skin products, treatments and surgeries; but eventually we look in the mirror and
