Wanna "B" My Friend?

Yes, I am old (older than dirt, according to some) and therefore old fashioned in my ways.

If you want me to befriend you on Messenger, you stand a better chance if:
a) Your id and display name do not include "gurl" or "boi" or any variation that contains one or more repetitions of any of those letters
b) Your id, display name and interests do not indicate you have lost your mind
c) You do not type like a teenybopper
d) Your age, if shown, is over 19 and less than double digits

Examples, for clarification:
a) "Gurl" and "boi" (and "gurrrrl" and "boiiiii" etc.). Learn to spell, stupid
b) "High all the time", "bdsm", "swinger", "unemployed for life." You need help, and I am not qualified to provide that
   "Rescued genius". Probably not
   "Keg", "Beer", "King". Get a life
c) "iLuv2", "CuSoon" and "OIC". Use the space bar, stupid
   "Weekend was great, I met some of J's friends, they like emo too, things seem to be ok…can't get enough of J…gotta get to walmart today, but what the hey, is all good". Learn punctuation, stupid
   "MMMM, LUV J (hahaha) LOL MMM GOOD (hahaha)". For the love of gord
d) A 14 year old who does not share my DNA has nothing in common with me.
   A 255 year old should be writing to Guinness Records, not to me.

Google Gateway Awry?

Fascinating. For about the last hour, attempts to use Google result in "Bad Gateway" aka "502 Bad Gateway". The host name was not found during the DNS lookup.

This hostess is not pleased. My research slows considerably under such restrictions.

Ah, Dragon

A quiz that actually generated an answer for me:
Dragon Banner
You're a dragon. You're smart and cunning, and
enjoy taking risks. Your need for independence
is an advantage, but sometimes it alienates you
from others. As far as *good* and *evil*,
you're pretty neutral--but you may have
something of a wicked streak.


What mythical beast are you?

Gratuitous ad hype included because I have a wicked streak.

Insincere Flattery?

Oh yeah … FYI … my email id is at yahoo.ca, not yahoo.com. If you, like me, receive spam from stupid angry canajun @ yahoo dot com, the spam is NOT from me. I probably should have reserved the stupid angry id at yahoo.com, hotmail and all other free email sites. But I did not. Now I shall spend time fretting that people will suspect me of being a secret spammer.

OK. Fretting complete.

Pirate Talk

Had the netnotwork situation occurred at my office today, this is clearly how I would have responded: "Aye, networkin' be parto'me job description, so be makin' t'coffee and how often do I do that?"
Check out Talk Like A Pirate, courtesy of BlogsCanada.
For the record: I are The Cap'n! Some men are born great, some achieve greatness and some slit the throats of any man that stands between them and the mantle of power. You never met a man you couldn't eviscerate. Not that mindless violence is the only avenue open to you - but why take an avenue when you have complete freeway access? You are the definitive Man of Action. You are James Bond in a blousy shirt and drawstring-fly pants. Your swash was buckled long ago and you have never been so sure of anything in your life as in your ability to bend everyone to your will. You will call anyone out and cut off their head if they show any sign of taking you on or backing down. You cannot be saddled with tedious underlings, but if one of your lieutenants shows an overly developed sense of ambition he may find more suitable accommodations in Davy Jones' locker. That is, of course, IF you notice him. You tend to be self absorbed - a weakness that may keep you from seeing enemies where they are and imagining them where they are not. Arrrrr! (From the same Talk Like A Pirate link)

I feel like a dinosaur

Buying an airline ticket, on the Internet, for Boss: it takes me over an hour. I schedule this task close to the end of the day. The energy consumed by online ticket purchases leaves me a blubbering mass of scar tissue. In that condition, I am only capable of driving home, not taking on any pursuit that requires brain activity. I thought chat rooms happened when Hubby and I end up in the bathroom at the same time. So here's Al Qaeda recruiting on-line. News like this just ages a person.
Personal Piss-off Rating: 146.5 Peeves (My approximate age)
