You'd think crooks would be smarter
I guess crooks don't know the real business world works with lawyers/legalese/proper language, if anything, to cover their butts. Typos are just not professional ( Read more... ) -
LJ privacy concerns!!!
(edited many times because preview button won't work. Ratti, 8am PST)
Maybe everyone knows this but me, and maybe this is the same for all sites (like FB?) where people are trying to maintain some privacy in what they write...
I've noticed that although I've changed my settings to "just me" (by way of experiment), I can find my journal on Google by ( Read more... ) -
Experiments with polenta burgers
I guess burgers are more on my mind now that it's BBQ season.
I've been very frustrated that I can't find veggie burgers or weiners that don't have wheat in them, and ideally no soy.
The form of polenta I buy is the type in a sort of tube, shaped like a salami. I usually cut a few slices and fry it in butter. YUM!
That got me thinking about using ( Read more... ) -

Last night was about the expulsion of the Asians from Uganda in 1972. These weren't just ( Read more... ) -
Wouldn't it be nice if we could ALL vote ourselves a pay raise??!
I'm sure this madness is probably the same with politicians the world over...THEY get to say how much they'll get paid. They make sure no one else gets cost-of-living/inflation increases.

The Big O Faisco (Vancouver Olympics)
In my humble opinion
First of all, why would anyone think to hold them in the warmest spot in Canada? When people think "Canada" they think land of ice and snow. Vancouver and region is the only spot that ISN'T. Its climate is virtually identical to Seattle Washington and Portland Oregon. In a pinch I can watch a weather report on TV from ( Read more... ) -
Groovy-looking clouds
But sadly, I had no camera.
Leaving work yesterday I was headed north and to the north of Vancouver is the Coastal Mountain Range (you can't get lost here if you can see the mountains!). The clouds always gather there, so that was nothing new. However the clouds themselves looked AMAZING yesterday! They were all pushed into the mountains and looked ( Read more... )
