Everybody Loves Jeff Dunham -- Or Do They? {Inside TV Blog}
Nov 5th 2009 12:53PM Daynah...I really do not know where your story is coming from. Look at the vote because as of right now, almost 94% love him. It's the 6% who do not seem to take a stereotype and laugh at it. I really do not see a basis of this article except to have a very popular name be flashed so your opinion is read. I feel worse for having read this and contributed to your hit count honestly.
A Cleaning Routine for Busy People {Shelterpop}
Nov 4th 2009 2:59PM I totally agree with you Denise and thank you for sound advice! If both partners are working, a house maid once a week or so would be a great idea. I do know that in some cases the wife could feel somewhat unworthy as it seems like a disrespect, but I agree that it should be done. I am not married and do not know much about this yet except through my parents communications, but as the only person who seems to clean with me and my 3 guy roommates, it does get frustrating. =) Maybe I will pitch it to them about a house maid every so often to clean up their garbage haha!
A Cleaning Routine for Busy People {Shelterpop}
Nov 4th 2009 11:15AM I can't believe some of the non-sense that comes out of this article. If you are a stay-at-home wife, then this is what you do. If the wife and husband both work, then what makes you think that cleaning 2 hours twice a week is a possibility? Maybe once a week on a Saturday afternoon after a nap. I'm 26, work 9 hours, commute 2 1/2 hours and have rehearsals for music 3 times a week. What makes you think that I want to clean during the week? And if I have a weekend off from a gig, what makes you think the first thing I'm thinking is to clean? I would rather clean for 8 hours on one weekend every month or two then clean 4 hours every week. Just saying, this is not a very realistic idea in most people's world.
Also, one thought about having the kids help. Ya, my parents did that to me and next thing you know it, I was their slave for all chores as they sat around and did nothing. If you're going to have the kids get involved, you better be doing the same amount of work or more. Just saying, it is a psychology thing and you are their environment 90% of the time. Set an example first, then ask for help. Do not give orders. This will help your relationship with your kid so much!
What Can I Get You Folks? - Server Revenge {Slashfood}
Oct 20th 2009 4:03PM Look Hanna...at what point did you feel that your job was to decide how much someone spends on wine? I do not care if I'm paying $100 a plate, it is my choice on where I want to cut back. Your decision to change that person's drink to your amusement b/c you are missing out on maybe another $2 in tip (assuming you added gratuity in automatically) is what is disgusting with people now-a-days. It's not your choice and if it was such a fine-dining, then you talk to your manager about the change in offering this drink. Absolutely uncalled for and NO ONE deserves that treatment. Let me know when you're trying to go cheap on one thing to enjoy good on another and I would love to mess with you the same way. Wow!
Galley Gossip: How to get free beer in flight {Gadling}
Oct 16th 2009 5:17PM I do not fly much, but I love talking with anyone with a sense of humor. I am very sarcastic, so I remember when I was flying to Vegas with my buddies, we spread out in the back row. Well, lo-and-behold, the biggest passenger came to the back and we had a middle seat open. I verbally, and quietly, prayed for her not to come back and then when there was no option yelled "Damn it!" but only the crew heard it that was chatting with us. Well, needless-to-say, they started laughing hard and went to the back room. Before this, I told them that I would be downing a few drinks in light of the situation. (BTW, the woman that sat next to me and my brother was very nice, even though uncomfortable for us to sit next to because of her size, a great person!)
I bought drinks for me and my friends. A few rounds and always was nice to the flight attendants. I ended up getting a few free shots for me and my friends by "making them smile and have a good time with us." (They wouldn't drink with us for obvious reasons.)
Another BTW, best flight attendant announcement on the way to Vegas with this Southwest flight (I waited til now to say the flight name). Lets just say there were references to them walking around naked, sexual innuendos and improvised pantomiming =) All this by the flight attendant who looked like Tina Fey!
Coldplay Not Living La Vida Lawsuit {Popeater}
Sep 23rd 2009 2:21PM Do people not understand that this type of "music copying" has always existed dating back to the creation of music? In short, I will use Mozart as an example because most people know the name. He would take pieces composed by Royal Composers and "enhance" it to sound much better. It is sharing a culture and it has become about greed. People cover tunes all the time, but because someone makes your song sound better than you did, they get upset. Glad it was dismissed and hope there wasn't a side settlement we didn't hear about.
Bride-To-Be Dies After Extreme Crash Diet {That's Fit}
Sep 10th 2009 11:02AM I think everyone is missing what "500 calories per a day" means. It means, you can eat 1500 calories, just burn off 1000 calories by exercising! There is more math involved in these diets than you think. I made my own diet up and lost 19 pounds in 6 weeks, but it was a 1500 calorie diet, 8 glasses of water a day (recommended anyway) and I would eat whatever I wanted on the weekends as long as I worked out 3-4 times a week. Pretty simple people, don't be lazy!
Rapper Gets 2 Years for Cop-Killing Song {BV Black Spin}
Aug 11th 2009 3:30PM It's amazing how one sided this story is. Racist all the way you think? Find another rapper, other than an African American, that raps about shooting two cops and publicly using their names. Do so and I will gladly side with you that this is racist and help prevent it. I'm white by the way. I read your articles and this one was a bit over the top. Just prove me wrong please and then lets fight these "racist" acts by the judicial law together instead of on our "own" sides.
I am open minded to admit when I'm wrong when it happens, I hope some of you are when it may not be a "racist" conviction.
A good Samaritan in New York has 120 dinner guests -- every night {WalletPop}
Aug 5th 2009 3:38PM Haven't read comments on articles in so long, but so glad all of you are taking note of this man. It gave me goosebumps and makes me want to be a better person.
He definitely led by example during a time that could be called a recession by many...
Beyonce Fans Not So Great SAT Takers {Blackvoices Main}
Mar 18th 2009 2:20PM Monique...do you really think the study is to put a few black people down? Honestly? I wouldn't doubt that you were raised to think everyone is racist. I don't even blame you, but your mom/dad. Get over it as they are not musicians. Real musicians do not just come in and sing something that was written for them and then collect the paychecks. The term "musician" has gone WAY down by standards. Enjoy your music and post your SAT/ACT scores if you're trying to prove someone wrong. I'll give you this, I listened to Tu-Pac and scored a 28 on my ACT while falling asleep on the last part. Did I help your cause?
