I meant that you seemed pretty reasonable!! So, tell me something I don't already know. lol Jessica, Joe is one of those lubberly, wannabe-type sailors about whom I refer when saying some are fearful to really sail so they attempt to load up a boat with "all the lubberly contraptions" like washer/dryer combos so they can feel comfortable because they are addicted to the land and the sailing life is anathema to them. Joe's erstwhile boat, "Red Cloud" was prematurely abandoned in a cold front in the Gulf of Mexico and he and his rank amateur crew were airlifted off by the Coast Guard and his boat was abandoned to her own devices and eventually sunk. Joe is a little chicken, IMO. Certainly is no sailor. If his skills were 1/10th as big as his mouth he might amount to something. As it stands now he's a disgrace. Why, the moron doesn't even know the proper sized American flag to fly and he flies it in the wrong place. Nothing screams incompetence like disrespect for one's flag. Bummer that he lost his boat... Did they make him pay for his airlift? Seems like things would be a lot better if people paid for their mistakes... or at least had to make some kind of partial payment. It might cut down on the nonsense. Right you are. People are way to quick to pull the epirb switch because there is no charge for a rescue operation. No charge for the rescued, at least. Just another taxpayer-funded operation. It used to be sailors had pride and would not abandon a boat until they had to step up into the life raft from it. Nowadays people sprain an ankle or get a little seasick and they call the Coast Guard. It's deplorable and unseamanlike. Eprib... right, that's the emergency beacon. I guess in a big storm or you get run over or something. Seems like people should just be a bit more self-reliant. I mean if you're not prepared for what you're going to do, why do it? Just to be stupid??? If I go to a bar in a bad neighborhood, I get what I deserve, so what's so different than going out in a storm in a crappy boat with no skills. Can you believe it... I had this flag on the back of my bike seat and it got torn off by some jerk as I rode by. That happened last summer... right on the beach run. Fortunately, there was a bike cop following behind me (didn't realize he was there for 1/2 mile, but he didn't bust me for speeding - yeah, they have speed limits for bikes on the beach run), so he made him give it back or go to jail. The pole was all bent up, so now it doesn't work. Probably some flag-burning liberal creep. Those communist creeps hate the flag. So, a bike cop was following you for 1/2 mile? Cops in California must be in better shape than they are around here. Hell, around here if they can't drive a car they can hardly move all - their bellies are so big. So, you must have been wearing a bikini for that cop to follow you so far? LOL. Too bad about the flag pole. A bent pole is no laughing matter. snicker I'm fricken sick of the city here. Everything is the momma state. The cops are in good shape... the ones who are riding anyway. He was actually pretty nice, then of course, asked for my number... I don't think so. I was just wearing shorts and a long-sleeve top. I don't usually wear the bikini when riding... too much exposure for the sun. Also, there's the unbent pole danger. lol Wilbur Hubbard |

But, you know how liberals are - none of them believe in the concept of actions and consequences. If they are beset with problems NEVER do they ascribe a cause to them. They just go along thinking some crap such as, "Why do I get all the bad luck." Some of them are incapable of learning as they never relate a consequence from an action. Duh! Dive in an empty pool and break your neck. A liberal will blame some person for not keeping the pool full. That's why I can't stand a liberal - they cause then entire world to slide into ineptitude. All their problems and stupidity is foisted off on everybody else - even those of us perceptive enough to understand action/consequence. snip I'm fricken sick of the city here.

Oh, and don't fear the sun. People need sun so their skin can produce lots of vitamin D which is necessary for just about every bodily function and even mental health. If one avoids the midday sun and enjoys the early morning and late afternoon sun, this skin cancer hyped-up crap is nothing to worry about. On the other hand, women (one out of nine of them these days) need to worry more about breast cancer than skin cancer. Here's a clue. Stop with the underarm anti-perspirants and deodorants. It is my learned opinion that the rise in breast cancer is directly due to this underarm deodarant/anti-perspirant fetish. Imagine the chemicals soaked into the skin day in and day out right near the breasts. No wonder breast cancer is ten times higher today than it was 100 years ago before people started slathering and spraying chemicals under their arms (Yes, even men are at higher risk today for breast cancer). A twice daily wash with soap and water is adequate to deodarize the underarm and will not be a health risk. Besides, if a man is offended by a little natural pheremones from the underarm he's not worth a woman's time anyhow. You're an athlete, or so you said, so you know that fresh underarm sweat doesn't smell bad. It only starts to smell bad hours later if the oils it contains remain and become the home for bacteria. What's with this anti-perspirant crap anyhow that stops a natural and necessary body function. Can that be good for a body? NOT! Wilbur Hubbard |

Wilbur Hubbard What's wrong with a warranty exchange?? I don't get it. Wal-Mart is pretty good about taking stuff back.. Home Depot took back cabinet I bought that basically fell apart. All I needed was the receipt. |

Way too much red tape to be sure and it shouldn't be up to the construction worker to have to deal with that crap. Let the foremen and the office staff handle it. But, even so, with with govt-run workers comp, every time a worker gets some sort of injury that needs medical attention it's off to a drug testing facility for the poor chap. Are the bosses held to the same standards? Hell no, they aren't. Freaking hypocrites. snip Is it plain, natural sweat that stains or is it a combination of sweat and deodorants that stain?

Considering the work you do, you shouldn't worry about a little honest sweat when you're out in the hot sun. If you go from a hot, dirty work place back to the office, you should be given the opportunity to shower and change clothes when you get back to the office setting. Smoking IS gross!

How can you not think it's going to hurt you to breathe in all that crap (I mean LA air) and on top of that breathe in all cig smoke. Blech.. LOL! Morons, indeed. Do you remember the ad campaign where they had various animals smoking cigarettes and how stupid the animals looked doing it. Smokers don't realize it but they look even MORE stupid considering they claim to be more intelligent than dumb animals. I hope you don't stay too long where you must breathe dirty air 24/7. It will shorten your life for sure. I hope to live a long time because the air I'm breathing is pretty darned clean. That's one of the reasons I object so much to filthy diesel exhaust and the jerks who are addicted to diesels. I value very highly my health and the clean air I have set myself up to breath. When some jerk comes along and cause me to breath their pollution I become highly offended by their oafishness. You might be able to find an inspectors job here in the Florida Keys with the water company. They have several inspectors and have job openings from time to time. Perhaps you should put in an application if and when you get really sick of California. http://www.fkaa.com/ Wilbur Hubbard |
