You brought up the word sadistic. That about covers it.

I wish it were Friday afternoon about 4:45pm.

At least our meeting to discuss the marketing people and our web site isn't until the middle of next week. I wouldn't need a meeting. I would fire them and have the web company take care of the SEO and submit the ads through an ad agency.

Used to be a member of an SEO group. After several years they decided the best practice was to make the website as customer friendly as possible it would get the higher ranking and they disbanded. Google is always updating their algorithms to list those site first instead of the ones that try to cater to their search engine algorithms. Of course they do need the few simple things like robot.txt index etc.

OK, new rule:

If your name is something un-pronounceable for the average intelligent American and has more than 12 letters and one vowel and the domain is more than 10 letters don't call me on a cell phone that was out dated 10 years ago and expect me to be able to email you. I could just occasionally hear the guy and he had no cadence. Heck I had to try several times to get his phone number.. Who the heck gives their phone number as 12-2345-43-21, come on!

Area code, central office code, specific phone number. 3 digits, 3 digits, 4 digits.

His email address would not fit on a business card unless it was 4 point type.

Just go to our web site and you can find my email address. I will reply with your price quote. Arggh.

I agree. That's why I say let the people that built it take care of it. We also pay to be listed at the top in the ad so why pay extra for more of what we are paying for. Some days...

Hey, at least Aaron Rodgers can hang a ball in the air a long time.

Nah, never had a mung on one of 'em (they're protected) but I hear they don't taste too bad for bush tucker.

We get the big goanna's out here, they can get up to 2 meters in length. They've got bloody long claws and sharp teeth (both will open you up real quick) and can run faster than we can. It has been recently discovered via MRI that they also have a venom gland and when they bite they grind the venom in with their razor sharp teeth. The venom causes a nasty infection similar to a necrosis.

Fortunately they're not too interested in us coz we smell like weird trees. They will attack if threatened though.

Morning all.

WTF is wrong with people?

Glen yes by all means please send your chiropractor over to see me, I have some stiffness I need worked out.

Well found a deal I could not pass up and ended bringing home a useless spoon, it is called The Judge, Night circuit judge to be exact it is a 410 shotgun in the form of a revolver but will shoot 45 Long colt which is a rather nasty round. It will be great for hiking up in snake central where Beth and I like to go hike.

Oh great, SIL just came by and got an arm full of picture albums. I wouldn't mind, but she takes pictures out to have copies made, then DOESN'T PUT THEM BACK. Just gives back the albums with the pictures stuffed in them. Arrrgh, some people indeed.

The tree is just a stump. The backyard looks alien. Our male dog looks depressed and he will not even go back there to investigate. His squirrel chasing days are over and he hates that.

I don't know where they went in the albums. And she takes three or four at time an freaking mixes them up. Mom spent a lot of time arranging all the photo albums and there are like 30 of them. It's just that she doesn't value my stuff enough to put the pictures pack where they were when she takes them and has copies made. i don't want to have to figure out where the pictures went just because she wanted copies. It's a ***** being the youngest sibling when they have no respect.
