Open Comments

It used to be a little bit of a hassle to put future posts up ahead of time. This is easier I must admit. This should work, and we are in Canada, somewhere.

Have a great week everyone!

Hello everyone and I am waiting for the new pics—Bweldon and hope everyone is doing what they want to do in their lives. When work slows down will stop by and stay longer next time.

Just checking in……. Marc and Sally don’t become too Canadian……they talk funny hehe. Mrs. Wino, the invitation is beautiful. Emme, have a great week, Bweldon, will look forward to your posts, and Wino fixing this mean virus thingy.

Yeah.. The posting is dead for a bit. I’ve opened up comments so anyone can do it, but there won’t be any more signing in or articles for a while. Most likely, this will become an archive, and a new blog (empty) will open at this location, and everyone will need to sign in again, without the virus crapola.

Right now, I’m doing job interviews. For whatever reason, I’m putting more time and effort into that than into this blog.

I broke one of my cardinal rules, though. I already gave my two weeks’ notice to the company I work for, without a replacement job.

So far, I’ve been on two interviews and submitted one CV directly to HR. I’ve had two near-offers. Both asked me to come back. The problem is what I can do for them. Apparently, companies other than the one I work for seem to think that having more than one ability that fits their needs is a good thing, rather than something to be punished.

In both callbacks, they have said they are going to offer me a job. They just aren’t sure which one, yet.

Wino/Marc anyone?

bweldon,

After I get the site fixed, yes. Right now, I’m in talks with the host company… well, right now, it’s a monologue. If they don’t answer soon, I’ll change name servers and hosts, and just move the blog elsewhere.

When I get it done, you’ll be able to post.

We are Baaack!

Back and tired. Lots of good pics after Wino figgers out what to do.

And Bweldon, no one can post until Wino figures out what to do. Sounds like a new start to duck the current problems. I need a rest anyway.

TTFN bloggers!

Welcome home Marc and Sally,
Yeah, it looks like Wino will have to do a complete new site.

I am off to meet Wino to pick the cake out for the wedding. Happy eating…

Good luck Don. How long had you worked for Them?

If you can, put up a new open comments post and make this one “normal”. If you don’t have time, we can keep commenting on this one.

Wino:

Marc,

All told, I worked for them for 17 years.

I have found the bad file… but it is NOT on the FN server. I’m trying to figure out how it is getting called from FN. Once I figure that out, I should be able to clean it and prevent it. Dunno how long that will take.

Wino,

It seems to me that you have a Trojan or a Mal-ware program on your server that is calling up the foreign program. Do you have Norton 360? That is the latest search and destroy that really works. I also run Spyware Doctor which detects even more unwanted intruders.

Seventeen years…shame you couldn’t have got them to RIF you. It might be a stretch, but you could have gone for early retirement also.

Even Time magazine is getting it. Food for fuel is worse for people and the environment than oil. It is now okay to wipe the rain forests for bio fuels.

How’s the job hunt going, Don?

Stormy may have a short time project with UT-Austin. She is starting to look again now.

I was looking at WordPress themes again, and there is a blank slate called sand box that you can customize any way you like. Might be worth playing with.

I am thinking about using some of my mountain shots to build a theme header on my personal blog (that has gone exactly no-where so far).

Just wanted to stop by to see how things are going. It appears the same except for a few people popping in to say HI. I am saying Hi to everyone and looking forward to next week, even Charlise is getting excited. Looking forward to seeing everyone, sorry we won’t be seeing you KB.

Wino, How are things going??

Here is a good Art. to read (Everyone).

http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/05/the_omniphobia_epidemic.html

Kind of sums up how things are these days.

We took the SD cards to Ritz Camera on Grand Parkway last week and got prints for 533 of our shots. That was after culling out all of the bad shots. Now we get to pick out the best for our album of the trip. Some will also go up on the Blog.

I may put some up here if Wino hasn’t tired of WordPress.

I came across some interesting stuff earlier today, and after thinking on it for a while, decided I had to comment. As you know, Osama Hussein Carter has decided to be nicey-nicey with all of our declared enemys. I think GW may make that impossible if the War Department has any sense. Read the following.

http://www.newsmax.com/newsfront/
Report_US_to_Attack_iran/2008/05/20/97545.html?s=al&promo_code=62B6-1

Can you imagine either Obama or Clinton seeking a personal appeasement audition with Iranian Alma-whatever after we blow the crap out of their nuke aspirations? Things are getting interesting! We may just liberate Iran too.

We are in for some interesting times indeed!

I hope the wedding was everything you wanted it to be. I was grounded. My poor old explorer is dyeing on me….. I got in to come to the wedding, and the shifter won’t shift at all. Sis brought over her Buick till I can get things fixed, but I missed your wedding I am sorry.

We all missed you AW. Wondered what happened. We both have had Vehicle problems this month. A Damn rat chewed an oil cooler line on Stormy’s truck. she lost oil pressure and had to stop and put 4 qts in the engine. She lost all of that in a few blocks. Wound up being towed…AAA covered the first 3 miles…the rest was almost $100 to the repair shop. Then $400 to fix it. Then my Van blew a radiator the next week. $965 for that, after parts, labor, cleaning. No joy here.

FYI, Don is planning to take his Blog down after they get back from the HONEYMOON. He plans on restarting FauxNews on a different provider, so just be aware.

You can always check our blog, or Email us to see where things are going. (marcsally at Gmail.com)

Of Tigers and Puppies
Contributed by Russ Vaughn

Good God, will someone with an ounce of sense and experience in life counsel this boy? And I don’t use the term boy lightly because I know it’s one of those to which blacks take irrational offense but quite frankly I don’t give a rat’s ass. To me Barack Obama is indeed and in fact a boy by virtue of our relative ages; and I don’t give a horse’s patootie about his Ivy League degrees and advanced law degrees. I’ve dealt with plenty of lawyers in my life and I never found one to have a more perceptive mind than I have. In fact it’s usually to the contrary; and frankly I have found most of them to be less than trustworthy.

Further, I’m tired of having my use of the English language circumscribed because some blacks can’t get over their grievances and put the past behind them. I’m sick and damned tired of race-baiting opportunists telling me what words in the English language I can or cannot use. I am a man who uses words to present my views and establish my place in this society and as I read the U.S. Constitution, there’s no article or provision there limiting my speech because it might hurt the tender sensitivities of some particular political/racial/religious/ethnic assemblage. However, I’m sure there are liberals, black racists and ACLU lawyers who would equate my use of boy here with the yelling of fire in a crowded theater.

So yes, I’m using boy when I refer to Barack Obama because that’s exactly how he’s behaving, as an immature but incredibly arrogant adolescent, foolishly over-confident, thinking that he knows more than all of the adults who possess vastly more experience and knowledge than he does. I actually heard this kid from Southside Chicago, with no diplomatic experience, state that he feels he is more competent to deal with American foreign policy than all others currently engaged. Juvenile hubris, anyone?

So this overconfident boy proposes to step up into the world of men, hard men, vicious, cold-blooded, calculating men who stone women to death, hang homosexuals and actually starve their own people into obeisance and therein presumes to show us the true way to world peace, all the while blithely ignorant of whom he is dealing with and totally unprepared to match them in cold-eyed across-the table, negotiations that could destroy us all? Forgive me but the phrase, “Eat him for lunch,” just can’t be suppressed here.

Yet what does this untested boy show us in maturity and toughness when confronted with a much milder version of hardball politics here at home? He sends his young wife out to carry his water and then is outraged, outraged he says, when she comes under fire? To me that is nothing more than another sign of his immaturity, his lack of preparation to deal with a hard and unforgiving world. This boy actually thinks this world is supposed to be fair? Hell, that adolescent foolishness right there is enough to disqualify him from the presidency. Talk about being naive and unprepared to lead. Good God!

This green, untested boy tells us he’s prepared to face down, eye-ball to eye-ball, some of the most hardened men in the world, men who routinely take human life with impunity, but then he goes all wobbly when his domestic political opponents happen to remark on the fact that his wife seems a bit less patriotic than what a country might desire in the spouse of its leader? This boy, this inexperienced boy, has such a thin skin as to take umbrage when the president of his country correctly points out the lessons of history that appeasement of your enemy’s aggression and disregarding his lethal threats are paths to human tragedy?

Obama may be presidential material with twenty years more years of living, learning and toughening but to this old Vietnam vet, he’s not the leader I want representing my country in these very dangerous times. Yeah he looks good and has a gift of gab but that only counts to those fools who seek the easy solutions he so glibly offers. Should their enthusiasm get him elected, the tyrants of the world are going to have a lot of fun with this boy. But the bad news is, it’s going to be at America’s expense. The liberals love to claim that America has lost prestige in the world. And it’s true that many tyrants view America as a paper tiger because of our reluctance to use our military might.

Paper tiger is hard enough to bear. But hand-licking puppy?

Howdy all,
Just dropped in to let everyone know we are now married. Yeee Haaa. The honeymoon was great and can’t wait to post some pictures as soon as Wino gets things going. Wino has a new job. We have both been quite busy trying to get back into the swing of things. American Woman so sorry you couldn’t make the wedding, it was beautiful and things went without any altercations.

We will all have to get together so we can have another Faux Deaux Deaux…

Time to get busy again. Have a great all.

I was just emailing Marc that we need a get together for the ones that didn’t make it to the wedding. Maybe a famous Wino margarita night and we all bring a Mexican food dish to go with the Ritas or a Coaches night.

Fabulous idea about mexican food and margaritas. I will discuss with Wino. We will let everyone know when.

Really good news…Good news indeed!

WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court ruled Thursday that Americans have a constitutional right to keep guns in their homes for self-defense, the justices’ first major pronouncement on gun control in U.S. history.

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,372041,00.html

Now we need to get rid of the silly concealed carry nonsense.

This should decrease crime in this country, particularly in Washington.

I’m on the same page with you Marc. I will always have a gun in my house.
