I'm sick of hearing every marketing rep regurgitating how "robust" there marketing strategies are. I heard one lady repeat that term at least four times in one presentation....

My step father raised from about 12 years old until I left home on my own. He was a business owner for most of his life. When he passed away in 2002 his biological daughter asked me if there was anything I wanted as they were going through his things. I told her the only thing I was interested in wa...

You know what's kept me goin' all these years? The thought that one day -- Never mind.
Silly. Just the thought that maybe one day, I'd -- I could have a woman's arms wrapped around me... and her legs wrapped around me.
That I could wake up in the morning and she'd still be there. Smell of h...
re: Online degrees
Posted by GumbeauxGuy on 11/26/21 at 5:50 pm
Not my opinion, but I've had a hiring manager tell me that he dumps applicants that have degrees from the University of Phoenix. I don't know why, maybe a bad experience with a graduate? Not sure about the others....
re: Reading dog threads on here for years.... when do you know it's time for the big sleep?
Posted by GumbeauxGuy on 11/13/21 at 12:04 am
I'm not saying that what I'm about to tell you is the answer for your dog, however, it was about 2 years ago my wife asked me if we should put our pet down. She was 14 years old, grey in the face and moving very slowly. She slept most of the day and had no motivation to eat. She ate but it was a job...

It's a fragile thing, this life we lead
If I think too much, I can't get over
When by the grace, by which we live
Our lives with death over our shoulders
Want you to know, that should I go
I always loved you, held you high above too
I studied your face, the fear goes away...

re: Hot saltwater mixture to help frozen pipes

Spring break a million years ago, late 80's in Ft Walton, There was a storm hitting New Orleans so the surf was pretty heavy in Florida. I was in the water when a huge wave came up, I jumped up and turned my back to the impact. As the wave broke past me a girl with an impressive set was facing the w...

Agreed, a cell phone isn't worth a persons life. The value of that transaction was established when the criminal made the decision that an innocent persons phone had more value than said persons life, and pointed a gun at him. The intended victim now has to make the decision, who's life is more valu...

re: Let's see what BLM does now
Posted by GumbeauxGuy on 7/15/20 at 10:10 pm
I guess you didn't hear Don Lemon when he announced that the BLM is a movement meant to call out only Police brutality against the black community, evidently you need to start a separate movement to call attention to B on B crime/murders. I guess it doesn't make sense to have one movement cover all ...

When I was in high school I remember standing in line at the grocery store and seeing a lady in front of me paying her bill with food stamps. There was something familiar about the colors of the paper they were printed on, suddenly, it hit me like a brick, that was the same color of the "money" that...
