RTFM!! RTFM!! RTFM!!

Sometimes I think I go to the trouble of writing one for no good reason. I think I’m being helpful and on top of everything. But so many times, it has proven to be a complete waste of 15-30+ minutes of my life. So many questions and problems could be averted if everyone just RTFM.

Some People Are Just Clueless (Or Absent Minded)

I run a link directory on a couple of my websites. When someone adds their website, they get sent a confirmation email so they can verify their email address really exists and I don’t get automated sign ups and whatnot.
Well, this morning I received this in my inbox (names and identifying information have been [...]

Why Do Spammers Continue to Spam Although Their Site Is Shut Down

It makes not a lick of sense to me. My near month end tallies show that I have received about 50 pieces of spam (give or take) across my 2 blogs. Sometime earlier this month, I’ve finally decided that each piece of comment spam I receive, I plan to report it to their ISP and [...]

Time For Me To Abandon Thunderbird

This Year I Will Face My Fears

My sissy kidnapped me for lunch yesterday. Granted, I went willingly cuz I just needed to get out of the house and take a break, and we had a nice time. We started talking about, what, I can’t remember, but I do remember that it got me thinking about how we take so much for [...]

God, Really, I’m Too Young To Have A Heart Attack

I love it when I feel like I’ve gotten a good early start to my day. Normally, I used to wake up around 7ish in the morning, but lately my sleep schedule has been $%&#ed to hell and I find myself waking up around 9ish-10ish (never later than 11ish) and when I wake up that [...]

Somebody in the Celebrity Justice Studio Uses Firefox

Well, I have insomnia. When I have insomnia, I watch t.v. instead of the ceiling. Since Celebrity Justice seemed like the only plausible show to tide me over until Dateline NBC started, I watched it. Then, it happened. It only lasted a few seconds - but they flashed a brief image of a website to [...]

Dude - Issues - Serious, Serious Issues

Tucker Max Tries BUTT SEX
Just so you can get a little taste of what’s in store:
I spent the summer between my 2nd and 3rd year of college suckling on the parental teat in South
Florida. It was the absolute prime of my “do anything to get laid” phase. I was recently freed from a 4-year long-distance [...]
