Boycott Blockbuster!!!

by LuckyLucy in

my friend and i went to rent a movie from blockbuster video and they charged us a late fee for a movie i rented 3 months ago.

i have rented dozens of movies since then and they never said anything and i am positive i got it back on time.

this has happeded before.. soooo...to make a long story short....i went home and got on line and did a search on blockbuster....nothing but locations and stuff on new releases...blah blah blah...so i started to think ...hmmm maybe they just made a mistake with me...thats cool.. on a whim i typed in blockbuster ripoff and poof!!

I discovered the convenience of pay-per-view. It's great, no late fees and I don't have to travel to the nearest video store (which btw, is a Blockbuster - they're based in this area so they are everywhere) to get a video. I am not fond of BB either. Seems like a real money making racket. Do I sense a class action law suit??

The "end" will happen one day. Our end could happen any time.

Eat drink and be merry, for tomorrow you may be radioactive.

Today I received my first birthday present EVER

and it was really neat!

it felt a little strange, though.

technically, i guess this isn't my first birthday present because big tex left me a dozen roses on my car the first year we met, on the eve of my birthday (with a note that read "to my favorite middle-aged pioneer" - i married him anyway).

Scooby Doo is EVIL ! ! ! ! !

by nicolaou in

for the first time in nearly two years, we were invited out for a meal by a bunch of dubs from the cong'.

the former po, his wife and mother-in-law and a couple of single mums and their kids.

frankly i could've done without it - all the pretence etc.

I absolutely loved Scooby Doo when I was growing up (still do and watch the reruns on Cartoon Network). I also loved the Brady Bunch (still do and watch the reruns on TV Land). I never thought Scooby Doo was demonic, just fun stuff. I guess I can't watch old TV shows and live vicariously my childhood. Now Scooby Doo's demonic, what's next...I suppose "Schoolhouse Rock" songs were written by Anton LaVey.

Do You Think That You're Smart?

after reading some posts on this forum, it is easy to see that some people here are extremely gifted.

some write beautifully.

some arguments are brilliant, too.

Sometimes I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but that's usually because I have too much on my mind at the time and not organized.

I am not in the mood to be so self-indulgent this year. What I am in the mood for is to see people get their jobs back and/or new employment. Too many of my friends are doing without this year and it's very sad. Let's all count our blessings that we have jobs, loved ones and a roof over our heads. Just my two cents worth.

Were You Ever Robbed At the Kingdom Hall?

by Funchback in

okay, i don't mean by "donating" your hard earned money in the contribution boxes.

or, by having your purse or pocketbook taken.

or, by armed, masked men storming into the hall demanding everyone's money and jewelry.

TresHappy

Never had that problem at the KH. Guess I had an honest bunch.

bad songs

.

i was reading a post that reminded me of the songs that were popular but was wrong to listen to for various reasons.. we all remember puff the magic dragon being about drugs, which i hear was just a rumour.. another i remember was let it be by the beatles, which was " catholic based about mary the mother of jesus" when apparently it was written about paul mccartney's own mother.

shows what they know.. which songs do you remember that were "bad" that we were not supposed to listen to?

My mom didn't want me to listen to my Elton John records because he was gay. I asked her why she had Johnny Mathis records. She just looked at me, didn't say a thing, and walked out of my room as I played "Don't Shoot Me, I'm Only the Piano Player."
