I read a good one in the Australian yesterday: In the bad old days, there were three easy ways of losing money-racing being the quickest, women the pleasantest and farming the most certain. - Earl Amherst, 1773-1857 1:18:34 AM

Random e-pinion on Toastweb Hey Toasty, My first epinion is I think you should spruce up your photo. It's a very nice photo if you're selling candy for the church. However in this case you should have a photo, muscic, pictures, etc. symbolic of your cause. Lets see, what can we use to symbolize social angst?? hum... Thanks for the info sounds like an interesting place to be. When do you expect to host these discussion groups? Have you had your site up for awhile b/c there doesn't seem to be much there to date?? Just out of random curiosity are you trying to form some sort of militia group? USA - Monday, February 14, 2000 at 22:30:25 (EST) 1:17:16 AM

I heard a rumor the Dunkin' Donuts coffee has twice the caffeine as normal coffee. Is this true? It would explain its popularity, due to the addictive nature of caffeine. 1:16:49 AM

thanks for the tidbit johnny c. i just saw 28 days(hey how about that my favorite two actresses in a row, reese and sandra) she is a drunk, never seen that before, she goes to rehab, evryone is really annoying at least from her point of view, (go with that) but the movie kept me mildly entertained. its not a big screen movie, the ww11 submarine movie(due next week) looks like a big screen movie.28 days is proabbly better than the movie out webmaster saw, and remember it does have sandra bullock in it, that is always worth something. kevin thome <kthome@pdq.net> houston, tx USA - Monday, April 17, 2000 at 22:32:13 (EDT) 1:15:09 AM

(During an interview with Sam) Dr. Fieldstone: Tell me what was so special about your wife? Sam:...Well, it was a million tiny little things that, when you added them all up, they meant we were supposed to be together...and I knew it. I knew it the very first time I touched her. It was like coming home...the only real home I'd ever known. It was like... Magic! ~Sleepless In Seattle avery michaels <Mlarenf1@yahoo.com> Paris, France - Tuesday, April 18, 2000 at 13:07:04 (EDT) 1:14:57 AM

I spent most of my money on women & wine. The rest I just wasted 1:14:28 AM

? Often the CEO asks a strategic planning staff, consultants or investment bankers whether an acquisition or two might make sense. That’s like asking your interior decorator whether you need a $50 000 rug. ? It is folly to forego buying shares in an outstanding business whose long-term future is predictable, because of short-term worries about an economy or a stock market that we know to be unpredictable. Why scrap an informed decision because of an uninformed guess? ? In an unregulated commodity business, a company must lower its cost to competitive levels or face extinction. ? Political end economic forecasts are an expensive distraction for many investors and businessmen. ? Fear is the foe of the faddist and the friend of the fundamentalist. ? The only value of stock forecasters is to make fortune tellers look good. ? Short-term forecasts are poison and should be kept locked up in a safe place, away from children and also from grown-ups who behave in the market like children. ? It is better to buy good businesses at fair prices rather than fair businesses at good prices. warren Omaha, Nebraska USA - Wednesday, June 21, 2000 at 22:18:36 (EDT) 1:14:19 AM

"Where The Heart Is" is basically like "Forest Gump" except with a chick as the protagonist. Though it is a little more realistic than Gump it is another movie where a stupid person finds success and happiness in life. I hate to admit that I enjoyed it but it was an upbeat film. The tornado sequence reminded me of growing up in Texas. 1:14:03 AM

Philip Seymoure Hoffman is quite an actor Trevor T. Dawg <Bones@dogheaven.com> 1:13:45 AM

Watching Office Space on company time is so much fun it should be illegal. "Yeah, how's it going? I'm gonna have to go ahead and ask you to come in on Saturday. We lost a few people and are playing catch-up." 1:13:36 AM

A short quiz and some observations... Do you know who, in 1923, was:  1. President of the largest steel company? 2. President of the largest gas company? 3. President of the New York Stock Exchange? 4. Greatest wheat speculator? 5. President of the Bank International Settlement? 6. Great Bear of Wall Street? These men should have been considered some of the world's most successful men. At least, they found the secret of making money. Now almost 80 years later, do you know what became of these men? 1. The president of the largest steel company, Charles Schwab, died a pauper. 2. The president of the largest gas company, Edward Hopson, went insane. 3. The president of the NYSE, Richard Whitney, was released from prison to die at home. 4. The greatest wheat speculator, Arthur Cooger, died abroad, penniless. 5. The president of the Bank of International Settlement, shot himself. 6. The Great Bear of Wall Street, Cosabee Livermore, died of suicide. In that same year, 1923, the winner of the most important golf championship, Gene Sarazan, won both the US Open and PGA Championship. He died in 1999 at the age of 95, had played golf until he was 92, and was financially solvent at his death. Conclusion: __________________ (fill in the blank) 1:12:37 AM

I was reading the paper the other day and some pundit was carrying on about the great loss we Americans are suffering due to the over abundance of stores such as Starbucks, Walmart, and The Gap, resulting in such a loss of personal identity and uniquness, etc. I get kind of tired of this type of argument and really do not feel it is true. There is a Starbucks at the town center and it is packed, not because of some clever marketing scheme that tricks people out of having a personallity, but because it offers great value and people enjoy it. You get what you want (good coffee and good atmosphere) every time and you choose to go there. Same for Walmart, McDonalds, and The Gap. If you want high quality, reliable, dependable, and good looking clothes, The Gap is the place to go. If you want something different, feel free to go and get it, but The Gap is not forcing helpless soules to purchase its products through some kind of mind wash, it does as well as it does because people want it. It is that simple, and to argue that people do not know what they want or that they fail to see the long-term or the extranalities and that you are better suited to dictate public choice smells to me of elitism at best. 1:10:08 AM

Check out Web-velocity.com It's my new favorite site!!! Avery Michaels  USA - Tuesday, March 05, 2002 at 20:53:22 (EST) 1:09:50 AM

I hate 56K.  In order to watch the highly rated Ellen Feiss  add, I was forced to download a new version of Apple Quicktime (why is that software always out-o-date?) with a minimum size of 5MB.  Perhaps I should pack the PC in the care, plug it into the cigarette lighter, and drive down to the local starbucks to get on a high speed network. 1:05:39 AM

The best things in life are free.  From  [John Patrick's Weblog]  Ocean City Surfing. I arrived in Ocean City, New Jersey for a visit with some family on Wednesday night. After dinner it was time to check some email and things on the web so I got out my RJ-11 phone cable and plugged it into the phone jack in the wall. Then it occurred to me to try Boingo instead.  (read more)   12:52:18 AM

Again, getting started is more complicated than one would think 12:49:20 AM

This is my second attempt at creating a weblog.  (I have already lost the first attempt, so it is not as easy as one might think) 12:37:07 AM
