What does whiny Al-qaeda what?

Geez, what a bunch of whiny  losers… If anyone even looks the wrong way in their direction, they want a jihaad. I bet if someone says “good morning” to one of them, it’s an all out ‘holy’ war. 

Here’s a link to a Washington Post article about what a bunch of children they are… “To Combat Obama”…

Sounds like unless everyone wears the same underwear as them, and  has a hissy fit the same way, then you are of Satan, and worth killing. Must make shopping a real hassle.

Sorry, I’m not ragging on muslims, unless they are sure that unless the rest of us want to join the club that we must be slaughtered, we all have our own religion and beliefs. Lighten frickin’ up…

January Adventure

HI
Started off with getting to work this morning @ 5am, cst. Too early for most normal people to be up and ‘at ‘em’, but, that way I’m home to still have the whole day yet. Getting ready to torture ourselves @ the gym. Haven’t been there in a week. The weather and work get in the way, sometimes.Then, this afternoon, we are headed off to Madison Wi with my sister for dinner, @ Bluephies, , our favorie Madison restaurant.In the evening, Maggie and Jeannine are going to the Overture Center to see psychic Lisa Williams. I’m going to be across the street @ a coffee shop w/ my macbook, downing excellent latte’s.  Should be an interesting evening. One must liven up January…

My last Dell computer

morning all,

This is a link to a story in the Irish Times newpaper…

http://www.irishtimes.com/newspaper/breaking/2009/0108/breaking8.htm

I have been in the computer usage family for almost 8 years now. 1 HP, 3 Dells, 4 Macs. For a windows PC, I really love Dell. However, being an Irish american, I really love Ireland too.  In the next year, Dell is pulling 1900 jobs from Limerick, & sending them to Poland.

I understand that businesses have to stay competitive, but, c’mon. I am sure that Dell feels like they are doing what is best for Dell, but I’m disappointed.  To show my support for my Irish peeps, I’m not going to buy any more Dells, and, there’s a good chance the Dell we are running now will go to the basement.

One has to show their support, or disagreement with a company by speaking with your dollars. I am, though I am sorry to do so.

It’s a sad story

 

 

Ground Zero for handcut crystal

 

 

Hi

we were in Ireland in July. You all know that if you are friends, or read us.  One of the many places we toured was the Waterford crystal complex in Waterford. I know, to some, Waterford is something your parents or grandparents had on top of the piano or a shelf somewhere.  Hunky and not all that attractive. That isn’t the crystal we saw in our tour of the factory. Craftsmen, some of which were there for 30 plus years, hand crafting beautiful pieces to wish for.

          However, the world economy has beat them down for several years now. On Monday, the company went into receivership, or, a bad case of bankruptcy.  We feel for the employees of the institution of glass in Ireland.  They deserve better than this for the future.
