January 17th Scheduled Maintenance: Postponed | Star Wars: The Old Republic.

Please buy the USPS!

We are tired of watching elderly people QQ because they can no longer mail 6 page letters to their great grandchildren, pay their bills with antiquated paper checks & cannot use a trip to the post office to buy stamps as an excuse to chat about the Great Depression & Cheese Lines with their WWI buddies.

If an outright buy out is not an option; then close it down. UPS is very close to matching Priority Mail pricing for the eBay Sellers out there.

The members of our community who still rely on the 3-10 day First Class mail can finally dust off the computer their children bought them & spend an hour or two to learn how to use it. Stop your bitching about the evils of technology and embrace it.

With the exception of the endless stream of junk mail advertisements for window treatments and aluminum siding, I rarely receive anything of value in my mailbox. In fact, I check our mail approximately every 2 week just so it doesn’t get full.

All of our bills are setup for auto pay online. We have direct deposit for all sources of income. And our family & friends send us correspondence via email or text message.

So, again, I plead with the commercial carriers. Buy the USPS and either integrate it into your existing system or liquidate it & rid us of all this nostalgic bullshit over an ancient delivery service.

Think about it..

I really wanted to do a Palin pumpkin, but I didn’t want to scare off the kids and attract horny old conservatives.

The answer is Never.

Unfortunately, those who are exploring the new “Newsstand” feature of iOS5 on the App Store for iPhones, iPads and iPods aren’t quite understanding how the magazine business works.. or the App Store for that matter.

The Apps for these magazines are marked as “Free”. These apps are a viewer for the magazines advertised, not the Magazines themselves. This is the concept that doesn’t seem to be sinking in to those thick skulls attached to the idiots posting bad reviews based on the fact that the app is advertised as “Free” however they suddenly realize that they actually have to pay for an issue or subscription in order to receive and read the publications.

The gentleman at the Newsstand on the corner will gladly allow you to browse his racks of People, Men’s Digest, Playboy, etc. free of charge. But he sure as hell isn’t going to let you walk away with the periodical without paying for it.

Use some common sense folks before you slam an app with bad reviews which clearly states in the description that a subscription or per issue payment is required in order to view the content of the publication

It takes 5 minutes to write a nasty review of an app that you don’t know how to use. It takes 20 seconds to read the instructions and avoid an unnecessary download and move on in your search for freebies.

Until next time,

Keep it in you pants.. yes, I’m talking to you Mr. Bachmann.

Don’t Pray in my School and I won’t Think in your Church.

Truth or Faith.. does it really matter? I don’t think so, but Faith tries awfully hard to pretend it is the Truth. Where as, the Truth could give a shit if Faith tags along or not.
