    Worst jobs you had.

    I did a temp job where I had to attach plastic handles to plastic pails. It had to be done quickly because if either cooled, you couldn't get the handle on without a great deal of difficulty and then of course you fell behind and made the cycle worse. 12 hour shifts with the smell of warm...

    Need some solid browser games

    Trentonmade is a fun Mafia style browser game. Run a family, keep to yourself or attack other players. Do quests and missions and build up your bank. I've been off and on this game for about 3 years. http://www.trentonmade.com/register.php?REF=12437

    Buy Now to Play The Old Republic Early

    As another said, launches rarely go smooth. As much as I'd like to be there on day one, I think I'll wait and see the reactions from others before I dive in. It's a pretty ambitious offering and sure to have some bugs that need to be addressed.

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    I capitalize the "B", because even though I am not using it's proper title, so as not to be an advertising whore, I still think of it as it's name. My Blog just replaces that. As to the link, you can find it in my profile. Sorry, double post. I guess something is running a little slow and I...

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    "You" should be "you're" and "documentary" and "education" are spelled wrong. Also, "to" should be "too". We could go on all day with probably each and every post, but you are missing the point. It was never about each and every little bit of punctuation or small grammatical errors that are...

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    Wait...what? What grammatical errors do you see? Clean up what? Again, as for my misuse of Zero Punctuation, it was the backlink that I used from my Blog and therefore had it on the brain. It's a fairly minor indiscretion, but one some of you obviously find offensive.

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    I don't see any besides degradation, perhaps you would care to bold them for me. As for my Zero Punctuation faux pas, that again has been covered and is a navigational error, rather than an educated one. Lot's of lazy people here, only furthering my point...

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    Seriously? Yes, the spelling of degradation has been covered multiple times now. I can only assume you did not bother to read it all, just wanted to get your two cents in. The whole point of this was not to pick apart blocks of text and their structure and punctuation, but rather how a sentence...

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    This was intended to be a general statement, but let me clarify a few points. The observations were not only gathered from the internet, but from what I have observed, or heard in conversation, in everyday life. The internet was only an example close at hand and one we are all familiar with...

    Mass Effect, Love the game, but...nothing draws me back to play it again.

    Absolutely. I have played all the classes and experienced all the outcomes for all those games as well as the Fallout series. I'm the type of player that has to find and do everything in the game. Having multiple save games from ME1 and ME2 will greatly enhance my ME3 experience.

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    Really? You see conveying yourself in a clear, concise manner "useless" and only the domain of "old farts". Good luck in your future endeavors if you feel these skills "garbage". Wait until you have to write a report or give a presentation, or even convince your boss that you deserve a raise...

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    You presume to assume a lot. I am not just referring to comment areas. I am also continually upgrading my education, so it appears that you know not of what you speak.

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    Yes, that should have read "with" Zero Punctuation. And you would be, what, anti-Canadian? @Turigamot: Good point and quite the over-sight. However, I'm not a spelling nazi, rather I'm pointing out whole posts or articles of sentences that make little sense due to their grammar and structure.

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    I realize I have put too much the onus on the teachers and left the parenting out of the equation, which is unfair. No amount of teaching is going to "stick" or be absorbed if the parent(s) do not support or enforce the issue. If you allow your child to be a "slacker" at home, chances are it...

    The Degradation of Basic Education

    While scouring the internet for news and information to include in my Blog, I am constantly astonished at the deplorable grammar and lack of punctuation. Especially in an era of "spellcheck" and where even your browser can point out your spelling mistakes, these are continually left unchecked...
