  • I’ve been using Publisher for 30 years for all kinds of stuff, and I’ve gotten really, really good at it, with it all customized to my specs.

    Now they’re discontinuing it in October, and supposedly it will stop working, and all my stuff will be unusable. I’ll have the final PDFs/JPGs/Pngs, etc but none of the files, if I want to modify them, which I do, frequently. I’ve tried Word, it sucks for graphics.

    Now I’ve got to figure out a new replacement, and start a new learning curve. The one thing I am sure of is that the replacement will NOT be MicroSlop.







  • When she gave away those cars, she gave every one of those people a multi-thousand dollar tax debt that had to be paid on that car. If it was a $30,000 car, then she just saddled each of those audience members with a $10,000 tax bill.

    All she really did was force an audience of suckers to buy a sponsor’s expensive new car, not of their choice, at a steep discount, as an advertisement.

    I go to the Oprah Show, and walk out with an expensive car I don’t want, and can’t afford, but better pay for or I can go to jail. Thanks Oprah.

    Anybody with the slightest Critical Thinking Skills knew how bad this would get, way back in 2015.

    I knew who this hump was back in the 80s, and could have told you what a disaster he’d be as president back then, and would have been 75% correct, with only a 25% underestimation of how bad it would actually be.


  • I used to own an ice cream shop, and we had vegan ice cream, and a pretty good following for it. I got so I could recognize them as they were walking from their car.

    One quiet day, I saw this older couple start getting out of their car, and I said to my assistant “They’re vegan.” She asked how I knew, and I said “Just look at them, they’re obviously vegan.” She said “But they’re so old.” “You’ll see,” I said.

    They walked in, and the first thing the old guy said was “We hear you have vegan ice cream, we’re vegans!” and I could sense my assistant’s head swivel to look at me in my peripheral vision.

    As I made his ice cream, he went on to tell me how his wife makes vegan steaks so good, I wouldn’t be able to tell the difference. Yes, I could.
