Refresh this page or search on it, until you find a plausible theory.

The weather station says it's 73 degrees and with the heat index it supposed to feel like 73 degrees. The humidity is 89% so I'm calling BULLSHIT. I just spent an hour working on battery cables on a golf cart and I might as well have been standing in the rain. Soaked from head to toe with sweat and not having the least little bit of fun. Man it's muggy out there.

I really could go on about this but if you're a person working for a company, and you're sending out emails on behalf of that company? Your email should indicate the company you work for.

Oh, here's one from Heart Mountain Farm Supply. They're an advertiser; I do not care if the owner's dog sent the email, or the grease monkey or the owner... I know who it is and what I need to do about it. We got one at home from Julie the other day, and the subject line was MQA Online Course. What the hell is that? I wondered how it got thru the spam filter but I left it unread because spam. Oh, no, it's from the County Extension office and was about Augusta's 4H goat. Sure that's my fault for being hasty but come on. Give me some help, here! Nevermind the fact that none of us knew what the hell MQA stood for. Maybe it would have been a lot easier on all involved (since we just rattled the cage of everyone from here to the Secretary of the Interior trying to figure out wth is going on) if your email had said From: Park County Extension/4H Office and Subject: Online Course required before Fair Week or something. But really, all you people whose work emails come from your name? Don't do that, it looks pretty rural.
 
For the record: MQA is Meat Quality Assurance.

Choosing to separate the Rights to Personal Privacy from the Republican Party is very convenient isn't it? If YOUR 'package' was being Legislated by mostly women in State and National Government, YOU"D be Very concerned.

No you wish to put THAT over the corner over THERE. How convenient it must be to ignore the Rabid Pursuit of Blocking a Woman's Right to Privacy Legislation that is currently being passed. What is it about the 14th Amendment Right to Privacy that you don't understand?
My how well you do when it comes to NSA spying, but simply dismiss it if it involves the gender you're not a part of. Gotta love that selective Politic.

Immigration and Border Control is your primary concern? How about this: Obama has deported more illegals than Bush did. How about the fact you have cherry picked 11 million to be concerned about and choosing to ignore 158 Million Legal Women in this country and Their Rights to personal freedom.
Must be terribly convenient to cherry pick your allegiance and ignore what you don't wish to admit.

THIS is the part of 'Small Government, except..." 

No, its the party of obstruction, delay, denial and a Minority Leader that.... FILIBUSTERED HIMSELF fer krissakes. The first ever in the History of the Senate. The rush to implement Voter I.D. laws and close Abortion Clinics has absolutely NOTHING TO DO WITH J-O-B Creation, basic infrastructure repair, rebuilding schools and growing our economy. This is the Party that has decided, despite the Constitution, to bring Religion Fundamentalists into Government to further push their self righteous agenda ... something the Founding Fathers were very adamant about.

You are simply justifying having an easy platform to convince others of your opinion. When this devolves into what I've seen is downright Hateful behavior towards other Peeps, that IS when it becomes a problem. I take my heat where the battle is pitched.... not into a music forum where I am a big fish in a little pond. Believe me, you fellas have proven you DON'T WANT OTHER OPINION... you simply fish for validation. When you don't get it, Me and many others have witnessed you getting ugly.

Believe whatever you wish to tell yourselves to feel good, but don't expect lots of other peeps to take you as seriously as you take yourselves.

 
sometimes I really like you. like when you're mad.

I agree, like you other than FB where I only post strange or funny people or animals pics (there is NO WAY I will post anything at all political on FB for many reasons{#Stop}) this is the only website I participate in.  I do not like political websites because the participants are well, political and as IRL this means partisan and with an agenda which I cannot stand.  The members of this forum are here primarily for the music and have diverse backgrounds that do not preclude them being very political at all, in other words a nice cross section of the vast majority of "normal" world citizens who are not political junkies therefore most do not have set in stone partisan ties and agendas (most anyway{#Lol}).  This means we can have discussions on issues from complex people who are all over the map quite literally in their views depending on the particular issue which makes for much more meaningful and real discussions not just back and forth R and D bashing seeing which side can spin their way to the top like the talking heads on TV.  This is why I am here and not there. /2

Abbreviated Rant (Fill in the air with invective of your choosing)
======================

Workflow:
  1. Office staff (anyone but me) places advertising on newspaper pages.
  2. Office staff prepares page PDFs
  3. When 1 & 2 are completed, Scott is notified that pages are ready for QC.
  4. Office staff forwards pages to pressroom.
  5. Pressroom begins printing with little to zero delay. 
Omitting step 3 can and will cost time and money every time. Some of which might have found its way to my paycheck. Just a thought.
