I do include this comment here because it mentions bike riding and
hammock as the perfect complement...

As I sat in the hammock today, I took my shirt off and said, "Hey,
this is even nicer!" Then I said to my girlfriend, "What a pity you
can't. The neighbors and the police would be all over us."
What kind of society is this? We want to teach lessons to the women in
Afghanistan, but are all repressed our our own. Why if I can, my woman
can't go topless?
So a sort of list of things we need to fix comes handy...
-gay rights
-women rights
-CYCLIST RIGHTS
-liberalize drugs
Then a word came flashing to me (it must have flashed by Buddha): PRO-
CHOICE. The sheep want their own view of the world for all, but that
doesn't cut it for the Wise Tibetan Monkey. WE MUST HAVE THE CHOICE
FOR EVERYTHING or DEMOCRACY would be an empty word often confused with
HYPOCRISY.

From: Mrs Irish Mike
Has anyone here used those Mr. Clean Magic Erasers or other brands of
no scratch cleaning pads? Basically they are pads of polypropylene and
the mark-up in price must be outragous. Recently I found a piece of
packing foam in a package for a mirror. I tried it out and it worked
as well as the Magic Eraser in cleaning my fiberglass bathtub. I went
out to the trash and got the rest of the packing foam. After using
them for a couple of weeks I can now say, I have enough cleaning pads
to last a year.
I've tried styrafoam and found it is messy and doesn't work. You
might have to buy one of the name brand foam pad to see what I'm
talking about to match it up to the right kind of packing foam.

Yep, they are afraid of the competition so they roar to intimidate the
cyclists. The motor of an Stupid Unnecessary Vehicle also makes such a

Chinese want to be like American, but I don't think the Dutch give a

From: Ohioguy
My wife commutes to her job downtown. Previously she rode the bus,
but we moved out into the suburbs. There is only one place with a
convenient parking lot nearby, which is a welding company. My wife
picked that parking lot because it was close, and wouldn't require her
to walk through several dimly lit parking lots to get to her car.
Well ... they put her in an edge of the lot in a corner, right up
against the building where there is SUPPOSED to be a light, but the
light has burned out. Therefore, it is one of the least visible,
darkest spots in the whole parking lot.
She has brought this up at least 6 or 7 times with the folks she pays
for the monthly parking. At first the guy acted completely clueless.
She kept telling him that the light on their building was burned out,
and that she couldn't see well. He kept saying "you mean the street
light?", & stuff like that. She had to keep explaining, "No, if it was
a STREET light, I wouldn't be talking to you about it", etc., etc.
So they didn't do anything about it, and now it has been 3 months.
She went in the other day to pay, and since they kept forgetting to do
anything about it, she wrote up a short reminder note with the details,
and took it in with her when she paid. She again asked them to do
something, and they said they forgot, but would get around to it.
Ok, so then she says "Well, you keep forgetting, so here is something
to help you remember." The guy actually had the gall to hand the note
back to her, and once again said, "we'll get around to it".
This is starting to royally piss me off. I get to hear her complain
about it all the time, and as a guy I want to fix the situation. I want
her to be safe, and I want them to get off their butts and do the basic
maintenance that a customer has asked for numerous times.
In a situation like this, what do you think the best way to handle
this AND GET POSITIVE RESULTS would be?
Thanks!

She's getting screwed. Tell them you'll "get around to paying the
monthly parking bill when they fix the light." Quick action guaranteed.

I can see an option or two;
If it's an incandescent bulb, stop by with a ladder and a CF bulb and
replace it yourself.
Find another parking space that's near a bus stop; park there and take
the bus the rest of the way.
File a lawsuit for breach of contract (you did sign a contract of some
sort, defining who's liable if the car is burglarized or damaged, etc.,
didn't you?) but have a new parking space lined up first.
File criminal charges of fraud (again, have a new space ready).
Buy her a big four or five cell MagLite.
If she's not been dealing with the welding shop owner, try going over
the counter helps' head to the owner.
Bear in mind that if the staff gets mad, her car is at risk of vandalism.

Talk to the manager of the lot and explain, in no uncertain terms, that
WHEN, not if, your wife is attacked or injured in their lot because of the
poor lighting about which they have been informed, IN WRITING, you will sue.
And you will win. What I can't figure out is why she's let this go on for
months? I'd have had a new lightbulb up there in a week or I'd have called
code enforcement or taken my parking business elsewhere.
