I can't say I've ever heard this song: He Don't Love You (Like I Love You) by Tony Orlando and Dawn Originally shared by HuffPost You know you want to know. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/02/26/birthday-number-1_n_6764084.html?ncid=edlinkushpmg00000008

Restaurant.com has got to be the most annoying website ever. First, I can't log in even though I have an account with them. After what seemed like three attempts to log in they block you out for ... how long, I don't know.  I went ahead and just clicked the "reset password" option and after 10 minutes or so, the email to change my password finally came in. I click the link, fill out my email and new password, confirm new password and told it's a success. I go to log in with the new password and  ... ..."to many attempts to log in" and my account is locked out. If I didn't have money sitting in there waiting to be spent I'd walk away.

For a man who spent most of his life hating the "Spock" character isn't ironic to see nearly every announcement of his death sporting a Star Trek costume.  Eighty-three years old is a good age for anyone, even an actor.

Ooohhh... Some not watered down fairy tales. Originally shared by Melania Telaraña I can't wait to read this. Schönwerth just refuses to homogenize the stories, and so you find that there’s a lot more gender bending in Schönwerth. There isn’t that strict division of gendered labor that you find in the Grimms. The Grimms don’t have a male Snow White, for example, whereas Schönwerth does. Schönwerth has a male Cinderella. He has a boy who wears out iron shoes while searching for the woman he loves, a figure who is a girl in “East of the Sun, West of the Moon.” He has a prince who gets under the bedcovers with a frog so she can be turned into a beautiful princess. You just don’t find that in the Grimms at all. http://www.salon.com/2015/02/21/down_and_dirty_fairy_tales_how_this_rediscovered_stash_of_darker_than_grimm_stories_destroys_our_prince_charming_myths/

Under these new rules, anyone who has done research on anything which the board studies is considered to have a conflict of interest, and therefore cannot sit on the board. Fortunately, simply having a financial stake in the matters which the board studies does not constitute a conflict of interest, so the scientific advisory board continues to be open to corporate public affairs officers, demented preachers, or roving madmen off the street.

Whew! Is it me or are people just really lazy at the social media these days? Granted, some people maybe doing everything from their phones/tablets and not spending hours filling out their Profiles, but come on! It shouldn't be too hard to put "motorcycle rider" in the About section no matter what medium you use to sign up for G+.\ That being said, of the 27 or so membership requests I let in maybe 6 or 7 people just now. Of the 20-21 I didn't let in either their Profiles weren't filled out (with something about motorcycling) or they were spammers or they had no public posts, etc. Anywho, welcome to the new people!

When I set this community up I set it up in a way to prevent spammers and other people from just using it as a link dumping ground to boost their view numbers. I set it up to where each and every profile has to be approved for membership. This means I (and presumably the moderators) go through each and every Profile requesting access looking for a number of things: [1] - Are you a living breathing person? [2] - Are you a motorcycle rider? [3] - Do you just share the same content to every motorcycle related group you can get access to? [4] - Do you have a love affair with the Share button? In other words, do you only rehare other's content? [5] - If yes to any of the above, do you respond to comments on your posts or create an introductory comment to your share?

Bad news on the Spider-Man Sony/ Marvel Entertainment front? Fox has made some terrible movies and it seems as though this guy was integral in making those bad movies happen. He's also not a fan of Sony's billion-dollar baby, Spider-Man.  At this point I'd rather Marvel just kill Peter Parker and wipe him from the face of the Earth than have this Rothman guy ruin him. http://badassdigest.com/2015/02/24/watch-your-back-spidey-tom-rothman-becomes-new-sony-honcho/

I think, if Sony Entertainment Network​ wanted to go with a non-white Spider-Man they should have written it in with their 5, 7, 9 year plan. Say, three Peter Parker movies with the third one introducing Miles Morales or a different spider-character, then the death of Peter Parker and the reigns taking of the new Spider-Man. But to confuse non-comicbook reading viewers with a new Spider-Man? That just might turn off viewers to the character all together. http://geektyrant.com/news/new-spider-man-will-reportedly-not-be-white

Met a man wearing a 7 NEWS - The Denver Channel jacket while out walking Rufus earlier. We talked for a minute and then I asked if he worked there. Apparently he was on-air talent.

He used to work for ABC local news here, went to another local channel and then went freelance.  It's like the Universe was throwing these people at me today.

I have to say, this Adria Richards sounds like a [bad word]. She overhears a conversation she wasn't a part of, makes it public, doesn't feel remorse when the guy loses his job, but then blames the guy when it backfires on her? She takes no personable accountability that resulted in her predicament? The first guy who created the spambot-thing for twitter also seemed a little less than sympathetic. He creates a spambot based one the author's name - for research, supposedly - and then tells the spoofed man, to his face no less, 'too bad, so sad.'

Yesterday evening I was driving to the store for some grocery shopping when I passed the dog park where I usually take the dummies four or five days a week. It was about 5PM and the weather was supposed to turn for the worse so the parking lot didn't have much in the way of occupants. However, down by the creek, along the wood line, were a handful of police cruisers, their lights flashing red and blue in an area that can go years without seeing artificial light.  I counted four cruisers as I passed by.  For the remainder of the evening and then this morning I wondered what had brought so many police out to the dog park. Usually the rangers are called only if there's a confrontation or blood is spilled either by a dog or a person and almost never in the fifteen years I've been taking my dogs to the park has there been more than one or two rangers responding. Last evening there were four or five, county sheriffs, not rangers. I thought perhaps there was a fight between people

More recently, Alexandra Horowitz of Barnard College in New York was able to induce “guilty looks” in dogs simply by telling their owners that they’d done wrong – even when they hadn’t – and tellingly, the strength of that “guilty look” matched the severity of punishment that each owner normally used when the dog transgressed. ~ the article This brings new insight into all those dog "meme's" out there depicting dogs displaying a guilty look after misbehaving. Not that dogs aren't capable of guilt (that's another discussion) but now we can look at the dog and know he's not overreacting or acting like a drama queen. Instead, the level of "guilt" is a reflection on the owner's emotional reaction to the dog's behavior. Originally shared by Brian Harrod You love your dog. Your dog loves you.

And let me tell you what's happened to our veteran health care. I'm supposed to go to the VA for a chest series every 5 years because they exposed me (repeatedly) to asbestos. Yet it takes me a bloody damn YEAR to get an appointment. Oh, and the eardrum that was ruptured 3 times in submarine trainers? No disability, no hearing aid covered because "it's not severe enough". 70% hearing loss in one ear isn't severe, I guess. This is what we get when clueless fuckin' hillbillies keep voting Republican.

Dispute that with your representatives voting records.

But don't worry, the market will handle it because as we all know, private entities love tackling disaster mitigation. http://www.washingtonpost.com/national/energy-environment/study-sees-even-bigger-longer-droughts-for-much-of-us-west/2015/02/12/8c514c20-b2ea-11e4-bf39-5560f3918d4b_story.html

Sounds like this guy can't handle the stress. I'm thinking his fiance wears the pants in their relationship. http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/john-kitzhaber-curious-case-governor-oregon/story?id=28945978

Anyone in SoCal or at least the southwest looking for a great dog? Or, do you have a few dollars to spare? Hell, if she were closer I'd go get her and foster her until a home could be found. Of course, Pit Bulls are illegal in the city I live in so that wouldn't last long. Originally shared by **** RESHARE Please help with anything you can spare, or if you know anyone in the Southwest looking for a great dog, let them know about Cinnamon! http://www.gofundme.com/311gro

I'm not entirely sure why, or if I even want to know why, there was an open condom wrapper on the floor of the men's locker room at the gym.

It's #blackhistorymonth  and therefore a good time to take a look at African-American heroes in comic books. Some have already shown up while others are getting their own shows. Woot! http://www.buzzfeed.com/danielkibblesmith/sweet-christmas#.skgonVrBP

Occasionally I do good things. Why can't anyone else? [image not related]

I'm supposed to be blogging more, social media'ing less. Or, at least that's my New Year's resolution this year. Technically, I made it for only January, but I want to try and stretch it out a little. We'll see. Anywho, I'm here today hoping to tell you about assholes. You know, those people without regard for others, who only think of themselves, who can't see any other perspective than their own and hold the rest of the world accountable for not adhering to their perspective. Earlier today we were leaving the neighborhood, stopping at a red light as we wait for traffic so we can turn from the local street onto the three lane westbound street. As we're sitting there waiting a truck with a trailer makes the westbound turn from the opposite direction. Unfortunately, the person in the truck didn't have the items on the trailer properly tied down and a couple of windows - you know, those vinyl framed ones - fell off shattering all over two lanes of
