The Poojer

No one can live like Chuck Norris, we are all just lucky he lets us live at all. See Mars as an example....Chuck Norris went to Mars, now there is no sign of any life form at all...coincidence? I think not!

To your point, I am a leading candidate for a position with a really big and really solid company but I don't want to leave where I am....it would be more money but not enough for me to leave what I like.

So far that really hasn't bothered me. It may eventually, but I'm 50 and frankly just happy to be gainfully employed, appreciated by my boss and his bosses and my peers, and yearly small raises. I do see your point. Its a double edged sword, you are almost frowned upon from one perspective while perfectly happy in your own little bubble.

its took me a long time to really buckle down and put more effort into my work history/skills/attitude, etc. since then, my goal at every job was to become the 'go to' person who knew where to find answers. I never aspire(d) to the next rung on the ladder nor am i looking for the big payday. I know inside that I am doing a good job and that my boss appreciates my work, the rest(raises, promotions etc) are gravy. I know that some look at it as a negative to be in the same position for years, but frankly i figure once i master my job, that is when i will move along....

good for you.

damn, i am such a sap...that show has choked me up way too many times for me to count and that 'finale' was no different, no matter how many times i see it

i don't watch it but that was what it sounded like he was describing....

Isn't that survivor??

i wouldn't...your boss is an a-hole(granted i am assuming you are your own boss at work...i certainly do not mean to call your wife an a-hole if that is who you meant by 'boss'...in fact your wife deserves sainthood for putting up with you.

i'm really timid in that department and have NEVER asked for a raise, i get whatever the company gives, this year i was given a bit more than the average because i had gone above and beyond, basically that is all i really ever hope for...i am just happy they let me in the door, especially in today's economy

i know this will ruffle some feathers, but if they didn't play the serviceman angle. they never would have gotten out of first round auditons...same with the wives choir...but the virginia state university choir...they absolutely deserve to have moved on...million dollar act...probably not on their own

Spot on...very demonstrative band with guitar kicks and windmills for a fairly subdued 'with a little help from my friends' Joe cocker style..and Heidi wants it harder...

some of these are really funny http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=59b_1363799230#9ukSOAEk82RuBubI.01

Hey this chick in panama is HOT!!!

I wanted fresh faces and kevin Downey Jr. I agreed/ voted for the 4 winners plus the 2 I mentioned above..I think the judges get a pick or two...I think kevin Downey will come back

i have been trying to watch it...it's not too bad

you are on the ball...

HA....someone is busted... being that i have a well known penchant for music...here is the ad i get....fess up Jack...girl problems???? and its funny because i am also at this moment having a conversation on fb about the very band that the ad is showing, but it was showing up the same earlier

Yup, the AmericanaRama tour Sunday Night...Saturday is Lumineers, Dr. Dog..gonna be a music filled weekend for this guy, not too much drinking though http://xpn.org/xponential-music-festival/2013

not to hijack the thread but i am going to see Wilco saturday night. but now on topic, i don't usually put on an album, rather i put on one of the Sirius stations, Dead, Jam On, Spectrum and just sit and have a few

I see what you did there!

i think after this past week the intensity will be turned up several notches...this weeks show was awesome...and they are doing a good job of keeping people wondering about this doctor chick...

Let's be clear...old fashioned indicates a better alternative to do something has come around. None of the alternatives to your 'old fashioned' activities are even acceptable. Doing the alternative is simply rude!

What about your wallet? I was raised it goes in your left ass pocket. Bugs me when I see guys with them in their right ass pocket. Don't even get me started on the front pocket...
