My Statement

"Let me emphatically say that I am not anti-Facebook (Fleecebook), anti-smart phone, anti-Microsoft, anti-Apple, anti-Google or anti-Internet. I do believe, though, that the consumer is being ripped off of his privacy, identity and purchase history. We are being herded into a Facebook corner where what we "Like" and where we go physically and on the net will be scrutinized and sold numerous times to actually corrode and erode our culture while tempting us only with convenience, high tech and flashing video screens. The unsuspecting consumers need to be aware..." - Gary Lapman

Playing or Winning?

The net is flooded with "What if I win the Mega Lottery" stories.  How to win, what to use the money for, how to remain anonymous, etc.  It is really amazing when you think that the prize is usually about twelve million.  That is about what people usually get when the share the big prizes.  Why is is so important to play when the prize is large.  Theoretically, there is less chance at winning it all, than winning at all.  It is beyond me.
We have to keep in mind though, that we are getting our money's worth on the ticket purchases because the fee we pay to buy them is a "dream" fee.  If we were to win, then the dream comes true...  I'll let you all know if (and when) I win...




FEMALE PRAYER
Before I lay me down to sleep,
I pray for a man, who's not a creep,
One who's handsome, smart and strong,
One who loves to listen long,
One who thinks before he speaks,
One who'll call, not wait for weeks
I pray he's gainfully employed,
When I spend his cash, won't be annoyed.
Pulls out my chair and opens my door,
Massages my back and begs to do more.
Oh! Send me a man, who'll make love to my mind,
Knows what to answer to "How big is my behind?"
I pray that this man will love me no end,
And never attempt to hit on my friend.
And as I pray beside my bed,
I look at the clown you sent me instead.
Amen.

MALE PRAYER
I pray for a deaf-mute nymphomaniac with huge boobs
who owns a liquor store. Amen.
