Well-intentioned men…

by @ 8:32 pm. Filed under quotes

What I fear most are affirmative actions of sober and well-intentioned men, granting to government powers to do something that appears to need doing.

Happy People…

by @ 7:12 pm. Filed under quotes

Truly grateful people don’t make lists of things to be grateful for, any more than happy people make lists of things to be happy about. Happy people have enough to do just being happy.

I purposely choose that annoying color scheme…

by @ 10:39 pm. Filed under quotes

An Enterprise Admin command prompt might get lime green background with red text. That color combination in particular is annoying to me and I purposely choose that annoying color scheme… Why? I do it because I shouldn’t be playing around as an Enterprise Admin long enough for it to bother me too much and I certainly don’t want to forget that I am using a very powerful account when I am typing commands.

Erroneous Conclusions…

If it weren’t for erroneous conclusions, these people would never arrive at any at all.

Happy St. Patrick’s Day – AKA Carbon Monoxide Detector Day

by @ 6:00 am. Filed under general

Buy a new one, replace an old one.

Test all of them but realize that the testing doesn’t test the ability to detect CO, just the ability to sound an alert.

As I have mentioned in the past, due to my Carbon Monoxide poisoning a couple of years ago and having several CO detectors in the house (including next to the furnace) and them not going off because they had “expired” and getting very sick from it, I buy a new one and put it in my house every year so I know that I always have at least one that isn’t expired.

In the time that I started telling this story to people, I have heard at least 15 other stories about people who were similarly poisoned either at work or at home. I have also seen on the news several people who have died from it. This stuff is serious people. More serious even, IMO, than smoke detectors because CO is a silent killer and could be slowly killing you over days or weeks.

 

Once again…

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS EXPIRE.

BUY NEW ONES BEFORE THE OLD ONES EXPIRE.

One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.

Troublemakers…

A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.

Little wheels…

by @ 2:00 am. Filed under quotes

Clocks slay time… time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.
