Friendly Notes

Ern — Thu, 03 Dec 2009 12:43:37 +0000

Recently I was contacted by a very old and dear friend. The time that has gone by is well over the limit of time that anyone should wait to get in contact with a friend of such standings. I can hardly believe that after 15 years I was back in contact with this person. That seems like a long time to go with out talking to someone then all of a sudden BAM they are back in your life just like that.

Seems that this friend (yes they must remain undisclosed for safety’s sake) has been thinking about me in the same ways that I was thinking about them.

I recently have had this person on my mind a great deal. Seems like a little bit of a coincidence but that’s not as important as the BIG Question!?!?!?

I often asked myself that if I were to get in contact with any of my friends from childhood if I would want to or be able to reconnect with them. Honestly I still haven’t a good answer for that question.

You would think that if you had the opportunity to get in touch with someone that you were really close to that you would jump at the chance right? Well what if there was a bit of bad blood surrounding the situation at the time of last contact or what if you just lost contact with that person because you moved or they moved out of reach for everyday contact?

In this case is the moving and distance as well as age and ability to connect across the continent.

I’m very glad that my buddy got in touch with me but I want to consult the higher intelligence on this one. What do you think? Is this doomed right from the start or is there a good chance for a good or at least pleasant reconnection?

Guess where they found me …….. Guess!! A PAID SEARCH site that tells a little more that I had hoped would ever be available about my life. THAT is the scary part of this all. The site she used TOLD ALL even down to possible roommates that I may have had over the years. How does anyone know that really? Kinda I get it but DAMN that is some crazy stuff. It’s not so private out there after all now is it?

Addictions

Ern — Mon, 12 Oct 2009 19:30:27 +0000

I’m dealing with several right now and the worst of them all is the addiction to helping others. I have taken time out of my days for the past few months to help out a friend that seemingly will not take help as it should be received. If you need help from someone who knows more about a particular subject than you do then take that advice. Use that advice and don’t push it aside when that person trying to help you is not around.

Telling someone “Thank You” when they help you out and or saying “I understand” and “You are right” means that you DO get what they are saying and you WILL do what they are advising you to do. NOT take the advice and simply push it aside after they are done helping you and do it your way just to ask them to come back and help you fix it again to put things back to the way they left it in the first place.

These are the people that are addicted to screwing up a good thing. They see that what they are asking for is being worked out and on the flip of a switch they are taking for granted the good advice and help they ASKED for in the first place. STOP SCREWING UP WHAT YOU WANT FIXED WHEN IT IS LEFT FIXED.

Favicons Working Still?

Ern — Thu, 24 Sep 2009 14:00:15 +0000

I wanted to make a Favicon.ico for a friends site this morning and I am not sure if the icon is showing. I did everything right I’m sure of that but still no icon. I used one of those easy to use icon generator sites, Favicon.co.uk. They seemed to have the easiest one to use and not being one for hassle on the web their site was fast and easy.

But still no icon on the site I made if for … ?

Best Fat Burner Ever

Ern — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 18:56:25 +0000

I tried working out to lose weight and the regiment of getting up every day and beating myself half to death wasn’t working out for me. I needed another way to lose weight and feel great. I found this fat burner product and I have to believe that this is the best fat burner before I can go full steam with anything like that. I have tried a ton of these so called miracles in a bottle that promise to help you lose weight and feel great with little results in the past. Now I have the options to find the best of them before I actually commit to a purchase. Thanks to the world wide web we can almost try before we buy. Kind of like buying a car but without the pushy salesman!!

Sales at Buy.com

Ern — Fri, 24 Jul 2009 23:36:37 +0000

I just got done watching another video from Buy.com talking about how their site saves you money over Walmart and BestBuy. The video talks about how a worker bought an XBox on sale from Buy.com while being able to compare prices to WalMart and BestBuy. Their commercials are always pretty humorous and the latest one is right on point.

If you would like to check out the commercial for yourself, go to YouTube, search Buy.com, and you can watch them all and here is a link to the one I just watched. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hMda5esWtc
