I came across this archive post by Beth over at Blue Star Chronicles entitled Celebrities with Bad Plastic Surgery. Beth displayed before and after botched plastic surgery photos of Mickey Rourke, Kate Jackson, and the master of the overdone, Michael Jackson.

Has a gloom gathered around your life? Has some former friend been particularly spiteful toward you? Has the downsize demon descended on your place of employment? Has some nasty bank foreclosed on your ancestral home? Did the love of your life abscond with your life savings and leave with your best friend?

Before you continue reading, I must warn my dear reader that because of the cheap manufacturing process used in making the chairs there is a graphic and unpleasant image of what happened to a particular person's body because of the manufacturing defect. Do not continue if you are the slight bit squeamish.

Last week in my article Should you Own a Car at All? I wrote, "One of the greatest impediments to the accumulation of wealth in this country is the unnecessary ownership of a car." In response, reader frank argued that in most of the country there is no public transportation and that he and his wife needed two cars because they both worked (he 12 miles away, she 18 miles).

If you are bothered by occasional or frequent constipation, look in the mirror and repeat the following sentence three times in succession when symptoms occur:

First let me advance the notion that most people should not own a car at all. Let me give you a few examples: I have a partner who lives one subway ride away from our office near the Holland Tunnel. It would take him about 13 minutes to get to work riding the subway. Instead he drives to work, wasting perhaps an additional 20 minutes for the luxury of being stuck in Manhattan traffic. He parks his car downtown for a cost of $350 per month. He parks his car by his apartment for another cost of $300.00 per month. He pays an annual insurance premium of $1800.00. He leases a new car every few years at a cost of about $700.00 per month.

Jumping off of bridges is the best way for a person to commit suicide and so preventing this is not only a waste of money but dangerous as well. If the city goes ahead with its plans, this poor shlub will now have to find a tall building to jump from or to walk in front of a speeding bus and thus possibly injuring or even killing those of us who actually enjoy living.

That's it: smoke a joint - no further advice is needed.

You enter this blog at your own risk, because it will show you a country where up is down and left is right. It is not a made-up nation in a story book, but one that you are living in presently. We will show you your future; not a future that must happen, but one that might.

Firing employees is never easy even if they are embezzling, stealing, or being violent or abusive toward your employees or customers. Sometimes, even if it seems you should fire someone, it may not be the wise business decision. Let me explain:

In a moment I am going to tell you how to clean the inside of your monitor screen, the side away from you that you cannot touch. But first, for the outside screen, if you are still staring at an old glass CRT monitor screen then cleaning it is quite simple: turn off the monitor and spray window cleaner onto a lint-free cloth and clean as you would a regular window. Then buff with a second, clean, lint-free cloth. However, never do this with the newer LCD screens.

After the most egregious case of frivolous litigation in American history, The Roy Pearson Chung Dry Cleaner Suit has finally been put to rest. Roy Pearson, the former administrative law judge who unsuccessfully sued his dry cleaner for $54 million over a pair of lost pants, finally lost his case before the D.C. Court of Appeals which handed down its ruling today. So unless Pearson makes this a Federal Case, this ordeal for the Chungs and the rest of us, is over.

A few minutes after opening the DOW is already down nearly 700 points and falling.

Businesses that use expiration dates for gift cards or certificates are not too bright. A while back I received a $100.00 gift certificate for a local restaurant that had a one year expiration date on it.

The very wealthy do not need to ask my advice, certainly they can afford to hire financial experts for that. So then why is it that they tend to do stupid, idiotic things anyway?

Certainly there are fewer escape attempts from low security prisons. Very few people escape from a seven year sentence, but given the chance almost every lifer would give it a go.

We are at the precipice of an enormous crossroad. If we continue the road we're on, the road we're on will crumble beneath us.

Los Angeles Pawn ShopPhoto by: javazettiMy father used to tell me this story: Jake came up to my father and asked, "Herschel, how much do I owe you?" My father answered, "Twenty zloties, Yacov, why?" To which Jake responded, "Lend me ten more and I'll owe you thirty." The next week the scenario repeated itself, Jake: "Herschel, how much do I owe you?" My father would say thirty zloties and Jake would ask to borrow another ten. Then one week...

Although I enjoyed Failure to Launch (2006), I disagreed with the premise of the movie that there is something wrong with a thirty-something child who does not want to leave home. Children Should live with parents until they die. That's right; until they (the parents) die.

I read a book a few hours every day. I also love movies and watch at least two or three hours of classic Hollywood films every day. It often happens that I am asked by those who know me, how I have the time to spend so much time on entertainment, attend to my telecom business, blog 8 hours a day and still have time to read the Quran. I have a secret which I will share with you now:

Melissa Nelson, 25, a Racine, Wisconsin woman was fined $400 for sending a text message in a movie theater. She claims she received a text message concerning her 5-year-old daughter and that she quietly sent one text message back. Police say there's a lot more to the story. As I mentioned in my post Things that tick me off, "People who talk in movies really piss me off. Let's all admit it - it's usually someone with three syllables in...
