The Life and Times of Jim |
Hi, there. I'm Jim. Welcome to my phlog! This site was written for Las Vegas, then LouisVille. Now, it seems to be about anywhere. In these phlogs, you'll see a lot of my personal notes and pictures. I like to post my observations here to remember life and celebrate it. I'm not religious. I don't pray for good fortune. I'm ecstatically grateful for the gift of life and I think our time should be remembered and not taken for granted. I'm not a writer. I think pictures tell stories so much better than words. I love just about everything in this life, and, I guess that would have to include you. So, if you've seen me, don't be surprised if your picture is in here somewhere. Of all the critters, people are absolutely the most interesting. |

01/23/2004 00:00:00 jim Talked to an old friend, Sharon Mendenhall. | Fri |||||||||||||||||||
- Sharon created the post card to the left...wow! Rob Allred (see bottom) and I knew her back in the 80's when we at URS. Sharon's daughter, Regan, who is 26 years old, is a very phenomenal artist. That's her painting to the right. Check out her ethereal paintings website at ragensart.com. She's HOT! |
01/22/2004 00:00:00 jim Identity theft strikes again!!! | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
Identity theft is the fastest growing crime in the United States. I've reordered my Visa Card twice in 4 months. Both times, within two weeks, my number was used for more than $1,000 of purchases on the net. Coincidence, or is someone rubbing a pencil over the envelope to get the raised print off the card, waiting a week or two for the card's activation, then placing orders...hmmm. The address is always to a sleazy motel. |

Added language translation links to my "SEARCH" page. CLICK the SEARCH heading on the main page to access it. That page is getting pretty cool! Spent another day of doing favors. Spent 3 hours being a chauffeur. Boned up on 'Javascript for Dummys'. |

01/15/2004 00:00:00 jim Went to an oldtimers lunch | Thu |||||||||||||||||||
With Dan Crowley, Larry Lewis, Larry Loff, Dale Pickett and Butch Tomasseti. Shopped for brakes on my 1999 truck. Eight auto shops TRIED TO SCREW ME. Armed with coupons ($77 to $99) for all 4 brakes, the estimates ranged from $160 to $410 for just 2 brakes. I finally lied to the last shop. I showed them an estimate for $280 that included shocks from Midas. THESE GUYS CAN'T READ!!! Ended up paying $250 for brakes and shocks. I felt sorry for the people I heard getting screwed while waiting. |

Replaced a circuit breaker. QUESTION: Am I the only one that thinks "The Lord's Prayer" is pathetic? It seems more like "The Corporate Empire's Prayer" to me. I shall not want, uh huh. |

December 30, 2003 Rob was my best friend for 17 years. Please view: My Memorial to Rob, and my thoughts about this very special friend. And please feel free to Email me. STRANGE THOUGHTS: Why do they call it a "WAKE"? Why is it called a Funeral "Home"? Why do they either cremate us or preserve us? Man, when I die, I want the whole world to just eat me. lol. Be nice everyone. We'll all shine on if we just get along. |
