Why is that even an option?

Women Sports

Posted in Life on January 27th, 2006 by Emilie Gatewood – 9 Comments

Now I don’t really watch sports very much, but enough to notice that there are never as many people in the audiance for a woman’s basketball, softball (or any sport for that matter) game then a man’s bball, etc. game. You know why? Cause it’s not fun to watch women play sports. I don’t know why, I just know that it’s not near as exciting. Anyways, please don’t hate me on this issue and please don’t invite me to one of your games ladies.

Typoes

OK, I hope most people found the typo in the title, if not, nevermind. It kills me when I find such obvious mistakes in such important documents. The more I surf the net the more typos I find on sites that people have actually paid for and spent a lot of time and money going over. i.e. On a big company’s site, where the times of operation were listed it said “Where here when you need us.” Are you kidding, I learned that stuff in English class in 3rd grade, after French class, in Canada. And I thought it was the words there, their and they’re that people got confused, I guess people are just more confused than I realized! Anyways, I know that I make mistakes too, but let’s all just try a little harder to use the English we learned in elementary. (I reread this five times just to make sure I wrote everything correctly. We’ll see how long it takes my mom to inform me of any mistakes!)

Wrong Number

Posted in Life on January 16th, 2006 by Emilie Gatewood – 7 Comments

Don’t you hate it when people leave a message on your voice mail and it’s the wrong number. I used to get so many of them that my recording went something like this…”Hi, this is emilie, NOT TERRY-STOP CALLING, leave me a message.” And guess what? It actually worked, until I recently changed it to something normal once I thought it was safe and enough time had gone by. But guess what again?, it wasn’t Terry this old man was calling for now, it was for a brand-new-customized-garage-door. Who are you people? Why don’t you listen to the recording? And WHY do you keep calling back again and again?? OK, well I’ve cooled down now and I hope that man got his garage door. Good luck dialing.

Sideburns: “no”?

Posted in Life on January 11th, 2006 by Emilie Gatewood – 18 Comments

What is the deal with men who have no sideburns? I mean none, zero, the kind that are shaved up even with the top of his ears? I just want to know, what is up with that? I even asked this guy I know (my husband) how it was that he used to get his hair cut like that; he simply answered that when his barber would ask him how he wanted or if he wanted his sideburns he just answered; “no.” Weird. I am glad to inform you that as of today he has a great looking hair cut (buzzed, but including sideburns). So basically the message I want to get accross here is that men should never have no s-burns. Thanks, now get them sides’a'growin.

Low Prices?

Who cares if WalMart has low prices, they have to because shopping there is awful. It doesn’t seem to matter where in North America (I say from experience, but I’m sure it could be anywhere in the world) the WalMart is, the white trash of america all seem to find themselves there. If you don’t get run over in the parking lot or trampled while trying to shop, then you’re just going to want to kill yourself in the end while you’re waiting in line behind people who still use checks, or aren’t sure how to swipe their credit cards, or come to the ’20 items or less’ line with a basket full of crap. No Mas, to Target I go and love…But if you just have to go to WalMart because you think Target is just waaay too expensive, fine, I don’t care.
