Thank you STB



Give Me Back – Well, Me

DSW last month reported the theft of customer credit card and purchase information. Information from 108 stores was taken, “and transaction information involving 1.4 million credit cards was obtained.” No PIN numbers were among the stolen data, DSW said.

But if you received a letter from DSW, as this writer, did …..

When I got back from the beach, I had piles and piles of mail to get through. In that mess, there was a letter from my friends at DSW. I say friends because they get most of my paycheck. We should be way past the “business relationship” nonsense. Anybody/thing I give up food for is damn near family anyway. This letter explained that I was one of the lucky people who had their personal info stolen from their database. Lucky lucky me. ...

The attack of the “taproom uglies” and why the “Arlington guys leave a lot to be desired.”

Now I go stand in a corner by myself, where I am out of harm's way but can still see the Uglies. I catch a marginally attractive guy and his friend looking at me very weird, pointing even, and I said "what?!" and they pretended not to be doing anything.

Let you out into the world

One of the sad things about the blog world is sometimes they just have to end. The reasons are as STB explains below. Congratulations and farewell and thank you for a great blog. Although I think once a blogger always a blogger. (I don’t know if this link will still be active, so I’ve copied, with humble apology, the main part of the post.)

So there's the good news and the bad news.

Good News: I got the job I've waited nine months for.

Bad News: Blogging is no longer an approved activity, and certainly not the kind of blogging I've been doing.

So, as you can see, I'm slowly dismantling STB. By tomorrow, I hope to be done.

I'd like to say "thank you" to everyone who has taken the time to read my often ill-considered ramblings over the past 5 months. To include, but not be limited to ….

Pick-Up Lines

Outside of politics and perhaps tech gadgets, dating and relationships blogs may be the most common. Then there’s this dating subcategory: how to. (Has anyone been successful with this line?)

The latest popular line is “Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?” …

The hotness factor
Grateful dating

If you love someone, don't tear him down. Don't say negative things and call it constructive criticism. Be kind, be loving, be nice. If she asks for your help, be helpful, but if she asks you if she looks fat, say: no.
