Reply to Ebay in Internet JoeUser Forums

Let me add a different thought on feedback. I have sold items over Ebay a little, and one thing as a seller on Ebay that is most important, is maintaining a Excellent feedback record. If I have a buyer that isn't happy with what I sold them, or they claim that the product didn't come as described, I'll work with them to make them happy. Including taking the item back and refunding them the cost. I can't afford to have a poor rating. It took me long enough to get my power rating up. <B

Reply to Snow! in Misc JoeUser Forums

I'm up in the Portland area and I work in Salem. It was quite the drive to work yesterday. I am originally from Florida, so any snow is fun for me. At our house, we didn't get any snow that stuck, but at work we had 4-5 inches in the parking lot. On my way in, I passed through a few areas that had near to 8 inches on the sides of the road. We do have a forecast for more snow tonight though, so maybe we'll get lucky and get some up in Portland metro.

The Day after Christmas in Home & Family JoeUser Forums

Well another Christmas has come and gone. Over all rating? Not bad. Kelsy and I felt bad about not deciding not to give something to each other this year. But we were able to get the girls what we wanted to get them. We had everyone come to our house this year for Christmas lunch. We also had her parents and her brother's family over on Christmas Eve. As usual, we asked her mother to refrain from over doing the gifts for the girls, and guess what. She didn't. The girls were LOAD

The Magi of the Christmas Story in Current Events JoeUser Forums

When considering the story of the birth of Jesus, my mind turned to the account of the Magi. After rereading the account of the birth of Jesus, I decided to dig a little deeper and find out more about these Magi. Tradition tells us that there were three Magi who came to find the baby Jesus, but the Bible doesn’t specifically state how many there were. It could have been any number of men. Some scholars feel that it could have even been up to 200 people that were apart of this group of travel

Squirrel of Death in Misc JoeUser Forums

Someone posted this story on a message board I frequent, and I just recent found the author of the story. I have linked to the author's page where it was originally posted. I will refrain from reposting the story here, but I will leave you with a little teaser of what is inside. I warn you in advance. I cried, because of laughing so hard. I cried laughing, just listening to my co-workers read the story. It's just that funny. Here is the teaser... Inches before impact, the squi

The Wal-Mart you don't know in Internet JoeUser Forums

This is another one of those information items I heard on the radio, and it amazed me at the numbers involved. For instance, this piece from the article. Wal-Mart is not just the world's largest retailer. It's the world's largest company--bigger than ExxonMobil, General Motors, and General Electric. Wal-Mart sold $244.5 billion worth of goods last year. It sells in three months what number-two retailer Home Depot sells in a year. Th
