Not feeling very well today, guess it is a mix of
the terrible heat and humidity and well, hmmmm, laziness?
LOL! Dunno for sure but I did update all 3 blogs yesterday
after neglecting them for a couple of weeks WITH the heat
and also being tied up doing back to back transcriptions.
The best way to get a client to pay me FOR these
transcriptions is to get him or her to do one for him or
herself, lol. A one hour audio takes about six HOURS to
type up and proofread and edit. Not my favorite job,
BUT the one I do get the most of.
I dream of one day JUST doing the proofreading, editing,
helping with blog postings and web site updates and
helping people with their social networking, AND, of course,
doing Rim Digest ezine. :-)

Random Rants
by jl scott
Pay Attention or Unplug
I was standing in line at the supermarket, last week.
Some dude in front of me was standing there Twittering.
It was his turn to put his groceries on the belt,
and he just kept on Twittering!
I wanted to yell at him to pay the hell attention!
That there is absolutely not one reason in this world
why he had to Twitter in line at the grocery store!
It made me wonder what all these yahoos would do if everyone
had to unplug for just one, solid week. What if everything stopped?
And, I mean no cell phone calls, no texting, no computers,
no iPods, iPhones, et al.
Gee, you mean the way we used to live?
Yeah - the way we USED to live. I imagine, at the end
of a week, the mental hospitals would be full. Right now,
those same mental patients are out on the streets!
They're killing themselves - and others - as they text,
or talk on the phone, while driving. They're causing
irreparable damage in situations where they think all
they need is information on a computer -
no hard copies necessary.
They're standing right in the middle of the aisles
in the stores gossiping or asking someone, Now,
what did I come in here for on cell phones.
Sooner or later, someone doing that is going to get it
right in the kidney with my umbrella! I have honestly
considered getting a cane just to deal with these idiots.
Ever notice how they're ALWAYS right in the MIDDLE of the aisles
- with their big-ass baskets - rather than on their own side?
They don't even know which side IS theirs.
They seem to truly believe they have a right to block the entire
world while they try to find out what kind of cereal their kid
wants, rather than making a list, in the first place!
Well, gee, I'm getting on a roll. Guess I'd better stop before
I take on sexting. You do NOT want to get me started on THAT!
Are We Oblivious?
I was on a rampage a while back about people who don't
fact check their information. They just gleefully pass it
along to their lists if it happens to be something they'd
like to believe.
Later, I started wondering ... Why should we HAVE TO check
everything we hear or read? That's absolutely sad!
Yet, it's the way of our world, today. At least in the USA,
people are so caught up in their rage and racism (which is,
more often than not, one and the same, whether they want to
admit it, or not), they can't see what's right in front of them.
These people don't seem to see what they're doing to humanity.
We're backsliding, people. We're turning into nothing but a
planet of the apes with Blackberries.
Apparently, many folks only read what they want to believe -
what supports their own beliefs. Now, this is normal - to a
point. But, when we stop educating ourselves just to convince
ourselves we're RIGHT about something, we're headed downhill.
But, the worst part is the behavior we accept as normal.
When did we stop demanding truth from the media?
When did we start accepting unacceptable behavior
from media personalities, congressional members,
the pharmaceutical, insurance, banking and other professions?
How did this happen? It didn't happen overnight.
It's taken years of preparation to get people in this country
to such a point of blindness and acceptance.
The blindness comes from focusing on the hatreds rather
than on what's actually happening.
I get mad at stupidity, not people's heritage, culture,
color, religious or political beliefs. What I can't stand
is the waste of such fine organs as brains wasted on morons
who won't use them.
Maybe, just maybe, if more people paid attention and demanded
better ... we wouldn't be about to implode.
