1. I've come across people lately who have told me that they check their email every couple of weeks. Are you kidding me? I don't get it. What year is this? There's talk about email becoming archaic soon. I don't see it considering the amount of people who don't even check it regularly now. How do you not check your email at least once a day? What's going on?

2. No one may never ever touch my nose. I realize it's hard not to miss it, but still stay away. I have reasons, that's all you need to know. Look, but don't touch.

3. Has anyone ever thought of creating an air freshener that contains the new car smell? Maybe that already exists. If not, I've got dibs on the idea. If I missed this, I must have not checked my email about it. Go Figure.

5. Most kids in Detroit do not go to school during the last week of the school year. Why? Because the amount of weapons brought and crimes committed. Kids are too scared to show up, and it's not worth it. The worst school district in the country still can't get it together. Will it ever change? I don't even think hope can fix Detroit schools. It's a shame, because this is a must.

4. I know a guy who came back to work early from his vacation because he forgot he had take that day off. Yes I'm not kidding you. He came to work, and realized he had the day off and still worked. Now, I can understand someone loving their job, but to forget about a day off? I'm thinking this guy is a french fry short of a happy meal.

6. What's my take on Government Motors? It bothers me greatly that the government is getting involved. It's one thing to loan money, it's another to take over a company. Our founding fathers would be rolling over in their graves if they knew this. I hope it works, but naturally I have my doubts. Government just can't run a business. UPS or Post Office? Hello! Not to mention the key task force person is a 31 year old with no automotive experience. Just some post grad thinking he knows best with his hilary-obama socialist tendencies. What a joke.

7. The Ypsiticky Jamboree scheduled later this summer in Ypsilanti, Michigan is getting alot of criticism for the name being used. Seems the locals are upset at the term YPSITUCKY in the name. It's too slang and apparently offensive to them. The organizers are being asked to change the name. The Organizers have responded that everyone is taking this too seriously. I agree.

8. Your so cool. You're best friend. Get my drift? I'm not a stickler for misspelling words, typos, or the occasional grammar slip up. But the constant misuse of YOU'RE and YOUR drives me absolutely friggin nuts. What's the problem here? It's YOUR responsibility to read what you write. You're going to have to try harder. I can't take it anymore!!

9. I don't understand people who don't give their condolences to people they know who have suffered the lost of a loved one. They just keep to themselves, don't mention a word. They don't send an email, no card, no flowers, no donations, nothing. I don't get it. Once people figure out they need people, then they may get it. My friend's dad died recently, and another friend asked me to give him his sympathies. What? Why couldn't he do this? Needless to say, I didn't do it. He could and should have done it himself. What a moron.

10. In several states it's now illegal to smile on your driver's license photo. This doesn't make any sense. I don't have that problem since I never smile, but to have it against the law?...that's a bit silly don't you think? Big Brother is watching you not smile! :(
