I tried the Atkins diet

After months of vigorous excersize and reducing my food intake,

I was not losing much weight, until I tried Atkins, I was constantly

lathargic and had many sugar cravings. I did lose 25 pounds.

Atkins works. But you have to follow it exactly and use the expensive

vitamins and essential oils etc. I had high cholestorol for the first time

ever, I quit Atkins, and now eating alot of vegetables and I am bike

 riding 3 times a week.

It's Saturday!

The day to get things done around the house.

I went to have a speed sensor replaced in my truck, The charge was $358, I told them to forget it.

I then was told the charge to diagnose was $68 I said forget that! I fought and won.

I just found out the part is $20 and it just screws in.

I think you get screwed everytime you have a vehicle repaired, and they don't even kiss you when you leave the door.

I vow to do more of my own repairs now that I have a vehicle over 100.000 miles.

Alice Cooper

Schools Out!

I think of that song, School's Out
today as I see the little youngsters, climb into their mommies cars

on their last day of school. I saw some with headphones on listening to the latest

pre-teen hit. Probably not Marilyn Manson, a modern day rendition of Alice Cooper.

My first rock concert was Alice Cooper, I think it was 1971 or there about. My sister

Robin and I went with some friends. This was a big controversy back in the days,

A man that aledgedly stomps chickens on stage and wears womens clothes, singing

evil songs like I'm Eighteen Sounds pretty tame now. I had been to The Grand Old Opry,

and I remember hearing Faron Young cuss. This Alice Cooper was un-real I could not

have imagined a man in a parachute jumper and ladies hose all torn up and long wild

hair and eye make-up. The music was loud and I remember the first song. "she struts

into the room and I don't know her, with a magnifying glasss you look her over ...

crosses the stage and sets down a bottle of Jack Daniels, then sings, Be My Lover

I believe he is still performing in this get-up, Hey what the hell I may be cleaning pools

Buying a used car? Look here first!

The state lemon law is found under every State's consumer
legislation, which governs pretty much everything about how
goods can be sold, in what kind of condition, and under what
terms and circumstances.

The lemon law legislation is intended to protect the average
consumer (who isn't expected to know everything!) from the
fraudulent sales of goods, including motor vehicles.

These laws have come to be called 'lemon laws' because
vehicles that have more-than-your-average-amount of repairs
and mechanical troubles are called 'lemons.' Some of these
lemon laws cover RVs, boats and motorcycles, in addition to
cars and trucks.

Each state's lemon law is different. We've recently created a
site that gives a summary and the full text for each state
lemon law:

==> http://www.state-lemon-law.org

Here are 8 ways to protect yourself from ever needing to look
up your state's lemon law:

1. Do your research. If a particular make or year of vehicle
appeals to you, find out everything you can about that
vehicle. There may even be current claims made according to
the lemon laws. There are lots of consumer report sites
online, books you can buy, and magazines you can read that
have documented 'the good, the bad, and the ugly' on almost
every make and model of vehicle sold in North America.

2. If you are buying a used vehicle, take it for a test
drive. If you are not familiar with mechanics, try to bring
someone along with you who is -- and make sure he or she has
a good look at the engine, the body, the front end and the
rear end of the vehicle. Better that than having to look up
your state's lemon law!

3. Look up the 'Blue Book' value of the particular vehicle.
The Blue Book has a listing for every vehicle's value
according to some national standards. Avoid paying more for a
vehicle than the 'Blue Book' price.

4. The old adage, "If it seems too good to be true, it
probably is," has never been more true than when applied to
buying a used vehicle.

Use common sense when you are thinking of purchasing one. Is
there a reason the car's been sitting for a year? Why do you
suppose the rear door looks 'different' than the rest of the
car?

Have your 'fraud antenna' up really high, and ask lots of
questions -- an honest seller won't be offended by your extra
caution -- and most sellers are aware of the state lemon
laws.

5. Be sure to ask for a car fax report, which will detail if
the vehicle has ever been in an accident.

6. Ask to see any historical documentation on the vehicle --
copies of repair or purchase orders, oil change logs, etc.

7. Check the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number) of the
vehicle to find out if it has ever been classified as a lemon
according to the lemon law of your state. Visit:

==> http://www.cardetective.com/lemon-help.html

8. Ask if there are any Technical Service Bulletins (TSBs),
which are manufacturer's instructions to alert dealerships of
problems in any particular models.

If you have already bought a vehicle or are in the process of
buying one, make sure you take the following steps to protect
yourself even further:

1. Keep a notebook about every conversation you have with the
person selling you the vehicle, including phone calls.
Include the date and time, and enough information about what
was discussed so it will jog your memory later if it's
needed.

2. Ask to keep any documentation you looked at when you
purchased the car (repair orders, etc.), including the
warranty book and owner's manual. Then continue to keep
copies of any further documentation regarding your vehicle
from the moment it's yours.

If you have bought a vehicle that you think might 'qualify'
as a lemon based on the definitions in the State lemon laws
-- in other words, it has a long history of repairs -- sit
down and create a 'timeline' organizing each shop visit by
date, the number of repairs that have been done, and the
amount of total time your vehicle has spent in repair shops
and out of service.

If you think you might have a case, check out the state
lemon law for where you live, and contact an attorney in the
state where you purchased your vehicle.

A very productive day Saturday.

Added 2 really good new customers.

I have begun to realize why I got into the pool business. One of my new accounts had the most beautiful pool and backyards, I have seen, in a long time.

I am hearing the complaints loud and clear. Complaints about my competitors. I hear that Big shot pool company incorparated, doesn't have the time to re-schedule a pool cleaning to accommodate a customer having thier daughters graduation party. I am concentrating on service, in a world of declining service. Anyone who ever stocked shelves at a pool store, is starting their own "pool service" these days. What you get are freshly released from prison, drug addicted punks. With enough business to hire out the accounts, The Big-shot Inc., often hires a sub-contracter or hourly employee, that does very little more than drop a few tablets into a skimmer, brush quickly then move on. These wise guys see how easy it seems to rake in some cash each month, they in turn begin their own "pool service". I see the same thing happening in lawn maintenence. It seems everybody in Fort Worth, is either in the pool service or lawn service business. Very few are trained, and few are qualified. Most are building pools also, big money can be had, and quite often very mediocre work is done. If I can get reliable repair techs, and get income from all the calls I get, as in sales of chemicals and supplies, I will have a lucrative summer. I am a member of the Better Business Bureau, and certified by C.P.O. , and I.P.S.S.A.  Above all I intend to focus on communication, and attention to detail to a customers needs. School is out now at alot of schools and soon for all. So it is time to swim!

Not only are the popular camera-phones used for perverse locker room, and up-skirt shots, and now this...

Cell Phone Scams

Next time you use your credit card in a convenience store or
restaurant, be aware that scammers can now use camera-equipped
cell phones to snap pics of your card number and name.

Frightening fact: It takes the scammer less than a minute to
take the picture and transmit the account name and numbers --
locally or even overseas!

Some cell phones are even capable of shooting short video
'clips,' so scammers are using these near ATMs to capture not
just the image of your card, but your PIN # as you enter it as
well.

To protect yourself from this happening to you, don't let your
credit or ATM card out of your sight. And when you're punching
in your PIN # at the ATM, cover the hand you're using to type
with your other hand.


Spim...

In the very unlikely event that you are not yet totally
disgusted with spaham (misspelling intentional to keep
ScamBusters out of the filters), unscrupulous marketers are now
also going after instant messaging (IM) users -- and the result
is called 'spim.'

Although nowhere near as big a problem as spaham, spim has been
growing dramatically in recent weeks. Yahoo reports that less
than 2% of its IM traffic is spim. However, the Radicati Group
estimates that the number of spim messages will triple by the
end of the year -- to about 1.2 billion IMs.

The Gartner Group predicts that by the end of 2005, IM will
surpass email as the primary way that people interact
electronically. Whether or not they are correct, since both
personal and business IM are clearly growing extremely rapidly,
spim is something to watch out for.

This lovely lady is getting married today.

At 10 am today at St. Patricks Cathedral, in downtown Fort Worth, my friend Suzette is

getting married for the first time. This vivacious, fun-loving, just barely under 30,

beautiful woman is finally getting married.She and her husband Brian are going on a

honeymoon in Italy, I think people will mistake her for a young Sophia Loren.

Here is a song linked to a good blog ,

The Passmore Gulag Fun Park

The song is "Always look on the bright side of life" from the Monty Python film

Life of Brian (1979) , now being re-released in its 25 year anniversary, on video,

and at the theater. I plan on seeing it! I will review it soon. As I look around at

the symbols of the Catholic church , I'll whistle this tune in my head. You have

always been one to "look on the bright side of life" Suzette, Here's to your "Life

with Brian". good luck!- MK

lyrics:

Always look on the bright side of life

Cheer up, Brian. You know what they say.
Some things in life are bad,
They can really make you mad.
Other things just make you swear and curse.
When you're chewing on life's gristle,
Don't grumble, give a wistle!
And this'll help things turn out for the best...
And...

...always look on the bright side of life!
(whistle)

Always look on the bright side of life...
If life seems jolly rotten,
There's something you've forgotten!
And that's to laugh and smile and dance and sing,

When you're feeling in the dumps,
Don't be silly chumps,
Just purse your lips and whistle -- that's the thing!
And... always look on the bright side of life...

(whistle)
Come on!

Always look on the bright side of life...
(whistle)

For life is quite absurd,
And death's the final word.
You must always face the curtain with a bow!
Forget about your sin -- give the audience a grin,
Enjoy it -- it's the last chance anyhow!

So always look on the bright side of death!
Just before you draw your terminal breath.
Life's a piece of shit,
When you look at it.

Life's a laugh and death's a joke, it's true,
You'll see it's all a show,
Keep 'em laughing as you go.
Just remember that the last laugh is on you!

And always look on the bright side of life...
(whistle)
Always look on the bright side of life
(whistle)

By Paul Bourgeois / Star-Telegram Staff Writer Hildo De La Cruz tried to pull out his pepper spray, but the pack of dogs was already on him. Beware of dog Dogs!! That is the message I insert on a sub-contracter form to do a filter clean or a pool service call. Many times I have had dogs surprise me , I am able to make friends with most yard dogs and family pets. The ones I worry the most about are the visiting pet of a friend or relative. I have had Rottweillers, Pit-bulls, Doberman Pinchers etc. come after me, I am always armed with my pepper spray. It does not harm the animal as much as you think, and it tells them to back-off for a while. What worries me the most are trained attack dogs, that the homeowner forgot to put up prior to my service call. Another danger are stray dogs that get with a pack and become a killing team, they can easily kill grown people. Dogs, are a part of my business, just please, put the dogs up, on your scheduled service day.

Beware shoppers! some recent scams

Credit Card Fraud and Identity Theft -- A New Spin

Identity thieves are now calling credit card holders and posing
as fraud troubleshooters for major credit card providers.

They tell unsuspecting victims that they are investigating a
potential fraudulent charge that has been made to their
account, and they offer to help the card holder reverse the
charge and get a credit.

All you have to do is "verify" your credit card information.

Of course, these scammers then use that information to do the
very thing they claim someone else already did -- make
fraudulent charges against your card, or steal your identity!

Here's an example: The scamster calls to find out if you
purchased a particular piece of hardware, and sometimes they
mention a specific company. They say that there has been a lot
of fraud related to this item.

When you say you haven't purchased the item, the scammer lets
you know that a fraud investigation has been started, and that
you'll receive credit for the purchase. Some scammers sound so
legitimate they actually offer up a "case number" for your
records.

The scamsters goal is to gain your trust. They then ask you to
"verify" your billing address. Next, they may ask if you still
have the card in your possession, and if so, if you could read
back the account number and expiration date.

Once again, our advice is: NEVER give your credit card details
-- or other personal information -- to strangers over the phone
or via email. Your credit card company already knows them!


FDIC Email Scam

If you get an official-looking email from the Federal Deposit
Insurance Corporation (FDIC) -- including the FDIC logo --
telling you that the Department of Homeland Security has
suspended insurance on your bank account due to suspected
violations of the Patriot Act (which is the US anti-terrorism
law), don't respond!

This is just another attempt to get access to your personal
information.

The email, of course, asks the recipient to provide lots of
personal information, including bank account information. It
also includes a link to a bogus website that supposedly belongs
to the FDIC (it doesn't).

If you receive this email, you can contact the real FDIC at
alert@fdic.gov for further information.



Protect Yourself -- Easily -- From PC Viruses and Spyware

Every single day we hear about viruses causing major PC
crashes, PCs being hacked into, Spyware installed without

The inconvenience and cost of repairing this physical damage
is considerable, but the psychological effect can be
devastating.

Yet it's relatively simple to protect yourself! But if
that's the case, why do millions of newbies never protect
themselves as they should?

It's because installing security and safety precautions
APPEARS to be costly, technical, and intimidating. So the
vast majority of people don't do it -- with devastating
consequences!

throttle all the way up to the light. Speeding seems to be the rule. Everyone is in a hurry these days, slow

down, walk, relax. Turn off the tv, the games, computer, plant a garden. Go outside and play!

"I'll gladly pay you tuesday for a hamburger today"- Wimpy

The 100 year anniversary of the hamburger, one more from Texas

Hamburger's 100th year makes for a juicy story

what is the origon of wimp, or wimpy? I think it is the Popeye character above.

defined: wimp

As the Oxford English Dictionary defines the term, a "wimp" is "a feeble or ineffectual person; one who is spineless or 'wet.'" ("Wet" is a fine English slang term meaning "inept or dorky.") The folks at Oxford go on to note (for the benefit of those who have recently arrived from Mars, I suppose) that "wimp" is "used only as a term of abuse or contempt."

That's putting it mildly. Since "wimp" became popular around 1960, it has been considered synonymous with "drip," "weakling," "dork," "nerd" and "wuss." A standard part of college slang for years. One of the theories proposed for the origin of "wimp" is that it comes from the name of J. Wellington Wimpy, a.k.a. "Wimpy," a character in the old "Popeye" cartoons. "I'd gladly pay you tomorrow for a hamburger today," was Wimpy's perennial plaintive refrain, and his whiny, timid demeanor would certainly have made him a good mascot for wimps worldwide.

But a more likely source is simply the word "whimper," a characteristic activity of wimps. Bolstering this theory is the fact that when "wimp" first appeared in the 1920's in England, it was as college slang for a woman or girl, based on the idea that women are more likely to weep than men.

Sure enough is May here in Fort Worth, Texas. We got hail last night and lots of rain again this morning. Hail the size of golf balls, no damage noted yet.

Listen up! Do not cross over flooded roadways

Stay home during a storm!!

Woman, tot die in Fort Worth floodwaters
Fort Worth Fire Department spokesman Lt. Kent Worley said a woman and her 2 1/2-year-old son died after floodwaters swept her car from the road. Firefighters were searching Saturday morning for the woman's 1 1/2-year-old son, who family members said should also have been with his mother.

Has anyone ever seen "bowling ball" size hail?, or "beach ball" size hail? We had a hell of a hail storm in 1995 in Fort Worth Mayfest '95. read: The 5/5/95 Fort Worth Hailstorm

I was one block from this storm, when it hit. I was shocked to see all the people going to Mayfest knowing of the storm heading our way.People always try to cross flooded roads, and conduct life as usual in storms . Just try to get someone to work on a rainy day. I surveyed the damage with my hard hat on. Dented vehicles resembled the dark dide of the moon. I had 17 flat tires that year.
