Sun Sets On Hard Rock Park
Myrtle Beach's Hard Rock Park files for chapter 11 and closed down for the "winter" season. The park is supposed to re-open in the spring of 09.Honestly, it doesn't surprise me! For what the park has to offer the prices are to high ... it ain't no Disney Land that's for sure! The first time I was invited to go it was exciting due to it's newness, however my second visit, well, I found the park to be rather boring. And it certainly isn't family friendly.
The park's owner claims that it had to file for chapter 11 due to the current economic down turn. OK, I'll accept that. But from my vantage point, Hard Rock Park did itself in as well. At this time Myrtle Beach isn't ready for high end adventures until it begins to attract vacationers who are willing to spend on high end merchandise. As for the future of Hard Rock Park, well, we'll certainly see this coming spring ... stay turned!

The Real World by Bill Gates
THIS SHOULD BE POSTED IN ALL SCHOOLS AND WORK PLACES
Love him or hate him, he sure hits the nail on the head with this! Bill Gates recently gave a speech at a High School about 11 things they did not and will not learn in school. He talks about how feel-good, politically correct teachings created a generation of kids with no concept of reality and how this concept set them up for failure in the real world.
Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!
Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.
Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice-president with a car phone until you earn both.
Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.
Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your Grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.
Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault, so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.
Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.
Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.
Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you FIND YOURSELF. Do that on your own time.
Rule 10: Television is NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.
Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.
If you agree, pass it on.

ID ten T Error
I was having trouble with my computer. So I called Braden, the 11 year old next door whose bedroom looks like Mission Control, and asked him to come over. Braden clicked a couple of buttons and solved the problem. As he was walking away, I called after him, 'So, what was wrong? He replied, 'It was an ID ten T error. 'I didn't want to appear stupid, but nonetheless inquired, 'An, ID ten T error? What's that? In case I need to fix it again. 'Braden grinned.... ' Haven't you ever heard of an ID ten T error before? ''No,' I replied. 'Write it down,' he said, 'and I think you'll figure it out.' So I wrote down: I D 1 0 T … I used to like the little s--t.

Mr. President!
I’m just one of millions of Americans who lives week to week on one paycheck. Your stimulus tax refund was great, but as a consumer I didn’t use the rebate to buy a new high definition TV, a microwave, or computer to help stimulate China's pocketbook. Instead, I paid down a car loan and caught up on some bills which dried up the refund … which, by the way I’ll have to pay taxes on come 2009. Now this TOTALLY sucks!
First of all, I didn’t ask or vote for the stimulus package, therefore why should I have to pay taxes on something that was shoved down my throat?
Secondly, since you’re bailing out companies who made BAD choices in investments … which I believe you shouldn’t have, why not BAIL me out with Million’s simply because I didn’t make bad investments and because as a consumer I do help to stimulate the American economy?
Oops! I did it again. That’s right! All I’m good for is paying taxes so you can bail out some of the “RICHEST” companies who allowed GREED to blur their business judgment and now have to rely on you in the form of corporate welfare to keep them afloat … in other words, SCREW the tax payers, help the rich!?!
I know you won’t respond to this and that’s ok. But with elections coming up I’ll certainly take this issue to the voting booth and will consider this matter, as well as you’re handling of the economy … which, by the way, if you haven’t noticed totally SUCKS!, when I check the box for whom I believe will run this country better than you are?
Sincerely,
Just One American Voter

My Heart
Never take someone for grantedHold every person close to your heart
Because you might wake up one day
And realize that you've lost a diamond
While you were too busy collecting stones.
Give this heart to everyone you don't want to lose.
Try to collect 12. It's not easy!

How To Stay Young
1. Throw out nonessential numbers. This includes age, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay 'them.'
2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.
3. Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, whatever, even ham radio. Never let the brain idle. 'An id le mind is the devil's workshop.' And the devil's name is Alzheimer's.
4. Enjoy the simple things.
5. Laugh often, long and loud. La ugh until you gasp for breath.
6. The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person, who is with us our entire life, is ourselves. Be ALIVE while you are alive.
7. Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, and hobbies, whatever. Your home is your refuge.
8. Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.
9. Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, even to the next county; to a foreign country but NOT to where the guilt is.
10. Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.

Never Choke In A Restaurant In The South!
Two hillbillies walk into a restaurant. While having a bite to eat, they talk about their moonshine operation.
Suddenly, a woman at a nearby table, who is eating a sandwich, begins to cough. And, after a minute or so, it becomes apparent that she is in real distress. One of the hillbillies looks at her and says, 'Kin ya swallar?'
The woman shakes her head no.
Then he asks, 'Kin ya breathe?'
The woman begins to turn blue and shakes her head no.
The hillbilly walks over to the woman, lifts up her dress, yanks down her drawers and quickly gives her right butt cheek a lick with his tongue. The woman is so shocked that she has a violent spasm and the obstruction flies out of her mouth. As she begins to breathe again, the Hillbilly walks slowly back to his table.
His partner says, 'Ya know, I'd heerd of that there 'Hind Lick Maneuver' but I ain't niver seed nobody do it!'

Bye Bye Hanna!
Went to bed last night awakening around 8:30 this morning. The first thing I did was make coffee ... can't start my day without it! Then I ventured outside to survey whatever damage there might be (fallen tree branches, someones house sitting in my back yard ... LOL, some woman's bra ... OH NO!, etc.) Well, nothing, zip, nada! Hanna wasn't all she was cracked up to be! I tell you, the media can sure hype things up ... no wonder lots of people don't believe in looming dangers! Anyway, Hanna was a rain maker, but her blowing power wasn't all that. And in watching the news this morning, there doesn't seem to be to much damage around the city either ... thank God! Course, the one we're all keeping our eyes on is the next BIG one ... Ike! Now he's one blow hard that needs to be taken seriously!!!!
The Problem With Tom
Force Smokers To Light Up Indoors
"I remember hearing that the hole in the ozone layer was caused by cigarette smoke. I think that the laws that are forcing smokers to smoke outside is worsening the problem. Before these laws were passed the smokers were inside where the smoke was easily absorbed by furniture, carpeting, hair, clothing and lungs. I therefore take it upon myself to encourage everybody to write their congressmen to urge them to change these laws 180 degrees and instead force smokers to smoke indoors." - Tom Muirtha, MB
Dear Tom,
We should do the same to drunks who drink in restaurants and bars then get into their car's and, more often than not, kill Innocent people on our roads and highways. Remember, driving buzzed is illegal. Therefore, there should be a law keeping drunkards at home and not be owners of cars.
Ride Our Area Of Rallies' "Plague"
"As a prominent local who tried to learn to ride a motorcycle many years ago with two sons who ride or have ridden on a regular basis, and who has observed the May madness for a number of year, I would like to observe:"
"The bikers, both black and white have abused their privilege to gather, meet and ride in our communities. Like other immature but over-age adolescents, they should have the local privileges taken away."
"And if our local elected officials are not too timid to do what has to be done, to ride our area of the plague, they, too, will have forfeited their privilege to lead and should be turned out at the first opportunity." -Tom Young, NMB
Dear Tom:
You must be related to our "wonderful" Mayor, John Rodes, the other white haired dude? If we're going to ban our bike rallies then we need to ban every other public gathering held here on the P.D. Then when the tourist stop coming cause they can't have ANY fun, then maybe the federal government will bail us out?

Hanna!
6PM:
My day in a nutshell ... worked my eight hour shift, came home, and hung out with a buddy for a while.
Down at the beach the ocean's showing herself ... surfable waves are pounding the shore. The sky, a dark gloomy, yet beautiful active canopy hangs overhead with a devilish smirk. Hanna's-a-coming!
Though it's not been declared a "hurricane", the suspected winds are said to be anywhere from 50 to 75 mph. Then, there's the rain. The two combined, it could get a bit hairy throughout the night! Hanna may sound like a timid name, but she seems to be hold'in a pretty good punch.
It is said that the from the center out, this muther reaches 230 miles. Not only is she going to be a bitch, she's going to be a nasty bitch. Have to say this system is calling it ((c-L-O-S-E! ))
Then there's Ike! He's already a full blown pissed off system!
If I had to compare this "hurricane" to a candidate, guess my vote would be for, Palin.
Pray for us!!
11:30P:
Shyt, the bitch still ain't here! Originally, it was to arrive this evening. Now it's being said that she won't be arriving till morning. And, it's being said that Hanna's going to make landfall here in Myrtle Beach. Crap!!
Meanwhile, the outer bands of rain and wind is coming through. At the beach, the ocean is relatively rough. There's also a tornado warning out. Nonetheless, between bands, it's really nice outside!
The picture was taken just outside of where I work.
