What days do you get? In NZ Good Friday and Easter Monday are both paid public holidays.

Oh no, I don't get that one. I only get six paid holidays a year. It sucks to be me!

I'd say there's a good chance. Most of the bands do their touring in the states over the summer months.

I'm actually taking a week off for my birthday this year. Got my birthday then four days later AC/DC are in town, then the day after that it's Them Crooked Vultures and then AC/DC again. It's gonna be a great birthday week. Lots of beer.

Actually JJ, I've worked for companies that have what is called "floating holidays".  You got 3 of them that you can use a year for a paid day off on days of your choosing!!  I don't work for one now that offers that, but the contract is up in April, we'll see...lol

Actually that's a great idea. What if people had the right to choose their holidays. For example instead of taking Good Friday off, you might choose to work and take the Indy 500 day off instead. Brilliant.

You said meaningful Ron. World Vegetarian Day is on October the first. I'll be having some of those bacon and cheese burgers to celebrate that one. Not sure if the hippies have managed to get everyone a day off for it though. Probably not being hippies.

Hi JJ and Vail!!

Not that I NEED a lazy day, but I do enjoy the unexpected ones : )

I don't have a real tree this year, that was last year as we alternate.  I usually leave the decorations up 'til New Years is over as it's depressing taking them down.  Btw, when's the next meaningful holiday??

ps...I graduated from a public school as well...lol

What a wonderfully lazy day this has been!!  Haven't watched any football, instead have been watching The Librarian series (right now it's the Curse of the Judas Chalice).

Broke in the new waffle iron and hot chocolate maker...deliscious with strawberries and whipped cream!!!  Just finished eating grilled bacon cheeseburgers!!

Great to see Strat making a visit back to us...best of luck in school!!

I went back to IE because Firefox wouldn't allow me to use some apps, and I have absolutely NO problems here at JP.com!!!

I'm very happy to see we've all made it through Christmas...off this coming up week and I really am at a loss on how to fill up some of my time...any suggestions??

Also...NO New Years resoloutions for me this year!!!!!!!!
[Vaillant 3.0] Sunday, December 27, 2009 5:08:14 PM 
Don't worry, Spa. It'll all end eventually.

Unfortunately, the US doesn't have the best of education systems, but come on. I went to a public school in one of the poorest areas in Los Angeles county! I didn't have the best education either, but it was up to me to make an effort to spell better, write better essays, etc. Plus, there are alot of users here who don't have English as a first language, and the majority of them spell just as well as most of the native English speakers/writers here. Ultimately, you are in charge of your own education, and eventually your life. A boss looking for a good employee won't accept someone who can't spell 'the' properly.

Look, it's okay if you can't spell properly right now. No harm, no foul. But at least take the time you have here to improve the way you write/communicate. Remember, even if you're done with school, you never really stop learning.

Question?? If you notice spelling mistakes, why don't you try to improve your own as you obviously have the talent for it, but not the panache.

Nope, I guess it's not a crime.

You gotta improve eventually though. You're in high school, right? You're going to be asked to TYPE essays in the future.

Brandon, while the human brain can interpret what you type because you have the right letters in all the wrong places, May I be so bold as to suggest Mavis Beacon typing so you actually make sense! Nine bucks, and you can be on the road to typing in a way people don't have to strain to read what you type.  Just a suggestion, for I have never seen anyone type so bad, and yes it is so bad it looks contrived. If you don't know what that means, look it up.

No, it isn't the site, it is your computer. Specifically, the little java applet running to the right of the bar. As the name suggests, it is a basic "runtime error." VERY common.

My fix? Stop using IE as you should have done so years ago. Firefox has always been the choice of nerds and is also free. IE is a dinosaur, bloatware and runs slower then hell. Use Firefox. Free, faster, more secure and able to customize 1000x more than IE. Download, install, import your bookmarks and, voilá, problem solved.

Lemme know.
