Saturday, August 14th, 2010

Thursday, August 5th, 2010

Queue Jumper BJV2290

Monday, February 22nd, 2010

On the road, one should not only think about oneself but about others. If the road is made only for 2 parallel vehicles, don’t make it three. But then again people don’t care.
For example: Who is more despicable, queue jumper or new queue maker?. I like this post so much I am borrowing his images.

My better half told me yesterday that we can now add our local bank accounts in PayPal. It was too good to be true so I decided to check. I went to check my PayPal emails first just in case I missed an announcement. However, I don’t see any. It’s kinda weird that when a [...]
