Ok, what is it with some women who won’t look at a man who’s going or is already bald? For goodness sake, men have been going bald for oh, I don’t know, about a gazillion years. It’s not their fault. They aren’t bald because they masturbated when they were young or because they used the wrong brand of toothpaste or heaven forbid because they told too many lies. It’s genetic and it doesn’t affect their personality one single bit.

“A bald man isn’t attractive to me,” one woman said recently.

So turn off the lights! She’d met someone online who has a bald spot at the back of his head and she couldn’t see it in his profile photo and she was outraged that he hadn’t told her about it. She wanted me to “out” him as a liar. Well, in the first place, we never out anyone, but secondly, what a stupid, shallow woman she was. Bald men, just as men with a shock of really thick hair are not much different if you ask me. You can clean them both up really nicely (oh wait, except for the really horrible comb-overs.. ) and they’re really attractive and very sexy. Old Yul Brynner never had trouble picking up chicks! He made it chiq to shave it all off. What is up with women who won’t date men who have hair loss?

I suspect she really doesn’t like men at all and only tolerates them if they have hair. She’s probably constipated too.

This is a new blog promotion site that’s just starting out and frankly I think it’s going nowhere.. fast. The way they’re promoting it is for someone to join and in order to get all the free bells and whistles you have to refer two friends. That’s how I found it, someone I respect recommended it.

I went to the site and joined and sure enough, I had to refer 2 friends in order to get all the toys and I did. I entered this blog and didn’t put up a photo because I wanted to see what other people were putting up before I uploaded one. I had to hit submit to get out of that screen and look at the other blogs, but guess what? There’s no way to go back and edit your blog. There’s also no way to delete your blog.

I wrote to my friend and asked if she was really pleased with it and she said, “nah, it sucks big time.”

After grumbling for several long minutes I said, “fuck this, I’m going to write to their contact address and ask them to delete my blog.” You can’t. You can write to them all right, but when you enter the security codes, it ALWAYS comes back and says you put the wrong code in. Now I know I’m old, but 8 times (I keep looking in the pantry for new things to eat too.) and I figure it doesn’t work.

If someone recommends it, take my advice and don’t waste your time on blogballot.com. Anyone that doesn’t permit you to remove your data isn’t for me and it shouldn’t be for you either.

Should someone from blogballot.com see this post and realize that I’m too stupid for words, or makes changes to their code, just let me know. I don’t hate you, I just think you’re wrong.

***Edit.. I have received a comment from Mitul saying that they are working on the ability to edit a blog entry and to allow people to delete their blogs. I think that’s putting the cart before the horse but I really appreciate his letting me know that he read the blog and he’s aware that the lack of these functions is hurting his business. Thanks a lot for replying, Mitul

A friend of mine sent me this excerpt from a book called “Disorder in the American Courts” and I cracked up at some of them. Makes you wonder why it takes so long to get a law degree because some of these people are just plain stupid.

According to the Australian ABC news, one of the last shipments to a US research base in Antarctica before the onset of winter darkness was a year’s supply of condoms.

Bill Henriksen, the manager of the McMurdo base station, said nearly 16,500 condoms were delivered last month and would be made available, free of charge, to staff throughout the year to avoid the potential embarrassment of having to buy them.

The base only has a skeleton staff through the long winter.

“Since everybody knows everyone, it becomes a little bit uncomfortable,” Mr Henriksen told the Southland Times newspaper.

About 125 scientists and staff are stationed at McMurdo base, the largest community in Antarctica, during the winter months when there is constant darkness.

The first sunrise will occur on August 20 and McMurdo’s population will start to increase again in September when supply flights resume, peaking at more than 1,000 during the summer period.

OK then, 1000 scientists just might need 16,500 condoms but aren’t those Americans sexy? Woo hoo, I love it! You gotta admire those scientists for always using safe sex.

I know times are freakin tough the world over. Rising food prices because of the rise in the price of a barrel of oil. So to all you Americans who are groaning over what you pay for a gallon of gas, you are doing pretty well. I just filled up here in New Zealand and at $2.099 per litre and then converting the litres to gallons and converting it to US Dollars on xe.com, I paid a whopping $6.09 U.S. per gallon. Compared to your $3.85 - $4.00 U.S. a gallon, I’m feeling really poor right now.

So the next time you’re feeling poorly that you are struggling to fill the tank, give a thought to those paying even more than you are. It ain’t pretty.

Let’s hope the change in government will turn things around and the dollar will be stronger and that the oil situation will ease. My fingers are crossed.
