here's one i just saw on the way back from bio - a delivery truck for the "Cape Bay Bath House" . . . contrary to its name, it's apparently a sales/service place for bathtubs, faucets, toilets, etc. - but their slogan: "Cape Bay Bath House - We Keep You Turned On!"

Okay, I have something I've bee wondering for EVER. (well since i got icq).
So here is my ICQ related question....

Why is it that there is a DND (do not disturb) mode on your availablity. There's Invisible, and there is 'not available' and there is available. If you're THAT busy that you don't want to be disturbed, why not be on invisible, so no one will bother you, or just NOT be on icq.

A friend of mine was on DND so I messged her just asking if she was there and she sent me a nasty message saying she was really really busy. And I'm sitting there thinking, 'then why the h*ll are you icq? SHEESH!

ha ha Leslie. Good Point-- some offices use ICQ as their instant communication tool, so maybe that's why. We used to use it here (now AOL IM), and DND usually meant in office can ICQ out of office I'm Busy.

I've used DND mode on ICQ when I've been online and just not wanted to talk to people. I leave it on all the time incase someone desparately needs to get me for some reason and can't get my cell or anything else. DND usually means "i'm here at the computer and working and I need utmost concentration for the moment" Friends who use it at work use DND as a way of saying "i'm in a meeting - don't want to get an 'uh oh' when the boss is in here"

I guess I never thought of ICQ in the context of business communication.

I'm refering to wierd friends of mine who are cramming for an exam or writing a paper last minute, or doing research on line and yet being on dnd. if you're that strapped for time, go on invisible so you can always see who is there and that way NOONE will bug you.

amycat412 · #66 03-22-2001, 04:54 PM

true true Leslie. I am ALWAYS in invisible mode on Yahoo and Hotmail messenger.

hee hee

But, then again--like when I am writing and need no distractions--still I can never resist opening that little envelope when it pops up, know what I mean? And sometimes just the fact that the ICQ or whatever is there, makes you powerless to resist its pull. h aha

Bucutie,

Yeah, I heard they have those super Walmarts with Mcdonalds and grocery stores in them. I think theres one out about an hour west of me but its in the middle of nowhere. It would be cool to have one like that around here

I used to have ICQ but it was slowing my computer down to much I think. So I 86'd it

Great Program but I prefer using AOL IM

There's a Super Wal Mart by my parents house in Las Vegas-- the thing is HUGE, you could spend DAYS there.

I have to add that one time i visited Chile for three weeks with a brother of mine. Well we were at the beach, Vina Del Mar, and one of the shops there is called...... *LMAO* P****. I'll let you fill in the blanks. I just about dropped my mouth when I saw the name of that store when we were walking down the street. True Story.

I hated when i had to go around the store with my rolly cart full of that stuff to stock up on the shelf. What's worse is that since im a shorty, i had to also carry around a ladder so i could reach the high shelves. That store wasnt big enough for both of us! Boy was i excited when i would be the cashier, i LOVED that! anyway, as far as B&BW goes, they always have a ton of stock in back (except some times during christmas) so if you ever go in there and cant find what you are looking for, i urge you to ask them to look in the back. Although its true, some people will lie to you just because they are too lazy to actually go in there and look- and i can also sympathize with them because if they did nearly as much work as i did, then they are pooped out!

I FEEL UR PAIN!! im short and i used to work there too!! pain in the butt i tell u.. especially since it was a blue ribbon store with an attched white barn candle company.. i hated closing, and opening.. it sucked big time

glad to know there is someone else out there who felt the same way!

Why is it that it seems to me that the more civilized we become as a society,
the less civil we become?

~Here's a classic~
If pro is the opposite of con,
then isn't congress the opposite of progress?

If you pronounce Roger the way you do
then why don't you pronounce KRoger the same way, with just a K-sound on the beginning?

Why do they call it shooting stars and/or falling stars when they're not even stars?
<It seems that if there is a part they
should reconsider isn't whether it should
be shooting or falling, but the part about
the star>

Was the NAVY named after the color they wear,
Or do they wear the color because of the name?

(not of racist intent)
Why do I meet so many causcasians named blackman, and so many african-americans named white?

What if we've been confused all these years and the only direct Son of God is actually the SUN of God?

Why are people called blue when they're sad
or yellow when they're scared?
I've been both,
but never changed color

When women speak of wearing pumps out (as in the shoes), I always envision them wearing this eloquent dress, matched with fabulous accessories, and an old pair of Reebok basketball shoes, the ones with the half-basketball for the pump.

Maybe dogs chew on shoes alot because we're always telling them to shew, and they misunderstand, that's why they alweays look so confused when you tell them to

Why is it we complain when dogs bury bones,
but it's perfectly alright, and even advised
that we try to bury "the hatchet"

and if it's "the hatchet" (as in one) hasn't it probably been buried a very long time ago
or do you have to dig it up each time
just so you can bury it
and if you have to dig it up
why bother? you'd just try to bury it anyway

if eye glasses help your eyes
are sun glasses supposed to help the sun?

if toilets in the "down under" flush
opposite to us, is it any wonder...they're just looking at it from the wrong side
if the earth were clear, and we could see a toilet flush, it'd look correct to us

I'm done,
but most of these I just made up hehe -
I'm at work, so forgive me

CorY? (which is it, C or Y?)

speaking of B A D C O C K...well in Blockbuster among the candy/food we sell is this brand of caramel popcorn called Poppycock. When it came in for the first time my ex was the one who got to stock it and he was like "Hey look, Poppycock pop corn, 'it's the nuttiest'".
