Midwest getting the snow for Christmas a few weeks early.

Snow is on the weather channels all over the midwest, weather men predicting accumulations of 6 to 14 inches in areas covering 4 states. December blizzard is here to drop snow on all the hot ski resorts and cover the drives and cars in its path. Seems as if old man winter is setting people up for the white Christmas early this year. With the arctic snow crippling the nation , it means more school closings, more business closings. People stuck at home, maybe some without heat or power.
With Christmas just a few weeks out, snow gets people in the Christmas spirit. Snow blowers will be working overtime, snow plows will be clearing roads and some of us will be braving the weather to buy presents and other household items for the big day.
Should you be one of those who brave the weather, just take care and drive safely. Make sure you take your time when traveling and have extra safety equipment in your car. Maybe carry a extra snow shovel in the trunk and some de-icer for the windshield, take extra clothes or jacket in case you get stuck out in the storm and have to walk. Snow can be fun and also hazardous, just use your head and stay alert. Blizzards are not anything to mess with, if you dont have to go out in it or go anywhere I say stay home. When these storms cause a complete whiteout at night on the highways this is when trouble starts, blowing winds build drifts across the roads and visibility drops down to less then a block and snow covers the roads up. If you do have to go out , try and do things during the day and not at night as the temperatures are a little higher during the day. Wear all the clothing protection you can so you wont get frostbite if you have to walk. Blizzards and snow storms are nothing to mess with, be safe and have a great Christmas Holiday.

Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 Gaming Online

With Call Of Duty Modern Warfare 2 going live in November, the game has been played all day and night with many of us losing sleep. The weapons and multiplayer online playing is such a adrenaline rush that some of the players continue fighting online even in to the early morning, still trying to get the kill ratio up or the win streak better then their friends. Your running and gunning just like the real thing, well maybe not as bad as a modern day war. It gets you rushing rooms and snipers are trying to take your head off. Some sneak around while others are running around with guns smoking the rounds out. It really don't matter how you play just as long as your having fun.
Close combat, like the map High Rise is fast and furious with everyone running around in a frenzy. Some are trying to get into great sniping spots, so they can try an dominate from the hiding spots from above. With so many choice's of gun's and flash bangs and claymores the air is filled with multiple sounds of various guns and explosion's. Then like in the real world you hear a harrier jet from above fly in dropping bombs. Then the last one comes in hovering above taking out the your team as they try to make there way to the other teams side to kill.
Your just a few kills away from taking the win and maybe even leveling or getting the new promotion to General, you pop up from hiding and stare right into the face of the enemy, the gun flashes and you get to respawn again. Some run right back to where they died just to get revenge for the death they just had. Many are hardcore campers also know as sitting in one spot waiting for a kill to come to them. Some have favorite hiding spots, while others just have fun running around the map. I have a few weapons of choice, I use the Aug Hbar light machine gun with a grip and acog scope. I just like the fire rate and it seems better for me, just experiment on other guns to find one that fits your style. Of course many of the players use the Intervention sniper rifle or the Scar-H assault rifle.
This is a great game, keeps on getting my attention instead of the TV or the yard. Some of you probably are the same as myself putting off other things so you can play Call of Duty MW2. I have been playing first person shooter games since 1991, and now both of my sons are playing as well. I have also made a website for my friends and anyone else who would like to be part of it. If you want just follow the link after my name at the bottom, the website is coming along pretty good, have forums page and video links and soon to come will be screenshots.

Retail Crazy People

First off I work for a large retail store, and everyday is something new. There never seems to be a day identical to another one. Customers are there to buy something and well sometimes they get upset if you don't have what they want. I try my best to make their shopping a little easier then going to the competition, I walk them to the product unless they tell me they are fine on there own. I then thank them and let them go on there way.
But now to the crazy few people, you know who you are. Their spouse sends them in to get something and they don't want to be there or they are upset because yesterday we sold the last item that was on sale and now we are out of it. So instead of thanking me for the help, they go crazy cursing me, asking for a manager, and insisting I check in the back of our warehouse for more inventory.
The more you try to help the worse it get's, and yet we still keep on helping the best we can to make the bad situation get better, trying to calm the disappointed customer down. Even though we didn't send you to the store or tell you to come in after the advertisement on the $79.00 light set now on sale for $29.00 has expired 2 days ago.
Sometimes we at the store blame it on the full moon or the other person who sent you, its not your fault your mad, they should have came in and got the stuff not you. So when your out shopping , whether somebody else sent you or you just wanted to get the last good deal, be patient around people who are really trying to help you, now granted there are a few of us out there who don't care at all, this would be our competition I hope, and not some of my co-workers. Besides who wants all the bad Karma that comes from negativity, I just want to do my job to the best of my ability, you don't have to like me at all, but just let me help you find what your looking for and be happy, not a crazy person like the ones I mentioned. I hope you have a better shopping experience every time you go somewhere now and thanks for taking a moment to read this. This was not created to offend others, just saying there are some funny people in the world we live in.
