Well. Nature isn't quite done with us here in The Plywood State (see earlier posting) yet. There's another storm out there in the Gulf of Mexico, and it's taking aim (guess where) at the Florida Panhandle! Well, at least Mathew is expected to stay a tropical storm for the next 48 hours, giving it time to make lanfall with maximum sustained winds around 40 mph.
I shouldn't complain, my lawn needs the water and my water bill is too high :)

The Ten Commandments of Blogging (or, my rules of blog-reading and how they apply to me)

I've been reading through oh, I'd guess about a hundred different blogs since yesterday about this time (9:03 CDT) and I've found site that range from Really Great, to really sucky, to the downright Detestable.
So, I've decided to adopt some rules about my blog-reading habits (let's see if I can stick to them:).
1. A blog that has a title that starts with the words "My Life" will get two seconds before I click "Next Blog" unless it it has something that really catches my eye.
2. Blogs that use the + pointers that replace my default mouse pointer will IMMEDIATELY be deemed as unviewable and I will go to the next blog.
3. If I see a picture of three oriental kids holding a basket-ball, NEXT BLOG. (note, I've see that photo on 5 or six different blogs and I'm tired of looking at it)

4. Cross-Dresser's blogs will be skipped, unless they have something witty in the first line of their blog. It's not that I'm against cross-dressers, just don't get into it.
5. Commercial blogs. The "Info-mercial" blogs, where people decide to post Multi-level-Marketing (MLM) content, or strickly business blogs, NEXT BLOG.
6. Weird Sexual blogs. I think this goes without saying, except that I think most of us are getting annoyed at the weirdo's out there who are posting pics of people doing things with objects, animals, or hermaphrodites. NEXT BLOG.

7. Thou Shalt Not -post something that condemns me to hell for being the way I am. Screw you guys, just who the hell appointed YOU God? I think the Big Guy is probably getting pissed at YOU for making Him (God) look bad to those who really could use His Help!
8. Lack of originality. Any site that has nothing but links to OTHER sites, NEXT BLOG.
9. Bad grammar. I'm an American, and was brought up to use real words, real punctuation, and correct spelling -as much as possible.
(sO win i FInda sIt dat lOkz lIk Diss ), I Click NEXT BLOG.
10. Soap Opera Fansites. Look, you people have places to go, things to do? Don't you have some thoughts about something that is even interesting to You? Maybe you could get political, or comment about how your best friend has dyed her hair pink, and your menses is really pissing you off, or some guy bashed you for writing about your site because you don't write anything except what happened today on your favorite soaps. Damn that guy!

Free I-Pod Dance Line *UPDATE*

I've created a new blog *just* for the iPod Dance Line. Just Click Here to go there. I'll leave the iPod Dance Line up here for a few more days, then I'm going to re-start my regular posts above it. You'll still be able to see it here, but it will no longer be regularly updated. The iPod Dance Line Blog Will be updated on a regular basis and I'll continue to place user's referral links there as they sign up.
TheLawnMowerMan

*NEW*
I'm starting a iPod Dance Line for those who've joined FreeiPods.com and need people to join up under them. My referal link is listed first, and should be the first to be used, after that one's been used up (ie, When I've gotten 5 (five) referals to complete their requirements, I'll undo my link, then just move on down to the next in line.

If you want YOUR FreeiPods.com referal link listed here. Write me at thelawnmowerman@gmail.com, let me know if you already have referals and if they've completed their requirements.
REMEMBER, unless you really want to pay for the services that you sign up for, you'll want to Cancel your subsciption/s as soon as you've fulfilled your requirements!

And the FreeiPods Dance starts:)
#1. referer=9857860(My referal link- still need 4 to sign up and fulfill their requirements)
#2. referer=10039259

Free iPod Deal

Ok. I've studied up on this and found 2 (two) very interesting articles that may help you decide IF the freeipods.com dead is for real.
The first is Wired News, article is "Making Free IPods Pay Off".
The second place to go on the net is Geek.com Geek News. The article is "Free iPod, no catch" .
If that don't convince you, I don't know what will.
If you've finally been won over, PLEASE, by all means use my this link to go to sign up for YOU OWN Free iPod!
To sweeten the deal, I'll give a GMail Invite to the five people who use My Link to sign up for thier Free iPod! Just click this link http://www.freeiPods.com/default.aspx?referer=9857860 to sign up, then complete an offer, and Cancel it (so your card won't get charged) and I'll send your GMail Invite the same day you do. *Unless I'm sleeping* :)
To those who've already completed their offers, Thanks a bunch, and send me the link to your blog/web sites. I'll post them here.
