Only on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

Practicing for married life already??

Be Thankful for the password protection on the phone. Last time my Cell went went missing.... was at a Boogie. Friends and Family got all sorts of interesting phone calls.

A Good S.O. knows how to Motivate you without nagging you. A Good S.O. Inspires you. A Good S.O. understands You and accepts you for who you are. A Good S.O. sees your Flaws and loves you even more because of them. A Good S.O. Never wants you to Change. They Love you for exactly who you are but at the same time, they are willing to help you grow as a person. (Edit) OH.. And gives REALLY Good Head and loves sex as much as you do!

I can Funnel an Exit better than anyone!! I am so good, I can even Funnel a Solo.

Thats the one. I suggested Cora go as Dawn For Halloween. Think she could pull it off?

does it require iTunes?

Ding!! Ding!! Ding!!! We have a winner!! Some people (Male and/or Female) will find a crisis or something to get upset about no matter what you do or dont do.

****Warning bad joke ahead****** Why do women love a man that kisses Ass??? They can turn around real quick!! *****Hey.. I said it was bad!!*******

Depends on the girl. For some it simply isnt possible.

OK.. How about restricting your options. Is that better?? Want Music on your Cingular phone?? Gotta use iTunes. OH.. BTW.. Still not a single reason the iPod is better. Line up kiddies... Rev Jobs has more Kool-aid on the way. Keep on drinkin.

We just resently lost my alltime favorite Blues Man. Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown. I first heard him when I was in College and got to see him perform quite a few times live over the years. ALways a great show. Check out some of his music if you get a chance.

You do realize that this exactly one of the reasons I hate the iPod?? You say you couldn`t play your legally purchased WMA files.. so your solution was to buy an iPod?? Not much of a solution considering the iPod definitely will not play those songs either. You do realize that those songs in WMA format will play on almost every other Player on the Market other than the iPod?? As for iTunes Lots of people like it. Thas great for them. My issue is that I dont like it. I dont think that it is necessary (and it is not for other MP3 Players). It does have allot of bells and whistles and you can do neat things with it if you have time to sit and play with it. I dont. All I want to do is copy a few files from my hard drive to my MP3 Player and maybe delete a few files off the MP3 player. That’s it. Nothing more. Being forced into using a huge application like iTunes for that is ridiculous. I dont give a shit about a "Library" that must be maintained or creating "Playlists". Apple is forcing people into a false dependence on their software (and Music Store). Other MP3 players work just fine with iTunes as well but do not try to force you in to using it. (Yes, I know you can use other Applications like MediaMonkey and others instead but if you dont want to deal with ANY of these for your simple tasks, you are screwed with an iPod). Now back to original point... iTunes (for those who like it) works just fine with other MP3 players, However other MP3 players do not REQUIRE a program like iTUnes for simple everyday tasks. iPods are designed to have a short life (Non-replaceable Battery). Ipods dont play other common files types such as WMA. podcasts are NOT limited to iPod and will play on ANY MP3 player. Granted that iTunes is a great way to manage podcast subscriptions but that has nothing to do with the iPod.. iTunes works just as well with other MP3 players. These are all negatives and reasons why other MP3 players are better. Still no one has given a single reason why iPods are better. "I love my iPod/iTunes" is not a valid reason. Why is your iPod better than less expensive models?? What does it do that the others dont??I can name MANY things that the others do that the iPod doesnt. I personally think iPods and MP3 players in general are on the way out as MP3 players will be just another function of your Cell phone in a year or two. Why carry a Cell phone, MP3 Player and Digital camera when you can have all in one. Of course apple is already ahead of the Curve on this too by partnering with Cingular on their MP3 phone and AGAIN forcing you to use iTunes. (I love being able to argue without having to go into Speakers Corner)

get a different Job.

The ultimate Oral Sex song!! Sit on my face, and tell me that you love me. I'll sit on your face and tell you I love you, too. I love to hear you moralize, When I'm between your thighs; You blow me away! Sit on my face and let my lips embrace you. I'll sit on your face and let my love be truly. Life can be fine if we both sixty-nine, And we'll sit on our faces in all sorts of places and play, 'Till we're blown away!

My whole point is WHY DO I HAVE TO HAVE ANY SOFTWARE?? Other Players.. Plug it in.. Move files. iPod - Plug it in.. wait for iTunes (Or other application) to load, Update Library and Play lists, Transfer files. All I want to do is move files from my Hard drive to the Player and Delete other songs off the player. I dont need or want ANY software to do that. Not completely True. I have 1GB Flash based Player that is Small as a Shufle and has an Easily Replaceable Battery, It also has a Display, Works as Jump Drive, Requires NO Software to transfer files, Has a Radio, A Voice Recorder and is Cheaper than the Shuffle even. Sitll... NOT A SINGLE Valid Reason the iPOD is any better than other MP3 Players.. Kool-aid I tell you. Rev Jobs just keeps on passing it out and watching the line grow!!

You are correct. I dont like iTunes. I dont want to use it. I dont like the "Library" concept or dealing with Play lists. Put the songs I want to listen to on the MP3 player. Delete the ones I am sick of. They all just Files to me. I use Explorer to move files. Very simple. When I am moving songs to my MP3 Player, I am just Moving Files. I dont need and/or want some huge application to do this. My needs are simple.. Put song on MP3 player. Take other songs off MP3 player. Thats it. iTunes makes this a much more complicated process. Also.. You cant move songs/files from one computer to another with an iPod without special software. I dont think anyone could change my mind and convince me that I really NEED something like iTunes just to put a few songs on an MP3 Player. Like I said... If I have some songs on my MP3 Player and want to transfer them to my PC at work.. How can I do that?? 3rd party software?? Other special Hidden secrets? Why bother. Other MP3 Players.. Plug it in, Access the Drive and copy away. And STILL no-one has given a single reason the iPod is BETTER than other players. Just people trying to say that the iPod can sort of do what other MP3 players do if you have the right software and if you know which hoops to jump through. How about.... NO software needed and do what you want (Not what Apple thinks you should). That is why others are BETTER. Also how about a Replaceable Battery. Rechargeable Batteries will eventually Die and have to be replaced. Rev Jobs Keeps serving up the Kool-Aid.. The Masses keep on drinking it. Amazing.

Once you get to be my age.. You dont pitch as many tents as you used to. Its easier (and MUCH more Comfy) to buy a Van or RV or just get a Motel room.

[Cynic mode] A date is when two possibly sexually compatible people go somewhere together and pretend to be someone totally different than who really are hoping to impress the other party. Typically the Male will be hoping to find SEX and the Female will be hoping to find LOVE*. Although these roles can sometimes get Reversed (Some guys have all the Luck!!). That is a Date. *LOVE.. - an Illusion that creates another Illusion called Marriage which results in a Reality called Divorce!! (Who can name the source of that quote??) [/Cynic mode]

My point is why do I have to use ANY Music Management software. it is OVERKILL and a pain in the ass to maintain. I have a Folder.. 80+gb in it (Yes I have it organized) on my PC. On my MP3 Player I usually keep about 800 songs.. If want to Blow away 50 of them and put 30 different ones back... Pain in the Ass on my iPod. Easy on my other MP3 players because I dont have to deal with ANY software other than windows explorer. Just moving files around. Just Access the MP3 Player which shows up as a Drive, Delete the songs I dont want (or move them to another drive) directly on the MP3 Player. Drag and Drop the new songs I do want. Or even better, I can use other MP3 Players to move Files from one PC to another. Say I rip a few CD`s I just bought at home. I can copy those files to my MP3 Player, Then when I get to work, I can transfer those songs to my work PC. iPod??? Cant do it. Any other MP3 player.. Not a problem and I dont even need to install any 3rd party software on my work PC. Yes I realize that I can jump through Hoops and do these things or get even more 3rd party software. My point is all that isnt needed with other MP3 Players. I bought an iPod and feel stupid for doing because I paid more for a devise that does less. The other two players I bought, I have never had a problem with and can do whatever I want with. We all have different opinions, and to each their own but I try to warn everyone I can about iPods because I feel that I made a Big mistake buying one. I am much happier with my Generic $99 Ebay specials that do much more and are easier to use than my $300 iPod.

You are saying I can go to a Computer that doent have iTunes installed, Plug in my iPod Mini and Transfer songs from that PC to the iPod and I copy songs on from that iPod to that PC?? Wow!! You must have the super special model that I didnt get. I can easily do this with my other (Much less expensive) MP3 players. And so I have to Buy a special Kit if I ever want to change the Battery or do what most people do and either send back to the factory or just throw it away and buy another one (Which is why they designed it that way)?? Uhhh... Any other one on the market. Pick one. They all show you a list of songs. Pick the one you want to hear or just put it on random and hit play. If you need a Manual for that, an over simplified and very limited iPod isnt going to help you much anyway. My Opinion: The iPod is an over priced and very limited devise that is designed to have a relatively short life. Other MP3 Players are superior in design, functionality and performance and cost less. But.. Opinions and Assholes and all that good stuff. I wish someone could convince me I wasnt an Idiot for buying an iPod Mini when they first came out. So far it hasnt happened.

So you can Drag and Drop to your Ipod without any Apple software installed? You can copy Files from your iPod to your PC without 3rd Party Software?? What happens when you rechargeable Battery no longer takes a Charge on your iPod? What is it that the iPod has that the others don’t have that makes it worth more? So far all I have seen is additional Negatives and not a single additional positive. If you are going to defend something.. How about making a Point? m`kay

Like I said.. Jump through Hoops. I have 2 other MP3 Players now. Plug them in, They show as a Drive. Do what you want. MUCH easier.

But it is your ONLY choice. It is the Typical Apple "We will think for you" attitude. I dont necessarily disagree but why have to use any Music Management software?? I have 1000`s of MP3 files in a Folder on my Hard drive, Why not just let me drag and drop the ones I want onto the MP3 Player? Why cant I Plug in my Ipod and look at what songs are on it and delete the ones I dont want? Why have to deal iTunes at all? As for the person that suggested the Shuffle??? Talk about a BAD Joke. For less money you buy a generic MP3 Player that is the same size, Cost less, Holds More, Has a Display, Allows you CHOOSE (something that Apple hates) your songs, Built-in voice recorder, built in FM receiver, allows you to record from the Radio, Plays WMA Format and works with any software. I guess PT Barnum was Correct.. There really is one born ever minute. I cant think of a single advantage an iPod has over other MP3 Players other than it was marketed better.
