The Middle Class In America

I just have to link this article to my website to remind me where I'm at in the middle class of America. The government keeps creating new laws and requirements for companies to go "green" and "healthy foods" to make some special interests groups rich so the consumers pay the higher prices for everything while having hard time to find jobs or find lower paying jobs. My company has salaries frozen for 3 years now and I'm considered lucky and good to still have a job. Until we find people who actually care about America to run it, America will go down the drain. "Yes we can" drive the country to the ground if we just let the government dictate what we should have and shouldn't have due to a certain special interests groups. Who give a "shite" about solar panels to save a few bucks on energy while real people have no roofs over their heads and not too skinny people have to pay more for their tacos. Many roads have potholes big enough to ruins cars, unsafe to drive exist for many years. Kids have parents working so much that don't have time to be with them in...

Tesla Electric Cars Company

All companies that have a niche in green energy would be supported by investors, Tesla (TSLA) is nothing different, it went out on IPO not too long ago, stock went up and down below the initial price. Since it does have guaranteed money ($500M) from the tax payers c/o Mr. President Obama guarantees like Solyndra (solar), it may be supported greatly. But the CEO cashed out $24M on the IPO date? Is this a hype or a real thing? Is $19/share today is a great deal. I found this article on the internet and it made me think twice about buying the stock, but I have never made any money in stocks, so it's OK for me to think more than twice... smile So if anyone who can opens a "Green theme" company building anything would get Tax Payer money c/o Mr. President? Do all rich democrats money are invested heavily in all these companies before Mr. Obama took office? Is there a theme here? What about "No Special Interests"? Did anyone really check if these "Green theme" companies are not really special interests groups?

If Golf Is Totally Mental Then Tiger Woo Is Out...

I only watch golf tournaments Tiger Woods plays, I haven't watch any until the last 2 that he played and he both lost. I don't think he should play any more, he has unfinished business, his marriage, and golf is totally mental (beside fitness of course), he has no chance of winning.

1. If he can win, he will look bad because people think he has no remorse about his guilt of his affairs.

2. He would feel so bad of losing because he's greedy, ambitious and he wants to win because he has nothing else in life, no family, no love besides money.

3. In order for Tiger to ever think of winning again, he must settles his marriage business, either make a clean divorce or beg his wife to come back and be with him every time he plays. That may not ever be the case. Anyhow, his game is doomed until then.

If he keep playing so badly, no ones will watch him any more and he will be like OJ, forgotten with a bad mark forever. He must make a decision quickly, time will not heal what he did, only his actions will.

I won't be watching Tiger Woods play anymore,...

2004 Car Scam...

Talk about being naive and totally greedy, it's me, while I was looking for an A8 in 2004. Most of nice 98 A8 was about $15k, there's this 2000 from ms. Molda Gunter for $14k and free-shipping. Again, I woke up after a while, here are all the emails between me and a nice lady (not from Pasadena) from Internet.

Auto Mechanical Warranty Regardless Of The Mileages?

I had received many phone calls about warranty for my old cars with over 90k miles for a few thousands bucks which would includes everything and without inspecting the cars. Why? Because according to their records, my cars had been well maintained from dealer's records (which dealers records). Anyhow, there are someone that I know did pay $2k for his 99 Audi A8 with 90k miles. Why would any insurance company would take $2k, guarantee the car for another 100k miles on top of the existing 90k miles, especially Audi A8 which would cost $1k for each hick up. And the stupidest part is that they don't even need to see the car. Well, a year later at about a little over 100k miles, the A8 needs the transmission. He took the car to the dealer with the insurance information in hands, hoping that they would pay 4k-6k for the work. Guess what, "too good to be true" again, the dealer kept the car for a week, trying to contact the insurance company, and the insurance company was out of business, the owner had to pay for diagnostics at the dealer and out of the car for 1 week.

Again, sometimes...

Scam on the internet?

In the tough time like this time, people are desperate to make a living, and the desperates sometimes overlook the thing that's "too good to be true" like the one I almost got into. Upto the credit card info, I woke up, searched the internet and found a blog that talked about this internet money scheme.

The little ads

Yes it's in my area

Then the big news 6

a real mom

Well, for $2.97, I would try. And the blog did have many people making money too... Amazing.

comments

I did go all the way, filled out everything until the credit card information. I didn't have any with me. Then I searched the internet to see what people say about this thing.

the main page

final

Someone had some information about this type of business

I am glad that I searched the internet for the info before I sign up for this free-trial. It may be good, but if someone can say something about it, it may not be so good. I had to write this one for my friends and families to watch out for this types of businesses. I almost did, so many others too, I'm sure... When I left the website, it didn't even want me to go.

Please don't go

If something is too good to be true,...

The Best Email Of 2007

I love the Internet but they do come with chain letters, even from my friends & family. Sometimes I got some thing that actually nice and meaningful. I just got one from my old school buddy today. It's so nice that I had to put it up, to remind me to be grateful for what I have.

Tiger Woods & more affairs?

What's wrong with this guy? It's done, come out and list all the affairs publicly once and for all. It's over, why wait for ugly stuff slowly surfacing? There is nothing to work out, don't lie one after another. Married with no love, no respects for one another, there's nothing good to salvage. Let it go, have a nice and peaceful divorce, ruining 2 innocent little babies lives already. The parents screwed up, they deserved each others, but the kids, they didn't ask to be born. Bad Karma is created. He just better be a good father if he's still nice. Go and play with all these fame & money leeches. His level can only attract these girls. Education is important and he had none, it's not his fault, it's the family. Tiger Woods face is not a mean and ugly face, just lack of education and guidance. He will see and do what needs to be done correctly for his life and kids if he's still lucky. What a life!

The famous money but extremely poor Tiger Woods

It's Weds evening, my wife has to work late, we went out to eat with the kids. Normally, we go to Black Angus to have their prime rib specials with the mud pies which the kids love, we went to elephant bar near home instead. Watching the kids munching, enjoying their fish bate "calamari" and my wife dipping her french dip sandwich in the salty brown sauce for her simple dinner makes my heart sings. My wife never had any opinions about anything, but tonight she's started "what's up with 'you guys', beautiful wife and kids and still running around? ". I knew right then she's talking about Tiger Woods car accident and the affairs surfaced after that.

Many years ago, when Tiger Woods announced to get married to a white European model, I told my wife then, he's going to be another OJ . People get married for any reasons but true love.

I told my wife I actually felt sorry for the guy because he may be rich and famous, but he must not have a life. What? He's successful, he's rich, he got a beautiful wife, what are you talking about? NO life?

The life starts when you're born, growing...

Chase Amazon with their late fees

Wow. I got a late charge of $43. on a $351 purchase with Amazon and 2 weeks late. I normally paid everything online and use paperless delivery system. I bought this netbook from Amazon on Sept29, didn't get all deliveries until Oct 15th. I forgot totally about this purchase since I always pay online purchase the next day , but since I wasn't sure if I'm going to keep the netbook, I waited. Anyhow, I called Amazon Chase and asked for forgiveness, and the operator answer was "no way in hell" practically. I know all these banks are trying to get the money back from bad loans and stuff, and they try to stick it to good people who sometimes make mistake like me. Anyhow, I canceled the Chase credit card account, if you say "no way in hell" with me, then I'll never have to deal with you ever again. Every time we go to a website to buy something, they always offer a convenient credit card associated with the site. Don't apply, just use your own credit card, the one that knows you. They may not say "no way in hell" with you when you asked for forgiveness because they still want your business smile  Alright, free shipping @ Amazon cost me...

In Circuit Test

In Circuit Test (ICT) programming is my profession. It's designed to catch electronic board manufacturing defects. It's been out for over 20 years and it's considered to be dinosaur in testing. We had our system in 2000, and it's been so reliable and produced 95% yields at our manufacturing CEMs. The product quality is only as good as its maker and it's true. There are many programmers out there for this systems, we can do a lot with this system, if one just want basic testing, then the yield will be low. If we use all the features and customize our tests, then the coverage will be high and the result will be rewarding. What I do for my company is to write customized functional tests, customized fixtures, which eliminates costly, slow board bench tests and produce high yields at box level. We used ICT to detect design flaws before it goes to production to prevent costly RMAs and reworks. Each board test should only take maximum of 2 minutes with full functional tests and ready for box build. This way we ensure the throughput and the end of a quarter when many boards built at the last minutes. The...

Intro

People always say live every day as your last day on earth, I don't know if I should go out every day  and live crazily or just plain "what the hay" life. I think what they meant is to live passionately every day.  I've been living very passionatly all my life.  I'm considered to be lucky and I'm very grateful. It's so nice to be alive and well. Since ltooz is about fixing & and improving STUFF. This is Stuff by George Carlin, one of my favorite comedians.

Kept My The Day Time Job

In 2002, living in one of a 9x9 cell condo in Sunnyvale for $700.00/month, I was helping the smart landlord to pay his mortgage while waiting for something to happen... Didn't know what... But working and dating and having a single life did let me to do anything I wanted... Singing... Well, I didn't quit my job, that's for sure, but after many years, now listening to them, it does bring memories even back to the younger years. Like they said, music imprints a time in your memory. I do like listening to all type of music. Thanks to Vanbasco and tons of kar midi on the net, with my computer and a microphone, I could create so many songs. Amazing what technology can do for single people to be stuff. All these songs were recorded in 2002-2003 with l2's voice. Have a laugh, just listen or skip... smile Remember unless you try, you'll never know what the outcome would be, and until then your life is flying by very quickly. I'm very happy that I did all these songs, because if I didn't I'd have nothing to put up here and time did fly by... smile I always believe in...
