    Sep 9 2012: First I would like to have "mental peace" defined. If you are "metallly distrubed" .... that ain't good.

    I am concerned about where we are going with all of this finger pointing and the blame game.

    I have a heck of a headache .... darn beer ... yep jumped right into your hand a held a gun on you yelling drink me ... drink me. She said I was loud, rude, crude, had the hands of an octypus, and the manners and understand of a cave man ... she wans't my type not my fault. So I sold the company secrets ... if they paid me what I am worth I might not have done it. Their fault.

    Can a cellphone, TV, or internet dominate your life ... not without your permission. Yep thats right you did it not the inanimate object. We hear all of this crap at home, work, on the news, in the political debates .... it is everywhere. Not my fault. That is a load of crap. I do not care where the problem came from. You are in the office now and it is YOUR problem to solve ... so knock off the whining and get to work. I will judge you by the progress you make in my decision of if to vote for you again. Ain't looking good so far.

    I have a basic cellphone that my wife calls me on to say she also needs salt when I am at the store. I have a TV and a computer that have a ON / OFF switch. If I watch to much TV or use the computer to much I DID IT.

    If you think you are a slave to these devices do not come whining to me .... You will not like the answer.

    Everything in moderation.

    All the best. Bob
