Let's Say Thanks




Let's Say Thanks is a wonderful lil website that allows us in the US to send a card to one of our many troops out there, standing up and helping preserve our freedom.  They will send a free, printed postcard of your choice to show your support & appreciation for all they do. 

It's a small thing but it means so much to those guys to receive something from a stranger, saying 'thank you' and getting a little recognition.  They have one of the hardest jobs in the world, they do without their families, they do without a whole lot of necessities in fact.  It is because they are willing to stand for our country that we remain free! 

It doesn't cost you anything - it's FREE.  You don't have to support the war or the president - but you *should* support our troops.  If you aren't willing to support those who will fight for your freedoms, feel free to stand in front of them!!

If we all send just one card, it would be a huge boost for so many soliders!  You can spare a minute of your time, right?  Go here:  Let's Say Thanks!

Passive-Aggressive Notes



This site is one of our favorites!  It's been around for awhile now but if you have not visited, you are in for a treat.  You know all those little posted signs around the office?  Like "Your Mom doesn't work here, please wash your own dishes!" and the many variations of 'please be neat & wipe the seat' or 'thanks for stealing my kids science project in the fridge!'  Passive-Aggressive Notes has them all!  And so very many you have never seen before, as well! 

Be sure to check out the 'Greatest Hits' section (on the right) if you've not been there before.  Some of these you may steal for yourself, LOL

And yeah, you're welcome!

Not Always Right - Funny & Stupid Customer Quotes



Not Always Right is a collection of amusing, confusing and sometimes downright obnoxious experiences from those who serve in retail, service or other public-interaction positions.  Although the quote 'the customer is always right' is often slung about by irate purchasers, it is in fact, not correct.  The customer is often disgustingly, enormously wrong.  Not Always Right gives hundreds of glaring examples of what a cashier at Wally-World gets served up everyday.  Geeks, be sure to check the tech support stories for glorious tales of dumb-ass user errors!
 
Not Always Right is great revenge for all you retail slaves!  The rest of you will find it pretty snicker-worthy too.

Etiquette Hell



Do you remember your Mother badgering you to 'mind your manners'!?  Etiquette Hell is a gloriously snooty site that catalogs all the disgusting results of most of those lessons going unheeded (poor Mom).  Special categories abound at Etiquette Hell (because we're all just heathens!) and you can expect hours and hours of entertainment or horror - depending on which side of the fence you are on.  Bridezillas and their Mothers are here, as well as all the embarrassing branches of any family you could think of.  Rude coworkers, merchants from retail hell, funeral faux-pas, dating disasters and road rage are all included at EH.


Do share Etiquette Hell with your Mama and let her bask in her righteousness!  It'll keep her busy, while you are off doing God knows what with God knows whom, just like she always feared!

Beware should you write the mistress of this site.  She will expect proper grammar!

FML: The Guts to Spill the Beans

“Oh, you hate your job? Why didn't you say so? There's a support group for that. It's called EVERYBODY, and they meet at the bar.” - Drew Carey


Fmylife.com is a weird and wonderful addition to the web.  They say so themselves.  Fortunately for them, this happens to be true.  Using stories (submitted by readers - thats YOU) that all begin with 'Today' and end with 'FML'.  If you don't know what FML stands for already, then this site is not for you.  There are no glittery graphics, no sparkly do-dads for your entertainment... sorry.  They don't even have a shiny logo. If you can read and have just a tiny smidget of wit though, you will love this site, I promise.

FML offers tops & flops lists too, especially entertaining reading if you haven't been there before and strangely comforting for those of us looking to share the various stories.  You also get the thrill of deciding if the story teller deserved his fate and confirm that yes, his life is total shit.

If nothing else, you should visit FML cause almost everyone else already has.  A bit out of the loop, are you?
