Garmin, educate your vendors

I've helped two people in the last year to update the firmware on their Garmin units.  It is a fairly simple procedure, and it is FREE.  But in both cases that is not what the stores where the bought the units told them.  Both stores, different ones, tried to sell them new map software, which would not help to fix the issues they were experiencing, but on which the store would make a big profit.

Surely these sales people should have the training and INTEGRITY to help Garmin's clients, and if not, why are they still agents? 

Deepest Fear

 

"Our deepest fear is not that we areinadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is ourlight, not our darkness, that frightens us most. We ask ourselves, 'Who am I tobe brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and famous?' Actually, who are you not to be?You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There isnothing enlightened about shrinking so that people won't feel insecure aroundyou. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's notjust in some of us; it's in all of us. And when we let our own light shine, weunconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberatedfrom our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

Paul vs Heather

It's a very sad worldwe live in when Sir Paul McCartney and his wife are facing divorce and all anyone seems to want to do is make jokes  about her false leg. Personally, I think it'sprosthetics.

News reports have confirmed that Paul McCartney has separated from  his wife Heather Mills-McCartney. Mrs Mills-McCartney is said tobe  distraught over the split. "He has been my crutch for so long"!She  said in an earlier briefing, "I have no idea why this has happened,  I'm reallystumped"                                                       
                                                                           
 "She's running around in circles", according to a closefriend,  "she will need all the support she can get. It's not likeits  easy to walk out on a relationship likethis"
                                                                           
After his break up with Heather, Paul was asked if he would ever consider going down on one knee again. Paul said he would prefer it  ifwe  called  herHeather.                                                              
                                                                           
It is not known whether a pre-nuptial agreement was signed prior tothe  marriage. Paul McCartney is one of the richest men in the world, andif  an agreement has been signed it is believed that she won't have a legto  standon.                                                                                                                       
Rumours abound over the split which have suggested that infidelitymay  have been the cause. "She's terrible" a source stated,"always trying to  get her legover".                                                        
                                                                           
Another source has suggested that her battle with alcoholism wasthe  cause. "Macca couldn't handle it anymore" a friend said,"he would get  home at night and find her legless"                                       
                                                                           
Many have attributed this to a problem which started with thepresent  that Paul bought her prior to the wedding. He gave her a newprosthetic  leg for Christmas but that was just a stocking-filler.                    
                                                                           
A miner in Africa has an accident andloses a leg. He says to his mate  "I'm f—ed, who will want a one legged gold digger?" His matesays "try  PaulMcCartney"                                                           
                                                                           
Finally a poem by Sir PaulMcCartney:                                    
                                                                           
I lay upon a grassybank                                                  
My hands were all aquiver                                                
I slowly removed her suspender belt and her leg fell in theriver         
                                                                           
And                                                                       
                                                                           
She Stood on the bridge atMidnight                                       
Her lips were all aquiver                                                
She gave a cough, her leg felloff                                        
And floated down theriver.                                               
                                                                           
These jokes are funny but lets spare a thought for Paul please. Nowshe  has left him, he's going to struggle to find another woman who can fill her shoe.

Sounds quite kinky

I received the following sentence in a document from a vendor, quite a well known company as well.  

"The … system poles the staging area to see ifany changes are received"

Moral of the story, get someone else to proofread your documents before sending them to your client, Word's spell-check does not pick this up. 

Don’t ask grandma silly questions

Lawyers should never ask grandma a question if they aren't prepared for the answer. In  a trial, a small-town prosecuting attorney called hisfirst witness, an elderly grandmother to the stand.

Heapproached her and  asked; "Mrs. Jones, do you know  me?"

She responded, "Why, yes, I do know you, Mr. Williams. I've known you since you were a young boy, and frankly, you're a big disappointment to me.  You lie, cheat on yourwife, manipulate people and talk  about them behind their backs. You thinkyou're a big shot when you  haven't the brains to realize you never willamount to anything more  than a two-bit paper pusher.  Yes, I knowyou."

The  lawyer was stunned! Not knowing what else to do, he pointed across the room and asked, "Mrs.. Jones, do you know the defense attorney?"
She again replied, "Why, yes, I do. I've known Mr.  Bradley since hewas a youngster. He's lazy, bigoted, and has a  drinking problem. He can'tbuild a normal relationship with anyone  and his law practice is one ofthe worst in the state. Not to  mention he cheated on his wife with threedifferent women.  One of them wasyour wife. Yes I know him."

The defense attorney  almost died.

The judge asked both lawyers to approach the  bench and in a quietvoice  said:  "If  eitherof you f#ckers asks her if she knows me, I'll send you to the  electricchair."
