724- TAO TAO TANO DIALOGUE'S

HERE IS THE LATEST DIALOGUE I'VE HAD WITH TAO TAO TANO

It is in its entirety and unedited...

O.K. Mr. Doutrich,
In 2004 the Government put a Temporary Restraining order against CUC, when CUC came knoking at there door for payments roughly 10 million at the time. The person who filed TRO was non other than Fermin Atalig a corrupted rat who stole from MPLA and was never proscecuted in the amount of $20, 000.00 on government Credit Card and is now roaming the islands scott free. Anyways our Judicial branch granted his TRO gag order which at that time reached 19 million of uncollected water and sewer bills aside from the governments 6 million a month billing excluding fuel purchases of roughly 5-6 million each month. CUC and the government worked out a payment plan for 3 yrs. for the uncollected delinquent billing. The problem was at the same time CUC was out 19 million, and the government was still falling behind on current billings by the millions. CUC started falling apart since then and the BB administration at time declared a state of emergency because they couldn't pay any of the amounts promised and they were at the same time delinquent on current billing. So the administration created a cover up called SURCHARGE in order for the government to catch up with payments. We all use to pay 11 cents per kilowatt but with their cover-ups we ended with additional 3.5 cents per kilowatt. Meaning we the consumers for 3 yrs. were paying for thier corrupted cover-ups and the Government was warned about this issue by CUC legal counsels. On top of all this cover-ups CUC then was also being runned and managed by corrupted Board members who mismanged the entire agency. They had excessive highly paid consultants, employees, executives, Off -island trips, self-interest contract deals, employees weren't paying their utilities, excessive spending on equipments not needed, RFP's in the millions without results and so forth. This is just a short story on what happen and why we faught this agency and the government is simple THEY ALL DECEIVED the Consumers and the Taxpayes. The history is longer but I would need to sit down with you so that you can see for yourself what went wrong. During our battle up at the legislature we found that none of the elected leaders even bothered conducting or calling for an oversight hearing on CUC. If fact part of our proposal was that the commercial establishments were to pay 18.6 per kilowatt flat rate no additional charges but the legislature shot it down for the reason that business establishments/ owners are also residential consumers and they can't have both ways. Mr. Dutrich I hope that I have shed some light in the matter but if you do have questions please feel free to drop in and I'll be happy to assist you.

Thanks,

TAOTAO TANO's...

OK Tao Tao Tano.. So how does lowering the power rates below the operating costs of CUC fix anything? You have told me the the government is mostly at fault and I totally agree, we are on the same page with that. I have lived here 14 years so I know the history of all the problems. I want to help you with this as you suggested I help solve the problem. I really appreciate you responding in a intelligent and professional way, you in return will get the same respect. Let me say this, then I'll move forward. A business, any business cannot operate at a deficit, which in essence what is happening now at CUC. This is in part because of your group's actions and the cause of my ire when my business is closed and I'm sweating in the dark. That being said, lets now move forward.. The only solution to the problems are in steps. First is to remove it from government and political interference. Second, immediately following that a competent and capable private operator must be put in place. Now this poses a problem as the gov. is still interfering in the RFP or the bidding process. Somehow we must get around that, maybe by federal assistance, the only ones that can take responsibility in this case.Third, an accounting of all numbers must take place, costs and expenses verses charges and rates. Income verses outgo. All kilowatts cost the same to produce so the rates should be the same across the board at all times for all users. 1 Kw costs X to produce, 1 Kw should cost X+ to use, this is simple economics. We are now getting into the operations that the new operator will take control of so we needn't go farther. If your group wants to move in this direction then you will get unlimited support from all business groups and economists who understand how this works. This is not the legislature! So to put the shoe on the other foot. If you need me to help you, I am available. Thank you for your time,

GLEN DOUTRICH

yes Mr. Doutrich, We need everyone's help and I am forwarding you a copy of our proposal to the Senate President to start with. Here is another major dilemma with the fitial administration, I believe that regardless of who the governor is he should have the full support of both houses when it comes to the well being of the peope and our island as whole. In this current stage he does not have any of this and I agree with the Privatization option for I can't see any options why CUC should a government entity or a public utility. We have a lot self-interest politicians up there and the thing about is I am not afraid of any them. I've made that clear to each and one of them that we the people put them in office, it should be us the people to take them out. Years of sitting around doing nothing wasting taxpayers money is wrong Mr. Doutrich. I did my best inviting all business entities on our Taotao Tano gatherings to discuss our movement on the high rates but none had showed up. As you can see in our proposal we did include the commercial business establishments. I did forward this copies to Harry hoping at least he could pass it on but I guess he didn't. Public Law 15-94 is available at our blogspot. Visit: taotaotanocnmi3.blogspot.com and scroll to the bottom section. Thank you and hope we can start fresh from here. Lets help each other.

722- I INSIST ON AN ANSWER

I WANT AN ANSWER AS TO HOW TAO TAO TANO IS GOING TO REPAIR THE DAMAGE THEY CAUSED BY GETTING THE CUC POWER RATES LOWERED

Tao Tao Tano through their push to sway greedy vote grubbing legislators to foolishly reduce the power rates are now being ask what they are going to do about the rolling blackouts and power shortages they created. To date all the replies I received were racist, incoherent and evasive. You can read them HERE # 717. Not a straight answer, one! So I ask this simple question again..
What are you going to do about the power problems you have created?.... My best guess is, You don't have one!
This group has their president running for a seat in the house, if this is any way an example as to how he will manage our business when elected you people in precinct five (5) better wake up. Have you ask this candidate any tough questions, or ask him how he would solve this problem, and other problems facing the people today? What kind of answers did you get, the same crap as I got?
So Tao Tao Tano I give you another chance to give an educated answer to my simple question stated above.. Clue.. The first step to solving a problem is to first admit it was a mistake! The ball is now in your court, time to step up and fix your mistakes.

719- TEXAS CHILI

A REAL TEXAS CHILI COOK-OFF, JUST ADD SOME HOT PEPPERS

This is one of the funniest accounts of a chili cook-off contest that I've ever read. It brings tears to the eyes and a twinge of gas to the ass, just reading this one.
TEXAS CHILI
Frank, who was visiting Texas from the East Coast:
Frank: "Recently, I was honored to be selected as a judge at a chili cook-off. The original person called in sick at the last moment and I happened to be standing there at the judge's table asking directions to the Budweiser truck, when the call came in. I was assured by the other two judges (native Texans) that the chili wouldn't be all that spicy and, besides, they told me I could have free beer during the tasting, So I accepted.
Here are the scorecards from the event:
Chili # 1- Mike's Maniac Mobster Monster Chili
Judge # 1 A little too heavy on the tomato. Amusing kick.
Judge # 2 Nice, smooth tomato flavor. Very mild
Judge # 3 (Frank) Holy shit, what the hell is this stuff? You could remove dried paint from your driveway. Took me two beers to put the flames out. I hope that's the worst one. Texans are crazy.
Chili # 2- Arthur's Afterburner Chili
Judge # 1 - Smoky, with a hint of pork. Slight jalapeno tang.
Judge # 2 -Exciting BBQ flavor, seriously needs more peppers.

Judge # 3 - Keep this out of the reach of children. I'm not sure what I'm supposed to taste besides pain. I had to wave off two people who wanted to give me the Heimlich maneuver. They had to rush in more beer when they saw the look on my face.
Chili # 3- Fred's Famous Burn Down the Barn Chili
Judge # 1 -- Excellent firehouse chili. Great kick. Add more beans.
Judge # 2 -- A beanless chili, a bit salty, good use of peppers.
Judge # 3 -- Call the EPA. I've located a uranium spill. My nose feels like I have been snorting Drano. Everyone knows the routine by now. Get me more beer before I ignite. Barmaid pounded me on the back, now my backbone is in the front part of my chest. I'm getting shit-faced from all of the beer.
Chili # 4- Bubba's Black Magic
Judge # 1 -- Black bean chili with almost no spice. Disappointing.
Judge # 2 -- Hint of lime in the black beans. Good side dish for fish or other mild foods, not much of a chili.
Judge # 3 -- I felt something scraping across my tongue, but was unable to taste it. Is it possible to burn out taste buds? Sally, the barmaid, was standing behind me with fresh refills. That 300-lb. bitch is starting to look HOT - just like this nuclear waste I'm eating. Is chili an aphrodisiac?
Chili # 5- Linda's Legal Lip Remover
Judge # 1 -- Meaty, strong chili. Cayenne peppers freshly ground, adding considerable kick. Very impressive.
Judge # 2 -- Chili using shredded beef, could use more tomato. Must admit the cayenne peppers make a strong statement.
Judge # 3 -- My ears are ringing, sweat is pouring off my forehead and I can no longer focus my eyes. I farted and four people behind me needed the paramedics. The contestant seemed offended when I told her that her chili had given me brain damage. Sally saved my tongue from bleeding by pouring beer directly on it from the pitcher. I wonder if I'm burning my lips off. It really pisses me off that the other judges asked me to stop screaming. Screw those rednecks.
Chili # 6- Vera's Very Vegetarian Variety
Judge # 1 -- Thin yet bold vegetarian variety chili. Good balance of spices and peppers.
Judge # 2 -- The best yet. Aggressive use of peppers, onions, and garlic. Superb.
Judge # 3 -- My intestines are now a straight pipe filled with gaseous, sulfuric flames. I shit myself when I farted and I'm worried it will eat through the chair. No one seems inclined to stand behind me except that slut Sally. She must be kinkier than I thought. Can't feel my lips anymore. I need to wipe my ass with a snow cone.
Chili # 7- Susan's Screaming Sensation Chili
Judge # 1 -- A mediocre chili, too much reliance on dried peppers.
Judge # 2 -- Ho hum, tastes as if the chef literally threw in a can of chili peppers at the last moment. I should take note that I am worried about Judge #3. He appears to be in a bit of distress as he is cursing uncontrollably.
Judge # 3 -- You could put a grenade in my mouth, pull the pin, and I wouldn't feel a thing. I've lost sight in one eye, and the world sounds like it is made of rushing water. My shirt is covered with chili which slid unnoticed out of my mouth. My pants are full of lava-like shit to match my shirt. At least during the autopsy, they'll know what killed me. I've decided to stop breathing, it's too painful. Screw it, I'm not getting any oxygen anyway. If I need air, I'll just suck it in through the 4-inch hole in my stomach.
Chili #8- Tommy's Toe-Nail Curling Chili
Judge # 1 -- The perfect ending, this is a nice blend chili. Not too bold but spicy enough to declare its existence.
Judge # 2 -- This final entry is a good, balance chili. Neither mild nor hot.

Sorry to see that most of it was lost when Judge # 3 passed out, fell over and pulled the entire pot of chili down on top of himself. Not sure if he's going to make it. Poor dude, wonder how he'd have reacted to really hot chili.
Are you ready for some chili, some really hot chili, a little chili here a little chili there, chili chili everywhere.. Poor Frank.

718- BEE PEE HUMOR

THERE HAS TO BE A BREAK IN THE EVERY DAY ROUTINE OF LIFE, WITH A SPLASH OF STUPID HUMOR

Here is that break. So listen up and listen up good, stop wishin' for bad luck and knockin' on wood.

How do you know when you're staying in a Kentucky hotel?

When you call the front desk and say

"I've got a leak in my sink," and the person at the desk says, "Go ahead."

An Arkansas State trooper pulls over a pickup truck on I-40 and says to the driver, "Got any ID? The driver says, "'Bout what?"

Did you hear about the $3,000,000 Tennessee State Lottery? The winner gets $3 a year for a million years.

A new law was recently passed in North Carolina so that when a couple gets divorced, they're still brother and sister.

What does a divorce in Alabama, a tornado in Kansas and a hurricane in Florida have in common? No matter what, somebody's fixin' to lose a trailer.

Ida Mae passed away and Bubba called 911. The 911-operator told Bubba that she would send someone out right away. "Where do you live?" asked the operator. Bubba replied, "At the end of Eucalyptus Drive." The operator asked, "Can you spell that for me?" After a long pause, Bubba said, "How 'bout I drag her over to Oak Street and you pick her up there?"

The Traveler:

I left Montreal heading toward Quebec city, when I decided to stop at a comfort station. The first stall was occupied, so I went into the second one. I was no sooner seated than I heard a voice from the next stall: "Hi, how are you doing?" Well, I am not the type to chat with strangers in highway comfort stations, and I really don't know quite what possessed me, but anyway, I answered, a little embarrassed: "Not bad." And the stranger said: "And, what are you up to?" Talk about your dumb questions! I was really beginning to think this was too weird! So I said: "Well, just like you I'm driving east." Then, I heard the stranger, all upset, say, "Look, I'll call you back, there's some idiot in the next stall answering all the questions I am asking you."

There you have it. That was your joke break... Don't you just love the bee pee pic?

717- A DIALOGUE WITH TAO TAO TANO

HERE IS A UNEDITED DIALOGUE WITH THE TAO TAO TANO GROUP

I will refer you to my post # 713 where I ask Tao Tao Tano to stop helping in the manner they presently are. (You can read it in its entirety and all the comments received, below.)

Here is the dialogue and responses I received. I'm glad this came to light before the election as the president of this 'dodge the issue and give racist answers,' organization is looking to be elected this term. If this is any semblance of his problem solving ability and his way of answering tough questions then its best it is made known now before you vote this Saturday.
I had some respect for this group before this, seeing them try to make things better, speak for the common people, try to right a lopsided government, yes I liked their efforts. The problem arose when I questioned as to how will they address the power problem that they created. Here is the very disappointing results..
TAOTAO TANO CNMI said...
Mr. GleND558,
We are sorry you feel that way but we sat far too long while you type of people enjoy the luxury at our expense the common people. We will ensure the government does its job. So quit whinning and help out! Thank you for sharing your concern.
TAOTAO TANO'S FIRST! our logo sure looks good on your site.
Enjoy
glend558 said... This is no way close to what I feel, or that I'm living in luxury at your expense. Just what are you refering to with this racist remark "you type of people"? You don't even know me but you assume if I'm not kissing your ass I must be the "other kind." Is this the basis and mentality for your answer, to find fault with me being different?

This is about you causing the power outages by demanding unrealistic measures of the legislature. Thats what this is about. My power is going off because of your doings and I want an explanation as to what you will do about it. I will not accept a brush off or bullshit. Solid answers. What should I tell my partner I refered to in the post? Don't try to slide out of your problem, face it and reply with a real meaning, a real answer! You can't ignore the fact you messed up and I'm paying for it at my expense! You are now living at my expense too! Face what is real like real people and do not consider all of us to be ignorant! Answer questions with facts, not apologies and insinuations! Face me with facts! Not racism and bullshit!
TAOTAO TANO CNMI said... And welcome to the Island style. Get use to it! Learn how to conserve. Use candles the chinese are well known to supply such items and for your computer Megabyte has a sale on back up batteries for $80.00 bucks. go get em. Power outages had been long ongoing on the Island whether the rates are dropped or increased. It's a disease. Visit our TAOTAO TANO'S BLOGSPOT and click on CUC links maybe you can get some of your questions answered. (http://taotaotanocnmi.blogspot.com/)
TAOTAO TANO CNMI said... If you think you are helping people, thanks a lot again, but please stop it, we don't need any more of your kind of help. Stop it now... You are the cause of the darkness... The reasons this place is sinking in the abyss... No brains... No Ideas that work... and No Future... Refer to above... let's not go to racist issues, what do you think you just mention earlier? "NO BRAINS"? see this is the problem with you people, when ever you get a real answer you run and hide behind the color of your skin. I suggest you go play golf when the power goes out and take your partner with you, by the time you get back roughly 2 hrs. power will be restored. YOU JUST DON'T GET IT....
glend558 said... So if you want to slide around the issue so be it. If your answer to the power problem is accept it and buy candles and batteries I surely pity you and all the rest of this place. The fact is you can't be agressive in problem solving or doing something about the problems you have created yourselves. These are answers you can give other people but not me I will not accept a bullshit answer. State Facts! Why do you keep making off the wall remarks about golf, why can't you address the issue? It's simple. What are you going to do about the power problem you have created? If that is to long I can break it down into two parts. Like, you created a problem. How will you fix it?
glend558 said... ‘Prejudice can save lots of time, because you can form an opinion without any facts.’ ‘Talk sense to a fool and he calls you foolish.’
You can take this anyway you want to I'm only laying it out in the open... Now my question is for you..Should I send this to the newspaper editors??

716- THE FOLLOW UP TO POST # 715

THE CONTINUING SAGA OF THE RESIDENT EMPLOYEE.

Post # 715 was only a copied news story but is the source or basis for this follow up. I didn't make up the story and there are others like it, some slightly different, some maybe quite different but nevertheless all narrow down into the problem faced in this one example case.
I received the following comment to the previous story , it is here in part...
In my extensive experience with resident workers.. if they are getting a decent wage for the work they're asked to do, and they're either qualified for the job or are properly trained, they have in every instance proved excellent employees.
The reply: A lot of employers have not had the same extensive experience with resident workers as you have, in fact most have had a far less satisfactory experience then you. Hence the results are many accounts the same as related in the previous post. This is not a one sided problem to be all put on the employers. There must be a realization of the truths and these truths must be faced, borough out into the light and addressed. There can no longer be a certain ignoring of and pussy footing around the issues. Times are at push and shove at this point and things are getting tough. The reason I posted this story was to get to some of these unspoken and unaddressed problems. These problems being the very ones mentioned by the news story. I did not make this up, I only put it in your face, the problem isn't in who's story it is or who's telling it, but the facts in the story content. To try to narrow down what the content of the story is I'll put it this way.
Summary: Employers are willing to hire resident workers... Resident workers when hired do not pull their weight and are undependable. That is it put in a nutshell.
Now I am certain there are good and reliable resident workers. I've personally seen, worked with, and even employed some very good people but overall this problem keeps surfacing over and over. We can argue training, wage levels, rights and wrongs and most everything you want but in the end most will fall under the above mentioned summery. If this were not the case we wouldn't have stories appearing like the one posted in the newspapers. Remember I'm only telling the story, making you talk and think about it, not the cause of, or the reason its here, only putting it into light.
So what does a employer do?
The legislature?
The wannabe employees?
Well I don't have the answers, I'm, as I've stated, only the story teller, these are your problems, not mine, you need to answer these questions yourselves. Until this is faced truthfully and openly it will keep festering under the surface, until that surface is broken and the problem is addressed and removed, this will not go away...

715- SO WHATS NEXT

RESIDENT WORKERS NOT RELIABLE

The sorry saga of trying to hire reliable workers. I am only passing this along, this is not of my creation, but as a messenger, to allow the people to see the problem. If you don't like the message, don't shoot the messenger.
Atalig: Resident Workers Are Unreliable
Owner and general manager Felipe Atalig said Casa de Felipe's ultimate goal has always been to hire and train local workers, however; he said that goal has always fallen short because of the unreliability of the resident workers he has so far hired. Atalig, whose manpower agency has been providing nonresident workers to the Commonwealth Utilities Corp. the past 10 years, said the reason why none of the resident workers he has hired lasted is due to three factors. He said resident workers he has so far hired demand a higher wage rate than what they are already getting, which is $6.50/hour. Atalig added that the environment at the CUC is too hot, too dirty, and too oily for them and the worst part, according to him, is they are absent most of the time. Atalig said there was even an instance that a CUC supervisor caught his resident workers sleeping on the job at 5 o'clock in the morning. He added that one of his local employees also was absent 25 days in a period of three months.

714- CRAZY SEX LAWS

THEY'RE ON THE BOOKS, ENFORCEMENT MAY BE A DIFFERENT MATTER

Failure to follow these laws could lead to torture or even hanging.. ( Just Kidding) These are for fun and grins.
We'll get right to the point, here are some really crazy sex laws... (No Kidding)...
Women must address bachelors as master instead of mister, according to an Illinois state law.
A law in Oblong, Illinois makes it a crime to make love while fishing or hunting on your wedding day.
Clinton, Oklahoma, has a law against masturbating while watching two people having sex in a car.
In Willowdale, Oregon, no man may curse while having sex with his wife.
In Harrisburg, Pennsylvania it is illegal to have sex with a truck driver inside a toll booth.
In Ames, Iowa a husband may not take more than three gulps of beer while lying in bed with his wife.
In Bozeman, Montana, you can't perform any sexual acts in the front yard of any home, after sundown, and if you are nude.
In Nevada sex without a condom is considered illegal.
A law in Alexandria, Minnesota makes it illegal for a husband to make love to his wife if his breath smells like garlic, or sardines.
In Connorsville, Wisconsin no man shall shoot off a gun while his female partner is having a sexual orgasm.
So don't shoot your gun or violate any of these ridiculous laws....You could get your ass in the slammer or your tit in a wringer... just be cool!

713- THANKS BUT NO THANKS

TAO TAO TANO - THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE POWER OUTAGES I AM WAITING FOR TO DARKEN MY HOME AND CLOSE MY BUSINESS

Don't you guys get it? A business can never run in a deficit, and what you have so recklessly done is really screw up this place even more than it was, and throw it into darkness.

What do you propose that they do now? We need more brilliant ideas now more then ever. Did you think with your heads buried in the sand that someone else will come in and fix it for you? The weeds of the seeds you have sown are now spreading into the cover of black- outs and power shortages. Well thanks a friggin lot, I'm sure my computer can take a couple more zaps before it dies too.

I had a hard time explaining to my Chinese business partner that power outages were upon us, and the reason was the reduced residential power rates causing a financial shortage to buy fuel. This common thinking person then ask, "But how are the businesses going to pay the differences if they are powerless and closed down?" So I ask you to answer that simple question, please, so I can pass it along to a practical common thinking mind.

If you think you are helping people, thanks a lot again, but please stop it, we don't need any more of your kind of help. Stop it now... You are the cause of the darkness... The reasons this place is sinking in the abyss... No brains... No Ideas that work... and No Future... Thanks a lot for the night... the sweat... and my business being closed... Please stop helping.

710- THE GOVERNOR WAKES UP

WE FINALLY HAVE HEARD FROM THE GOVERNOR

Governor you are getting smarter everyday. This is the second time in a week I've had to tip my hat to you.

Here's what he thinks, and quiet rightly so...
Administration: No to Saipan casino. More
THE administration has taken a stand on the Saipan Casino Act. It’s against the proposed law.

“Because of the public land giveaway provision embedded in the popular initiative.” Under the initiative, the cash-strapped government will lease public land for only $1 per year to the casino investors. If ratified on Nov. 3, the initiative would give a monopoly to one company and restrict ownership and control of that company to persons of Northern Marianas Descent, or NMD's. This could eventually lead to a legal challenge. Governor Fitial also disagrees with the Saipan casino initiative’s proposed wholesale giveaway of valuable public land for the benefit of one indigenous group rather than the indigenous population as a whole.
Kudos again Governor!

708- UGHH - THAT 'MUSIC'

THE TERRIBLE 'MUSIC' STILL REMAINS ON THE MCV SPORTS SHOWS

The monopoly at MCV doesn't seem give a shit what they play, cause we can't switch the channel and see the games elsewhere. If they won't change the 'music' I would think they could at least put it on at a lower volume then the game, instead it's decibels higher then the game, making the mute button a necessity. Man what a drag, to have your enjoyment interrupted by lousy 'music'. It's like going to a BBQ and all they serve is poi and kimchee.

Couldn't they at least play the radio station they play during the showing of the schedules that constantly scroll down the screen? May I suggest using the current 'music' to the US military for the interrogations of Al Qaeda and Taliban terrorists.... (Check Post # 648 Here.) That's all.

.....GED.....

PS... They have now taken us from the elevator into the jungle, it only gets worse. The team logos are ok but the music, as hard as it is to fathom went downhill. Oh for a little rock 'n roll... kind of music that sooths the soul. I reminisce 'bout the days of old with some old time rock 'n roll. -Bob Seger-.

707- OF WOMEN and MEN

WOMEN AND MEN SEE THINGS WITH DIFFERENT POINTS OF VIEW

Here are some examples of different interpretations, from what is actually said, to what is really meant.
What men and women say and what they really mean:
What a woman says, what she really means:
I need = I want.
Maybe = No.
It's your decision = The correct decision should be obvious by now.
Do whatever you want = You are going to pay for this later.
We need to talk = I need to complain.
Sure...go ahead = I don't want you to.
I'm not upset = Of course I'm upset, you moron!
You're so manly = You need a shave and you sweat a lot.
You're certainly attentive tonight = Is sex all you think about?
I'm not emotional and overreacting! = I have a severe case of PMS.
Be romantic, turn out the lights = I have flabby thighs.
This kitchen is so inconvenient = I want a new house.
Do you love me? = I'm going to ask for something expensive.
How much do you love me? = I did something today you're really going to hate.
Is my butt fat? = Tell me I'm beautiful.
You have to learn to communicate = Just agree with me.
Are you listening to me? = Too late, you're dead.
I'm sorry = You'll be sorry.
I was wrong = Not as wrong as you.
I'm not yelling! = Of course I'm yelling, this is important!
What a man says, what he really means:
I'm hungry = I'm hungry.
I'm tired = I'm tired.
Do you want to go to a movie? = I'd eventually like to have sex with you.
Can I take you out to dinner? = I'd like to have sex with you.
Would you like to dance? = I want to have sex with you.
Can I call you sometime? = I need to have sex with you.

May I take you home? = I must have sex with you.

Please! May I come in?= I really gotta get some now.

Nice dress! = Nice cleavage!
You look tense, let me give you a massage = I want to fondle you.
What's wrong? = What meaningless self-inflicted psycho trauma are you going through now?
You look upset = I guess sex tonight is out of the question.
Yes, I love your new hairstyle = I liked it better before.
Yes, your haircut looks good = $50 and it looks no different!
I like the first dress you tried on better = Pick any freakin' dress and let's go!
Such is the world of women and men...

706- WADDA YOU THINK

WHAT DO I THINK? I'LL TELL YOU WHAT I THINK.. 10/27/07

Some predictions:
I think... the SCA is DOA... The Saipan Casino Act is dead on arrival. This will not even come close to passing. (check the poll below my picture.)

The numbers: 12,000 qualified voters, 2/3 is 8,000 yes votes needed. All non votes are counted as 'no' votes due to a tilted voting table, post#683 so there is no possible way there will be 8,000 yes votes, Will never happen!
I think... CUC IS IN DEEP TROUBLE...When and if the governor announces a plan for the control of CUC by the Executive branch, thru a state of emergency order, here's what I think...Now I can't imagine what he might say, but the essence of, or the bottom line will be this.. It will cost the consumers more money. I don't care what words he uses to explain or express his 'idea' we will pay! Out of one pocket or the other! We will pay!
I think ... TINA SABLAN IS A WINNER... Christina Sablan aka Tina is not only a winner as in all the things she's made of, the person she is, but will be a winner in the same large way in the elections! Yes Tina will win and win big, count her in. There will be no stopping this determined woman. She is on the path of her destiny and will always be a winner. She will win!
I think... It's your turn... To tell me what you think, do you think I am right, or do you think differently? Let me know....

705- WILLIE WANTED EGGS.. FLASHBACK 8

HE ONLY WANTED BREAKFAST STEAK AND EGGS

Austin, Texas, the place was..

The Branding Iron
It was Thanksgiving day, our job was for all practical purposes, complete and I had only a small handful of workers left to put some finishing touches on the job. So I decided to take all the guys (8 of them) out for lunch to a smorgasbord type of place. This place always had a huge spread of all kinds of food for lunch, a great place for a hungry bunch of working guys to dig in, and pig out.
Well being a holiday it turned out we were the only customers in the place and were enjoying our lunch when 3 more people came in, two men and a women, and sat down at a table right beside us. A quick glance turned into a ' hey, do you see who that is?' It was Willie Nelson, his wife and his drummer named Paul. Now you remember I told you it was a smorgasbord kind of place where you get only self served food, there is no ordering or waitresses, but there were servers who kept the food supplied at the counter. Seeing the group still sitting and not waiting on themselves a server ask then what they wanted, and Willie said they wanted breakfast, steak and eggs, to which the server replied that they had to choose from the available food already placed out and they didn't serve steak and eggs.

Here we had a chance to have a Thanksgiving lunch with Willie Nelson and company, and the restaurant wouldn't serve them eggs. Man were we bummed out when they got up and left. The consensus among us at the table was, they really should have made some eggs for the guy, couldn't they even just make some eggs? It's not every day a guy gets to have lunch with Willie and they wouldn't even make 'um eggs. Bummer! Just a few eggs.

704- MORE CUC DISASTERS

IT DIDN'T TAKE LONG TO FIND OUT WHAT THE NEXT CUC DISASTER WOULD BE

As I suggested CUC may be jinxed (see post # 693) and was wondering when the next fiasco would happen, well it didn't give us much time to wait and ponder this question as we have had our most recent 'event' today....
CUC's largest pipeline breaks...
Leak triggers water outage in Puerto Rico, Garapan
The Commonwealth Utilities Corp.'s water main, one of the biggest pipelines on the island, broke Thursday night, triggering a water outage in Puerto Rico and the entire Garapan area yesterday. CUC spokesperson Pamela Mathis told Saipan Tribune that probably 25,000 gallons of water got wasted as water overflowed from the pipe along the shoulder of Middle Road near Wushin Gas in Puerto Rico just before 7pm. (Read the Whole Story)
Here is one thing I as a contractor have a real problem with, this has been a standard procedure ever since there were water and power lines placed underground, you do not put them close together! Picture. Mathis said that there was no method of fixing the pipe on Thursday night because it is the same area where an underground power line is buried.

POWER and WATER..NEVER EVER TOGETHER!

So here we go again more problems at the rapidly deteriorating utility company. We seen to be just moving from one disaster to another with little time between to even catch our collective breaths. We can only wonder what will be next and when, it seems we won't have long to wait.

Tomorrows another day....

SOME TIMES A GAL GOTTA DO WHAT A GAL GOTTA DO

ALERT!.. R-Rated
BLOW JOBS - WHAT A GIRL HAS TO SAY ON THE SUBJECT
First and foremost, we are not obligated to do it. So if you get one, be grateful.
I don't care WHAT they did in the porn video you saw, it is not standard practice to cum on some one's face.
My ears are NOT handles. Do not push on the top of my head. Last I heard, deep throat had been done.
I don't care HOW relaxed you get, it is NEVER OK to fart.
Having my period does not mean that it's "hummer week" - get it through your head - I'm bloated and I feel like shit so no, I don't feel particularly obligated to blow you just because YOU can't have sex right now.
"Blue Balls" might have worked on high school girls - if you're that desperate, go jerk off and leave me alone.
If I have to pause to remove a pubic hair from my teeth, don't tell me I've just "wrecked it" for you.
Leaving me in bed while you go play video games immediately afterwards is highly inadvisable if you would like my behavior to be repeated in the future.
If you like how we do it, it's probably best not to speculate about the origins of our talent. Just enjoy the moment and be happy that we're good at it.
No, it doesn't particularly taste good. And I don't care about the protein content.
No, I will NOT do it while you watch TV.
When you hear your friends complain about how they don't get blow jobs often enough, keep your mouth shut. It is inappropriate to either sympathize or brag.
Just because "it's awake" when you get up does not mean I have to "kiss it good morning."
Please do NOT let this post give you any ideas....

RED SOX WIN GAME TWO OF THE WORLD SERIES

Oct 26, 12:41 AM (ET)

First a blowout, then a nail-biter. October ace Curt Schilling and Boston's stingy bullpen figured out another way to stop Colorado. Relying more on guile than pure gas, Schilling pitched the Red Sox to a 2-1 victory Thursday night and a 2-0 lead in the World Series over the suddenly stagnant Rockies.

701- MY OWN VIEW - SCA

HOW I FEEL ABOUT THE SAIPAN CASINO ACT

This was going to be a comment to Jeff Turbitt's own opinion of the SCA but as I thought about it I decided to expand it and share it with everyone.
Jeff, I think you might have hit the nail right on the head, along with Lil Hammerhead (a must read) and some others. A casino within it's self probably wouldn't be a bad idea along with some other new tourist attractions in a broad scheme of things. In fact, operated fairly and equally could actually be a good thing for all.

All the naysayers are the ones afraid of changes, and have weak excuses not to have a casino. All the crime and negative things attributed to casinos are already here. We have existing here probably the seediest of all gambling venues, the lowest forms of poker parlors that exist, broken homes, ruined families, gambling addicts and an excess of crime and illegal operations already, so write off all these as excuse not to have a casino.
BUT.. To say the casino is going to be the savior of the economy and millions of dollars will be freely flowing is an impossible pie in the sky dream, this will never happen. Although a lot wishful thinkers would like to believe this. There is no get rich quick solution. No handouts or free money. Never was, never will be.
Now out on a short branch: To place a casino here and now would be a kick in the teeth to Tinian and the new investors that are adding new casinos and resorts there, this is not good for other investors to observe. This will indicate to them that the wind blows any way that that is convenient for the CNMI and to hell with them. This is a whole nother story that needs to be addressed another time, but must be in the overall picture.
HERE IS THE MONKEY WRENCH.. The SCA is a terrible proposal, it is racist, greedy, ill conceived and something no person should vote for without reading the 27 or so pages called The Saipan Casino Act/Initiative. Anyone reading this gimme gimme proposal will never vote for this rip-off. This is a direct slap in the face of all people being ask to vote for this piece of crap. Do they really want to insult the intelligence of the whole community by proposing the SCA in its present form?
In conclusion: A casino is not a bad idea, it could work along with other attractions... It will not increase crime... It will not be the supreme savior of the economy... It will be a blow to Tinian and their progress... It is utterly the worst proposal ever written!
So I'm not going to suggest how you vote, that's up to you, but please know what you are voting for before you cast that ballot. It is a MUST to read the SCA before plunging blindly into the abyss. These are only my personal thoughts on this most important issue. You have now been informed, the choice is yours!........... (Click on the blue lettering to read the entire SCA.)

697-ROBBING PETER TO PAY PAUL

WOW! WHAT A BRILLIANT IDEA, FORMATTED BY A GROUP OF MENTAL GIANTS!

The legislature, realizing their override of the power rate bill vetoed by the governor might have not been such a good idea after all, are now faced with appropriating monies to cover the shortfall. So their answer is to dip in the funds that come from poker fees, a simply brilliant idea, except the poker fees are only being re-appropriated, there is no new money. As a result, funds will have to be taken from some other entities that need the money also. Ah, the cleverness of this completely friggin' amazes me. So in essence they are simply taking it out of the other pocket and cutting the funds in other places. Let's all try to guess who will take the hit for this, PSS, DPS, CHC, or some other nonessential agency, someone will have to give it up. To find out where the funds will come from, just wait for the screams. What more can be said for this mind boggling display of mental genius. The bottom line to this is we are still paying for CUC no matter which pocket they rob it from, hence robbing Peter to pay Paul.

A simple conclusion, if there is no new money then it results only in a shuffle of the little bit of money they have. In realility they have just reduced the budget for essential services by $6 million dollars, by spending it on CUC and trimming it elsewhere. This does not accomplish a damn thing but to cover their own dumbasses. The sad part about this is: They think we can't see through this, they think we are even more stupid then they are. Could it be because we keep reelecting them, year after year?

So we begin to wonder again, just what will be next. I think maybe CUC has sold its soul to the devil and is now paying it's dues. There must be some reasons for all this seemingly bad luck. Is it possible the management of the company plays into the picture, not! Not bad management, it can't be, its simply just a bit of misfortune, just coincidences.

The meteorite thing was meant to be a joke, but there will be no joking when this inept, mismanaged company gets people killed, their luck is not running very high and this self admitted 'very dangerous company' is on the brink of a real disaster! Who will take the blame? "Not I," they will all say, while finger pointing at everyone else. This power company needs to be put in the capable hands of a private operator and now is not to soon. The one small problem with this is, there is no one even capable of getting that done. Such a sorry mess!

691- WEEK NINE NFL

THE SCHEDULE FOR WEEK NINE 11/4 CALLS FOR THE COLTS AND THE PATRIOTS

Is it possible we will have a mid season championship game? Will we see two undefeated 7-0/8-0 teams go head to head? This scenario is highly possible, and what a game it should be. Now I may be getting ahead of myself as the teams presently are 6-0/7-0 and have one more week to play before that happens. The Colts have the Panthers and the Patriots have the Redskins standing between them and this dream game. I don't think we ever saw, at mid season, two undefeated teams meeting in week nine.

This may be a first.. Take your picks early, and let me know who you are for and who you think will win this and why.

She looks into his eyes and calmly says, "No, I'm your son's math teacher."

688- DIETING FOR WOMEN

THE FOLLOWING IS A DIET REGIMENT FOR FEMALE DIETERS

We start with breakfast ...

Woman's Diet:

BREAKFAST... 1/2 grapefruit, 1 slice whole wheat toast, 8 oz glass skim milk.
LUNCH... 4 oz lean broiled chicken breast, 1 cup steamed zucchini, 1 Oreo cookie.
MID-AFTERNOON SNACK... The rest of the package of Oreo cookies,

1 quart Rocky Road ice cream, 1 jar hot fudge.
DINNER... 2 loaves garlic bread, 1 large pepperoni & mushroom pizza, 1 large pitcher of beer, 3 Milky Way candy bars, 1 entire cheesecake.

DIET TIPS;

1. If no one sees you eat it, it has no calories.

2. If you drink a diet soda with a candy bar, they cancel each other out.

3. When eating with someone else, calories don't count if you both eat the same amount.

4. Foods used for medicinal purpose have no calories.These include any chocolate used for energy, brandy, cheesecake, and ice cream.

5. Cookie pieces contain no calories, because breakage causes the calories to leak out.

6. If you eat food from someone else's plate, the calories don't count.

7. Movie related snacks are much lower in calories because they are part of the entertainment, and not ones of personal fuel.
And tomorrow we start the same old things all over again.

So what does this government do? Start trying to meddle with, question and change the rules.... something that should have all been done right up front.

This company is expanding air services to the island, building new tourist accommodations and expanding an existing golf course.

The parent company of Asiana Airlines, Kumho, acquired Saipan Laulau from UMDA early this year. The investor plans to build dozens of villas on the property at a cost of $70 million. It wants to see the area turned into a first class resort and golf course... The Story Here ..You must read the article to follow and understand my ranting...
Now the political interference takes over, creating stumbling blocks for the very thing they are crying so loudly for. Why doesn't one hand of the government know what the other hand is doing? Why is the investor always put in the awkward position of being in the middle of all the confusion created by different government agencies?

Now before everyone gets their bowels in an uproar let me clarify one thing. I am NOT questioning any rules and regulations that are of legitimate and proper concerns that need to be followed, but only the timing, confusion and method of handling these matters. All of these concerns being brought forth now should have all been fully cleared up and understood when the first and final arrangements were made. Now is to late to start wondering what was done, after the fact. Well I guess that's how business is handled by this government.. Oh well....
