Shitty movie advertising slogans are going to take a big hit when 2013 comes along :(

I keep getting spam from a bot with a (constantly changing) email always named "Anthony Morrison", and the titles tend to be things like "Hey Anette (I don't know why it thinks that this is my name) I found this link for you" or "Anette, a discovery". The latest is "You'll NEVER succeed."

Sorry about that, Anette Sara. I've been getting something similar to the first two in the past month or so; it's from a Yahoo Group to which I belong, and a few of my former classmates' email IDs have been taken over. Since I haven't seen any unnecessary 'sent mail' from my email account associated with that group, I don't think that mine has suffered the same fate.

Stop right there, Anette! My pal Tony (Mr Morrison to you) is a perfectly nice guy!

A shame that I never click them - for all I know it could've been a run-on sentence ending in "... if you don't click this link I found".

Question: I'm going to apply for a job at Winn-Dixie. Should I or should I not mention that I worked for Winn-Dixie for ~2 weeks 5 years ago? My memory of that period of time is so hazy that it's almost like it never happened- I ended up quitting because I got a job at the library, so I don't think I gave a 2 weeks notice.

They'll have a record of it in their computer. Don't say no if you are asked directly, especially in writing. However, if you elect not to volunteer the information if you are not asked, I see nothing wrong with that.

Does anyone else feel that one is reading about a woman whenever the name Jena Jando is mentioned? :-\

Similarly, I must be cautious on hearing the English name Dana. Well, it's easier now, as I know some five lads of the name.

If JJ's name that we're used to is the Anglicised version, then something tells me it would be work better (for him ;)) if it was written in his native way.

Anyway, I hope you will buy this Bachbox. If you do you may find that you will be very pleasantly surprised.
I already enjoy listening to Bach, so is it listening to Janssen play Bach that should surprise me?
