What show was that?

I remember Paleoworld.

Umm... I'm not sure what the title of that one was, but Nat. Geo. was airing a bunch of shows, one of which was called 'Alien Worlds'.

I loved Paleoworld... I wish I could find it on tape/DVD... even though at this point half the information would be outdated.
 
To the science teacher,

All we're trying to do is pick my niece up at the science fair location after the science fair. Why should we drive across the city to pick her up at the school at 3:00 when she's going to be spending the day less than half a mile from the house? We already have to pick her brother up at 3:10 at a different school (because they say we live too close for him to get on a bus). It's impossible to be in two places at the same time! Now you say you'll let us do this, but you want to physically see the person who's picking her up. Sir, you do know that it's supposed to be pouring rain out this afternoon? The person picking her up is her grandmother, her retired grandmother who is going in for knee replacement surgury this summer because she can't last much longer without it? She can't go walking all over a college campus searching for her grand-daughter when she has no idea what building she's going to be in. Would you be this concerned with who she went home with if she was being picked up at school? Because they weren't this concerned with who picked her up from school when she was in kindergarten.


Mr. Science Teacher,

Thanks for solving our problem. Unfortunately if you had bothered to get in touch with the school you would have found out that her mother is not on the approved list to remove her from school property or in this case a school sponsored trip. This was done with good cause. Her mother has not been reliable in returning the children at the appointed time. And when the children were younger there were questions on if she was going to return them at all! How many times in 1 year are children kidnapped by a parent or guardian? The 'approved to pick up' list at school is ment to stop this sort of thing from happening!

To McAfee,

What the :censored: did you download to the good computer. All you were supposed to do is download our subscription for the next year. Just like we've done since buying the computer 4 years ago. Now I'm having to run the start-up error detection program because the computer won't even start up! :censored: We can't live without that computer for any length of time. This one may be running XP but it's still an old '98 and just doesn't have the space to do what that one does. :scream:

That didn't do anything! :censored: It still sits on a blank screen! And the worse part is we may call you and rant at you tomorrow but it won't do any good. :brickwall: We can't get far enough onto the computer to fix whatever you just did to screw it up! :scream::brickwall:

Dear Library ppl!

I am completely annoyed by all the rude attitude you're giving to me.
Do I really look that dumb, annoying, pushy etc?
I don't think so.
Yeah I might not have the best experience w/ your staff members and the overall attitude towards customers but is that really so hard to put up a note w/ all info?
How in the bloody world should I know that there're no more two hours aviable @ internet??
In the other libraries it is allowed.
I'm very very angry that NOBODY told me that I'm allowed ONLY 1 hour!
For some1 who does not have PC at home that should be allowed w/o time limit if there're no other ppl around willing to take a seat.
Than put up more computers or write it on a note in from of each computer so we ALL can be informed about the change.
God it was worth only b/c of a good walk in a windy day.
Next time I probably will choose different library in hopes for better service..
Your very *cough* customer..
 
We allow usually an hour, but if no one's waiting to use the PCs, the PC will give more time automatically...your library needs a PC Reservation type program, methinks. It does the whole thing without human help. Although we rarely have competition unless the lab is closed for some reason and everyone's waiting on the PCs in the youth area. (which are really the same as the adult ones) and the four in the reference area. We also have a 15min PC but there isn't really a limit technically, people just get tired of standing there after a while LOL

So that basically all libraries are about same.
Last year main library had two hour limit but now seems they've changed the rules.
I haven't tried other libraries yet but I still hope they have two hours time.
Well we have also 15 min and 30 min's as well. But 15 min allow only e-mail and 30 min only catalogue.

Also we have bureau programmes PC's where is no specific time limit. I had to wait for internet pc so I was offered the programmes PC for two hours (managed to type up two chapters for fic).

I dunno about PC Reservation stuff but the woman at the desk usually put us on a list and registers who comes and at what time.
Well for only 6 PC's concurence is quite big.
I barely made in free hour or at least 30 mins.

Last year I lost my card and the library asks pay for it if I want to take books but luckily I had other cards so at least PC access is able to me.
 
PC Res means you can scan your card to get a reservation. I hope another library won t charge you...we now charge $1 for anyone whose card isn't with our library. Mine isn't, but I got another card for being a staff member, so when I hop on during break or before clock in, I can bypass it. I know of other libraries that do it as well, but not all do.

Dear Dell: The new laptop is awesome. But who's the idiot who moved the cord port around to the BACK of the laptop? The side was so much easier and less awkward, darnit.

Dear Bill Gates: Why do you have to send me 16 updates at a time? Can't you send them in smaller packages? And even a normal update is usually 7 or 8 items.

Dear Droid: GET HERE ALREADY! I hate my old cell phone a lot.
 
Oh that. We don't have this kind of thing.
And I so don't want to pay for my lost card. But I want to take book with me.
And other thing I want is to get a plastic card once and for all.
Oh we can make reservations but I don't feel my pre-paid mobile card can afford the call to library.
But I so miss my third card that probably I'll pay the charge one day. Two years of no books in english is way too much.

I got a 19 items in an update package back on Tuesday! :( (Technically it was 20 but I opted out IE9 at the moment)

To my brother,

Man up! You broke up with your girlfriend. You didn't act this bad when you divorced your 'X'. You have to figure out some sort of care for what is now your dog and you have to some how get rid of at least 2 of the 4 vehicles you've now got sitting in the driveway.

----------​

To K.,

He paid more attention to the dog than he did with you? So what. Think of how far down on that list it puts his children. He paid more attention to the dog than he did to his children. He paid more attention to you than he did to his children. He ignores his children to the point that neither one of them even thought about opening the door and yelling down 'bye dad' before leaving with their mother for the weekend.
 
Three missed calls and two voice mails within 13 minutes?? :wtf: Do you even understand the purpose of a cell phone? It doesn't necessarily mean I'm going to answer every single call every single time! I don't walk around with the thing strapped to my head!

It has nothing to do with not wanting to talk to you or not wanting to tell you where I am or what I'm doing. :rolleyes: It has everything to do with the fact that sometimes the phone is turned off because I'm at the movies or somewhere that I don't want it to ring, or I'm not in the same room with it, or I didn't hear it, or I'm driving, or I'm in the shower, or whatever.

I haven't been killed or kidnapped just because I didn't answer my cell phone, okay?? Leave a message and I'll call you back when I can.
 
Four horrible text messages from a guy i used to know and i'm gonna show them to my brother and see what happens and it's been like it all day and wish he would leave me the hell alone.

I'm like a ghost on here well that's what it feels like and doubt anyone missed me when i didnt go on here.

I also feel unwanted around here so i might leave again.

Dear Facebook:

I hate you for deleting me. This is the third time and always the same reason..undetected activity..blah..blah..what activity..putting pictures of my cats up. You stupid jerks! I hate you.
 
To cable guys: I'm so tired of your home visits. I don't want to get cable tv nor internet.
It's tremendously annoying that these company's are bothering people disturbing their things just to ask whether they want to get cable tv or internet.
No, I don't want and won't want in near future so back off!
And no, we don't need you to keep coming and asking, if we wanted then we'd already ordered something.
And how many companies are in this country? :eek:
Your Very Annoyed not-customer.

To mom: Please would you stop bothering me with endless news information I can get myself easily.
I'm not interested in politics and anything around that. I can find info on world's disasters on my own. That's why I've ordered special internet settings and haven't trashed all my credit in phonecalls.
Plus I'm not in the mood for any of that nonsense you sometimes give me. I know I still live in same house you do and I'm still unemployed but ASAP I find something I'll move out. I want my own life.
No offence but that's kinda tradition when children grows up and are able to be on their own.
Your overly depressed and annoyed daughter.
~~~
To my phone: When the hell will you start behave like you did before?
Your angry owner.
 
Dear mother,
first of all, if you come talk to me with an angry and aggressive voice, it's more than likely that you get your answers in an angry tone too. Don't scold at me that I should be more polite, when you started the whole thing.

And no, I don't know about my money situvation in next month, and yes, I should propably find out about it. But would it have been totally impossible to tell that to me in civilised way, instead of shouting at me and telling me how irresponsible I am?

Why is it that every time you have a bad day, you just have to ruin every elses too? And then you have the nerve to wonder why I don't want to spend more time at home. Why would I want to spend more time in the place, where half of the time, you manage to make me feel angry/ depressed?
