*waves hi*
Hope to see you soon!
It is so hot here that I just slept for 10 hours straight. ... But I’m also itchy and sneezing. We’ll see if I blame allergies or Pudding by the end of the day.
I am sorry about bullet point 4. 
I am confused by the lack of alarm clock this morning. It goes off even when you’re not here… and then again at 7:30 sometimes.
EMT’s ... crossed to the other side? Sorry, didn’t get that ... guess I’m an idiot?
Your new setup looks, how shall I say this ... neat, tidy ?
Definitely wear an “I love NY” cap. Other than that, something comfortable. Jeans, t-shirt, preferably one that says your web site or the logo.
Other than that, I have no clue. Guys can wear just about anything and as long as they wear it with attitude, it’s all good.
As long as said blogger lets us know that the post is from FactCheck (or anywhere else for that matter), I have no problem with them copying and pasting. As long as they give credit.
There is a blogger who I don’t read anymore out there. She came to my site and liked something I wrote, especially the link that I provided for something that outlined the point of my post. She gave me much praise in the comments and said she was going to post this on her blog. I thought great!
Then I went to her blog and she had simply cut and pasted my words (without any credit) AND cut and pasted the words from the link I provided (also withouth credit). Every single comment she got that day praised her for her words. I felt sick. I didn’t really care that she stole from me, but the other blogger she stole from is an actual writer and one of my favorite people.
I left a brief comment with the direct link to the other blogger that she stole from and promptly deleted her from my feed reader. Never to return again. She pops by every once in a while at my place asking why I haven’t returned, but I don’t even give her the time of day.
Oh, and sorry to hear about your friend and co-worker. That sucks, man.
I have a comment about the “I love NY” vs “NY” hat. You are from NY, so saying you love it makes you sound like a tourist. Having a NY hat means you ARE NY, that you are part of it. So, I vote for your orange NY hat.
Yeah, if you quote the source, it’s not content theft, it’s proper citation.
Crossed over? Do they work in New Jersey now?
I think I shall take this post for my very own. Except the video. I don’t think anyone would buy that I’m that good looking.
I’d rather someone copy and paste from “Factcheck.org” than the idiots and bimbo’s who spread viral e-mail rumors as truth.
LisaB- *waves*
Miss Britt- Absolutely nothing… but the player branding is too good of an opportunity to pass up.
Poppy- I blame Pudding now… for that AND the financial crisis. She probably pushed the DO NOT PUSH THIS BUTTON button somewhere.
Mattie- Uh, they passed away… so now only John Edwards gets to talk to them. Really? Neat AND tidy? Time for an eye exam.
B.E. Earl- I have a problem with it, specifically when it is not cited properly. Additionally, I while have a huge problem with people copying my content, others have a bigger problem because of Search Engine Rankings. What that blogger did to you is absolutely wrong… and similar to what this person did. If you want to quote or cite someone else, that’s fine… but when your quote or citation is 99% of your content… that’s a problem.
Avitable- If it is in a proper quotation format, then citing a source isn’t the issue. It’s when 99% of your content is the quote, and it is unclear that it is copied content.
I think Jersey is looking pretty good right now.
Whall- Luckily for you I’m a CC supporter… but good luck with that video part.
Annie- People at Factcheck.org put work into it and contributed it… and to rip it for your own is not right no matter which way you cut it.

The itchy party doesn’t make sense, but she did have a cold. :p
I’m totally slathering myself with topical Benadryl tonight.
*scratch scratch scratch*
You shall do that AFTER I say “hi”.

Well, hurry up and get home to say “hi”! I am going INSANE! (*giggle*)
You need to get home and you can lather Poppy in some Benadryl lotion!
Sorry to hear about the fellow EMTs. That just sucks.
Just wear whatever you’re comfortable in. Or ask Karl - he’s a real snazzy dresser, as evidenced by his last video. (hahaha).
I wasn’t trying to be flip. I just really didn’t understand. I didn’t mean to offend.
I’ve only heard that terminology in reference to things like crossed over from pop to country music, crossed over to work for management instead of being one of the laborers, and other like circumstances.
So, I’m am sorry.
And Poppy ... I didn’t know that about the hats. Thanks!
I didn’t even know that a factcheck.org existed. Damn. Well ripping other people’s shit is never a good thing.
Sorry to hear about your friends…
I say be a rebel and take all the outfits - let the photog decide and/or help!
