October 27, 2003Monday Mission 3.43PromoGuy's Monday Mission 3.431. Raspil alerted me to a web site that has taken my writings and re-published it without asking my permission (it is a Xanga site and you have to register to comment, so I won't bother linking to it). While I am sure I have been plagiarized before (in fact, I know I have), I never like to see it in action. But there is is, my writing, and even my code, in someone else's blog with not one bit of credit to me. Maybe it was an oversight, so I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt (for now). Have you ever had your work (online of off) used without your permission? What was used and how did you resolve it? 2. Have you ever copied somebody else's work into your own without requesting permission? Did you feel OK about that? How did things turn out?3. Are there any similarities or differences (in general) to someone using my work without permission or compensation and downloading and sharing music without doing the same? Can you justify one and not the other? 4. In the US, yesterday most of us had to set our clocks back an hour for DST. Do you have "Daylight Savings Time" where you live? Do you like it? Does your body adjust well to it? 5. Last week I had to use a blade razor to shave because I misplaced my electric shaver charger. I never shave my whiskers with a blade so I got cut up pretty bad. All is well now, but I won't give up my 'lectric without a fight. Do you shave? At what age did you start? Do you use a blade or an electric? What do you shave (face, chin, legs, ears, etc)? Do you shave in the shower/bath or at the sink? 6. What do you think about the religious groups that get so upset when everyone celebrates Halloween? 7. Are you dressing up for Halloween? If so, as what? And If you do, email me a photo and I will create a Gallery with everyone who sends one. BONUS:How can I explain when there are few words I can choose? Today's Comment Question: Are there any bodily fluids or excretions (sweat, blood, vomit, earwax) that you just can not stand to touch you or that just grosses you out? (and yes, you have my permission to re-publish this and any past or future Monday Missions) file this under Monday MissionPosted by on October 27, 2003 @ October 27, 2003 02:25 PM 19 folks had something to say |
I think they're all pretty groody, but it's a fact of life.
Don't forget to check out my site on Thursday mornings for '3x Thursday'!
Posted by: missy at October 27, 2003 2:43 PMWorking at a hotel about 7 years ago when they first put in the low-flush toilets. I had to go up and 'fix' one that a kid had managed to block, it was one of the nastiest things I ever had to do being the only person at the hotel at 3am. I hope I'll never have to repeat the experience.
Posted by: Thomas at October 27, 2003 2:49 PMWell, in some circumstances, a little sweat ain't bad, but earwax? Vomit? Uhhh, no thanks.

I can't stand the smell or sight of vomit. Talk about sickening.
Posted by: Chad at October 27, 2003 5:35 PMBlood and vomit gross me out.

Posted by: azure at October 27, 2003 8:27 PMI can no longer sit back and allow Communist infiltration, Communist indoctrination, Communist subversion and the international Communist conspiracy to sap and impurify all of our precious bodily fluids.
General Jack D. Ripper is all wrong. They're not precious. They're icky. All of them.
Except maybe tears. They're salty.
The mission's up.
Posted by: Justin at October 27, 2003 9:23 PMBlood is no problem for me; when I was in my surgical technology clinicals, my favorite doctor was a vascular surgeon. Blood would be everywhere. Vomit, on the other hand, is something I don't even like to think about.
Posted by: Raspil at October 27, 2003 10:33 PMlast week I was 2 or 3 days late. This week, I'm a day late. Lets just say I was making a (not so) grand entrance.
Anyhow, mine are up. And all bodily fluids gross me out. Ick.
Mine is up.
I pretty much get grossed out by any body fluid.
