I've had a "Fantasy Stock Exchange" account for the last 10 months or so, and I just decided to have a read over the user-submitted comments. This one is a classic:
IMO F is worse off than GM. If they don't receive any help from the Fed. they should probably merge or re-structure.
If you're not familiar with your acronyms or ticket symbols, IMO means "In my opinion", "F" is Ford Motor Company, and "GM" is General Motors.
While restructuring may not be as huge of a deal, for these two companies to merge would mean a major shakeup in the automotive industry, and would likely not happen.
I just made a trip to the kroger store down the way. I have spent the evening feeling miserable due to the heat and my stomach revolting at all the not-home-cooked food. I figured that getting out would make me feel better, but shortly after hitting the road I felt nausious again. Determined, I went on to the kroger, oblivious to what would await me in the checkout.
I made a quick trip to the aisles that had just what I needed, the made my way to the cash register. Half way through the checkout lane, it hit me (and likely everyone else in the area). Someone had soiled themself.
Now, I have a hard time making comments about the misfortune of others, but this time it was too much for me to shrug off. I can understand that this poor soul may have fought tooth and nail to get some supplies now that the storm has passed, but jeez... If I were inconvenienced by such an embarassing event, I would much rather salvege my dignity than to get another box of pop-tarts and another candle.
I think the odor affixed itself to my clothes, as I can't seem to shake it from my nose.
I'm sure the karma will come back to me on this, but ugh!
