Someone had taken black spray paint and painted over part of the sign. This caused me to pause and wonder, ‘If the Psychic was any good, they would have know that their own sign was going to be messed up and could have put it somewhere else.’ Right? ]]> http://johncarter.com/imo/?feed=rss2&p=14 0 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=12 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=12#comments Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:44:07 +0000 Bugsie http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=12 People can be booksmart; streetsmart; ignorant or plain stupid. Booksmart people are good with theories that may/may not work. Streetsmarts know what works but maybe not why. The Ignorant have no idea whats works because they have neither book or street experience. Stupid people Don’t Want to know what works: especially if they have to work to figure it out. You may be all of them, but it is your average that counts. ]]> http://johncarter.com/imo/?feed=rss2&p=12 0 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=10 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=10#comments Sat, 22 Oct 2011 16:43:15 +0000 Bugsie http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=10 It is appears that it is illegal to run an ad in the paper that says “Free Stupid Test. Send $20″ and when people send you the $20 that you send them a certificate says – “You Passed!” RATS!! ((If I have to explain it, if you are stupid enough to send $20 to find out if you are stupid, then you are stupid. Right??))  ]]> http://johncarter.com/imo/?feed=rss2&p=10 0 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=8 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=8#comments Wed, 12 Oct 2011 16:38:56 +0000 Bugsie http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=8 Sometimes I see obstacles in my path as reasons to not go forward. Or I have looked on the obstructions as merely opportunities to grow my abilities by over coming them. The largest/hardest deterrents I have had to over come is generally my own lack of faith in me, or a lack of faith by those around me. Your own success can sometimes signal to others their own failures. Consider THAT when they tell YOU not to do it. ]]> http://johncarter.com/imo/?feed=rss2&p=8 0 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=17 http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=17#comments Thu, 22 Sep 2011 16:45:04 +0000 Bugsie http://johncarter.com/imo/?p=17 It is just as easy to learn a good habit as it is to learn a bad habit. The hard part is changing the habits you have. So if you learn the good habits first it will be much harder to change to bad ones. ]]> http://johncarter.com/imo/?feed=rss2&p=17 0
