I actually MUCH prefer the coffee, atmosphere, music, the overall ambience -- being adult and all -- to McDonalds!

There is something about kids running around screaming and such and pelting about to and fro the playground, that in the afternoon, evenings, and especially weekends, simply cannot compare to a Starbucks. And yes, I love children. I raised three and Mickey D's was the favorite haunt.

Starbucks is more than just a great cup of coffee.

eBay / Gmarket: Four Reasons the Deal Makes Sense

As usual, meaningless drivel! ebay keeps dabbling here, there, and yon squandering funds acquiring portions of other companies while it's stock continues a steady downward path. More good after bad is thrown away buying back this awful stock.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch, the onetime darlin' known as ebay (proper) is hopeleslly broken. The focus should be there. It just gets steadily worse and worse. These bits and pieces of company won't save the titanic, and paypal is so awful I'll not even get started on that.

Funnily enought, the U.S. and the U.K. have been the most "legal tolerant" of countries; the rest of the planet is clamping down on ebay. And ebay is broke... bad.

You know, there's a saying, it's pretty old, and there's a reason for that! A house divided....
