Stockholder: "What an idiot I'm only 72-years-old and I already finished third grade."

Stockholder: "After what Indian food did to my shorts, I see his point, glass must be an improvment."

About Stockholder

Family

I’m a very young man at the age of 72; my four grandchildren keep me youthful by introducing me to all of the new movies and toys.

Many years ago my three daughters kept me in shape by making me run after their boyfriends. I would need to beat the crap out of some young smart as.s about once or twice a week. I have and always will be over protective of my girls. My son was probably my hardest battle, he was just like his old man growing up. His favorite hobbies consisted of tilting back about a case of beer a night and looking for women. I was fortunate that none of my kids landed in jail for more than one night at a time.

All of my kids would say I was a pretty good father. Even though I could not stand their mother half of the time, I have always tried to give everything to my kids and now I try to give everything to my grandchildren. It is becoming harder to stay in touch with my family, three of my kids live in different states. My son-in-law, who is the biggest loser on this earth, tells me that they all live in different states to get far away from me. I know that is not true, my kids have me stay at their houses any time I want and my phone is constantly ringing of the hook with their phone calls. When I recently lost most of my money through bad investments, I found out that my children love me the same rich or poor. That made me feel like I just won a million dollars, when in reality I lost over a million. I took some help from my kids, but not one penny of money.

I'm also close with my youngest sister. She is 16 years younger than I am. I often spend weekends freeloading at their big house. She is fortunate to have a rich doctor for a husband.

Without family life is not important to me.

Epinions

What I love the most about Epinions is reading. I like to read for hours every day. I’m not currently working and I’m not getting any action with the ladies. So, I lounge around my apartment wearing my pajamas and reading what the rest of you lonely souls think about a variety of useless products that I will never have enough money to buy.

I consider myself a pretty easy to please critic. I will rate Very Helpful if you tell me most of what I need to know about a product. For example if the review is about music, I will need to know what kind of music you are reviewing, what you liked about it and is it worth buying Yes or No. I don’t need to know what the singer likes to eat for breakfast and if the drummer has gotten laid this month, just tell me something about the music.

I will give a Helpful if you give me just one thing I need to know about the product. For example if you tell me what kind of music you are reviewing and compare the music to something that sounds similar.

I will rate Somewhat Helpful if you actually tried, but your review made no sense to me.

I will rate Not Helpful if the only thing you are doing is playing a joke and wasting my time.

I’m probably easy on other writers because my writing skills are nothing to brag about. I do not consider my reviews works of art by any stretch of the imagination, but I always make sure to make it useful to the customers of Epinions. My goal is to give an honest review of the product, to list all of the things I like as well as dislike.

I read everything from people I trust and that trust me. I appreciate when people rate my reviews and I love reading and writing comments. It makes me feel good when people take the time to write or e-mail. I also want to thank all the great writers/people that make Epinions a special place. I'm happy I found Epinions, it has become a very important part of my life. I learn something new every time I visit.

WOT

I have battled with my WOT. I have a hard time determining who I should put on there. So, what I am currently doing with my WOT is putting people on that I enjoy to read and would like to read everything that they write in the future. But just because I put you on my WOT does not mean you will stay on there forever. Lately, I have been taken people off for the following reasons: 1) The writer has not written a review in months. 2) The writer has put me on their “pay no mind list” and probably hates me or has been told to hate me. I figure if someone is always reading and rating but avoids me like the plague, why should I keep track of someone that dislikes me, or is reading and rating with an agenda. 3) The person is not writing about the same interesting topics or has recently took up sniffing glue and lost their writing abilities.

So until I find the perfect formula of how to use my WOT, I will be using it as a place for writers that are under the stockholder microscope.


I highly recommend you use Ptiemann's program, It adds so much to Epinions. You can keep track of all of your favorite writers and you can see who is keeping track of you. All you need to know is your Epinions name and your E-mail address. Sign Up To Ptiemann's.

Thank you, lorace for taking the time to introduce me to this program.

HTML For (Stockholder) Dummies.

If you were to ask me before I found these helpful websites what HTML was, I would have guessed it was a sexually transmitted disease, but now thanks to these easy to follow web-sites, I was able to create all of the above links and pictures. So no more excuses for having a boring Epinions page!!! You can start working on your stockholder tribute page today.
