Seems like the vibe has gotten pretty whiny around here lately. I love my free calendar and it is hanging up prominently in my office at work. So not only am I staring at the advertising all year long, everyone who walks in my office sees it too.

So, rather than complaining, I'll say "THANKS"!

Guess this is the only thing we could think of to complain about today?

You're welcome and, yeah, we have noticed a bit of kvetching lately.

In reply to David S. Wallens:

a buddy of mine calls his racing team "Bloising Saddles" partly because his last name is Blois and partly bcause he kinda looks like the Sherrif. :)

He was just in Daytona testing for the Grand-Am 200 with Team Seattle, funding didn't come through in time to get him a seat for the race.

off to slot a copy of Blazing Saddles into the HTPC while the wife sleeps. :)

Sorry, wasn't trying to whine. I was legitimately looking to give you more money for a more useful calendar. I'm a huge fan of the people behind the magazine, I don't want to come across as ungrateful.

Love this idea!

I use the calendar mostly for the pictures, so I didn't even notice the ads. That's what pays for it anyways, think of it as sponsorship on a racecar.

Oh and I heard Ms. December is a hot piece of a...

Wait, so I'm the only one excited to shop on eBay January 30th? I didn't even have to write it in, super convenient.

I dunno, I like my calendar just fine. There are really cool cars on there (and a really cool Jeep ) and I don't care if there are sponsor ads on there. I have absolutely zero complaints about it because IT WAS FREE. The GRM guys didn't have to toss a FREE calendar in with my paid subscription, but they did, and that's cool.

Thanks guys for sending me a FREE calendar!!!

Meh, I'm ok with that. Feedback is a huge reason we have this forum. Just remember we're human, so we sometimes can't help getting our noses out of joint... especially when we're extra busy and stressed.

Or when you put your (18 year old?) ass into keeping a magazine alive, and it's not met with universal love and appreciatism (that's a new word).

I say good job, lady. I'm going to take that sharpie and mark the 30th of Jan the damn 30th of Jan.

Ha, thanks. And FWIW, my ass was 23 when we started the magazine... but it still looked 18.
