Hello Outlook user! I made this post so people that haven't figured out why their Outlook program started behaving painfully slow could try this, which worked for me. You may have a plugin or add-in problem but none of the other solutions fixed my problem and I had no plugins nor add-ins.
Here's what DID work, amazingly quick, back to normal, fast Outlook speed and it's a two second, easy fix.
Locate this file: outcmd.dat in your /Documents and Settings/USER/Application Data/Microsoft/Outlook/ folder and if you're afraid to delete it just rename it to outcmd.dat.bu or something else. BAM! Fixed! Outlook will look for the file and when it doesn't find it, Outlook generates a new one. In my case the file is now 2KB but the culprit file was over 11MB.
I found this instruction on a web page in the comments section.
Now you found it.

Banging my head since the day I was born
When just a wee lad way back in the crib
a football helmet was bought for this kid
by his Dad
Because the kid banged his head
repeatedly.
It seems the head banging continues.
Now, in a more figuratively fashion.
But still.

The Zeitgeist Movement: Orientation Presentation
Dear Zeitgeist/Venus Project folks,
Everyone's a film critic critique:
The golden rule by tradition, yet spoken of in religions and spiritual movements; treat others the way we wish to be treated.
If Zeitgeist doesn't figure out this fundamental principle the entire point they are trying to make will remain but a fleeting illusion to be pursued, but never attained .
Everyone's a film critic critique:
Zeitgeist #1, baby steps (literal Zeus recognized)Finally some folks thinking rationally, at least I thought that, until I read into their plans further and realized they were not promoting vegetarianism. What short sighted Zeitgeist appetite decided on that point? Peter Joseph, if you're thinking that a technologically advanced civilization includes treating animals like products then you haven't realized diddly squat yet amigo. Until we realize this point I think there is less credibility to arguments against slavery.
Zeitgeist #2, great intro from disillusioned POV

reddit cultural report 07-31-09
I'm worried about reddit culture.
After being recently downvoted for suggesting that men should never hit women I must now make another disclosure:
I think it completely rude and ignoble of people that do not STOP, completely, and politely, for ANY pedestrian.
People have to learn this stuff.
So I'll write a parable with weathered optimism:
Once there was this young man, who was not necessarily or deliberately rude; and as luck would have it, this particular day he was fortunate enough to be riding with a very intelligent, yet very quiet older being, almost naked, about 7 ft tall, with a long ass beard and an awesome kinky Jewfro.
The young man was an experienced driver quite familiar with the demands of driving in the worst city traffic in the world. Despite being young and wishy-washy in his habits, he diligently attempted throughout his driving history to find that perfect time line between not holding up traffic and not offending the pedestrian.
So this particular day driving with the wise guy, and pulling out from an alley near the beach, lo and behold a pedestrian just about reaches the alleyway on the sidewalk at almost the same time. Well, not quite almost; for you see the pedestrian was a good 5-6 feet away from the intersection of the alley so logically the young man sped up a bit to hurry out of the way so not to interrupt the pedestrian's gait, nor hold up pressing traffic behind him.
Why don't you just run him over?
The wise old man said to the young driver.
That's all it took really for the young man to realize his vulgar, beef-witted, errant driving habits. That and perhaps a bout with momentary enlightenment later.
Many, many years later, this same young man though now not so young, ...attempting to perhaps share similar cognitive reflexes with drivers who had yet to learn such elementary politeness..., pulls into a grocery store parking lot and sees a little old lady who looked like she was using her shopping cart as a walker. Strolling out of the grocery store with a very modest bag of groceries she stops suddenly when HONKHOOOOOONNNNNK! holy sweet baby jesus! WATCH OOOOOOUT! Geez!
Surviving the surprise, Mrs. poor widow continues to push past the open space that SUV was trying to force their way into with a loud blast of the SUV train whistle while creeping up on Mrs. poor widow and finally, gunning it into the space once clear.
Door swings open, bimbo steps out, sunglasses, 32 perhaps, bleached blonde, probably 160 lbs, capri pants, cell phone held against ear, mouth going, purse in hand and she's off! And thar she goes talkin' away and walking briskly towards the grocery and obviously very, very busy with little time for losers like Mrs. poor widow.
"Why don't you just run her over?"
The not so young man says to busy slightly overweight woman in hurry.
"I WASN'T EVEN CLOSE! MIND YOUR OWN GODDAM' BUSINESS!" says woman.
--- and so... a possible lesson from this parable could be...???

don't clobber me, it's not that important!
We met a man, his name was Phil. He said he had to take a pill. I asked him WTF ol’ man? What’s your problem? That your van…? He said the pill would help him chill and swallowed it with beer. “Yep my van. I’m a Vet you see, now just understand.” Hold on a sec, bro. I’ve got a better thing. Just light this puppy up, & hear your heart sing. Then he nearly clobbered me.
He's a lovely friend. But damn if I know why he prefers booze and prozac to a few humble tokes.

What I'd do if I found some money:
Well, let's face it, I've been broke for quite a while now. Don't get me wrong, I feel rich and have too much stuff, but spending money? Well let's just say that the few hundred bucks I found would have been lucky considering the weekend events planned and the reality of my available funds. But there was a problem, the money had an ID with it. Actually that's not a problem but the opposite of a problem. The reality is my lame mind made it a problem because I was tempted for almost two days before I finally drove to the persons home and handed it over. She gave me a hug. And a very long story that at times I'm sorry to report that I tired of enjoying; I mean she was an old lady and even though the lengthy stories were scattered yet filled with accounts of her and her now deceased husband, it took her almost a minute before she could remember his name. Take note on that husbands! :-)
For many this is no big deal. To a broke guy that's been paying bills for a large number of people for over twenty years, well at least this broke guy, it seemed a big deal. And the fact that it was such a big deal really bothered me.
Now one critical thought in my mind said to me that I had been brainwashed into feeling guilt and should keep it because it was good fortune. The guilt of keeping it was programmed into me as a working class dude who is bred to be docile and guilty of sin.
Knowing that just the "optimist" argument wasn't working against this particular thought I decided that any time that critical thought popped up in my mind accusing me of being a guilt-driven idiot I shut that thought down with this one little idea I made up a while ago and still use:
We live in the world we create.
Through our acts.

What I think I am:
I think I'm an ignorant person.
I think I'm an optimist.
I think I'm trying to be a good person.
I think I'm sometimes rude and vulgar.
I think I'm more than stupid animal.
I think I'm in love.
I think I am.
I think I'm very, very, very, very lucky.
I think I have been all my life

What I want:
I want clean water, clean air, a clean home, sunshine, rain, clean fruits and vegetables and most of all that awareness of the grandeur and mystery of the moment. I want to be a clean farmer and learn to be a part of this living system responsibly.
AND FREE TIME TO ENJOY IT!

Isis Inamorata
One of my songs for your beloved memory
Isis Inamorata © IJOSTL - 2008
blue chariot
awash with sotted souls
alert by new found cash and starring in fresh roles
take a turn for the worse
some ire in the muck
daymare in a dream, perhaps
but who could give a fuck
obliged atop such luck
and so it went
night hounding night
Isis inamorata, everywhere in sight
and after all this, what could I do
but champion the cause and try to stay true
blue chariot top down
driving in the air
and now until the bitter end
my love you know I care
for troubadours of chivalry stay true to our sweet prayers

Last Call
One of my songs for your beloved memory
Last Call © IJOSTL - 2008 (Dedicated to My Darling)
You stayed fast, 'till the end of it all
my star-crossed pursuit was a mortal last call
it's a far away down and a very long fall
from finally free, to crusade for a doll
At the foot of a mountain
in that warm summer day
by my troth of a fountain
truth faded away
and the pain of the world
it grew every way
And onward I went
and damned the black soul
in the rapture you lent
playing every role
in futile attempts
at making us whole
My carriage echoed
through her gentle measure
and so the lead
chivied mystic treasure
behind collusion, a ruse
of single-minded pressure
It's a far away down and a very long fall
from the frequency tuned to the source of it all
my star-crossed pursuit was a mortal last call
and you're finally free, my dearest love doll
you stayed fast, 'till the end of it all
and still, all I can do
is thank you

Ted Turner on David Letterman
[updated: see note following initial post]
Dear Mr. Turner,
Regarding your recent appearance on the David Letterman show and specifically where you offered your opinion that people were happier in the 50's when they did not have all the "stuff", I think this is an accurate statement; and where you added that people should perhaps consider having their family members move in together to share a single home, also appears to have been made in the same spirit of reducing want. Both of these I find to be reasonable suggestions.
What I found puzzling however..., was the apparent obliviousness exemplified by your curious exclusion from this spirit of omitting want and materialism from your own circumstances. Yet I'm sorry to say that even worse, seems the neglect of perceiving how you, as one who has acquired so much of this alleged wealth, directly affect the legions of us common folk and our subsequent wants. Forgive me but it appears to me that your position seems to omit yourself from our working class through virtue of this alleged wealth. As if somehow, naturally, this alleged wealth exempts you from the same moral code.
If you wish to assist in the transition of us common class into recognizing true wealth, I think it self-evident that people such as yourself whom have acquired vast "wealth" should be setting examples by exemplifying your commitment to this better world, of a citizenry where priorities are based on love and care and not materialism, through a deliberate and sustained philanthropic reduction of your own acquisitions.
That behavior will affect people's want.
After all, none of us are taking anything with us where we're going.
http://lateshow.cbs.com/latenight/lateshow/
[UPDATE:] Coincidentally...
Coincidentally, this very next day I received a link from a person unfamiliar with my post here to http://www.turnerfoundation.org/. To date as of this writing, the Turner Foundation, Inc. has publicly reported $297,611,800 in grants towards what is claimed to be sustainable and healthy living endeavors and the preservation of ecosystems & biodiversity. The foundation reports that grants are considered on an invitation-only basis and letters of inquiry or unsolicited proposals are not accepted.
To wit, that leaves approx. $1,702,388,200 still available for philanthropic donation Ted.
Just kidding.
I am sure that there are responsibilities indiscernible by an aspiring fruit picker with respect to these figures which become fairly abstract for most. Just the same, it would be wonderful to hear that you simply purchased natural fiber shoes for entire communities; or simply had reps installing fresh water wells where desperately needed; or endeavoring to create sustainable farming practices in communities in need. I maintain that the Turner Foundation, Inc. should not be considered your only commitment towards your philanthropy; and concede that it very well may not be, for I couldn't possibly know what you've been up to.
In any case, the proposition remains that your setting an example of lifestyle change with regard to "want" could be in itself an important part of the healing process.
It's an optimistic consideration.
In conclusion I thank you for the positive philanthropy and only ask that you add to your turnerfoundation.org website (under existing grantees) at least some examples of grant recipients. Currently the website seems to convey exclusivity and secrecy.
Thank you,
ijostl

Arch-amaranthine
One of my songs for your beloved memory
Arch-amaranthine © IJOSTL - August 2007
It was dark
yet there was your love,
fervency in shadow
burning in nullity
arch-amaranthine
In the light
tears in the ocean
and those tears were heaven
love letters painted
graceful in clay
And it seems
not all is well here
ill-favored and frightful
sometimes, by those who've
forgotten the night
Still, your love
deluges suffering,
happiness and heaven
is love amaranthine
at least for awhile

Another eidolon cognizance joins the blogosphere. This time it appears to be an avant-garde neoteric negligible troubadour, with no recognizable political ambitions and yet optimistic in general, and most often one in whose drollery is often found muddling. Malapropisms seem to be a given around these here times.
