[quote]Trying to make someone understand your p.o.v, and where you're coming from with your way of thinking is stressful![/quote] Especially when most people are too busy pushing their little world views to care about yours.
[quote]Gene, I really would like to talk to you outside this forum about your experience. Please email me at [email protected] I have been trying to get to you for months now. Thanks, jeff[/quote] You're on the agenda, I just got busy. You should get an email sometime before tomorrow evening.
[quote]knitting for quite a while. Quite a while as in over 5 years on the same scarf. A scarf that apparently measures in at possible world record proportions.[/quote] Can you say "obsessive compulsive?" I knew you could.
You probably need to post this under a WC category (like PC Customization, or something), not "blogging."
[quote]And the new name: SEMI. Let me know what you think (and be honest).[/quote] Too vague. Like SanCho said... [quote]SEMI-what? Semi-circle? Semi-social? Semi-psychotic?[/quote] ...except I thought, "A truck? A half hard penis? Semi what?" Then I wondered if it was band members' initials (my friends and I did that in high school to name a software company). [quote]Is it normal for a story to occupy ones thoughts so much?[/quote] Yes
Holy crap.
[quote]Here's the picture, for those who haven't seen it yet, in all its hate-filled jihadist glory:[/quote] That is an ugly scarf. It looks like a strong wind went by and blew a piece of rag onto her neck.
AP had this: [quote]A statement issued Wednesday by Canton, Mass.-based Dunkin' Brands Inc., however, said the scarf had a paisley design, and was selected by a stylist for the advertising shoot. "Absolutely no symbolism was intended," the company said.[/quote] Well, duh. Of course they aren't trying to subliminally support terrorists with every iced coffee. This
[quote]Or the nursing building - also new, also shiny and beautiful.[/quote] Just the way I like my nurses: new, shiny, and beautiful! ;) [quote]but the Humanities make life worth living. It's a subtle difference, but one I appreciate all the same.[/quote] Yep. :CONGRAT:
[quote]Halleluiah. Cthuhlu lives![/quote] Don't let Yog-Sothoth (who's currently pretending to be a duck huddle over at Stardock) hear you say that! :NOTSURE: The ancient ones are all around us. :SNIFF!:
I hear ya. The RCA box I just bought won't recognize its own remote 95% of the time. I'm not sure whether it's a fatal design flaw or a single broken box. Return it for a new one, or go with a different brand? Ugh.
No, I'm not being funny. [quote]The stock market[/quote] [quote]The futures market[/quote] Get it yet? Probably not, since you seem to be reading what you think you wrote instead of what you did write. I'll spell it out for you. They aren't the same thing. And if you keep claiming your son thinks they are or that the price of oil is set on the stock market, all you are doing is damaging your own credibility no matter how
Don't be fooled! Yog-Sothoth wants you to think it is just a harmless duckling huddle! Yog-Sothoth lulls you into a false sense of security! Then Yog-Sothoth takes over your world! Yog-Sothoth is amongst us! Run! Run!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That's what I always look for in a movie: a leading man whose dreamy eyes I can get lost in. :NOTSURE: Oh well, if anyone knew how many bad movies I've sat through just because I thought one of the actresses was hot.... In one of my favorite comic strips ever, the teen son is in a record store asking an employee if an album is any good. The employee tells him, no it's got way too much reverb. "But on the other hand," the employee says, "it does have a hot chick on the cover."
[quote]Well, Republican nominee John Mccain has some fancy section in his website, carefully covering global warming issues. http://www.johnmccain.com/climatechange/[/quote] Shhhhh. Dontcha know John McCain's a "rino" not an elephant? And "only those left of Nancy Pelosi consider John McCain a Conservative." It's common knowledge, really. ;)
[quote]American oil companies are earning grouse profits.[/quote] Grouse profits? Someone's paying for gas with birds? Is that how the oil companies got to be "fat cats?" [quote]It is my belief that we need to go gas free. The only way we can get away from oil companies grouse profiteering is to not need them at all. The oil companies can charge all they want for a gallon of gas and it won't matter if no one is buying their product.[/quote] But, accordi

Do you hear an echo in here? Like we're in some kinda chamber.... [img]http://www.pix8.net/pro/pic.php?u=11443OWBNI&i=1104305[/img] Conservativism hath spoken.
[quote]Societies that indulge perish. Look at the no-longer existing Roman Empire.[/quote] As if all the non indulgent societies in existence at the time of the Romans are still around? (This isn't directed at you, Jesse, but I am so sick of hearing this argument by those predicting America's imminent doom.) [quote]taxi fare rates. I think this in strict violation of the principal of "individual property rights" that built this country.[/quote] How
Hurry up. The loons! The loons! They're welcoming us back. [quote]I wonder how she has continued to live there with that terrible memory living there in her own back yard. But funny thing –there’s two other houses I pass just a little farther down the road where a teenage boy hung himself in his closet and a woman shot herself in her bedroom while her two year old son played in the next room.[/quote] I often wonder that myself. I think I'd walk away and never return to s
[quote]It balances out, because I shouldn't be both sexier in person and in my car. That just wouldn't be fair to you.[/quote] Oooooo, cold! :LOL: Congratulations on the new wheels. :CONGRAT:
I'm officially over Trek. I couldn't care less about the new movie. I recently borrowed the TOS DVD's from the library and couldn't be bothered to watch them all, even after 2 months. There was a time I'd have watched them all within a week. Favorite: The original. 2nd Favorite: Voyager. Least Favorite TNG. Awful show, IMHO. From the ground up it showed what a hack Gene Roddenberry really was. [quote]George Takai is pretty good about it though.[
[quote]People are not war weary.[/quote] Yes, they are. [quote]Laura Ingraham[/quote] I find her politics abhorrent, but I think she's hot, so I used to listen to her anyway just to be swept away.... (New To-do List item: Get a girlfriend. Heck, get two. Could always use a spare.)
[quote]she might still let me live there if I did a crimanal background check, credit check and paid a pet deposit on top of the security deposit.[/quote] That's where you should have walked. Anyone that cranky is going to make you jump through hoops about everything, and it probably still won't be good enough for them. That's not someone you want to deal with. Don't be so desperate for a place that you put yourself in a bad position. Evaluate the prospective land
It would have to be one of those Star Trek games with the ASCII "graphics," where you enter in commands at a command line prompt, flying around a grid to fight a Klingon invasion and defend starbases. Something like this: [link="http://cplus.about.com/od/starttrekconversion/ss/startrekproject.htm"]http://cplus.about.com/od/starttrekconversion/ss/startrekproject.htm[/link] Or this (playable version?): [link="http://members.aol.com/rrobe71907/stgwb.htm"]http://members.aol.com/rro
