You haters. The only thing sillier than hating me is continuing to post in a certain thread that you know better than to post in. Seriously, those guys over there crack me up.
Give that man over there a huge box of +1's. The way I see things: if the adjunct double honors guy feels it's a waste of time to go in there, deliver the smack down and pwn people sideways, then why should I? I'm a non-theist and I see things his way. I have better things to do, like gaze at navels.

No it's not, but we have a plan.
All we have to do to start off is pay her car off. That adds $275 to our monthly income. She throws $150 of that ON TOP of my regular car payment, then my car is paid off in less than 2 years.
It's all good and thought out until someone covets a shiny or someone doesn't watch where they're driving.

Why can't I do that? Why can't I just skip them? WHY!

Violence is not considered a problem because they see it so much in the video games they play that it doesn't bring up questions whose (sp?) answers may be awkward to explain to a ten year old. What was stated would not be a problem but something like the stair scene from A History of Violence would be, I think.

Nah, I'm with ya there... 5 was FUN, like tribbles and Harry Mudd.

Enlighten me.
I honestly don't understand the complaints, I've never had problems there.
Here's the trend I'm seeing. They're replacing cash registers with self-scanners. They think they can squeeze in more of those and have one person monitor each four of those in a way to cut costs. Doing that, they shut down the regular registers. And then people who are not patient to stand in those manned registered lines with their two cart fulls of groceries paid for by the government and their twelve screaming unruly brats decide they think they can move things quicker by taking them through the U-Scan lines.

Jeremy, while I do applaud your effort, you must realize that certain participants have no other purpose than to slam the religious, period. No amount of civility and honest questioning on your part is going to change that.
Thank you for taking the high road though. :)
You'd have better success reasoning with a Shoggoth.

Still have a bunch of Programs to install and Data to copy over, but already Windows 7 is shaping up to be quite good.
And now I have to go out and install 8 computers tomorrow so there goes my afternoon of rejiggering all my settings and getting everything set up back where I like it.
I thought you made sammiches? Did you change job careers without putting me on notice?

I forgot to mention, I put up pictures on facebook of the rest of our Italy trip (Florence, Siena, and Pisa in particular).
As before, if you don't have me friended on FB and want to see them, send me a request (and include a message saying who you are).

Yeah, but I've yet to see a Wal-mart with a Self Check-Out scanner... Might be because of the non-grocery items in the store (like jewelry, clothes, etc.)
