That's lovely.
Well got my next bit of homework done. Now on to the next after that. A monkey's work is never done....
Have I mentioned how much I like my new job? It is so much more relaxing that having to deal with the hospital

Glad to hear that this job is better than the other one.
You might enjoy this one Patrick.

~grumbles~ I hate being broke. Especially with being behind added to it.
Yup. I hear that. Even with a check on Friday, I am back to roughly $46 in liquid cash. However. Two checks are incoming this week. Pretty darn big ones. I won't have enough to save any, but the worst of my bills should be over
~sighs~ It doesn't help that the wife doesn't work and I have to pay my bills, her bills, the pets related stuff, and anything else. ~sighs again~ It was so much easier when I was single and had one pet.
Despite not having seen my ex-wife in almost a year, I still have to pay her student loan. Because I was foolish enough to co-sign it for her.
Although I must say I am much happier being sole captain of my financial vessel. My ex was a spendthrift and a waster. It really irritated me how much food she would toss out. And the cigarette bill. two packs a day at $10.25/per. Now I might have bills, but I am slowly climbing towards financial self-sufficiency.

I am proud of you.
~sighs~ despite my whining, I do have a good wife. She respects me (for the most part) but it does suck being the only paycheck. Of course I have my own part in our financial issues.
~sighs~ I think one of the things that upsets me about the financial difficulties that we are having is that most of them are on my plate. I am the one in charge of the money so it is my responsibility to manage it well. I guess depression as well as being part ostrich and magpie does not help when dealing with money.

I am going to try to have a New York City trip sometime next year or the year after. I want to have it in the late summer so I can rub Freehold DM's nose in the warm weather. ~wicked smile~ I now have a feeling that he will be unavailable during the trip. Hopefully you and David and CH and anyone else in the area will be able to join me.

I'm always up for a NYC trip. I'd love to visit your neck of the woods sometimes. Savannah's history and architecture always fascinated me

You are always welcome down here in the swamp. Just be ready for heat and humidity.
I'll definitely be travelling in January, lol
Boy, we had about two hours of sunshine yesterday. That was the first sun we'd had in a week. Now we are back to full clouds and cold <brr>
I don't think I have ever been visited by the suck fairy. Closest thing was when I got an edited copy of The Girl Who Owned a City, and discovered it was NOTHING compared to the unedited version.
I too made my save.

Kindle Fire Games
Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic I (requires 5 GBs of space)
Plants vs Zombies
Rebuild I - III
Minecraft (Has a clunky interface. I prefer the X-Box 360 version)
Angry Birds
Angry Birds Rio
Plague Inc.
Star Traders
Any of the Spiderweb Software gamesNetflix and Amazon Prime also work on it.
I would add Angry Birds Epic. It's basically turn-based combat adventure. You build up multiple birds in your party. They each have different classes and weapons (including special sets) you can find/win/purchase, with special defenses and attacks depending on how you equip them (except for their rage chili powers, which are always the same for each bird).
I first started playing it on my phone because we had downloaded it for the boy's kindle and I wanted to know enough to be able to help him through it. Turns out, I really enjoy the game as well.
It really irritated me how much food she would toss out.This is one of the banes of my existence these days. My kids waste so much damn food.
Although there was never more than three people eating, she would make massive Brobdingnagian multi-course meals. Then she would never want to ever eat leftovers. So hundreds of dollars a month ended up sliding into the trash can.

Yup. Nowadays I generate one bag of trash a week. When I lived with her it was 1/day-half of it usually a pan of something left over too long
DIY SCanning Electron Microscope.
I really want to make this, but it is a few years away. Materials, the equipment to make it, and most of all the room to store it.

Now I imagined (much oversized) Icky sitting in the front left seat of a car with his head out of the windows with his tongue stuck out in his usual photogenic fashion in the wind when you are speeding on an empty highway.

Are kids simply throwing around food and stomping it before anyone noticed it on the floor destroying or just leaving too much? In the later you might try to giving them smaller portions (though spread across the plate so they will see full plate, not a narrow pile in the middle). It's less wasteful to put too small portion and then add more if they want more than putting too much at once and having leftovers on the plate.
Coincidentally yesterday I went with a friend and her kids to a restaurant where you pick what you want on the plate and it's weighed at the register and you pay per weight of meal.
The six year boy got his serving, ate it, and asked for more (though mom had to finish his lemonade), sensibly picking a small piece of fried chicken (he explicitly stated that the first two pieces I showed him were too big) and devouring it quickly. His big sister (13th? Oh, wait, I think she'll be fourteen after Christmas... how that time flies) left a piece of her lasagna she couldn't fit. Sometimes it's easy to overestimate how much you can eat at the moment. Thankfully uncle Drejk was here to help.

Being an American isn't a guarantee of riches. Although we do have many more opportunities to make it happen.
Plus, living in America isn't cheap. My rent is ridiculous, and basic services are painful to pay for. Plus, you pretty much have to own a car unless you live in a city. There's no way to get around it.

I'm rather proud that since I've lived on my own I've thrown out very little in foodstuffs. But, if I make something like pulled pork and rice or spaghetti sauce I freeze it and eat it for days. I have no issue with leftovers.
It's cultural. Some people do not believe in eating leftovers, others swear by it. There is always going to be some friction when these groups meet.
The leftoverites are just untrustworthy. I mean, you learn that eventually when dealing with them.

Stew-type dishes improve with age. 2-day old beef stew is much better than fresh. Chili is better. Nom.
Which is better (more attractive, more eye-catching) for a logo for a company with initials IA, the blocky one or the rounded one?
I'll definitely be travelling in January, lol
Enjoy the torrential rain...

Ehhh... the second one? Personally, I'd go with a squared-off sans-serif font. The rounded edges look a little weird to me. What is this for?

When I was a child, my mother told me to clean the plate, because "children are starving in Europe." And I wanted to keep the children from starving in Europe, so I would clean the plate, four, five, six times a day. But I was wrong. They kept starving, and I got fat.It really irritated me how much food she would toss out.This is one of the banes of my existence these days. My kids waste so much damn food.
Yep. My mother, May the Divine Architect be kind to her soul, was of the Great Depression Generation. Which mean that wasting food was one of the worst Cardinal sins. Right up there with buy name-brand anything. To this day I have a phobia about leaving food on a plate. It has not served me well over the years ...

Savannah + winter = cold and wet. And god help us all if they get a dusting of snow. Total pandemonium.

My company. I'm building it from shapes in Photoshop. I need to print up a few cards at home before a shindig on Friday, and need a simple, clean logo.
