I positively suck at following maps. I was told in college I may have discalculia (or whatever it's called) and that makes map reading very difficult. It took me 40 minutes to find a place 3 miles from my house. I made it to my destination (FedEx shipper) by spotting a one of the trucks and following it.
No Orienteerng merit badge for you then. :-)

I wasn't permitted to view that show as a youth, on account of it being "violent". Me and my brother feigned ill and contagious to watch an episode while the parent was at church. Got caught in the act, too. For all the risks we took, I don't remember a thing about the show any more . . .

Sigh.
I was sick earlier this week. I thought I gave myself food poisoning when I made some homemade meatballs. (The ground turkey smelled questionable, but the date said good,... so,...) :P
Yep, I won't do that again!
>_<
Turns out I must have picked up a stomach bug from somewhere. My wife got it yesterday. She was up ALL night. :P
(NOT how she wanted to get a 3-day weekend from work)
Stoopid tummy bugs. Go away.
Welp, time to go and soak the entire house in Lysol!

I think I saw it when I was 4 or something. I don't really remember anything, but I think it's Samurai Jack levels of violence.

Sorry about the flu-bug Rags~ look on the bright side you are making the human herd stronger. That is if you pass on your genes. "I don't know anything about birthing any babies!"
Magehunter, I loved Samuri Jack. I have a high threshold for violence, so if violence is relevant to the story then it was ok. I was a murder-hobo from the days of Greyhawk.

Samurai Jack WAS awesome.
Even that shortened final season they made was good, just too rushed.
Samurai jack made people want to be Samurai again, instead of ninjas!
;P
Yeah, I dont know WHAT the heck is trying to take out my family from the inside. But it's getting old really quick. :P
I've done passed on ALL of the genes I plan on passing down. Thank you.
My oldest has already given me grandkids, and my youngest still has 3 more years left of High school.
I'm WAY too old to be waiting ANOTHER 18+ years before I can retire!
>_<

Day 2 without a computer. I can hear them at night, scratching and rustling inside the walls. I see them in the darkened corners of rooms in my house or sitting on shelves mocking me. Books. Books everywhere.

Far be it from me to criticize someone for venting to the internet - the hypocrisy would be palpable. Sometimes one just needs to confirm that the people out there care. I guess what I'm saying is: don't self-censure out of fear that we don't want to hear it when you're having a piss-poor day. The people out here care.

Vankyre,
It didn't hurt to breathe so much as it was a constant twinge/pull around my left armpit/left breast. (Yes guys have breasts...) But I assumed it was intercostal since if it was a heart attack, I'm pretty sure I'd have been dead like last Tuesday...
The upper ones aren't *as* bad. The lower ones that are closer to your diaphragm are a bear when they get pulled.
You probably did it while walking an overactive pup.

I keep reading "intracoastal muscles" which I can only assume is the name of a fitness chain along the ICW.

...venting to the internet...
Wait... you can vent... to the INTERNET?!
THIS CHANGES EVERYTHING!
I've got a few things I want to get off my chest...
*72 hours later*
...and squirrels? What the hell? Where do they get the nerve...
*184 hours later*
...with a casaba melon until one or both of us is dead and then...
*227 hours later*
...spleen spleen spleen spleen spleen spleen spleen spleen spleen...
*495 hours later*
...eaten in days, but there's just so much more to go. Like Circus Peanuts. You know exactly what I mean...

Hi. I'm Quibblemuch's court-appointed caretaker. He'll be taking an internet break for the foreseeable future. But he wanted me to tell you "'Apple Jacks don't even taste like apples' is scientifically demonstrably the most nonsensical ad campaign in history."

Considering I have SEVERAL over active dogs that I care for (two of whom are my own) it's entirely possible. So far no lower ones...probably because my gut is already at its max. :p ;)
quibble,
I wish it was. Then I wouldn't have gone there. Mostly because my exercise consists of walking. I only run when I'm being chased by something trying to kill/eat/do bodily harm to me.

Hmmm. No news today of the desktop PC being shipped (I was told it would be) and I get an email saying the laptop has not arrived at it's repair center. I'll have to call them tomorrow with the tracking number.
I smell cyber shenanigans a-brewin'. If this keeps up it will be back to stone knives and bear skins around here.

I'll get right on it, just as soon as I finish repairing the cou--I mean, car. What's probably happened is your token ring needs to be uploaded. Maybe blown out. If that doesn't work, I'll have to defrag your motherboard. Figure 500 in parts... 350 in labor... call it 1400 even.
Deal! Do you accept pay in IOUs and wheedling excuses?

Nope. And I oughta monkey pounce you just for suggesting it.
I do however, accept Red Bull and banana brandy. It's a little cocktail I like to call a King Kong.

I finally got some good computer news today. My desktop unit arrives tomorrow. Not only did they replace the video card they installed a second hard drive; a solid state one!
The laptop didn't arrive at the HP repair center until today, with 2 days of warranty to spare! So just under the wire. Whew!
DungeonmasterCal |
Welp, desktop computer came home today and it won't open Windows. The unit boots up fine but that's it. Spent 2 hours on the phone with the very tech who repaired and even tested it 6 times before shipping it back. Both of us tried absolutely everything we could think of to no avail. He feels really awful about it and I believe him. So as a last ditch effort he's mailing me a thumb drive with the recovery program on it. He even gave me his personal phone number to work on the computer if the drive arrives on Saturday. Very frustrated. Coupled with somehow hurting my knee more I'm ashamed to admit I broke down. I wish I could still drink. It's been a crapgasmic day.
Sorry to be such a downer today, guys. I see my new shrink tomorrow so she'll be the one to listen to me drone on.
