An old guy just knocked on my door. His asked about shovelling snow--most of the stuff on our sidewalk has melted away. But instead of just asking outright, he launched into a long, drawn out sob story about how the studen loans from the local community college wasn't coming through until the 3rd and he was looking for "anything just to help me out". And he didn't have a snow shovel.
I gave the last $4 in cash I had to DH this morning for work. I told him I didn't have ANY cash on me and he rolled his eyes and said, "yeah, whatever."
Dude--DO NOT come panhandling at my fucking front door and then give me attitude. Just because I live in a house does not mean I am rich or have cash to give out to strangers.
Is Apple ever known for discounts?
I don't think I've ever seen any Mac product (including computers) on sale in a non-Apple store, unless it was a discontinued product.
edit for clarity....
Colin Farrell was adorable. I don't know how long he can work what he's working, but I'm glad he's worked out to work it.
Seconded. I kept squealing everytime he moved, or talked, or looked adorable, or breathed in and out. The man is hotness itself, as far as I'm concerned, even if I would want to delouse him and cover him in latex before fondling.
And I adore and worship my iPod. The only hassle factor was a weekend spent ripping CDs, but I actually enjoyed that part, because I'm a dork. Now I just leave it on shuffle and let it play all day.(Last four songs: "Orpheus beach" by the Go-Betweens, "Precious Things" by Tori Amos, "Cool for Cats" by Squeeze and "Mysterious Ways" by U2.)

Damn, wow. "Yeah, whatever"? Be glad you get anything at all, you freak.

I'm perfectly willing to help somebody out when I can--but that kind of thing just pissed me right off and makes me far less likely to give to the next poor guy that happens along my path.
I just get fed-up with agressive panhandlers who demand that I stop and talk to them. Also don't like the panhandlers who threaten to kill me because I didn't give them money.
It's cool for ca-ah-ah-ats.
Those of you who know the song are now earwormed. Squeeze rules.
Thanks, tommyrot. It's been so long since I've lived in the Mac universe, I'd forgotten what it was like. The last Mac I owned was a IIsi. I had to give up the Apple when I went to law school--Lexis/Nexis and Westlaw had little functionality on that platform. Now I'm too lazy to switch back.
Hmm, maybe I should get the Mac mini instead. I also want the new Motorola Razr v3 cell phone and a new iPaq, so I may have issues.

I may have issues.
Hey, it's not so bad. Join the club.
I have blood on my hands.
Well, more on my right thumb, but I don't know where it came from. I don't think I'm in pain. Well, not bleedy pain, anyway. And I don't think I've touched anyone else in the last twenty minutes.
