Wow, the Israeli military must be very different from the organizations I've run into here if being weak-willed and susceptible to outside influence is regarded as undesirable in a recruit. That was practically the ideal description for prospective ROTC students on my campus.
Joyce: Dawn, you be good. Xander: We will. Just gonna play with some matches, run with scissors, take candy from some guy, I don't know his name.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
Okay, so I was gonna post this in Press, but then felt silly.
I just got my free credit report online, which is a new dealie for certain states, and will be available in all 50 sometime soon.
I was waiting to cringe and find issues, but it only took about ten minutes, and was pretty damned painless and simple. You can check the accuracy of all your credit, file disputes if there's an issue, and if you want to spend six bucks, get your credit score (over 650 puts you in a fair-good category).
It was like going to the dentist and expecting a cavity and lecture on flossing, only to find a clean bill o' health and a free toothbrush.
You're entitled to a free report every year, and you can opt to have it mailed if you dont want to do it online. Check your state's website to see if your state is eligible, and follow the link.
It's a big peace o' mind thing.

Technically, you are entitled to THREE free credit reports every year. One from each Credit Reporting Agency. I just got one myself. I'm going to get a second one in 4 months from another place, and the third one in 8 months.

Stepped away and missed the Alias chatter. Yeah, Frank, I have to admit, in all my slowly backing away from Jack, I'd still be kinda, well... dude gets it done. No. One. messes with Jack in the end. He puts the rest of them to shame .
That scene with the video is still giving me the skeeves. Not that the death-by-garrote scene was exactly mild .
I just bought some tissue-paper-like stuff to wrap my sister's presents with and throw in a hilarioulsy overdone bag. The tape doesnt' stick to the paper. Annoying.

RIP Dick Clark. I can't believe it.

Hiya Gudanov!
And... Dick Clark is dead? No, I don't believe it either. He's supposed to live forever.

I know, really odd. Victor said his newsroom got the alert though the AP hadn't filed their report yet. It's just...odd. Dick Clark was New Year's every year for my entire childhood.

Oh my. I hadn't heard that yet. Dick Clark. As if I didn't feel old enough. American Bandstand was the thing when I was a dancing thing. RIP my friend.
eta: I'd give him the highest mark. Easy to dance to with a good beat.
