I should be finishing up my first draft of a paper/article and putting on some makeup so I don't look like a washed out EEKface at my hair appt at 3. Instead I am eating Haagen-Dazs choco chip cookie dough ice cream out of the container and feeling kinda sad.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

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
Thanks for sharing the good stuff!

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I've just decide to have a baking day on Sunday - invite some peeps I have not seen in a while and make cookies and banana bread and sit and chat and drink tea and coffee.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
OK, I think I hate the new DVR. Annoying!
What is the problem? My DVR annoys me because it is a four year old hard drive at this point, but a new one should not annoy!
Also, as for Yasuhito wanting to be a grownup, it seems like the kind of thing kids do-- playing house and all that.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
And, lo, the ER has been told to expect me, the cab has been called, and a ride back (hopefully they won't admit me) has been arranged for.
So I'm good for the next little while.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
My biggest fear -- that somehow the Section 30 which will let me use my Unemployment benefits while I'm in full-time school this year would be revoked -- is unfounded. Which means they can't take school away from me. And there's a slim possibility that there actually are training funds that will pay off part of the loan I've taken out, which would be a bonus for sure, but I cabn get by just fine without it.
So, definitely good news there, and one less reason for me to hold my breath.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I hope things go satisfactorily, ita.
What is the problem?
It's slow as hell to do anything, you can't set a show to only record at a certain time (like, I want to tape one "How It's Made" a day, not four!), and it doesn't seem to have a good enough knowledge of what's new and what's a repeat. Stupid technology.
Edit: Oh, and! When you're in the guide and hit A, it doesn't go to 100 -- it goes to some stupid menu. Which trick you taught me, I think.

Excellent news, Theo!

Jesse, I had to do a workaround for Daily Show that you might be able to use. Go into whatever manual record function you have and set it to record a specific channel at a specific time of day, not tied to whatever the listings show. Should work, though once in a while you get something you don't expect.

There is an option to have it only tape a specific channel at a specific time. I can't remember exactly how to get to it, but I think it's List--> the c button--> click on the show, and it gives you a bunch of options (you should be able to do a similar thing when you set it to tape from the Guide-- it should give you something where you can tape it whenever it comes on, or tape it only at that time). There is an additional option to only keep one episode at a time, or to only tape on one day of the week. The slowness might be it downloading data. It should not be that slow. I don't have that big a problem with repeats/new shows.
