Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Birthday Happies, Sean!
ION, we are getting new computers at work next week. I'll get rid of my current dual-monitor setup, and replace it with quad-monitors (with two monitors placed above the other two).
Also, instead of my three work computers (and a KVM switch) I'll have one computer with virtualization so I can still have multiple computers set up.
That will rock muchly.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Cute house. But you don't want to live in the suburbs.

It looks like a nice house. It would be about 1/5th that price in my suburban town though. Yikes.

Tarrytown! For suburbs, you could do worse. (I lived in Ossining, NY for a year. It's really beautiful around the Hudson.)

Huh.
You know them. I know them. And, increasingly, psychiatrists know them. People who feel they have been wronged by someone and are so bitter they can barely function other than to ruminate about their circumstances.
This behavior is so common -- and so deeply destructive -- that some psychiatrists are urging it be identified as a mental illness under the name post-traumatic embitterment disorder. The behavior was discussed before an enthusiastic audience last week at a meeting of the American Psychiatric Assn. in San Francisco.
The disorder is modeled after post-traumatic stress disorder because it too is a response to a trauma that endures. People with PTSD are left fearful and anxious. Embittered people are left seething for revenge.
"They feel the world has treated them unfairly. It's one step more complex than anger. They're angry plus helpless," says Dr. Michael Linden, a German psychiatrist who named the behavior.
I'm not seething for revenge. Good. No post-traumatic embitterment disorder for me....

“Not dead yet!”
The suburbs aren't bad...
Nope, they really aren't. I'd like mine even more if it was a suburb of a real city. And I like my house here, but I loved my house in Hudson even better.

Because books.
Aw, that's a CUTE house, Jessica. I love a front porch.
