You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Man, I have the worst case of the don't-wannas.

Nor do I have guacamole.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I now freeze avocados. chunk them or smoosh them and put in some lemon juice - they've done great.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I don't know if I need to call Time Warner or Jaguar PC.

For what it's worth, I lost my TW a few minutes ago. (I just reset my air thingy).

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Time Warner blows nasty, sweaty balls. Possibly pox-ridden. I cannot believe how often I have to reboot my cable box, how badly my dvr works and how often channels just randomly don't work. Their app to watch some channels live on my phone if I am on my own network is pretty awesome but I am just twitching to cancel them otherwise. Oddly, my internet hasn't had any issues so far as I can remember. Not that any of that is applicable to ita !, I just wanted to bitch.

but who she is today is an anal neat/control-freak.

Your private business is just that then, private.

I dislike having my business aired in public.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I like to think that she could/would be doing things like succumbing to fads and liking stuff her parents can not understand, things that are speaking to the freedom from consequences and carefree day to day lives. Justin Bieber posters over her wall would be great.

This just made me tear up the tiniest bit, so, yeah, I'm with you.

Hey, can I crowdsource some error checking? Can folks here hit my email domain website? And what IP address comes up when you ping it? What about [link] ?

What do you mean by "ping it"? I went to both websites and they both loaded fine for me (Windows 8 [I think?], Firefox).

Liese, I LOVE your hair!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Julie, why do you need to tell your boss what you're doing on your day off? If you were going to the museum, would you tell them? To get a boob job? Sleep? You can do anything you want, can't you? Or are you asking for a favour? If you have the time off, I don't see how it's anyone's b

Mine fucking resets itself and turns itself off. I want to kill it.

"Ping" is literally ping--if you don't know the command, that's cool.

TWC gave me some ridiculous runaround bullshit that made it two phone calls instead of one, but it looks like it's not them--from some angles I can hit my site, from others, no.

So now I'm on hold with my website provider.

It's kind of weird--I drew from memory a scene that was supposed to take place in my English high school (no one knows the college answer? I will go to unAmerican), and I realise I have a really specific image of "school chair" that I'm pretty sure we didn't even have in most of the school. Am I imagining a university chair? I do not know. But it came with specific (not sure if *right*, but specific visuals--in blue or orange, stackable, this. That's not a chair I made up, right? I can almost feel the rubbled top surface (the underside and back are smooth).

think I'm going to beat my sister's WWF FOF two out of three! I still don't know any of the words she plays, but the tiles have been kind--if she played less cagily there wouldn't be room for a seven letter word this late in the game. But the top half of the board was almost empty. ::crosses fingers::

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am familiar with that chair. I think of them as going in the cafeteria, or multipurpose room, and getting stacked in the corners a lot. Yeah, blue or orange.

I associate it with Elementary more than higher grades, I'm not sure why.

Because books.

Those chairs were a little more junior high or middle school in my experience, but I know exactly what kind of chair you mean.

I know why, I think! In high school we had chairs with the desk top attached on one side in pretty much every class but science labs.
