....And I've just stabbed my other thumb with a name label pin.  I'm pretty sure I hit the bone.

What's got two thumbs and goes "argh" when trying to do the "who's got two thumbs and somethingorother" gag-

Argh!

Dude! What's the deal with you and your thumbs?

They're the source of all our ills.  Once they became opposable, everything went to shit.

Arg, I supposed well, now that they're opposable, at least I stand an Abel chance at not being just opposed :lulz:

My old home tops the list of safest places to drive...Boston bottoms:

Portland comes in the lower quarter (177 out of 200). I have contributed to that.

This isn't news for anyone who lives in New England. I take my life into my own hands every time I get behind the wheel.

That's because You People are all CRAZY.  I have been there twice, and I wouldn't trust ANY of you bastards with anything more than one of those Shriner cars.

You're just not SERIOUS about having a good time.

I almost got run over at the train station.  Not in the street by the train station.  I was at the train station, safely on the sidewalk (ha HAha hahahahaHAHAHAHA), and damn near got squished.

Well, I am now a great uncle, as my niece delivered something this morning.  I find this to be very inconsiderate, as I remember my great uncles as being fantastically old men who would have been about...um...45 when I was born.

It's still bullshit.

Anyway, say hello to Ailie Victoria, who seems less than amused by the whole turn of events.

That baby looks nothing like Churchill.  I'd get your niece to demand her money back.

Bleh.  Had to do some emergency last-minute edits and additions to my Parliamentary submission.  Literally just sent them a moment ago...hopefully, not too late for the deadline.  If not, the previous draft should suffice...apparently, they wanted citations.  Parliament wants evidence?  Who knew?

Anyway, it's done.

I think the baby and I are in agreement that the whole thing was a bad idea.

Also, Churchill is stage 2.  For about a week and a half, they resemble lizards of some sort.  THEN Churchill.

I think that's the "I'm cold out here, must formulate plan to get back to base" look.

And thanks.

Grills are really finicky. Is there a problem with the oven?

Yes, there wasn't one.  It came out okay in the end and was delicious.

Just a few more weeks.

My ex told me he is going around telling people that the other night, when I went to the kitchen for some ice and he was standing in there naked, I looked at him like he was going to rape me. And how insensitive that makes me.

I have no idea what night this was supppsed to be. When he told me this is what he was telling others it led to a very stupid discussion wherein I said I didn't think he'd do that and he replied by asking me what was wrong with him disrespecting my boundaries if I wasn't worried about rape.

I told him he was seriously fucked up and needed therapy. Then he asked if we were still friends. I left.

Later, I asked my roommate about the convo since he said he told her. She says that convo never happened.

So he is making stuff up to talk to me about rape.

Good to know.

What the shit?   :eek:

I am looking for a new laptop for school.  There are too many options, and I can't even anymore.

Some suggestions would be appreciated.  I need Microsoft Office to run on it, it needs to be hard-wearing, and multiple CPU eating tasks have to run on it at the same time without it going HRRGRK.

I got this alert this weekend:

" On August 29, 2014 at approximately 5:00 pm, a female UNH student reported that at 1:45 am on Garrison Avenue in the area Strafford Avenue and Madbury Road, 3 white males described as ?military looking? pulled up to her in a tan 4 door sedan with South Carolina plates, 2 of the males got out of the vehicle and tried talking the female student into going with them. The males took the female student by the arm and tried moving her to the vehicle. The males opened the trunk of the vehicle trying to get the female into the trunk. Some male friends of the female student came along and the male suspects got back in the vehicle and left area. The female student was not injured. "

The fun never stops! He's going to Texas for two weeks, in theory to talk to a chronic illness advocate he knows from the intarnets. Which makes no sense since they talk online. I think something else is up but I don't care, he'll be gone.

So enjoy with that, you Texas PD-ers. Hide yo kids, hide yo wife.

That's less of an alert and more "Attempted kidnapping". I'm guessing fuck all gets done until someone shows up dead.
Nine naked Men just walking down the road will cause a heap of trouble for all concerned.

Anything by Samsung or Toshiba.  Ideally you want 4 gig of RAM, at least an intel core i5 processor and, if your preferences run that way, Windows 7 as opposed to Windows 8.

You should be able to score a fairly cheap laptop with those specs, which will work exceptionally well as an all purpose web browser and word processing laptop. 

Mine is similar to that (slightly more RAM, two rather than one integrated graphics card, Samsung, Windows 7) and I can run Windows Media Player, have 20 tabs open on Firefox, have Word open, have uTorrent open, have Microsoft Security, Steam and Origin running in the background, and have no discernible notice on the laptop itself.
