Could be worse. They could have replaced it with the worst fake redneck of the Blue Collar Comedy guys yammering on in a horrible fake Southern accent about Amurrika. History Channel should be ashamed of themselves for greenlighting that sorry mess.
I have ten experiences here (one of us didn’t have a license) saying it’s easier to flip everything.
Aw, dammit - I ran out of the house this morning without slipping on my rings, and now my hands feel naked. Bah.
You take your rings off to sleep? Pervert.
Dear McAfee…
No, sorry.
Dear Bastages. Oh, and my company IT. I think I’ve figured out that your solution to keep viruses/malware off of corporate machines is to make sure they’re so bloody slow that you can’t actually do anything on them. That has to be a reason you’ve specified a full scan every single day, right in the early afternoon, which gobbles up all of my CPU time for hours and makes things so that the simple act of clicking on anything requires a 30 second wait before anything happens.
And the shrieking of the cooling fan is just icing on the cake. It’s to the point where I’m about to go sharpen a pencil and shove it in my ear. “Why,” you might ask? To distract myself from the pain. 'Cos if I’m going to hurt that bad, I’m gonna do it to myself.
Could be one of them preverts who doesn’t like to get soap on the rings in the shower, and so removes them.
I’d suggest that we work for the same company, except I know that this is a common policy put in place by people who don’t actually understand computer security but like to be able to tell their clients that they’re doing something.
What is ***wrong ***with you?!
A local high schooler collapsed and died after a basketball game this week. The local news has been oh-so sensitive about showing raw footage of coaches and EMTs clustered around him on the court. Now they’ve decided to show real class and shove cameras in the faces of his grief stricken teammates.
Traumatized 16-year-olds struggling to keep it together. Stay classy, local news.
$17,000 for your wedding dress, and you’re shopping for another one to top your first one (two weddings, one in Nigeria and one in Toronto)? This woman is making me ill. She’s having a $500,000 wedding, apparently. I know we have a lot of people here from the school of thought that if her family can afford it, go nuts, but I find wasting money like this offensive.
Well if all she wants to do is outdo the last one I’ll sell her mine for 20k. Hope she doesn’t mind that I bought it for $200.
You know what, Mrs. Chef? I love you and I’m SOO grateful that you put up with my character flaws, but you really need to back the fuck off about my messy office. If I fall short in keeping the rest of the house up to your standards, you have some basis for complaining, but my office is MINE. If I want it to look like a dumpster that just rolled down a hill, that’s my damned business.
I never have understood this mind set - a wedding is one day in your life, why spend piles of money? Unless $500,000 happens to be a drop in the bucket for you, which I assume is not for most of us.
I don’t see it as wasting money. A wedding should ideally be a once-in-a-lifetime special day. The union of two people, until death do you part…Other than the birth of a child, I can see no greater reason to celebrate until the cows come home. If she can afford it, more power to her.
Not trying to argue, just showing another POV.
Jesus, it sounds like my undergrad IT degree. As part of the graduation requirements, you had to have co-op job experience of like 1200 hours before you could graduate. The only problem was that the program had like 500 students and the co-op job database only ever had like 250 jobs. So every year a ton of kids would be left out in the cold and the oh-so-helpful staff would just repeat the mantra of “You’re supposed to find a co-op by yourself.”
Did I mention this was in 2001-2003, when the IT industry was shedding jobs like a bad skin rash?
So yeah, I just ended up having my boss at my then job change my job description to sound a lot more computer-oriented and I got credit that way.
I am not going to stop watching house porn, but for the love of the Flying Spaghetti Monster:
Househunters -
You are looking at buildings put up in Calabria 500 years ago. Listen to your agent.
*The bedrooms will be small - How the fuck much time do you spend awake in your bedroom [unless you are humping like bunnies on a honeymoon] There will be NO closets - they used garderobes back then, or presses, or wardrobes. If you do get a walk in closet, it was converted from another room.
*The bathroom, it was not built in originally, they crapped into pottery vessels hidden inside furniture or shoved under beds and bathed in metal basins brought in for the occasion or went to the town bathouse. Any bathroom was put into a room converted. There will be no ensuite unless they bash down a wall between another room and the bedroom.
*There was no kitchen like what you expect today, they used fireplaces and braziers. Any kitchen was put in within the last hundred years or so. It will probably be small, and inconvenient. If it is huge and lovely, then it is brand new.
*The floorplan will probably be strange. Frequently there were no hallways, rooms opened off other rooms. The house may be built on a cliff face, making the hallways actually stairways between the rooms. The ceilings may be very LOW or hugely tall. They did not have standardized sizes for anything, carpenters, masons and plasterers worked ad lib.
*You can either live on a hillside somewhere and have a killer view, or down on the beach. You can not have both.
*And to those looking for a place in San Francisco [or any other city like Berlin]
It is a fucking city, there will be neighbors and street sounds. If you want wide open spaces and quiet, move to a suburb.
My husband is on a business trip 500 miles away and his insane boss is backstabbing him and he has no support except for me on the phone. I feel so helpless and I want to go over to that weasel’s house and punch him in the face. My poor husband has another week of this. :mad:
Translation: You can live on a hillside and watch your house slide downhill after an especially rainy year or you can live on the beach and watch your house get demolished by the next hurricane.
Well, she wanted one that was encrusted with crystals from top to bottom - get sewing! 
Just wait until you start planning one - then spend one day with everything going by so fast you hardly even remember what happened, and pay the bills for it for months afterwards - your opinion might change. 
Beyond vermin and smells, my husband and I each have our own room in the house where we are free to do what we like with it - I don’t clean his room or bug him about it, and he doesn’t care how many butterfly objects I have in mine. You can tell your wife about our arrangement if you like.
LOL Pretty much =)
I would love to have that $200 000+ for a budget for my primary home, let alone a vacation home I might get to for a grand total of 3 weeks a year.
Although this guy bought an absolutely killer resort condo that has amenities like you wouldn’t believe in Bali - and he rents it out the weeks he isn’t there for like a thousand a week. I believe it cost him $280 000. Not bad, making the vacation place pay for itself.
Speaking of weddings, why do they bring the worst out in people? Family members are sniping at each other over Facebook now, since they’ve exhausted the phone calls and texts. It’s worse when they drag innocent people into the mess and twist things around to make them look the victim.
Ugh, at least it’s over after Saturday.
