Guard Dog Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 Hey, I think there might be a football game on today. I seem to remember hearing something about that around all the hoopla about commercials and halftime shows. 2 "While it is true you learn with age, the down side is what you often learn is what a damn fool you were before" Thomas Sowell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enoch Posted February 2, 2014 Share Posted February 2, 2014 (edited) Parents showed up this weekend with a carload of hand-me-down baby stuff that my niece has outgrown. Dad and I worked on electrical and handyman stuff (upgrading some ancient outlets, installing a ceiling fan, cutting up my old office desk and using it as material for new closet shelves), while my wife and mother assembled baby equipment and laundered tiny clothing. So the kid's room is coming together, and overall baby-preparedness is rising. The downside is that I am posting this from my new home office & gaming PC location in the basement. Edit: Oh, and if anybody recalls the drama last week with the cell phone I ordered that never arrived? Turns out that it was not stolen-- FedEx simply took a full week to make an "overnight" delivery, and lied about it on their website.

LadyCrimson Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 P.S. Hoffman died? That sucks. Especially the method, if true. Hardly older than I am. Certain drugs one should just say no to, always. Always. I'm so flu-sick it's not even funny. But at least I can mostly breathe so I don't think I'm on swine-flu's death door. Just omg...so weak/dizzy/aching. Isolated myself in this room, surrounded by otc meds. I was disappointed Thera-Flu seems to be gone (hubs went to 3 stores, couldn't find any). Also, it can be really difficult, apparently, to get any cold meds WITHOUT any tylenol (or aspirin - I can't take aspirin) in it. I prefer Advil (joint pain/swelling) and don't want to double-up. “Things are as they are.

LadyCrimson Posted February 3, 2014 Author Share Posted February 3, 2014 I have no problem paying for some stuff that benefits all. In fact some things, I'd be willing to pay even more than we already do. That said, I do often have a difficult time believing where my taxes are actually being spent is truly what they say it's being spent on. I also still firmly dislike the US self-employment Soc.

Raithe Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Hm, idling along a little. Doing a bit of work related reading, took a momentary break to see what Mirror's Edge is like, then dabbled in a bit more reading. A friend wants me to help quiz them later on some Biochem stuff they're learning, trying to get the grades needed to get into Nursing school. Hm and an author's latest story is out on amazon in a few hours, I might have to keep an eye on that. First of all.. fresh tea. Possibly something for a lunchtime snack too.

Gorgon Posted February 3, 2014 Share Posted February 3, 2014 Everywhere is the same if you don't have strong feelings about political borders and nation states one way or the other. Well, not the same, rather American identity doesn't belong to just Americans anymore. Globalization and everything. I know lots of people who go to superbowl parties and eat burgers and drink beer who have never been there and have only a cursory understanding of the rules. 1 Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER.

Can't argue with the numbers, though, so don't take it too personally. It's funny because I have nothing but nice things to say about the Americans I've had contact with... you guys really need to take back your country. OT: Slept late, took it easy with the iron, watched some free physics lectures from MIT.

Agiel Posted February 4, 2014 Share Posted February 4, 2014 Yesterday some good Samaritan left a note on my windshield telling me that someone had backed into my rear bumper while it was parked, and against all odds managed to get the license plate number. Today, I got rear-ended at a red light. Quote “Political philosophers have often pointed out that in wartime, the citizen, the male citizen at least, loses one of his most basic rights, his right to life; and this has been true ever since the French Revolution and the invention of conscription, now an almost universally accepted principle. But these same philosophers have rarely noted that the citizen in question simultaneously loses another right, one just as basic and perhaps even more vital for his conception of himself as a civilized human being: the right not to kill.” -Jonathan Littell <<Les Bienveillantes>> Quote "The chancellor, the late chancellor, was only partly correct. He was obsolete. But so is the State, the entity he worshipped. Any state, entity, or ideology becomes obsolete when it stockpiles the wrong weapons: when it captures territories, but not minds; when it enslaves millions, but convinces nobody. When it is naked, yet puts on armor and calls it faith, while in the Eyes of God it has no faith at all. Any state, any entity, any ideology that fails to recognize the worth, the dignity, the rights of Man...that state is obsolete." -Rod Serling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
