Malcador Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Think that is just a Greek serial killer thing. Malc I have been meaning to ask you something, when I first joined these forums over 3 years ago you use to be very cynical all the time...well thats how I remember you. Anyway you have changed a lot for the better IMO....you dont seem cynical anymore and you often say very funny or insightful things Have you changed or did I just misunderstand you previously? Sorry if I'm putting you on the spot but you really seem different and I wanted to mention it Nope. Same as always Why has elegance found so little following?

BruceVC Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Guys I have to share something that just happened to me when I went to the garage As I walk into the garage there was this pretty girl in front of me wearing a black dress, so I greeted her and we started talking, she asked me if I wanted to come smoke a joint with her friends so I did and we started chatting in the carpark. I told them about this club called Truth which is the best club in JHB that plays a certain type of music I love, they also go there and I said we must all together Anyway there were 3 of them and I told them about my work and we started chatting, her dad is some big trader …I asked them how old they were as I thought they were about 20-21. The one girl was there teacher at some expensive private school and the other 2 are at home school…they were 16 and 17…but I had already invited them to come to Truth..so what did I do next….what would you do ? I was honest, I said you girls are underage but if I say “ you girls mustn’t go to Truth “ why would they listen to me? So we still going to go to Truth because I had offered them a lift..and they gave me lots of good weed "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

BruceVC Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 Two questions. What is the age of consent and should we set up a Go Fund Me for bail money? No GD....I doubt I would do anything like that...look the young girls were hot but the weird thing is they were really sweet and friendly And I enjoy my friendships with ladies so I think its fine, its like giving someone a lift?

Azdeus Posted April 22, 2016 Share Posted April 22, 2016 (edited) I went to work. I did'nt look at my schedule though, so I did'nt know that I was supposed to have the day off. Atleast my boss was kind enough to let me have the day off next week instead. Still annoying though, since my friends are playing a P&P Cyberpunk RPG (Neotech)that I adore tonight. Bought myself 2 kilos of candy to help myself get over it. Been spending some time looking through the internet for details on how the ECC(AC) on my car works, and how to fix it. I'm not exactly a newb at cars, but this one is a real headscratcher. Sometimes it kicks in, gives me a hint of cold goodness and then turns itself off for no good reason. Some intermittent faults that come up now and then, wich is weird, because many of them are grounding faults usually, and this car is rust free... Also; Listening to Hel again, despite their neonazi connections and somewhat iffy lyrics in some songs, I do enjoy a couple of their songs.

Oerwinde Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Two questions. What is the age of consent and should we set up a Go Fund Me for bail money? Seems like South Africa's age of consent laws are kind of wacky. Over 16 can consent to sex, but under 18 is considered a child by law. Apparently leads to some pretty odd court battles if the parent's don't accept their child's decision. The area between the balls and the butt is a hotbed of terrorist activity.

Hurlshort Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Been getting ready for my daughter's 9th birthday part tomorrow. I hit the backyard with the weed wacker. I hate doing that. But the house is coming together and she's got a pretty cool Root Beer theme going on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManifestedISO Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Pretty sure I just heard Adam Driver as the new voice of Infiniti. If so, he joins Chris Pine at BMW and Jon Hamm for Mercedes.

Malcador Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Dog had to get a biopsy on a lump on his leg. Hope it isn't cancerous.

Malcador Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 (edited) Yeah, tried that once. He snuck off under the covers and somehow clawed it off his face Doc put some bitter spray on it. I am waiting to watch him start to lick it to work it off his leg and soldier through the taste. But stitches look ok and he's putting weight on the leg so looks like no big deal in terms of recovery. Now to last the weekend without beating my family with a bat.

ShadySands Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I need a drink I got a credit alert email so I logged on and saw that my credit score had dropped over 100 points. After digging around I saw my vet insurance credit card had reported me 30 days late which was a shock to me since I've only ever used it once and was just waiting on the reimbursement from the insurance company to pay it off as it was supposed to be a no interest and no payment for 6 months for charges at the vet. It's set up so you don't have to pay out of pocket for more than the deductible but now I wish I had just paid cash upfront. I need to call around on Monday and see what I can do about getting it fixed Free games updated 3/4/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except it's a VCRDVDVR. Panasonic DMR-EZ37V with VHS and DVD-RAM read-write capability. From 2007, I bought it to transfer all my old 90s F1 races on tape to digital. All I have to do is hook it up to any TV input and record whatever show I want, problem solved, sorta. 1 All Stop. On Screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
