      Yup, Nocera and Pretty Poison are pretty cool too. I shall make sure to give them some airplay next time. :)

    3. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      OMG! OMG! I just noticed that Pretty Poison is not in my collection!!! Almost 8 hours of Freestyle and not a single one from her!

       

      I must rectify this immediately. iTunes Music Store, here we go!

    4. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      Thank goodness, Nocera is indeed there. ;)

  4. You know what I hate? Indignant self-righteous fools spoiling every other thread and status updates with claims of sockpuppetry and trolling, tacos, and other lame in-jokes or private taunts, when that's precisely what they are doing!

      By the way, thanks for engaging with me and providing some context on the situation. It's hard to tell from just picking it randomly in the threads. :)

      jaybird3rd

      No problem. I'm sorry if the other members' posts come across as "trolling"; I maintain that they've been helpful in exposing and driving away the *real* trolls.

       

      If there is a thread about a potentially interesting topic that was "ruined" by the sockpuppet warfare, the best thing to do is to create a new thread on that topic.

  5. Today I had the weirdest problem ever: I went to an ATM and asked for $40.00 and it gave me $60.00!!! I talk to the store manager where the machine is at, and they told me to call the bank. I called the bank who owns it and they told me to call my bank. My bank told me to call the third-party ATM management company. The ATM management company told me to keep it.

      That's a lot of "red tape".

    4. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      Yup. I actually was looking to return the $20, not be charged for it. What if it were a few hundred which I never intended to withdraw from my account? Their error would have forced me to deal with the transaction overhead for depositing again. :(

  6. I got my first rejection letter from a publisher yesterday. My book stands unwanted. :( Well, at least they took the time to print a form letter, put it in the SASE I included, and posted it. Now I know. :(

  9. My wife and I just adopted two new kittens from the local rescue agency. After 18 years with our kitty "Puppy," I had forgotten what it was like to have a kitten in the house. :)

      @DZ, I've been up through there on 74E headed to Asheville and saw massive salt on the roads and snow all over. I was careful not to touch it, lol. Supposedly, y'all'er getting one good snow tonight.

    3. GoldLeader

      GoldLeader

      I don't mind snow until I have to be out in it...I Like it 2 days a week haha...

    4. adam242

      adam242

      I wish I lived somewhere that snow was a novelty. To me, it's just an annual nuisance. Looks pretty for a day, but then I'm over it.

  11. A friend just pointed out that The Matrix, a movie I saw in the theater on its initial run, just turn 20 years old last week! :o

      Yeah I saw Star Wars in the theater as well Twice!...Also Empire and Jedi I saw at the very first showing...Last day O school 9th grade and it was a noon showing...Got there about 40 mins early (about 12th in line ;)

    4. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      Hehehe, I saw "The Star Wars" in the theater almost every week! LOL! :)

       

      But "The Matrix" surprised me, because it sort of felt like it came out "the other day." :o

  12. The end of another month, time to balance the cheque-book and prepare the budget for next month... Bo-rrrrriiiiiiing!

      Balancing checkbooks? That's a part of a washboard, right? Or adjusting the crank on the horseless carriage?

      DZ-Jay, why do you spell "check" with a q? Are you not American?

    4. DZ-Jay

      DZ-Jay

      I'm American, but that's how I learned it. "To check" is to verify, "a cheque" is what you pay with.

  13. My little kitty (who's actually quite an old lady of 18 years), is sick and wouldn't eat. She underwent a minor surgical procedure resulting in Cyber-Kitty: a brand new bionic version, enhanced with an alternative liquid-fuel injection system

      Thank you all. She seems stronger today. We shall see, it's still early days.

  14. The time had finally come: we had to let go of our beautiful Puppy last night. The poor kitty was losing the battle against a million competing illnesses. :(

      I hear that. I'm getting to the point where I'm earning some use or lose time -- when kiddo is just a little bit older, I'll be able to cash it in like you. Til then, occasional sanity days plus overlapping with school schedule for me.

       

      Getting old has its rewards.

      I'll be "off" for the next three weeks also, but I've got lots of prep to do for the Spring semester, so I'll be working at home.

      +1 for going to a rescue.

      +1 for considering a pair. Are they siblings? I love the idea of keeping littermates together. My two boys are almost 12 and haven't spent a day apart.

  25. I have only one thing to say: HAN. SHOT. FIRST. Bwaaaaahahahaha

    2. jaybird3rd

      jaybird3rd

      (And yes, Han shot first. It's obvious from the setup and the coverage. If their "real intention" was for both to shoot simultaneously, with Han doing some weird, anatomically impossible head movement to dodge the shot (WTF?!), they could easily have done it at the time. Just because Lucas has lost his marbles doesn't mean we have to go along with him.)
