If you look like a slob, people are going to form an opinion about you before they even talk to you. I'm not saying you have to wear a suit or tie everywhere you go, but if you're wearing dirty/wrinkled clothes, you look like a dirty hippie. And no one wants to hire a dirty hippie. Also, girls tend to avoid slobs. The guy's doing you a favor.
For two days, I've been watching a rabbit hole. Okay, so Dad messed it up with his lawnmower, which is how we noticed it, but the bunnies seem okay and I've been rebuilding it with grass and what I can recover of the mother's fur as needed.
The rabbits always pick that exact spot in the yard, which is odd since 1) we're on a hill and 2) under the deck would probably be safer. We always used to have to keep the dog away from there.
There are four bunnies. They now have fur and are anxious to go out and see the world. I hear them moving a lot, and if I go check on them, they're always trying to get out of the nest, even if I don't touch the grass. But they're not ready to leave the nest yet. Their eyes aren't open and their ears are still back. Also, they have a telltale white blaze on their little heads that indicates they're still too young. When it goes away, they're ready to head out and see the world for the first time. They're trying to rush it though. XD
They look healthy, but my concern is if Mama Rabbit is coming back. I left some sticks over the hole last night and figured she'd move them if she came back. She didn't, so I put some more there and I'm gonna try to see if/when she comes. My fear is if she gets killed by a stray or domestic animal, since we did have a cat prowling two days ago. If that happens, I'll call the Humane Society and get them to a rabbit rehabber, but for now, they seem to be okay. They're not squeaking, so that's a good sign.

No, it wasn't UJ or anything. That's funny.
Has anyone seen "What Birthers Believe" in the Portal yet? ROFL.
The vast majority of women I know were 19-25, myself included.
I looked up the city's paper and found out a few things...
Apparently the city's PD only got the Tasers on Sunday. This incident happened Monday. Is it possible they wanted to try out their new toys?
Also, according to the paper, the homeless guy is small, like 5'6" or so. There were two officers there. Even if the guy is strung out on drugs, if two officers can't restrain a small guy like that, they have no business being cops.

The locals do pronounce it differently--I hear it as "LANKA-stur." Boy, did I get corrected a lot when I first moved there, since I was using the regular pronunciation of "lan-CAST-er."
I lived in this town for a year.
And you know what? It doesn't surprise me.

SOmehow, this doesn't surprise me.

When I was a grad student off in the mountains, I used to get people rolling down their windows and yelling at me. Where do they get the idea that women will either appreciate the gesture or say "Why yes, I do want to get in your truck?"

That same laptop is sitting under my bed in much better condition. Even if I dug it up, I probably couldn't get it to run anything decent.
That being said though, I don't understand the concept of schools handing out laptops. "Oh but they don't have a computer at home!" It's called the library. Furthermore, kids are unreliable and will probably lose it, use it for porn, or fuck it up with Trojans or whatnot. I managed decent grades in school without them handing out free laptops.

Didn't the windstorm last September knock your power out? Columbus had no power for two weeks. Thankfully, I got mine back in four days.
I was watching TV today and they updated the charts of Hurricane Bill. It may hit the northern U.S., but what they think it'll do is move away from the U.S., making a big arc away from the mainland like the charts posted show. However, if it does so, it'll be a direct hit on Bermuda.
Shit, you just reminded me Mom's birthday is next week and I need to get something. Thanks.
There is always a chance of any type of birth control failing. Condoms, the Pill, you name it. Nothing is 100%.
People get married for tons of reasons other than love. Money, a nice house, the tax breaks that come with marriage, that sort of thing.
I agree it sucks donkey balls...but the problem with the economy the way it is right now is that niche television is having trouble staying afloat, so they're trying to generalize to bring in more viewers. That's why Cartoon Network is going partially live action, to try and net some of the Nicktoons/Disney kids.
So I take it Tallahassee was not too badly hit then? I know someone down there who just had a baby two months ago. Imagine evacuating with a kid that young.
The problem with Bill is no one knows what it's gonna do yet. Weather Underground's models have it possibly hitting the northern states or Canada. It's almost peak hurricane time too, so don't let a calm Atlantic season fool you.
Hurricanes can devastate other areas besides the coast though. Last year, I lived in Ohio, to the southeast of Columbus. Hurricane Ike came through in a "perfect storm" type scenario where it hit a cold front and an upper level disturbance, and this kept it strong enough to stay a Category 1 over Ohio. We had a humongous windstorm, and there were massive power outages everywhere. The power crews that were helping out down in Texas and Louisiana were called back. My power was out for four days. I drove to work the morning after, and I had never seen that much damage in my life. For example, a church steeple came crashing down.
I also have a brief entry in my blog from back then.
Maybe a better idea would be for employers to get out of the insurance business altogether. Give the $12,000 or so they spend on each employee's insurance to the employee as salary. Then the employee could go pick out whatever health insurance they want, and the companies could compete.
The problem with the system the way it is now is people have procedures done without giving a shit how much it costs due to insurance. Like, they stub their toe and insist on an X-ray. Well, if it was coming out of your pocket, suddenly you'd care about the cost and would think twice about that X-ray.
I'd like to see this, because, quite frankly, I'm tired of paying everyone else's hospital bills.

On the drive back, I said the words, "My choice is I want to go to my dad's school." She pulled over on the side of road, grabbed me and screamed that I'm not going, and then I'm not leaving her. She said that's the end of it. I don't know what to do, and I have the door locked and barricaded because I'm genuinely afraid she's going to scream at me again.
I don't know what to do, help.
Mentally unstable much? I'd call your dad and tell him what's going on. He and the counselor are not going to like that one bit.
BTW, what happened with the counselor?
It spawned a cool game, but beyond that, I'll give it a miss.
You're 14. What the hell can you do on a date? For that matter, where can you go? Will Mommy drive you to the movies?
I think their forums are a total cesspool, but the FAQs are good for telling me what I need to know, especially if I need to be reminded of something from a game I haven't played in awhile. I also like the release date section.
Glenn Beck said it himself: If you take everything he says as the gospel truth, you're an idiot. But he's entitled to his opinions and to express them in the media like everyone else is.
That being said though, advertisers can put pressure on a show. I think the only reason Letterman apologized to Palin is because he was getting pressure from his advertisers. Not that he needed to apologize to her, but that's another topic entirely. But that's what happened to Bill Maher after 9/11. He spoke out against what the government was doing, and he lost his advertisers and his show to boot.
Ultimately though, it's up to the viewers. If no one watches Glenn Beck, then he won't have a show.
The question comes to mind: Who the hell would add their boss on Facebook? After rereading, I think I know why.
He clarifies he's gay. So it would seem she's been making unwanted advances on him and maybe this is why she added him. Not only that, clearly she's been doing a shitty job to begin with, so this just gives him ammo. The unwanted advances don't exactly help either.
It's one thing to complain about your boss or job. But not right where it's the first thing that pops up on his page. I don't think she's getting another job soon.

Don't X number of people have to blow the whistle first? At least that's how it used to work before the level redesign.

Rabbits are fast-moving, big-eared mammals. There are about 25 different species of rabbits. They live in a variety of environments, including deserts, swamps, marshes, forests, grasslands, and prairies. Rabbits are found on every continent except Antarctica.
Most rabbits live for about a year in the wild. They are hunted by dogs, foxes, raccoons, weasels, bobcats, lynxes, hawks, and eagles. They have a fast reproductive rate.
Anatomy: Rabbits range in size from 1 to 2 feet (30 to 60 cm) long. They have very big and powerful hind legs which they use for hopping and for digging burrows.
Diet: Rabbits are herbivores (plant-eaters). They eat grass, leaves, bark, and twigs.
Classification: Kingdom Animalia (animals), Phylum Chordata (having a notochord), Class Mammalia (mammals), order Lagomorpha (rabbits, hares, and pikas), Family Leporidae (rabbits and hares), many Genera.
Somehow I'm not surprised. I mean, they did put up with T.O. and his shit. But if he had signed with the Bengals, he'd fit right in with the rest of the criminals.
I'm just happy the Steelers didn't take him. Guess the Rooneys hated his guts.
