Just checked General. Wade is aware of the problem and thinks an advertiser got some pop-up code. I know it's not my comp since I used Spybot about 20 minutes before logging onto NG and the scan was clean.

I got one pop up when I first signed into NG. It sort of annoyed me because this is totally an advertiser-generated thing and NG would never knowingly allow a pop up on the site. I wish I took note of whose ad it was and what company it was...but in my surprised state, I Xed it out as quick as I could.

I don't have it, but I may pick it up for PC. My boyfriend has the PC version and desperately wants to play post-apocalyptic Pittsburgh when he's done with the main stretch. Then again, he lives there. XD
I did just take out a bunch of PC games from the library I used to work at, so that should keep me busy for a bit. I'm amazed the first two Fallout games have not been stolen from there.
The PC dlc for broken steel is broken so not available and Im so pissed off.
I should be killing people with my cannon right now.
Aw damn, the boyfriend won't be happy. Then again, it might be fixed by the time he finally gets around to it. He is taking his time and just finding things like the sexy sleepwear. I did get a lot of initial "oh crap, I think I screwed up" emails but that seems to have passed.

I've gotten pop ups once or twice but it hasen't been a huge problem.
In other news My Wolverine review is up.
I really liked it. My only two faults were this.
1. My spell check wouldn't let me type Liev Schreiber. It kept auto correcting me to Live. The mans name is not Live.
2. The woman in front of me at the ticket line asked the cashier "What is 'Fighting' about?" It was all I could do to not buy my ticket and yell "It's about Wolverine, right!?"

I have a $7.84 finance charge on a credit card I paid off. I can't call them until tomorrow. I really want to hear their explanation on this one.
He followed me home, can I keep him?

the economy and they wont be able to do it in a month or two when the credit card bill of rights bill passes through congress?
some people who are fine card holders are having limits reduced and giant interest increases.
I have no idea how I've avoided this. We have really horrible credit, out credit card is maxed out, although we typically pay half of it every month anyway...we just don't pay it all off every month, and the minimum is $15. our credit limit is only like $500 and our interest is pretty high.
And of course the credit account I have with Kay Jewelers confounds me. They upped my limit to $1300 after I only had it for a couple of years, maxed it out twice and paid those off with minimum payments for 10 months each time.

On the off hand chance, I downloaded Google Chrome and WOAH
Yes, I did in fact just do a Keanu Reeves impression. You can laugh now.
Anyways, I read your review stafff. And once I see the movie, I'll kindly disagree.

Yeah, I know the feeling and I just have to say that I hate when that happens.
... But this time it was fun.
Would you care to elaborate? What lubricant did you use? How long did you go at it? In what way was it fun?
I just can´t let the slight hint at prostate cancer and the subsequent "fun" exam slide. No way.
Oh, and also, I brought it up earlier in the thread, but I think very little effort has been made to put forth this issue, thus I cautiously propose the following:
boobs?

.... I'll take that as a "yes" then.

I've got a credit score of 620 (not great, but not where I want it to be) and they cut the limit on one of my cards in half recently, and I was declined for a credit card at Sam Ash last week. Go figure.
What really irked me was they cut my limit in half on the one card, and it was a hair above half full when they did it, so the card wound up being maxed out. Now I've got it setup for e-pay, so I can be on top of it better.
I'm also doing Dave Ramsey's "Debt Snowball" to pay off all my credit cards. Basic concept; list all your debts smallest to largest, make minimum payments on all of them except the little one, which you attack with a vengeance. Once you pay that off, you take the cash you were using to pay on the little one and attack the next one on the list, so on and so forth.

That's actually great news Seven...congrats !
I still haven't heard from my doctor about my last blood work .
But I finished my meds last friday, have been eating what ever I please (suicide chicken wings for supper at the pub tonight & beers :) & I feel great .

So... no low-glycemic diet, then?
And I'll have you know, my nuts were bothering me the last two days. My only logical explanation; pulled/strained a groin muscle. But seeing as how you live in Louisianna... my next thought had to do with a voodoo doll... if you did, I swear I will go Southwest Voodoo on you.

no, i got it as soon as I saw your post.
so what was that? the series finale or the season? Because the directors were all "that's a season wrap for..." in the other scenes, but it was running like a last ever type of episode, ya know?
I sort of lost track of the show until this year, so I wasn't really annoyed at redone jokes or anything. Maybe i'll get scrubs on netflix

Since I know there's a keen interest in oddball weapons here, I'll share this with you; a co-worker recently informed me that depending on the laws of the state you live in, you can get a conceal carry weapon's permit, not just a conceal carry handgun permit. I live in Tennessee and work in Kentucky, both of which are "Shall Issue" states for conceal carry permits, I'm doing research now into seeing if it applies for weapons as well.
NOT that I intend to carry anything deadly, I just want to cover my ass before buying this or these to carry around when I'm in public.

Oh yeah. I know people who've gotten simular permits in order to legally wear swords. I'm guessing a lot of private businesses would retain their right to deny me service but I wouldn't have any legal trouble.

Those look toasty warm. But I can see how they would throw off someones punch, through both the awkward weight and the inherent overconfidence. Of course you have to be able to throw a punch in the first place.

Ohio is the same way. Guns and knives or any other oddball weapon have separate permits. But you don't need permits to carry minor things like pepper spray.
Oddly, I also wrote in my blog today about something stupid I'd been thinking of.

so my dad sometimes brews his own beer. Once in a while he'll get a free soda kit with his home brew kits.
he made me some root beer.
ever since its date I could drink it, it has become more and more volatile. I guess he put too much soda water or whatever into it, but when I opened the caps (old school beer bottle caps) it would fiz like crazy.
today I opened the last 2 in the box he gave me. The first one was a literal volcano (there's still some stains from the last one I had on the wall behind the kitchen sink..where I've learned to open them) spewing about 4 inches above the bottle, leaving only 1/4 of the bottle still with drink left.
So I went and grabbed the last one and opened it...it made a very loud POP noise and the cap landed on the couch, which was about 2 yards behind me. It did the volcano thing too, but it left about 2/3 of the soda in the bottle.
I fear to think what is going on in those Pale Ales he gave me that I haven't touched yet.

At least that's the current plan I tell myself so I can continue to enjoy it :)

God, I haven't slept like that for a while... I barely woke up, it's about 3AM right now...
Anyway--
I hooked up with my director, and he's in love with my script. We've had a posiitive experience in the feedback.
My story is what I've uploaded here (as a post, so I don't know where to link it.)
It's about the mom who tries to poison the dad with a bowl of chili.
It was my homework, a 3 minute pager.
Well, it's a 10 minute play and--wow-- it's good (although, that's my opinion.)
I will definitely upload it on youtube for everyone to see., and post the script here on my blog. It won't be my first short play to be performed, but it's definitely my first to be hosted in an actual theater, which uses actual props and actual actors. My first time was at a small little cafe, which some may remember...
I notice that I write about food in my writings. It's just weird-- Devil's Food Cake is a food/horror story.
"The Secret Ingredient" is a food/suspense play.
And my zombie/immigrant story which I'm editing-- well... it's another food story too (because zombies eat humans.)
but anyways...
I can't believe I'm getting sick again... oh god, I hope it's just a throat tickle and that's it. I can't miss my own premiere.

I hate beer. I have some miller high life thats been sitting in my fridge forever now that I've only had 2 or 3 bottles of.
since my dad is coming out for a couple of days tonight, I opened up his box of pale ale, handled carefully a few of them and put them in the fridge for him when he arrives.
I enjoy liquor more. You can hide it in girly fruity drinks and get drunk.
I have never had a cigarette either. I don't want them or care for them. I have had a few cigars, and they weren't totally horrible. I would like to get a taste for good cigars (and bourbon). First though, I need to figure out how to drink bourbon in my library without needing an umbrella...or fruit juice...

But the straws are perfectly usable, aren´t they?
Might still be a tad girly, but hey, baby steps!
Coffe and bourbon? Innocent looking, yet a small crime in itself I assume. I´ll check back once I´ve studied the Way of Whiskey extensively.
Also: the boobular fad never really caught on, but here´s my last attempt at sparking some interest for the great tits anyway.
Oh, and just out curiosity, what kind of sword does Malachy wish to own? Is he longing for an oversized katana, or would he prefer the straight-edged and honest medieval longsword? Just askin´...
