  1. I fully understand the benefits of venting.

     

    Maybe there was a little disconnect on my EDIT on my reply to Ink. I did not mean this thread, although it was this thread he posted in, my EDIT said board. I didn't mean this thread in particular just that this board in general is stormy at times and, therefore, I found it amusing that Ink would come to the board to be relieved.

     

    Ink frequently relieves himself on the board. :nana:

     

    I would I it wasnt at least a 25% pay cut me as well as inceasing my commute from 3.5 miles to 25 miles. Also, my job is way better and more high profile in the company. I'm a boss...(cue SNL bit)

     

    R U on a boat too?

  2. If it's not him, there is definitely someone else on here whose birthday is today.

     

    I hate when people point to http://lmgtfy.com/. (not always, but often). If I'm on the computer, chances are I have already Googled it and haven't found what I was looking for or not found something as specific as I want.

    So....subtle.

  3. My complaint: people who say FML. No ofense to the millenial, because I see this on my Facebook page from other younger people and it drives me nuts: "drove all the way into school in a snowstorm only to find class canceled. FML" or dropped my keys in a puddle. FML"

     

    Point them to http://lmgtfy.com/

     

     

     

    Amen. Not sure if it was me who said that or if I repeated it, but it's the truth. Venting helps the pressure escape.

  4. Nothing fancy, but finally opened the bottle of Dewars I picked up a while back. Very easy to drink and less burn than some of the others I've tried. Seems like a good, fairly inexpensive one to sip on game nights.

     

    Doing this right now. it's (insert weave post here)

  5. I wonder how many people are just waiting for a change with a second browser window open. They've got their "Ruff/Darcy fired" post all written up and are waiting to hit that post button just so they can be the first to say it.

     

    I've got my "Roy is traded to _____" all cued up.

  6. I've been moderately to severely overweight since I was about 10 years old. Three years ago I made a commitment to start living a healthy lifestyle by eating healthy food most of the time, in the correct portions, and exercising regularly. I was approaching 40 and had no doubt that I'd be very lucky to see 50 if I did not make major changes.

     

    Well, this week I finally hit my goal weight! Three years ago I weighed an embarrassing 305 lbs, today I weigh 173. Total loss of 132 lbs. Went from 3x shirts to M's, from a 52" waist to 34". Doing my first half-marathon later this year.

     

    I feel F'n fantastic. :)

     

    Three years is a lifestyle change not a diet. Congrats. I think you'll continue to do well

  7. Some pretty good stuff here today. Definitely some good therapy going on.

     

    My complaint. I got a colonoscopy today. That's not my complaint. You would think that with all the no eating and shissing and the whole tube up the butt thing that that would be my complaint. It's not. That's just something you have to do.

     

    My complaint is that my life is so crazy, raising a high energy, low functioning, autistic seven year old, that getting a colonoscopy actually felt like a spa day. I can't remember the last time I just laid in bed for an hour and a half, in silence, and just relaxed, without the threat of someone dropping a book or toy on my head or having to jump up because she is going to pull the refrigerator on top of herself. The drugs were pretty good, too.

     

    That's funny. Another plus: you won't need to crap for a few days. lol

  8. My life insurance is term life with a premium that is paid once per year. The bill and the reminder notice both vanished into the pile of mail at home and I ended up paying it a couple of weeks late. Allstate cashed my check, but then about a month later issued me a refund check and told me that I had to apply to have the policy reinstated. After a series of PO'd phone calls, I was informed that they had to re-underwrite the entire policy, including me submitting my tax returns, having a phone interview, and taking a complete physical.

     

    If all goes well in the underwriting process, they will reinstate the policy in another couple of weeks. In the meantime, I am not covered, so if I get hit by a bus today, my wife and kids are SOL. I asked whether it would be possible to keep the policy in place during the underwriting period and the answer was no. I asked whether it was possible to accelerate the process and the answer was no.

     

    I have my life insurance, my wife's life insurance, my car insurance and my homeowners' insurance all with Allstate. When the insurance agent was selling me all of this, he was very proactive about calling me and getting everything done. However, there was no phone call when I really needed it -- ie when I was about to miss a deadline that resulted in a serious risk to my family's security. And when I proposed multiple solutions to covering me for the gap period until the underwriting was done -- sorry, they can't help me. I made a mistake in paying the bill late, but Allstate used it as an opportunity to reduce their risk on my policy, both by not covering me during the gap period and by re-underwriting the policy.

     

    Oh, here's the kicker: assuming the underwriting and the physical checks out, they will reinstate the policy in a couple of weeks -- but I still have to pay for the period during which I was not covered. It's an annual premium, and the uncovered period will end up being about 3 months, so I'm going to end up paying an extra 25% for the privilege of having them jerk me around.

     

    Needless to say, as soon as I get the policy back in place, I'm going to take my business elsewhere.

     

    I got mine through Selectquote.

  9. My complaint: mucus.

     

    Had a cold over Christmas week. No flu, I got the shot, just plugged up sinuses. Now the nose is geting better but it's all landed in my lungs.

     

    I'm coughing like there's no tomorrow. Getting headaches from coughing so much.

     

    Someone tell it to stop!

  10. I FINALLY got a summons for Jury Duty last year... Was starting to take it personally that I had never been called and yet have never failed to vote. Anyway, I got picked for a jury trial. Lasted four days. What a fantastic experience. Don't be in too much of a hurry to duck it, you might find it to be an interesting and rewarding experience...

     

    This is my second one. Never got picked for the first one. I acted all crazy and ######, they didn't pick me.

  11. couldn't agree more. unfortunately, i had a lapse of judgment this morning and busted out the high beams. not even remotely necessary, but what's done is done. no, i don't think he'll camp out in front of my building all day, but who knows? psychos are just that--psycho.

     

    Send out an unmanned drone. :death:

  12. Yea I grew up in the rolling hills of the finger lakes and from what I have seen of Radford it looks like a similar place. I am doing all the research I can to get this job and again thank you!

     

    Good luck man. You'll need to change your username to "Digital Citizen"

  13. :lol: Sorry, I did take that one off track for a bit. Okay, back to complaining: I wanna go home! Better? ;)

     

    I never passed chemistry yet I'm the one to help sue or defend chemical companies. Go figure.
