I've read a lot about them. My grandfather had one that died a few years ago. Ever since he had that dog, I've had an unhealthy obsession about the bread, despite the shortcomings.Quote:

I do the proper thing: I take the dog out back and beat its head in with a Louisville Slugger.
So you named your dick the Louisville Slugger?
The proper thing is not to leave yore domicile in this kind of weather!
I found out yesterday the my professor was offered a summer undergrad grant spot to hand out. He had originally applied for all four of us research assistants, but was told no money was left. Yesterday afternoon I was essentially handed the only spot (since somebody that received an award dropped out) and had to get a crash course in the project (I know nothing about it) and do the application process in one day. I feel completely incompetent. The proposal is over my head, and the grad student in the lab had to write the entire damn thing for me.
I can't wait until next week when this shit is over. The proposal is due bright and early in the morning. I'm not worried about not receiving the award so much as I am about how useless I've felt since finding out about it. For me getting the money, they have to hold my hand and do everything for me just to earn it.
I don't think pistols are more powerful than rifles. That old thread's point was that pistols can be more useful than rifles in key situations.Quote:

I don't know. I haven't purchased a dog with my own money. I did some research on dogs and found a couple of breeders near me selling with good reputations and it was around 500 bucks. I think I will check the shelters around here for the kind of dog I want, though. I don't mind adopting.Quote:

True story.
Ramon. A person who makes a commitment and doesn't follow through is a piece of shit. I don't care at all about a piece of shit. A piece of shit should be flushed. If a person is relying on a company who gives them a job from which all of their income is derived and can't take steps in advance to make sure their commitments are fulfilled in the event of suddenly finding themselves worthless to said company, that pathetic person sucks and deserves to be just as homeless as their dog. It's not about animals over people it's about responsibility. Sacking up, as it were.
Andrew. You have gotten better but you still do it alot. "Well I've never heard of it and it doesn't jive with my idea of common sense in my bigass smart brain so it must be false". That was the point of pointing out your pistol shit and that thread in which my buddy paid over $4000 for the dog that bit his face. You could easily do a google search and find puppies various for $5000 and more. Sometimes people know facts and when they say stuff it's true. Or in my case, always. So shut it.
In high school somebody busted out the passenger window on my car. Didn't take anything, just busted the window.Quote:

So, My uncle has been improving these past few days.
Until today. They found a massive blood clot near his heart. Its breaking up and the smaller clots are traveling to his legs and feet. He's going in tomorrow for bypass surgery. The Docs say he's a time bomb waiting to happen, with all the medical problems he has. All of which he brought on himself ... being Diabetic and still eating candy, having a heartattack and still eating and NOT exercising. I feel bad (not being there and being so far away) and will miss him dearly if he dies. I will not feel sorry for him dying, since he did not take care of himself. This also motivates me to exercise more.
I'm sorry to hear that man, really. I have a similar situation with my Dad, though not as bad as what it seems your Uncle has. My Dad had a heart attack a year ago and has not changed his eating habits or excercise habits at all since then, despite the constant bugging from my Mom and I. So when something else happens, who's fault is it but his own? And the stupid thing is, he knows that, and it doesn't seem to bother him. Y'know if anything I wish he'd do it for my Mom and I, if not himself. So I think I sort of know how you feel about the whole thing.Quote:

My knee has been hurting me the past three days. The first day was just minor and an annoyance but yesterday it started to hurt pretty bad. I was fine when I woke up today but I ran out to my car and it started hurting pretty bad as soon as I went down the stairs. It's been alright sitting around I guess but everytime I go up and down the stairs it hurts like hell.
I went running about 3-3.5 miles both because running is good exercise and to see if I could loosen it up a bit. It hurt pretty bad when I started but was feeling better towards the end, though the pain was still there. I could barely make it up the goddamn stairs once I got home though. The pain is located at the outside of the knee, on the front at the bottom of the groove (outside one) where the knee meets the shinbone. I have no idea why it hurts, I didn't do a goddamn thing to it :(
It hurts bad enough to make me think there might be a problem, if it doesn't clear up soon I need to go see a doctor.
I decided to do some bathroom renovations last night and so I smashed the porcelin soap holder in the tub to pieces with my back and now it's really sore with a big ol' gash. Fun!
Moving STINKS! I've been hassling with boxes all morning. At least my bed is dismantled. Now I just need to get to my parents' place to take my shit from there.
Cop-out. I'm not and was never even disagreeing with you about adopting dogs being a fine option. So your "facts" were never under dispute. So, how, again was it not jiving with my idea of commons sense? I even said I'd consider adopting when I get my next dog.Quote:

There's a place called The Beaches in Toronto. It's not a bad neighbourhood but its known for it's high drug trafficking. My production manager lived down there and had his window smashed in 3 times within the span of a month. He went to the police station to complain about it and the cop told him about the drug crime in the area, and that it happens a lot. Then he told him it was probably a crack addict looking for valuables to pawn or change to steal for crack. The solution? Leave your door open. He did and hasn't had a break since.Quote:

Don't worry Finch, when I return to the states I'll come move in with you. Then you'll be happy.

Gangsta lean imo.
argh! i hates wimmens! but now i'm getting paid to eat and watch a movie again so i can't be too upset.
I didn't think you were disagreeing about adoption. I'm not digging back a page for quotes or details but basically I said that some people buy dogs for $5000. You said people don't sell dogs for $5000. And the reason was because one time when your family bought a dog ten years ago it was only $600.Quote:

My Uncle is doing better, but he can't have Bypass surgery. He has Emphysema and the Doctors refused to administer any sort of anesthesia. So instead they hooked him up to an IV and administered Heparin. He couldn't move in any sense yesterday, due to while its being broken down it could move right into his heart.
What's bugging me is that I am 4 states away and I can't be with the family.
PS. He's not out of the woods if anyone cares.
I would imagine that everyone cares. I wish him the best. And you too.
AUGH. It's snowing. I wanna ride my bike. Should i say, "FUCK IT" and be a brave (stupid) snow biker? i think i just might. i am only worried about the wetness. The bike path/ side walk being slippery makes it fun though!
Good luck to your family, Advocate.
Son of a bitch I am like a goddamn stain magnet today. First I realize that the grease stain on my pants isn't all the way out, I drop a bite of my lunch on my lap and now I have a stain on my sweater. Son of a fuck.

...oh, you meant.. I see...yeah that sucks
I suspect it's people who have been laid off at the factory she works at (She also just put in her two weeks notice) who are mad because she still has a job and they don't but it could be random, I'm going to try and get the police to come around the area a bit more for a while.
I'm not sure what her insurance covers, but I think you need a police report in some cases to get reimbursed for vandalism.
Well apparently the whole apartment area has been hit but unless the apt pays the police refuse to start patrols around here. I'm pretty worried for my car so I parked right in front of her window (Which I can easilly jump out of) and have a bat at the side of the bed. I would be kind of thrilled for some vigilante justice har har.
The deductible is generally too much to even bother with insurance for vandalism unless it's extremely bad.Quote:

Mandolins are serious business, I took out a huge check of my thumb nail using a regular one several months ago when the yuka I was slicing into strips fucking snapped in half and sent my hand directly towards the blades.
I thought Mandolins were musical instruments?
They're also instruments used for doing julian cuts and the Japanese mandoline is used for cutting stuff into strips.Quote:

Yep, they were Sony. Guess I was lucky to get that much use out of 'em.
Buy some Sennheisers.
Oooo sounds German.
I've got some decent Panasonic RP-HTX7's, but I suspect they're going to suffer Toy Headphone Syndrome in a year or two and snap off at the ear.
The metal bits give me faith, though!
Sennheisers, Grado, Shure, something with a fun fancy name.
My brother gave me a set of Sennheisers for Christmas and they are fucking awesome. They're maybe a bit too snug though, I'll get a headache if I keep them on for too long. That and they muffle out sound so well that I get paranoid that someone is coming behind me.Quote:

I've had a pair of Sony MDR V700's for at least 8 years now.
Ah yes, a Sony model not made entirely of plastic. I can see that holding up much better than, say, MDR-XD100's.

I've actually never cut myself with a mandoline. I don't use one in any of my prep at Ruth's Chris - I used one every day at Chang's, though.
What I do have in a huge abundance is burns. All up and down my forearms (left especially). Only one serious cut at work: Chopping onions I split the tip of my left middle finger in half down the pad. That shit wasn't any fun, but I wrapped it in a paper towel, put on a finger cot, then 2 gloves and got back on the line because we were slam bang busy.
I've never got a real bad cut at work. The worst I probably ever have gotten was when I was putting chickens on a skewer and while I was prepping them I cut my thumb on one of the metal tags attached to the wing and didn't notice because my hands were so cold. My hands are knife injury free thus far, never once have I cut myself while using a knife.Quote:

Fuck Saturdays :(
Sorry to hear about your Grand Dad Mr-K
The spraypaint doesn't matter quite as much as her brakes stopped working sunday! you push them down and get no resistance but when you hit the bottom you slowly stop in an awkward manner!
I've been awake since 3 am and stuck in a hospital since 4 last night. Samba and myself ended up taking a trip to the hospital because she thought she was going into labor (nto a good thing, shes only 29 weeks along) and after about an hour of screaming from pain and discomfort we were admitted to a birthing room. So far, all signs point to a Kidney Stone, but the urologist cannot perform any radiology type tests until after Samba delivers. Shes hooked up to an IV with like 4 or 5 different fluids and painkillers.
Our doctor isn't quite sure what to think now since the urologist doesn't think its a kidney stone.
Her cervix isn't dialated, nor is she having contractions, its just frustrating not having any idea what is really going on.
They do have great bandwidth though.
My god NGE, I'm sorry.
We give her our best.
Well, after another OBGYN came in he says that she is having some contractions, but the drips they have her on are subsiding her contractions, we are hoping to get out within the next 24 hours, but she still has another round of steriods to be injected to help develop the babys lungs in case she does end up coming early.
This blows, I'm hungry and the Diner downstairs is already closed.
Hope she's okay man.
Damn man keeping the fingers crossed everything is ok.
My prayers are with you and Samba, man.

Well, after as good of a nights rest that can be imagined, pretty much all contractions hve subsided, Samba got the 2nd set of steroid shots and everything is looking alot better, Samba is just in alot of achey pain from her muscles going crazy yesterday.
As for my little quips about having great bandwidth and the food thing, I'd have gone crazy if I didn't find something to take my mind off whats been going on.
Thanks for all of the kind words. Yesterday is a huge blur and even right now I'm pretty much out of it. They still don't know what's going on, but the baby is fine, it's just me that's having problems. I feel like I got hit by a semi and I've been poked and prodded over 20 times. Luckily the hospital staff has been great and little Shelby is alright. I'll try to keep everyone posted as we hear more. I think they are planning on running tests and all that fun stuff today to try to pinpoint the issue.
Thanks so much again for all of your support. :portalhug:
That pussy will never be the same again.
My stepsister turned 16 today. This should be outlawed. She is not allowed to be sixteen...
It means you're getting older too. haha
Mine's this weekend, and I don't really give a rat's ass. That girl gets into enough trouble as it is, being 16 is going to make everything much worse. I'm glad her family isn't letting her drive yet, christ...
Haha you're gonna be an old maid this year! better get to work on kids the clock is ticking! Also isn't it about time you got married and settled down?
