He's gonna pay off my credit card in full, pay all the bills at once, buy some aquarium supplies, possibly a dishwasher, and still leave enough to play with. I just have to wait for it to clear since I forgot my checkbook when going in to sign the return(no direct deposit this time). After nearly a year of financial tightness, I can finally ( Read more... )

What a wicked hangover. I haven't had this high quality of a hangover in a good long time. As a few of you know, I thoroughly enjoy hangovers. It keeps me from doing too much thinking, and just doing instead. I might end up getting all sorts of stuff done if the Mrs doesn't sleep too long.

Two hours and 78 feet of network cable later, including a 6 foot cable to connect a machine to the wall-jack I wired, and after moving a desk, some tables holding break-time equipment, and a ( Read more... )

Well, the lag when the engine was under load came back quickly. That is when trying to gun it at cruising speed without downshifting, starting from a stop while facing uphill, heavy accelleration, etc. Basically the torquey "performance" side of my car that makes it fun to drive was gone, and getting worse ( Read more... )

So, I own a home, I have a 10 month old daughter on the verge of standing on her own, and I'm now legally married ( Read more... )
