I've mentioned a few times now that I am not a fan of my sister. By that I mean I truly cannot stand her. She pulls this crap where she makes these flagrant assumptions about people, with absolutely ZERO input or experience. Case in point: She frequently rails against Muslims, and Religion of all kinds. Yet she gladly holds up the fact that she has never attended church, or read the bible, Quran, Torah, etc.. She prefers getting tattoo's, her hair dyed, or nails done, to buying clothes for her kids. She makes really horrible life decisions and then expects everyone to back her up, or help her out. (She bought a house in Lousiana, in a flood plane, on the beach. The Gulf is literally 20 feet out, and 1 ft below her back porch.) She frequently makes backhanded remarks, and then when people call her out on it, she runs away crying persecution. She left her husband, dying of bladder cancer, to go bang a chef at Waffle House, that was just out of prison, and a raging Alcoholic. (We call him #3, as he isn't deserving of a real name) Nutshell: I hate her, and damn near everything about her. So for the last few years I have managed to stay "Sister Drama" free from her. Both my mother and father have also been, as they were tired of her shit. I don't answer her calls, or texts. She isn't smart enough to use Email, as its not Facebook, so no worries there. However, My dad has decided to reconcile various things in his life, so he has opened the door again for her. She has now decided to start randomly showing up to my house. I refused her entry. She went back to my dad, and decided to hit him up for money, he gave in, and then called me because he was short. I don't have any damn money, but, I sold some stocks and paid his mortgage for him, and bought groceries. Rinse repeat the above a few dozen times, you guys get the idea. I am at the point though, where I can't play these games anymore, even with my dad. So, how would you all recommend I handle this. Its going to go Nuclear eventually, so at this point I figure get the plan in place and make it happen.

I understand what you're saying now. Cool

Nah man, I knew you were talking about news and not friends. So yea, my question still stands. Does knowing whats happening in Syria, 10 minutes ago, impact your daily life at all? (Just an example) IDK, there was a time, when I was writing full time, that knowing that stuff did have an impact on what I was doing and how I made money. Then I stopped writing, and I started really looking at my addiction to news, and I started to question myself and my motives. I'm not saying you should, or that there is anything wrong with what you are doing, just chatting here.

Yea, but do you really need the news that fast? Or has it become another addiction like so many other things. I guess I am like Doc in that, if I need to know something, then email or call me.

They really need to fix this, I want Civ 5

Saw the trailer for this the other day and I said the same thing about it that I said about Expendables IDGAF if its bad, I will watch this, often Now, if we could get some decent kids cartoons like the original GI Joe series, I would be happy

I parental locked TLC in my house, no one has the code but me, and I chose random numbers, so that I will never be able to unlock it. There is nothing redeemable about these shows, or events. Half the time I want to start putting foot to ass on these child abusers, and the other half I want to start writing names down and turn them into the FBI for being pedobears. Dear god, I pray I never relapse with some different strain of cancer thats terminal. I won't be baking meth, but I will most likely end up jsut as violent as Walter

What started as a joke is surprisngly accurate for most all of twitter and FAcebook. Its a shame that folks dont' realize that they are no longer Anonymous, and that that shit is archived and searchable

My wife created a facebook account a few weeks ago to stay connected with the locak Homeschool org's. So in that regard it helps plan field trips and play dates for my kid. IDK, I still prefer email

I honestly blame Facebook, Twitter, and Myspace, etc.. for the dumbing down of this country. Not to mention Reality TV

here are my cats, Fat Fat and Fuzz Fuzz. My son named them both, Fat Fat is mine and Fuzz is my wife's Side by side, although not really. I don'thave a good side by side comparison of the two cats, but Fattie is about 2x as big as Fuzzie Goddamn banana! Get away from my Box! (Seriously, Fattie hates bananna's, you put one near him and he beats the crap out of it. If I leave one on the counter, he will jump up, knock it off, and then get back down. He gets yelled at whenever he is on the counter, so he hates banana's to teh point that he risks me yelling at him in order to kill them) This cushion is mine, get your own. This is where I sleep. Also, Fattie is about 25 lbs, but is solid and really healthy acording to the vet. Other than his Male Udder from when he got his nuts cut, he isn't fat at all.

TIL: Fraaace likes pointless characters I have a feeling Beth will outlast every other character purely because she is pointless and the writers can't figure out what to do with her

Theories for the new season Karl starts getting way more nutso, but the kids from the town start working with him. Think Lord of the Flies style craziness Governor will not be seen until the end of the season the new Antagonist will be the remnants of some military division. (Remember the group the governor killed that was on a radio with a larger force) Rick dies cause people are tired of his shit and no one gives a fuck about Lori anymore. The Big Black guy takes over, which will cause issues with Karl Full frontal scene involving Maggie WOO, she might be a zombie in this, don't rally care, if you know what I mean and I think that you do Michonne learns how to shoot

FTB is going to be stuck in 1.5 land for a long time to come. Mojangg is changing how they handle Item Codes, so there won't be a relation anymore between how they code MC, and how the Mod Authors code. Which on one hand is really flippin horrible, but in the long term its good as it allows for better mods and removes the weird constraints where mods could never overwrite the base item codes. Lately I am starting to back away from FTB/ Tekkit, its not nearly as much fun as it used to be for me. I think a modified Vanilla server would be the best way to go though. Add in a few things like Towny, MCMMO, would make it a little better. I was also thinking of maybe doing a "nation style" game, which is something that Towny lends itself towards. IDK to be honest, I have loads of ideas, but not really sure how to proceed with it.

I have a coworker that sent a bill for $25.00 to his Dr for a cancelled appointment. He showed up, waited in the lobby, was never seen. He had called and confirmed his appointment and everything days ahead of time. The Dr office paid it. Now, that being said, I think it was a fluke on the part of the dr's accountant, like maybe they weren't paying attention, just saw a bill, and paid it without thinking. Still though, it makes for an awesome story and bragggn rights

Not sure if they will update to 1.7 to be honest, but I do plan on having all of their mods handled by then, and am thinking about reopening a server. If I do, I will keep Towny and MCMMO, as I enjoy them; as well as running 1.7

I've always owned dogs and cats at the same time. In my experience, its never the dogs that are the problem, unless you ahve a serious alpha male dog in your house, and by that I mean a hardcore killer that regularly brings you squirrels or deer haunches (I had an Akita/ Chow mix that did this, Ape was his name, and he was AWESOME! Most brutal dog you would ever meet, but once you were in his "pack" everything was perfect). Most dogs settle down pretty fast around cats, and just like to play with them. Kittens and dogs are loads of fun to watch. Now if you had cats first, and then intro'd the dog, you would have issues. Cats get dumb, and I have had several cats get their asses whooped because they would attack the dogs. Even then, it only takes one time for the dog to bark, growl, chase, and then the cat generally decides to not push his luck anymore. /YMMV

Not really sure to be honest, I think I have grown far to accustomed to the dynamic landscapes that are typical of minecraft, and this wasn't even close. Also the Roads were annoying.

I am helping some knuckleheads run a Vanilla style minecraft server if anyone is interested It has Towny, MCMMO, some voting thing, and a dozen other mods. Its a small world, but so far shaping up rather well. I can drop the IP and what not here if anyone is interested.

This ended up not being as cool as I wanted it to be :-(

That has bene one of my fav internet pics for a while now. LMAO that curly tongue is just hysterical

I have pretty bad allergies to most pets/, but I also have two cats, and grew up around dogs. Just keep them bathed and vacuum at least once a week and you shoud be good. I will post pics of my cats here soon though, need to get them off my phone first. Also, I take two allergy pills to catch what cleaning doesn't. It sucks, but I couldn't imagine not having a pet(s) in the house. Once we get a fence around our house, I plan on getting a Corgi or collie or maybe a Dobe. Not sure.

No joke, I am waiting for a hacked client to come out so we can play again. I really hope they update Battlefront with this Engine. //Oh, and give me a Hoth map!

Most likely not exciting for you blokes at all, but here is my FUCK YEA!!!! Years ago the Dept of Education created the "90/10 rule" "The 90/10 rule requires for-profit colleges to get no more than 90% of their revenues from Title IV federal student aid." For years now at work, we have been asking the bean counters to let us run the numbers for this, but they wouldn't, it was to important for "IT" to get a hold of, and to screw up. There was also some moaning that SQL databases couldn't handle the # of equations involved in this and only Excel could accurately handle it. (Actual quote from the head Accountant, OMG I laughed so hard, in his face when he said it to me. So the Accounting department created this huge series of spreadsheets that pull data from our Financial Aid database (SQL), then they perform this huge series of really poorly written calculations against it, and let it chug along. A 3.2ghz quad core, 12gb Ramm system, with nothing on it but Office, takes about 36 hours for Excel to finish running and spit out the final answer. God help you, if you try to even move the mouse in that period of time as the whole thing could screw up. Figure this thing is parsing a grand total of 556732 payments and invoices, sorting them down into one record for every student for 40869 total records (Yes, these are actual number of records). Then it Codes each item to what type it is, and then tallies it all. From there it starts breaking things apart by Pell, Sub, Unsub, Credit Card, GAE, DANTES, Cash, Scholarship, etc... Super complex to say the least. About 3 weeks ago, I finally had enough of all the bitching about this report, and how hard it is. So I swiped a copy of all of it, and I started recreating it all in SQL. I finished it Wednesday, and presented it to the Presidents Council yesterday morning. While there, we all caught a change from the DoE that was missed and that I didn't know about. They asked me to correct the report and come back next week when the re-run was complete. I changed it on the spot, reran all the numbers, and had a new answer for them within 5 minutes. The accountants didnt' believe me that it could be run that fast, so I ran it again with them watching. And then again, and again, etc.... It only takes about 27 seconds (Depending on server load) for SQL to do what it took Excel 36+ hours. They were not happy with me to say the least. But my boss, and the CIO grabbed me for lunch and want to send me to DBA classes so I can be a proper SQL admin.
