Okay, Sage successfully stalked, now I can play ten million DS games for no cost. This is really neat. I even oughta take a picture of the DS, it's a limited Triforce edition one, with golden exterior and everything. This is awesome.

AIM Chatrooms suck.

AIM chatting through Trillian isn't much better.

Dunno if anyone in the group I need chatting for could handle an IRC channel.

Any suggestions?

Idun · « **Reply #928 on:** June 13, 2009, 05:07:26 AM »

Gmail. Don't know if it has a group chat feature.

Grefter · « **Reply #929 on:** June 13, 2009, 11:56:23 AM »

If you can handle AIM Chat you can handle IRC. Just a case of the others using a more user friendly interface than your normal dedicated client fair. I think Trillian has IRC capabilities maybe? Or am I just thinking of something else maybe. Otherwise, well Chatzilla works.

Hmmm, Saturday mornings at work are like camping in the living room. And yesterday was Valentine's Day to boot. Huh.

Moving still fucking sucks. At least the house is clean and god damn it it will stay that way for longer than a week I swear to fucking god.

Note: Cleanliness and organization may or may not last the day.

EDIT: Oh, yes. Top of the list of things that sucked: Left side of a desk breaking off while moving it. Causing the entire thing to fall on my feet. Tennis Shoes make poor foot protectors on that front. In other news I need new feet.

Went over to Pyro's place with Cid and Shale this weekend. That was a ton of fun (As was watching the duo chain play XF). Sadly the Busch Gardens part of the trip got rained out by a rather monsoonal summer storm. Harsh.

Said storm began immediately after Super said "It looks like it's going to clear up soon." Coincidence? I think not.

A sign that the IT staff just doesn't care about a computer:

It's hooked up to a printer but it's not given permissions to print. Not just a group printer, but it's own printer. Oh, and it's had malware on it for the past week, sitting right on the desktop. Hi, system security 2009.

Meeplelard · « **Reply #935 on:** June 15, 2009, 09:52:11 PM »

So yeah, it was threatening to rain all day, dark ominous clouds coming in slowly, wind was picking up in that thick kind of humid style that is always indicative of "big thunder storm."

So what happened then?

How about now?

OblivionKnight · « **Reply #938 on:** June 16, 2009, 01:17:08 AM »

Have I mentioned how much I hate pharmacy law exams? Have I mentioned how much I hate pharmacy law in general?

I swear, if I ever meet ID in real life, I'm going to knife him. Not because I hate him, but he stands for law, and I can't suffer him to live for that.

In other randomly related news - my brain feels like it's going to explode. And there are reasons for this beyond just pharmacy law. Bleh, fun night, but wow...I feel like EMOK right now ;_; I think I'm going to go cut myself for a few days. Be back once all the bad blood is out.

So I come into work today. My boss says "Yeah, there's nothing for you to do next week, so start making a poster!". We've barely even done anything, I have no idea what I will make a poster over.

Shale · « **Reply #940 on:** June 16, 2009, 04:16:23 PM »

You could make a poster about how awesome Will Powers is?

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #941 on:** June 16, 2009, 04:50:25 PM »

I was talking to the lady I'm living with who is a stay-at-home mother and she said that her brother was begrudging of the fact that she was a housemom. My grandma and I had a discussion about waiting on your husband; I told flat out that if I was working the same amount as a man was, I wasn't going to wait on him. She said that she didn't think women who wouldn't wait on their husbands loved them as much as the women who did.

I have a lot of friends who want to just be a housemom after they get married, and I always found this beyond strange. It just seems like a really weird thing to make your goal in life. I don't feel like wanting to have someone on an equal level as you is diminishing to a relationship, but a lot of people seem to think that it is.

How many of you had mothers that stayed at home? My mom worked aalll the time, far more than my dad.

Pyro · « **Reply #943 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:16:19 PM »

My mother worked and did a majority of the housework, although my father cooked/cleaned some too of course, and handled yardwork/car work/manly stuff.

She still worked a fair bit more than he did, but she's an extremely giving woman and she does this all the time for way too many people. Women get the short end of the stick in today's society in a lot of respects.

My mom was an assistant to a neurosurgeon before she had my sister and me. She gave that up both because she couldn't handle it emotionally anymore and to raise us, but I both agree and disagree. I agree to the fact that it shouldn't be a primary goal, but if thats what they want to do for their kids, then more power to them. I don't personally think it makes them less equal in the relationship despite the money issue. That part is really up to how both of them mentally handle the situation. Housemoms still do a lot of work (unless their husbands make enough that they have a nanny or cleaners or something), so it's all about recognizing and respecting what they do.

Strange though, I usually see people arguing that Moms who don't want to stay home "Don't love their kids", not the husband.

Luther Lansfeld · « **Reply #945 on:** June 16, 2009, 05:26:53 PM »

Pyro: Mom cooks, cleans, does laundry, and is the only person who works in the household. My dad as far as I'm concerned should be living on the street considering how much he contributes to the family, but she just does everything for him. It feels me with venom especially since I know that my grandma's archaic beliefs on the roles of women is what makes him think this crap.

Sopko: My grandma is kind of insane. I can respect wanting to be a housemother, but I just can't fathom going to college with that goal in mind is all. If it is what ends up happening, fine.

My mother did this very begrudgingly, and harbored bitter resentment towards my father for it for decades (long story). She was a lot happier once she stopped being a housemom. Then she left father and took the reins. Our household might have been a lot healthier if she hadn't accepted being a housewife, leaving her job and studies back then, since it'd have saved years of emotional blackmail between them at worst. But then, I always felt like my mother was never the type to get married. >_>

Make that one decade and it's mostly what my household was like. And that's 'cause my dad's a chauvinistic (sp?) pig. Way I see it, people do whatever they're happy doing. If those conflict, then those people prob'ly shouldn't be together.

In other news, I'm done with exams! I never have to do Business Studies ever again AHAHAHAHAHAHA!

AAA · « **Reply #949 on:** June 16, 2009, 06:56:21 PM »

My mom stayed at home and seemed to enjoy it, but then she and my dad got divorced and she had to get work, which due to being a college dropout was lifting boxes at UPS. Not very pleasant at all.
