So, another case of irresponsible gun ownership. I'm not anti-gun, although short of a zombie apocalypse, I'll never own them. But, I'm guessing it wouldn't be a stretch to think this kid ended up with the gun as a result of someone not taking care of their guns.

suggestions? thanks!

CDex (CD extractor)

free

before you DL/install it though, make sure DL and install LAME so it uses that codec to do the ripping

so staring at a letter from Sallie Mae (student loan) saying I'm in Forbearance (aka, I can not pay the $300+ a month payment....you know, not finding a job as politicians take bribes and CEO's get million dollar payouts for failing) until 6/12/2012 and just got a bill from Sallie Mae for a payment due in March.

guess I'll scan in a copy of the...

in other news, if I call a creditor for a settlement and they ask "What happened to cause the situation?", is it wrong of me to go "Have you noticed the economy lately?" or "George Bush?" or "Ronald Reagan"? just curious.
whatever

I gave up Lent for Lent years ago. Probably was easier since I'm not practicing any Christian based religions.

is the new motto of a certain political party "We'll protect your right to be born so we can screw you over ourselves?"

just wondering.

It's not new. They are just being more vocal about it.

watching Real Time with Bill Mahar last night...and he was talking about a new law in Virginia.

so I looked it up.

are you fucking kidding me?

hey, don't the Republicans argue that the government should be smaller and less invasive?
mad
nene:
Less invasive... was that intended to be a pun?

Reading that article just pissed me the fuck off. mad
selene:
they only argue that when it benefits them...like deregulation on corporations or tax breaks for the super wealthy. Now, when it comes to women or the poor, they're all about regulations and deprivation. >frown

People get mushy and start acting queer
It is definitely the most annoying day of the year
This day needs to get the hell over with and pass
Before I shove a dozen roses up Cupid's ass
I'll spend the day so drunk I can't speak...

over a foot of snow has fallen in the past day. and more is coming. the driveway has been shoveled a few times already.

while the snow blower sits in the garage, unused.

the moral of this story?

make sure you have gas in the snow blower (or gas to put into it) before the big snow fall. then again, last year, my step-father knew...

conversation this morning at work....

an employee comes walking in, having ridden his motorcycle into work (about an hour). his face is beat red and he has a huge grin on his face!

Me: "Nice ride in?"

Him: "Yup, it was 16 F when I left my house!"

Me: "Okay, so besides tornadoes, earthquakes, and volcanoes, what won't you ride in?"

Him: "I've ridden through...

I have friends like that. Bundle up and ride everywhere, all year long. Some of the more sane ones buy electric undergarments for their suits (they plug in to the motorcycle's charging system).
