So...

I'm not so sure that it'll work all that great with toast. If it does anything like my toaster oven does, it'll just pretty much dry it out and be done. Of course, don't let me take away any excuse for you to play with fire!!

It sure looks that way. Either an orgasm from an alien tentacle or she's getting hit somewhere.

I had filed for disability back somewhere between January and February. My doctors office took their sweet time giving Unum the information they needed. I finally gave up after I couldn't live off unemployment alone. That's when I got the job at MedCorp.

I went back to work a little earlier than advised and I'm doing the job my doctor doesn't think I can handle but everything has been and I feel fine. The rep I've been working with called me a few minutes ago. She said I had a fat check in the mail. A good portion of my lasik just got paid for. I bought my gps unit and I'm so tempted to buy a 360 but I'm waiting until after spring quarter is over.

WOOOT!

Way to go on getting it though. It's good to hear that SOME people actually get what they are supposed to.

Did you know that once you turn 55, the US deems you as "untrainable" for a new job? Weird huh?

I'll be the first to start posting in the thread of random subjects.

The girlfriend and I did the black Friday shopping deal. We were going to get up early and hop online to order her mom a laptop for Christmas. Somehow the alarm on the phone went straight to snooze. It's the most obnoxious, annoying ring tone on the env3 so we always here it. Missed that chance. We went out, got what we needed for Christmas and called it a day.

Last night we were going to go to bed early. Girlfriend is on her facebook then decided to check Walmart to see what laptops they had advertised for the week. The laptop we originally wanted to get her mom was on sale still. Black Friday price and it was 12am this morning. We called the nearest Walmart and they had three in stock. We now have her mom's laptop and I have a nice new laptop I'm loving. I'm used to having a full sized keyboard so this has taken some adjusting. A notebook cooler is in order also, it gets rather warm in my lap.

For $300 it's a nice laptop. Not a high end but it's a dual core HP labeled as an "entertainment" notebook.

I kind of wanted to take advantage of some of those laptop specials too. But alas, no money to do so.

I recently got a letter from my old mortgage company and they wanted to settle with me on the difference from my house and the foreclosure. It was a pretty good deal and I just happened to be getting in the amount they were asking for, so I took it. I'm kind of glad too since I won't have to worry about that hanging over my head anymore. Now I am no longer just a deadbeat who owes them money. I'm now a deadbeat that settled with them. 😊

YouTube has a deal where you can watch the three "Man With No Name" movies for FREE!!! (With advertisements of course).

Whoa, I've been gone a while, And now I come back to find that the whole site's been hacked. I need to stop by more often. :P

I don't know if this applies to the env3 or not, but my env2 won't sound the alarm if the phone is set to vibrate. It'll just vibrate instead, which is impossible to hear. Stupidest design decision ever.

Actually, I like that. I purposely keep my phone on vibrate, and prefer my alarms to vibrate. Although I guess a better design would have been to allow you to choose "vibrate" for the alarm but otherwise make a sound on any setting.

So, is this thread going to be split and the old stuff archived, like it was before the hack? I think it was nice to have a smaller thread to work with.

Is it just me or have the phone vibrate settings been getting louder over the years. It seems like its gotten to the point where vibrate is almost as audible as your regular ringtone.

It has. My roommate's phone is disgustingly loud on vibrate. Mine, thankfully, is not too loud. Wasn't the entire point of the vibrate mode to notify you that you got a call/text withOUT making sound?

I can sleep almost anything. Keeping my phone on vibrate would be a bad idea.

They have. I had an older samsung flip phone and upgraded to the env3. The vibrate on that is not only loud but can double as something else.

Woot 4000 posts! Boo same colored stars! Woot +1 rep power!

In other news, it's 4:26am and I have a 9:30am class. 'Night.

I am fond of Nokia mobiles for, among other things, the alarms that still sound even when they are in silent mode. I used to think that was typical of all mobile phones until a few of my friends bemoaned the fact their non-Nokia phones are not like that. A friend's Nokia will actually alert for the alarm when the device is powered down. I am not sure how that works but I have witnessed it myself so I know it's on the level.

Man, I should know better than to visit the library the day before a midterm. The allure of a new book is too powerful for studying to fight.

Damn! My girlfriend and I are going to Hamburg, PA this weekend for a reptile show. She doesn't get off work until 5 so we won't be leaving until 7 or so since she's an hour from my place. We won't pull into the hotel until after 3am according to google maps. I'm going for 5 hours.

Do not take the ramblings of sub-normals to heart, Icey.

Have you decided on any games you want?

-m.

Metal Gear Solid 4, Rock Band 2, and Uncharted 2 for sure. Also lookng at Fallout 3 and COD: Modern Warfare 2

Well the day has come for me to say "Hasta la pasta people!!" I go to "turn myself in" for boot camp in about 1 1/2 hours from now. Whenever I get access again, I'll be back. You can take that as a threat if you like.

I hope you all have a good Christmas, Channukah, or whatever holiday you heathen bastards are celebrating (just kidding), and New Years.

Later!

Meet Piglet. A Jungle Tremper mix leopard gecko. He will be four months old Thursday. The name may not be original but once he was settled into his new home he has been eating nonstop. He finally slowed down when the weather got cold but he's still making an effort to make me go broke. It's a good thing I have my own colony of mealworms.

So I saw my PS3 tonight! I helped my mom and dad bring in all the Chirstmas gifts to put under the tree this year. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to actually open and play the PS3, though.

Also: Merry Christmas everyone!

Hopefully everyone has enjoyed the holidays so far. I've been enjoying spending time with family more and more every year.

Random: Today I randomly encountered Entei while training outside of Ecruteak in Pok�mon Crystal. First random legendary encounter for me. Kinda sucks it fled immediately. 😛

I had a good time over the holidays for the most part. About a month ago my computer fried so I have no computer atm. Sucks really but I have been playing the piss out of MW2 on my Ps3.

Wow, this site looks different now. O_o

Edit: Also, this is just plain cool. Look near the half-way mark.

After precisely 15 months, on the dot to the minute, I have been dumped. Things were basically going perfectly until Thursday, January 7, when I received a disheartening e-mail. The reasoning was essentially that I am here and she is 3 hours away. It was a cowardly move. I was in love.

Sucks dude. I got dumped before because I was in the hospital twice and she couldn't handle it anymore, so she ran away rather than stick with me through it.

Don't worry, you'll find someone else with time.
