My father just started getting into 9/11 conspiracies...jooooooooooooooy. Can't wait for him to give me a classic "Don't believe what you read" speech, while then looking down on me for not agreeing with him.

  4. GOTO 1

I have the worst cold right now, but I already paid for three days of lift tickets that I have to use. I took the longest nap yesterday.

So I bought cheap seat for the train I'm travelling on right now, but for whatever reason my seat is in the business section car.

And I don't find the seat comfortable. I would rather be in economy class.

I am sitting across the table from a couple Patriots fans, though, so I did get to engage in a bit of celebrating again.

I arrived at work with a note that a room was down due to "locked bathroom door."

That's how episodes of Law & Order get started, so I'd better check it out. All clear. Messy, but clear.

One of the 'going away' presents I have gotten from a sort-of-congregant: an envelope full of tracts. Not Chic, sadly, but still, tracts. I just. Ug. *facepalm*

I'm genuinely puzzled as to why he thought I would need/want them. No answer I've come up with yet is particularly good.

Maybe they watched Halforums Academy :awesome:

In which case I'm surprised there isn't an inquisitorial squad.

I do wonder if behaviour on-line has ever come up in a disciplinary meeting. "Behaviour unbecoming" is technically a thing around here. Technically. I've never ever seen or heard of it being enforced. Which is probably a good thing.

This strikes me as the type of person who leaves tracts instead of tips at restaurants, etc., in which case they need to smacked on the nose with those tracts.

They do "street ministry", so they are indeed the type of person that needs to be swatted with their own material. And maybe a 2x4.

This won't mean much to anyone but me, but the following video is a fly-over of my home town sponsored by the Minden Volunteer Fire Dept. & Rescue.

At 1:32 right behind the fire station (the house on the left with the trailer parked out back) is the house I grew up in. At 2:58 they show the Veteran's Memorial in the "center" of town.

I haven't been back there since my mom had to sell her house and I didn't know anyone any longer the last time I was there anyway. Mom's house is up for sale again and I want to buy it, but the wife doesn't want to move an hour away from our jobs.

And if you want to see the house they are selling, here's the listing on Zillow. Fuck I want this so bad. But it's weird to look at. First, my sister sold it for $110,000 and they are selling it just a year and two months later having done almost nothing for $155,000. Second, most of the furnishings came with the house so when I look at these pictures it's just my mom & dad's house but moved around a bit with a few different knick knacks thrown in. The big red couch, the kitchen table, the guest bed, the pool table, the downstairs couch, the fridge, stove...all came with the house. I keep expecting to see my parents sitting there.

It's kind of hard to be homesick for a place you know you'll never call home again.

Man. I gotta get me some caffeine or something because I'm downright maudlin tonight.

Just think of it this way: if you were to move back there it means that every night you'd be sleeping in the room where your parents regularly fucked.

By the time they moved there I don't think that was even a possibility. Their marriage wasn't exactly a physical one most of my life. To which my mother complained often. Loudly.
