UGH!
I dislike the reward system on stackexchange. It is...manipulative...and the social tier system it begets creates a pretty unfriendly environment for newbies, in my experience.
.replace "stackexchange" "halforums" all
Ha. The "reward system" here is laughable compared to stackexchange.
It's not our fault that every newbie is Chaz's alt.
Oh, I go there for the code. I am less interested in participating. I'm a parasite of stackexchange.I was doing rep off dead laptops on back alleys before I realized how destructive it was and broke the addiction.
Learn from me, and do not travel this path! It only leads to darkness. And misery. Misery and darkness. And interesting code. Darkness, misery, and interesting code.

It's kind of like reading Playboy for the articles.
I'm definitely not interested in the pictures on stackexchange. :-p
For the farewell party of one of my friends (who will leave for 6 months for Preatoria to work in the consulate) we had
cheese fondue,meat fondue AND chocolate fondue. It was incredible. And since her dad is a owns a respectable winestore, we had awsome south-african wine to drink.

Put every James Bond movie theme song on my iPhone yesterday. I will spend all day today with James in my ear. Oh yes, today is going to be good.
They're just setting you up for the fall. "Let the new guy win, we'll get it back and more next game."

This is the newest addition to my Science lab! A family got sick of him, so now I have a tortoise! I'm watching him eat... Little goober is eating the lettuce *around* his protein pellets... EAT YOUR PROTEIN YOU LITTLE GOOBER! He is cute. I was annoyed with him at first, but now I wanna be pals.

Same here. Can't wait.
Also, spent my 3-day vacation sick and then had to drive 150mi back home at 3am in heavy snowfall.
Why is this in the minor victory thread? Because I made it home without incident, and saw zero accidents on the way. Also my cold is finally gone.

I'm going to sympathize here in a different way, because I'm getting emotionally invested in a movie scene and someone has to go "Hey, you okay? What's wrong with you?" It's like "Bitches, I'm trying to experience what feelings are. Go away."
At least you're expecting a refund... we're anticipating having to pay $1200 this year....
Really, my tax refund history (consistently in the $1k+ range when single, $3k+ since getting married) was the best proof to me that I was having way too much money taken out of my checks. I kept trying to rationalize it by saying that if I'd had that money up front I wouldn't have saved any of it throughout the year, but the truth was that I was forcing myself to live paycheck to paycheck and keeping myself at constant risk of having a financial crisis if even one thing I hadn't budgeted for came up. When I finally changed my deductions I was suddenly getting more per check after taxes for working 72 hours than I was before the change working 88 hours. I may have to pay a little at the end of the year next year, but I'll take that trade-off if it means having enough money throughout the course of the year to actually be able to put some away in savings.
An ex-flame just posted this rant on facebook:
Fuck you. I'm marrying a General.
Edit:
I pray for a woman true to her soul. One willing to fight for what she believes in and argue with me when I am wrong. A woman wishing to see a world transform into something better and not dwell in the sewer it has become. I pray for a woman willing to call me an asshole and hold me accountable for the way I treat my world. I pray for a woman to then in that same breathe understand that we both are working this out together. I have not found that woman. Maybe one day I will. In the meantime I pray that the wonderful women I know hold true to themselves and create the worlds they hope to leave as a legacy that this forgotten son knows they can.
It's left me desperate to reply with "Well you had a chance at being with someone like that once but suddenly stopped talking to her when she came back into the country after studying/living abroad. Then you decided to go for the blonde, easy girl who was 100% Jewish and as dumb as a rock. How'd that work out for you? Oh, right. She dumped you and married your best friend after dating him for two weeks. Have fun with that quest for enlightenment."Fuck you. I'm marrying a General.
Edit:
I did post this status in celebration of the anniversary of my first date with one General Specific
Over the past eight months, my life has totally transformed. I have discovered that I do not have to give up who I am in order to take on a partner. This ball busting feminist has a man who will stand beside her, supporting anything she might dream of doing. We hold each other’s hand, call the other person out on their crap, and don’t let ourselves hide behind the veil of bitterness that we once held on to. No secrets. No shame. No matter what. I have found my life partner, the man who compliments me. I was already a whole person, but he made me stronger. I know he’ll always be there no matter what I chose to do with my life.
8 months, 8 minutes, 8 seconds or 8 years- any time I have with him is wonderful. He’s the first lady to my president and I intend to run for consecutive terms.

It really is true: living well is the best revenge.
I am so damn fortunate and happy. I was resolved to be the crazy guinea pig lady for the rest of my days and then BAM! Love.
