Ugh. I think I almost gave myself a headache. And for what benefit? Reading 700+ (nearly 800) posts of varying degrees of stupidity/bigotry/misogyny/racism/etc on Facebook about why Clinton shouldn't be president. My faith in 18 year old boys has lowered. Laziness in typing forum posts still irritates me ( Read more... )

While it is really tricky to find out the truth, it's best to know your candidates. But I'd say wait until they've settled on who the final race is going to be between. People are retarded about politics, especially where poor Hillary is concerned.

Also, try downloading OpenOffice (www.openoffice.org) to fix the issue with Excel. Microsoft changed formats in Office 2007 to adding an x to the end of the file name, and now nothing else can read it but OpenOffice and Office 2007. Good news is, that link is free to download and works with everything. ♥

Yeah...I might as well wait. And I think I'll avoid any research on Facebook.

My dad advised OpenOffice as well. I'll dink around with thing (or rather, Brazil probably will) a bit more and if we can't figure out what the crap is going on with my two versions we very well might go with it. Thanks.

Sucks about The Dragon:( So strange that that one book is so rare, it was so good! Did you know Ree Soesbee lives in Seattle? You should hunt her down and ask her for a copy^_^

Side note: Have you ever been to Stephanie Meyer's website? If not you should, and check this out:

Wow, I can't believe you've never voted. Though I suppose I shouldn't be, considering that the voter turnout in this country is like six percent. But I'm glad you've decided to do your civic duty this time around. ^_^ If you're looking to do research, you might check out the candidates' personal websites or tune into a sociopolitical-based radio station like Air America. And there's always Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, of course. ^_^

Sorry about the Dragon book. I love ebay and all, but you really gotta watch out for bid snipers.

Yeah, I have wanted to vote, it just...well, going to school in Utah made things rather complicated. I got my mail too late, then didn't know how to change my address, then forgot to, and well... I finally fixed this when I changed my name and driver's license.

And those bid snipers really are punks. Josh had set our limit at $10 (though we easily could have afforded 20, and that was still cheap in comparison) and they won for $15... *sigh*
