Vacation Stories
I have a four year old niece, who is named Molly, but who I refer to as "The Cutest Niece In the World", or TCNITW, for short. I was able to spend a great deal of time with her on my last vacation, and like anyone that old, the things that come out of her mouth are both amazing and amusing, so I thought I'd share a couple ( Read more... ) -
Single Payer Health Care now!
Dear DentalWorks-
While I appreciate the wonderful work you did on my wife a year ago, the reason you have not been paid is that your billing department apparently consists of a bunch of monkeys at typewriters.
I have repeatedly given you both the correct group and ID #'s for the policy my wife is on; I have verified that the procedures she ( Read more... ) -

Etiquette Question
Here's the situation: I got a bunch of 'puter upgrades for Christmas that I have NO idea how to install (I'm a software guy, not a hardware guy). A friend offered to come over 'sometime this afternoon' and help me install them.

Because it can't be said often enough
Copy this sentence into your LiveJournal if you're in a heterosexual marriage, and you don't want it "protected" by the bigots who think that gay marriage hurts it somehow.

Nicked from redqueenmeg
Post 10 random things about yourself.
1. When I was 9, I read an old Tales from the Crypt comic that featured cannibal butterflies, and to this day, butterflies freak me the hell out.
2. As political as I can get, Democracy? Not a fan. I think we, as a nation, have gotten so stupid that we can no longer be trusted to rule ourselves.
3. I ( Read more... ) -
Hadron Collider question
Ok, so if I understand this correctly, the objection to the Hadron Collider is that in attempting to re-create the big bang by smashing protons together, there is a chance that a black-hole will form, y/y ( Read more... ) -

Am I Crazy?
Alright, first a quick recap to refresh those of you that do know me, and fill in those of you that don't: I've been married for almost 6 years, and for most of the time, I'd say it's been really great. In fact, most of the time, I'd say it was the best thing I've ever done. We met on the net, and she agreed to move here after we got married. ( Read more... )
