I'm in Arizona right now so I missed last night's episode. I love how Lost has completely changed genres since it started. It was like a mystery/adventure show back in 2004, and now it's 100% sci-fi. And the best part is that no one seems to care.

Flip Murray not getting his props because of Chris.
a diagnosis of cancer where you have to look up 5-year survival rates
Damn. Hope that's not you. Best wishes to whoever that is.

Not me, but close family.
And thanks.
I'm used to my family dying of complications from strokes, mostly. This is a different world for me.
Ouch, Moxie. My wife is just getting thourhg a battle with breast cancer (which killed her mother about 25 years ago), and is now in for the post-cancer drugs, the decision on radical hysterectomy, and all that other BS. Cancer can flip people out, too. She moved out and I think blames me and my daughters in part, and it looks like we're headed for the Big D. A total heartbreaker. Add to all that, and you still have the specter of it returning hanging over your head for the rest of your life.
My best friend in the whole wide world just finished his second round of fighting cancer off. I hate it!
Best of luck to you and the family member!
Best of luck to all as well.
My wifes best friend found a lump, they decided to be agressive with a double M, it didn't work. The outlook is not good.
thx
Sorry to hear that Mxy, best of luck.
Voice mail systems that read you off like a hundred options before getting to the part you can leave a message.
Our cell phones allow you to hit one to skip right to the voice mail. I hate it when it doesn't have the option.

When there are pointless blocks on work computers. I can get to 99% of the internet, the only two things that have ever come up as blocked for me are the distance learning site for school (which made submitting assignments in a specific time frame very difficult if that time frame was while I was at work), and the page that displays my final grades. All I want is to see what GPA I graduated with, dammit!
Also, when you DVR the Tigers and Red Wings games with your dad so you can take your mother out for Mothers Day and the DVR cuts off the end of both.
Missed the last inning of the Tigers game and the last 3 minutes or so of the Wings. Its not much, but its really just the fact that I didn't get to see the end.
Your DVR must have known you are a Cleveland fan.
People suck - and they're fucking stupid as they:
always drive slower than the speed limit in my lane. I'm in the right hand lane cause I wanna go just over the limit. If YOU wanna drive slower than the limit stay in the left lane - that's what it's for.
order tons of shit at McDonald's when they are the car in front of me - the reason you're a fat fuck is cause you order the value meal, and the extra burger, and the apple pie, and the fucking sundae. Get the meal and fuck off
look at the menu for ages inside McDonald's. If you ain't there for breakfast you know what they have - order something already or stand to the side until you've made up your mind. I know what I'm ordering - get outta my way while you read.
stop for the amber light - it means hurry up. As a society we really need to fix this. If people start stopping on amber lights the whole fucking system will fall apart. For the morons - RED = stop, AMBER = hurry up or you might get hit, GREEN = go
always come over at the wrong time, like when I'm watching a movie. I'm on holidays. That does not give you the right to come over un-announced. I don't visit you without calling first. You might be masturbating or something. Have the fucking decency to ring me and see what I'm doing before your bored ass rocks up on my doorstep - I have a woman, unlike you - we might be fucking. That's how we got the 2 kids we already have.
always wanna talk about themselves, like they're so important. Congrats on getting your stoned ass out of bed and over to my house. No, I don't know why the TV shows on during the day suck. No I don't wanna go get something to eat. No I don't wanna watch the Wiggles. No matter how fucking stoned you might be I AM NOT - and before your dumbass got here I was happy watching the Boondock Saints. Now that you have interupted my fucking movie at least have the decency to sit there and eat my BBQ chips in fucking silence
always want to talk about their latest mobile phone. Great! You got a new phone. It has internet! It takes photos! It's an mp3 player! You can watch movies on it! You can do email! Great! Can you text people and take phone calls? Good - now Shut The Fuck Up. My movie ain't over yet
The most important part of their new phone is that they didn't use it to see if they could come over.

I had to admit to myself recently that there is pretty much about 0.9% of my time that I really want to spend on visitors. I think that's what it means to be an adult. Now when people come to my door, I say "sure, come on in. I needed help cleaning up the dog's vomit."Quote:

I had a friend call me up last weekend and say "hey, you want me to come over? We can get stoned and watch nature shows!" I was like, "no thanks, I'm thirty-five years old."Quote:

I am with you. I have had entirely enough with nerds and their stupid gadget fetishes. I honestly just want to replace my mobile phone with a Ma Bell classic mechanical 90V rotary dial. "How am I supposed to text you when all you have is a dinosaur phone?" You can't, because every text I get from you is something stupid, and I figured this would discourage you.Quote:

I'm on a dad guy rampage today.
I'm with you on all these P except the Amber light. I hate when people run Amber lights and I'm sitting there waiting to turn left. People keep doing it and pretty soon you've been sitting at the same light for 20 minutes trying to turn left.
Amber means slow down and stop unless you have to slam on the breaks to stop.
Chris, if you are waiting to turn left and people keep going through the amber light just do what I do:
I edge out as far as I can without being hit and then when the light goes red I turn!
It's not illegal - technically I was already in the intersection when it changed. I couldn't just stay in the middle of the fucking intersection, could I?
Camry drivers. None of them know how to fuckin drive!Quote:

It all starts with the purchase. Who buys a Camry? Simple -- the person who can't (or refuses to) make an educated decision. Camry's are no-brainers: they're fairly roomy, blandly styled, run forever, and are competitively priced... i.e., they are a "safe purchase". This person, being incapable of making a decision, chooses the safe bet, rather than comparatively shop against like-models such as the Mazda 6, Honda Accord, or Chevy Malibu.
That's too much work for those asslicking fucktards! Might give them a headache. Too much "thinking". Too much "work".
So, they buy the Camry, and proceed to switch lanes at the last minute, hold up left-turning traffic, stop in the middle of the street to search for an address, and generally give the rest of us that headache they so desperately tried to avoid.
That's why I drive the way I drive. I rarely get caught at intersections or anywhere. I know where I'm going - the rest of you just need to get the fuck on with it or get out of the wayQuote:

No thanks. Then I get hit by some dumbass illegal that doesn't have car insurance and I'm fucked because my insurance would only cover me if I was at fault. Colorado isn't a no fault state so the person at fault (the uninsured person) has to pay my medical bills.Quote:

*Exact Dialogue between me and officer (I will never forget this)*
Officer: Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me: No sir.
Officer: Why did you turn through the red light?
Me: I was already in the intersection, I was simply clearing the intersection.
Officer: Why didn't you wait for the next light?
Me: I was obstructing pedestrian traffic and oncoming traffic.
*Officer has puzzled look on his face*
Officer: Let me see your license and registration
Comes back 10 minutes later
Officer: Next time wait for the next light.
I thought traffic law says the first 3 cars can turn in that situation.
Otherwise, when the fuck can you go? If you didn't get time to turn at the first time, whats to say you will be able to the second time!
2 cars per yellow. That was the we rolled in Bay City anyway.
3 cars downriver.
In Chicago, they have those cameras popping up at all the big intersections, and will mail you a ticket if you turn on the red.
Well, fuck Chicago.
It has to be legal to turn on the red in that situation. Can someone check?
Like WL said: If you couldn't turn the first time what makes you think you'll be able to on the next green?
Being asked to fax important time-critical paperwork to a phone number that has been disconnected.

JP Morgan Chase is cutting their Flexible Rewards program after May 31.
So no longer is there an extra-incentive to pay via debit card (although it is by far the most conveinent and efficient means to do so).
I was saving my points to get an Odyssey 2-ball putter, but now that's not going to happen.
Here in Omaha we have those "turn left" green arrows that come before the main light turns green. They are a miraculous invention right up there with the "give a penny, leave a penny" cup at your local convenience store. There's none of this "one car gets to make the left turn" BS that I grew up with in Detroit, especially during rush hours. There are also very few accidents because drivers aren't fighting to make that left turn they've waited 45 minutes for while the last few cars coming from the opposite direction fight to run the yellow and red light.Quote:

Cause over here in the Land of Oz some have the turning arrows and some don't.
