That sounds like a plan.

I'm watching my ebay listing end. It's fun watching the price go up.

― KitCat, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 13:39 (nineteen years ago)

Yay! It sold for just 4 dollars less than I bought it for! Happy dance!

― KitCat, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 13:48 (nineteen years ago)

Yay, Sarah! Where is it now? XP oh good.

OMG MY MOM AT THIS EARLY HOUR DRIVING ME CRAZY.

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 13:53 (nineteen years ago)

Gad- she comes up with weird fucking shit and then goes on and on about it--we're trying to get some repairs done around the house up in Michigan and between her and the redneck handyman I'm wanting to jump out of the window.

We agreed to paint my dad's bedroom off-white. She calls me and tells me that the handyman said he wanted to put in paneling. I call him, he says "Your mom suggested the paneling, not me." I call her and she says, "No, I never suggested paneling. So we'll just paint it blue(!) like we originally decided."

And we all agreed to fix the front porch, and agreed on a price. Then somehow in 2.5 days they both get the idea that the porch deal is off.

Good job Jon's fiance!

And good job Jesse for taking care of the Widow K*hr. You're a good son.

I am now afraid to go into the VA Tech thread. I think I'll just stay out and go do laundry instead.

― Jenny, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

It drives me crazy because I can see myself in what she's doing--messing around with very simple things until they get complicated. It reminds me of the ways I am dysfunctional. Plus I slept poorly and had stupid dreams that disturbed what shitty sleep I did have.

Let's look at soothing pictures sloths, shall we?

No joke, I feel better already!

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:08 (nineteen years ago)

Stay off the VA Tech thread. It's built on an Indian burial ground.

Anyone know how to figure out what my i.p. address is? Isn't there some command line shit I can do? I was good at DOS when I was a kid.:(

― Jordan, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:24 (nineteen years ago)

I KNOW, I KNOW!!!

Start menu > Run

Type in cmd

When the black window pops up, enter ipconfig

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:26 (nineteen years ago)

Wow! That was gratifying, knowing something about computer! (The only computer classes I ever took in HS were BASIC and DOS).

I KNOW I KNOW!

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:28 (nineteen years ago)

Thx Jesse, that sounds familiar.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 14:29 (nineteen years ago)

Or this website: http://www.ip-adress.com/index.php

― dan m, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:01 (nineteen years ago)

I tried one of those websites first, but I'm using a virtual machine and I don't think it's accurate.

In Is There No Place On Earth For Me?,the book I'm reading about the woman with life-long schizophrenia, the author talks about problems with misdiagnoses due to foreign-born and educated doctors' being unfamiliar with subtleties of language and culture. The subject of the book is interviewed by her Taiwanese doctor who deems her free from delusions and hallucinations, despite the fact that she claims that she is surrounded by stars: that a doctor who treated her is Lou Costello, that she has met Mary Poppins, her X-ray techinician was Peter Lawford, and the security guard at her apartment was Don Knotts. Later interviews revealed that those were just names to him.

Also she brings up the interesting case Robert Torsney, a NYC police officer who was approached by a 15 year-old African-American boy who asked him a question. Torsney shot the boy in the head, point blank, and then walked back to his cruiser. In his trial his attorney claimed insanity, as Torsney claims the boy pulled a shiny gun-like object out of his pocket but no such objects could be found.

He had no history of psychosis, and had never been known to have prior hallucinations, openly said that he didn't care for black people, and had been angry about having to spend Thanksgiving Day with "criminals," the(all-white) jury found him not guilty by reason of mental defect, and put him in a hospital. Once there, the doctors were unable to make a diagnosis of any mental defect and they ordered him released within 60 days. The court demanded that he remain institutionalized and be treated. However since there was nothing to treat, he was considered cured, and after some time, was released.

Then, ha ha, he petitioned for his full retirement benefits ($14K/year in 1977) with the force since he was unable to work due to mental disability.

xpost I have to use a virtual machine for some of my stuff at work, I hate it.

― dan m, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

(mostly because it's slow)

― dan m, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:11 (nineteen years ago)

Slow, yes, it's awful when I have two or three open at a time, but it's kinda indispensable for what I do.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:13 (nineteen years ago)

two or three open at a time

O_o

― dan m, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:23 (nineteen years ago)

I want sausage. And an avocado sandwich on crusty bread.

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:27 (nineteen years ago)

I want those things instead of my dentist appt.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:29 (nineteen years ago)

a moderate amount of tenacious green sputum

― Jordan, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

urgonagetraped.jpg

― deej, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

I want those things instead of my dentist appt.

X 2

What about sputum?

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

Where is this apartment?

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:36 (nineteen years ago)

sputum

A random quote from my work. Also the title of my next novel.

― Jordan, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:38 (nineteen years ago)

deej, what 'hood? i felt safe enough in oak park w/o bars on the garden level. i'm in a basement now and there are bars in the dining room but not in the bedroom, living room, or kitchen. but seriously, god fucking help whomever breaks in to my little shack.

― chicago kevin, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:40 (nineteen years ago)

Where's the apartment? I would be concerned, but I have your average woman's heightened sense of personal safety. I'd probably share my concerns about security with the property and see if s/he won't put in some bars or a security system. I would also make sure the windows are secure - the windows in our apartment don't lock, but we're on the second floor behind a security gate. If we lived on the first floor or it was easy to put a ladder up against our building, I would have kicked up a fuss, or just not taken this apartment.

― Jenny, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:41 (nineteen years ago)

Just put a big NO FEAR sticker in the window and you'll be fine.

― Eazy, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Get an automatic robot dog bark.

― KitCat, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:45 (nineteen years ago)

Sarah, you forgot to ask where the apartment is.

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:47 (nineteen years ago)

EZ OTM

― dan m, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:48 (nineteen years ago)

yup.

― KitCat, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:51 (nineteen years ago)

Ha ha from my schizophrenia book--

The state hospital, which housed patients with serious delusions had a mural that was "meant to soothe the patients." The mural featured a princess who bore similarities to the Virgin Mary, a white unicorn with garlands on his neck, and a multicolored snake wrapped around a tropical tree. The patients were not soothed.

― Jesse, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 15:56 (nineteen years ago)

I am totally out of my element on the gun control thread. I've never even touched a gun. My only experience with them is hearing about when people get murdered. I have a hard time expanding my perspective when it comes to this issue.

― jaymc, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:01 (nineteen years ago)

I'm anti-gun but I'm glad I went to a shooting range that one time, just to know what it's like to handle and shoot a real gun. Jesse and Courtney were talking about going sometime, yeah?

― Jordan, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:03 (nineteen years ago)

I think I'd be too scared to even touch a gun.

― KitCat, Tuesday, 17 April 2007 16:05 (nineteen years ago)
