TO MOLLIFY LINGJACKSON OVERDRIVEBERT WHO IS THE SQUEAKY DESERT FIEND, POST ON THIS THREAD AND ONE OF YOUR FRIENDLY ITR MODS WILL TELL YOU THAT YOU ARE WICKED AWESOME, AND POSSIBLY OFFER AN EFFUSIVE ST

omg that stuff white people like thread.

am I the only white person who was like, "hahaha white people do like apple and biz markie!"

rush limbaugh is a longtime mac user

and EVERYBODY likes biz markie

and that thread sucks really hard

i am racist against people who dont like biz markie

I forgot how atrocious sterling's posts on race threads are

Instead of reading that thread, I will pick my kids up from school. This may be the only thing that saves me, guys.

hey guys I know what'll make friday afternoon really awesome and fun and go by really fast. let's talk about RACE! yeah that is a good idea, let's do that.

then we can talk about class and gender.

I am sure we will make some awesome insights.

sterling's apparent belief that he is intellectually inculpable for using white-boy-book-learnin-liberal-yuppie-bred stereotypes as his straw men because the first word in that string doesn't apply to him personally is unbelievably irritating to me bump dammit bump

there should be a killfile for certain thread topics, I think.

goddamn now the cesar milan thread is going down; today is an angry day on ILX.

HEY GUYS IVE BEEN BUSY TODAY WAHT ARE SOME A++++++ AWESOME THREADS FOR ME TO VISIT?

kantlips needs to teach this dude to stop posting on the internet and nut up: So if there's this girl you really like and you're thinking about going to the cinema with her, but fears she might think you're coming on to her

I think I just traumatized my mother by telling her we're watching The 40-Year Old Virgin. I should not have done that on her birthday!

oh wtf we fell behind the white people like stuff thread

THIS IS AN INJUSTICE.

jesus fucking christ if i have to stay here four more goddamn months i better get a new job. because this stupid fucking shoe store is really fucking killing me. SERIOUSLY. it's like one fucking bastard-ass-dick-fuck after another. I JUST CAN'T TAKE IT MY SKIN IS TOO THIN.

rubyredd,

my sister (from US) spent two years filling out visa applications and visiting 65465356783 consular offices in Boston, Bogotá, New York and Medellín to get her fiancé a travel visa for her Colombian fiancé, finally got him here and married him, and now has 90 days to get his permit to work and identification –– a process that takes between 100 and 120 days.

it is incredibly, incredibly, incredibly frustrating, and i sympathize with her (and your) plight. u.s. gov't are a bunch of sleazebuckets when it comes to preventing access to the country by dint of red tape and absurdly and intentionally complex processes of registration. my sis has made great use of the community forums at visajourney.com, and jumped ahead of her fellow applicants using advice garnered from the forums. i recommend you might take a look, if you haven't already.

bonus: you speak english, which most of the applicants don't.

to get her fiancé a travel visa for her Colombian fiancé -- wtf?

yeah i think i might have a marginally easier time, being from nz. there aren't a million and one nzers trying to get to the US - it's not really our 'culture' because most nzers tend to go to europe and/or asia. most ppl think i'm weird for wanting to move to the states.

hopefully getting the one year work visa won't be too hard - they're milking me for cash because it's a sponsorship agency i have to go through, and they do a lot of the paperwork. then we have the whole year to get married and start applying for a spousal visa. the other bonus is that the nz embassy in the US probably isn't that busy so will have a lot of time for me (as my best friend found when she moved to switzerland).

i guess it's a testament to how much your sis loves her (new) husband that she's persisted. honestly, as fucking sucky as this whole situation is, i can't imagine giving up.

Rr, god, sympathies on the jobsuck. (long strings of swears on the boards help though, huh? thanks, boards.)

yeah swears are amazingly satisfying and calming, but would have an even greater effect if sweared directly at customers.

jordan is talking about selling his entire collection of bukowski books to come see me for 3 days.

<3 tru luv <3

and yes, directly at would be better. i often want to swear at my boss but i only do it in my head. really bad names. may no one i work with ever read this, please please please.

talking him out of it was possibly one of the hardest things i've ever had to do :(

but yes it is most definitely <3 tru luv <3

I wonder if it is this thread that has given me insane flashbacks to my former life of retail hell. Welll, no matter. Vent away - you've got a sympathetic ear here.

Home from party and putting the kids to bed waaaaaaaaay past their bedtimes... tomorrow should be fun. (Where "fun" = horribly cranky children.)

THREAD TITLE BLAADOWWWW

I blame myself. ;_;

Argh, I have to get on the treadmill now. 5.5 miles seems like a really long, pointless way to go today.

perhaps if you walked to somewhere 5.5 miles away instead of on a rubber loop in your house, these feelings of pointlessness might subside

Also if you were eating pie while walking.

just do a shot every half mile

a shot of pie

a shot of pie-infused vodka

I appreciate your heartening words of encouragement.

GO TEAM CHERRY PIE FILLING INFUSED VODKA

wait no that would suck

Didn't you try to create an apple pie drink? As I recall, your review of it was not entirely complimentary.

I tend to prefer chocolate or cream pies to fruit pies anyway. Although French Silk pie infused vodka sounds like a recipe for disaster.

jesus, 10 hours since the last post??? we have failed in our duties! but i still love you, ITR. <3 <3 <3

cutest thing in the world: jordan's mum sent me a valentine's day card!

funniest thing in the world: my sis saw my evil demented crazy wack-job ex today and when he asked how i was, she replied with "she's great! she's moving to the US and getting MARRIED!" and he almost fell over from the shock.

i know it's lame to be all smug towards your ex, but goddamn, it's such a good feeling.

sunday flight from PVD to LAX bump

xpost hahaha yes. Although there's only one that I ever feel that way about (cuz I haaaaate him).

Good morning! I am going ice skating again this afternoon and also A. bought hot cross buns which I love. YAY

oh so hung over oh no

Drink a bunch of water, take a couple Advil and take a nap. Might help!
