      Think of it this way. You can move the eiffel tower if you were really keen. The milky way, not so much.

  3. considering how to convince my nearly 90 year old granddad and the rest of the family that they really should be in an assisted living facility - for their OWN safety.

      this is a bad situation but you know what's best here, not them, and unless they're willing to buck up and help, you do what you gotta do and hell to them. The only thing ignoring the problem will achieve is tears when the inevitable occurs.

      I know how you feel witch, my Nana had to go into a home two years ago now because she'd forgotten how to feed herself, and was prone to wandering the streets. It's hard to let go, but once you find a good place and get the ball rolling everyone will be better off. Most care facilities specializing in alzheimers and dementia have special cottages onsite for spouses to live, while still remaining mostly autonomous. So that should be an option. And as for the kids? Screw em. Seriously,...

  5. Winter, enough is enough...Stop torturing us with the snow and the sub-zero weather--haven't we had enough? I am about ready to jump ship--leave Canada and move to Australia!

      I second that! It topped at 43 yesterday, and I'm only a few KM's away from the ocean. I'd hate to get the temperatures the interior is dealing with.

      Ah, is the silly season getting to you? Or is it the idiot your working for? Either can be remedied easily enough with booze and a sturdy cudgel if your so inclined.

      Have you tried using a fake predator? They sell them at gardening shops as "bird and possum dissuading statues". They're basically just plastic owls, falcons and kestrels that have been painted realistically with large reflective eyes. We put them in our roof to keep starlings or bats from roosting there.

  12. I can't believe I've been working on off on this chapter since may! And I started this story two years ago! Why can I never get anything done at a reasonable pace? Seriously, I write a lump of 7000 words in a sitting, but in five months I can't write a thing that actually moves the story forward. I have got to make a schedule or something or I'll never get anything done.

      Worth a go! It would definitely be more productive than just doing nothing, even if the scenes end up daisy chained together.

  15. Got my flu jab today for the upcoming winter. And for those who still think the flu jab can give you the flu, I'm declining the temptation to call you an idiot. I hope you appreciate my restraint. :D

      Raymy, if you didn't want his opinion you shouldn't have commented. If you see something contrary to your beliefs just turn away, inciting arguing on internet forums accomplishes nothing and you've opened yourself up to ridicule and attack. And yes, you are coming across as aggressive in your comment, adding a message in parenthesis does not change that. Further more, at no point did Melrick call you an idiot, he simply reiterated his beliefs. If you must share your opinion on...

      Must say that Russel Crowe delivered an incredibly weak Javert. Try substituting some Phillip Quast, and the film would be one hundred percent better, which is a lot considering how good the film already is. Here, check him out

  19. News headline of the day (and it's LEGIT!) Japanese man, 22, cooks his own genitals and serves them up to paying guests at a dinner party

  20. funky pigment-less skin + antibiotics = epic sunblock failure, debriding and silvadene cream. Wishing I had something stronger than Motrin in the house. Laid up for a bit folks. Hands took a lot of damage. Two fingered typing. :(

      Ouch! May I sugest drawing a bath that is two parts hot, one part cold and three parts baby oil and staying there until your skin regenerates, always helps when I get sunburn but I don't know if it will help if it's quite that bad. I hope you feel better soon.

      Have you considered dusting off a copy of Civilization? There are plentiful pillaging opportunities there.
