34 vs 27. The friend who got married is my age. As far as the "our" place thing, yes, I lived there 8 years before she moved in about two years ago. A few times I got in trouble when I referred to it as my place, but I've gotten better at saying "our". One thing I did to make her feel like it's...

When we met she was actually in the process of applying for clinical psychology placements across the country, none of which were in Edmonton. She was waitressing at a couple places and volunteering at the University with one of her psych professors on a research program to polish her resume. So...

She works 4 days a week at a rehabilitation hospital. The hospital does a wide range of things, but she specifically is working as a psychometrist on an autism research study. She does assessments of kids with autism, organizes research, and so on. Not blindly, no. But if a good friend fell on...

Trust me, I really don't. If we broke up tomorrow I'd tell her to not worry about paying me back a cent and probably even offer to help her out. Not that she'd accept it.

I was just providing the amounts for context, is all. I have a head for numbers, so it's not like I have to really think hard to remember what I paid for her car or how much her CC was to pay off. Plus I use Quicken to track all of my personal finances, so that kind of reinforces shit when I'm...

If she was married, where'd the husband's money go when he died?

She was doing a bit of therapy for anxiety last year, but just talking and some sort of treatment where they blasted her with bright lights or some shit. Never any drugs. I don't think she's legitimately depressed or really has any other mental health issue.

Also, no, she hasn't cheated. Let's just head that one off at the pass. She doesn't have that in her make-up, her school is correspondence and entirely women, and her job is at a psychology and rehabilitation center that is 98% women. She also is never not home other than for work. It's just not...

We all knew this was coming, sooner or later. Massive wall of text, ho! Not sure if this post should go here or in the GWBYHT. This one's easier to locate. But it would appear that things with the special lady friend are rapidly coming to an end. I think anyways. She's been very noticeably...

Heh, just went to Best Buy's website to see what there is for 80"+ TV's, out of curiosity. As I've mentioned, I'll likely not be replacing my current projector whenever it happens to crap out. Nice to see that there's TV's approaching 100", as my current screen size is 106". Not so nice to see...

I have half a dozen dehydrated camping meals, a few cans of soup, and a bag of rice. I'm good.

Last couple years? He's been a predatory hitter since 2006 or earlier. He destroyed a couple guys during the Oilers Cup run, although again, that shit was kosher back then. I can't remember offhand who the other guy was, or what team they played for. But Torres took out at least a couple...

Yeah I just use a trimmer without a guard once a week, but even that feels like too much work.

The worst part is, I hate VW's and Audi's! And idiots are making me defend them!

Figured as much. Didn't sound like you'd had much more than 15-20 drinks over a pretty extended period. I'd be genuinely curious to know what I get up to sometimes, but I don't think those hand held cheapo ones are particularly accurate once you start getting truly blitzed.

I wish that I could just grow a 2-3 day stubble, and it would just stay that way. That would be swell.

It's fun and for the price you can't really go wrong. But I'd agree that if you don't get a boner designing interchanges and subway lines, it gets boring fairly quickly. I made it to about 30-40 hours and I was just kind of done with it. Definitely the best traditional city builder since SimCity 4.

I posted like 10 times today! I'm making progress, assholes.

Speaking of cocaine:NHL acknowledges more players using cocaine - Article - TSN I like the chart about drug effects: "Marijuana is generally associated with a reduced desire to use violence." THE HORROR.

People are stupid. A friend posted on Facebook that they were considering a few different vehicles, one of them being a Touareg. Numerous people posted comments along the lines of "OH MY GOD NO DON'T BUY A VW THEY ARE GOING OUT OF BUSINESS". I post something along the lines of "well actually...

The Displayport and USB3.0 cables that come with it are stupid short. They can't be any more than 3-4'. Depending on your setup and if you have any others around, you might have to get longer ones. That was kind of a pain in the ass, especially when the one I ordered from Amazon turned out to be...

Pine beetle infested 2x4's for $20 each?

I've personally made it a policy to not puke on myself. Instead, I much prefer to puke on things that other people cherish. Maybe their favorite piece of art work. Or their pets. Perhaps even one of their body parts, preferably clothed in expensive garments. ER though? Nah. Nah. Only time...

Sociopathy.

My understanding is that depending on the employment legislation and established court precedents, you don't have to keep someone on as an employer but you might have to pay them to go away in lieu of notice. Employment standards in Alberta/Canada mandate bare minimums, but for long tenured...

So Bettman sent a nice welcome back card to Torres:Raffi Torres suspended 41 games Video - NHL VideoCenter "Dear Raffi, please retire, you coked up fuck head." At this point you'd think the NHLPA would want him gone too. He's going to kill someone, sooner or later. Much love for 2006...

It's awesome. Replaced a 7-ish year old Dell Ultrasharp. Picture quality I wouldn't say is much different, but the G-sync is awesome.

Bought a Qnap-439 Pro something like 7-8 years ago, and it's still going strong. I don't use the majority of it's features, but I don't regret it one bit. It generally consumes 20-40 watts, depending on what it's doing, how many drives are spun up etc.

In my experience, few water services have a pressure regulator. It's a maintenance head ache and a potential source of liability for the utility. Code here states that water pressure is to be between 30-80 psi. Most services fall in the middle of that range. The exception would be really...

I would never, ever consider buying a used rental car. Regardless of the mileage. Those cars get driven like shit by a million different drivers. At least with a private sale of a car with only one or two previous owners you can kind of assess them and make an educated guess as to whether or not...

And it was completely deserved.

Jehovahs.

Resign yourself to the fact that if you're doing a private sale, nothing the seller tells you can be trusted, and they're probably lying about everything. And if you're buying from a dealer, accept that you're probably paying too much. And that they're also lying.

I don't mean he's always flying around on the ice, going full blast. I mean when he takes two quick steps, he blows by pretty much anyone. Then he just seems to coast faster than anyone else on the ice can move while taking strides. It's honestly kind of eerie to watch. A couple weeks ago a few...

If he traded it in before the scandal broke and got decent value for it, I fail to see how he'd be eligible for any damages. It's likely that the cheat got him *better* fuel economy than he otherwise would have. As far as the "environmental impact" goes, that's what the EPA fines are for. Anyone...

You can both bask together in the glory of the McJesus soon enough, gentlemen. Seriously though, the kid looks good. Really good. As an 18 year old he already looks to be the best forward on the ice through pre-season, although obviously that's been against sub-par opposition. It is...

Really? I find mine works perfectly (not an Edge, but that shouldn't matter). Occasionally I might not place my thumb on it properly, but it works probably 95% of the time on the first try. I've been quite impressed with it. Only issue I've run in to with it is if your hands are really moist...

Hard to tell if it's the ESL, or just full retard.

So she's a bad nurse?

McJesus.
