I'd rather be upgraded so I don't care, I just thought the rule was funny.
Yeah, it rewards the sandbaggers.

god damn. How did I get roped into that? I know better, and try to avoid falling for the "but someone is wrong on the internet" trap.

If any of you see me trying to give advice again, please ***** slap me.

But we (or at least I) value your advice. I mean, when i start incorporating 2x20's, i'll be following what you wrote. Ditto with the GC TRIMP stuff. It just looks like we are getting "leakage" again. Maybe it's time to start a new thread about it

Sounds like a tasty variation, though I'll have to substitute something for the eggs if I get around to trying it.

I'm waiting on my race license to arrive. I can't wait to start getting shelled (badly) again.

The internet scares me sometimes. I'm on CNN reading news, and it has one of my facebook friends and their comment on a story listed on the right side of the page. I'm not logged into facebook (or even have it open) and I'm not logged into CNN (or even have an account there).

Creepy.

You don't need to be logged in for facebook to track you and share your data with other sites you visit.

It's one reason why I'm not on facebook.

Yeah. Time is going fast. A couple more blinks and my baby will be right there (assuming she still wants to play basketball at that point).

I want to watch this BCS championship, but my word it starts late. It's 9:30 and it's barely into the 2nd quarter. I was up at 5:30, I'm tired by 9:30.

Yeah, it's someone I had added, I'm not surprised facebook knows the person. I'm just a little surprised that CNN knows, despite me not using any apps on facebook, or having a CNN account. I guess I'll log into facebook and go see if I can find whatever privacy setting I need to change.

edit: found it. Had to disable all platforms. CNN wasn't even listed in the platforms that I had, and I'm not really sure where the ones that I did have came from, but I disabled them all. Considering I never use facebook, this isn't a problem for me.

Oh man, is this your lucky day! I literally can't believe how lucky you are. You see, I happen to be selling EXACTLY the kind of tinfoil hat that you need - which just happens to be the rarest kind!
And as fate would have it, I'm selling them at a discount!

Act now, don't wait on this exciting offer! Operators are standing by.

How many ounces of gold does it cost? I'll have it delivered in an unmarked van by a private courier service. I don't trust the big corporate shipping companies, or that fake government paper money.
