After The Machine (or the handle purporting to represent The Machine) claimed on Twitter earlier in the week to be behind the crash of the Crimson White website earlier in the week, I figured they'd claim this too.

Why on earth can't my family just be normal??? After a string of deaths every other year for almost a decade, we finally started to even out...and then things happen. My uncle was just charged with murder in a the 1972 cold case death of an infant...apparently he was charged back then but the case was dismissed and nobody in the family ever knew. I'm in total shock right now

It was the opposite situation with frosting when my mom was pregnant with me. On more than one occasion she would make her (delicious) home made frosting and just eat it lol

Good theory, but the Sad Bama thread only just now surpassed Clemsongirl's recruitment story thread for number of views!

I planned to have GC running on the new server over a month ago but it didn't turn out that way. Everything is set at the new datacenter, I just need to ship the server. But after tonight's outage I'm considering to double the amount of RAM in the server, which will add a bit more time before it's online (time for delivery then time for burn-in stress testing of the RAM).

Anyhow, should be by the end of this month. I think the current server should be able to hang in there until then.
So it wasn't my computer after all - I kept trying to get back on ... Thanks for your efforts, John!

I just love those "lazy Sundays" when my husband and I only have to go to one church service at 6pm. This lasts until 11pm because we usually go to McDonald's with our friends afterwards. A usual Sunday can be 2 or 3 services for us depending on what each of our 2 churches is doing. Then there are always all the weekday services/events, too.

I am so tired of job hunting. It is taking all my energy.

Everyone is telling me to be patient and not worry about things that I can't control, but I hate not having money to pay my bills or hell buy things.

I hate having to mooch off my parents and borrow money from my brother.

It doesn't help that I know that my former principal is giving me a bad review when potential employers call him because I haven't even been picked up as a substitute! I'm a frickin' certified teacher and I can't even get a job subbing! WTF. The problem is I can't prove a damn thing and I highly doubt when I call to find out the status of my application they will be honest. It is so incredibly frustrating.

I tried to sign on last night but couldn't. It's good to know that it wasn't my computer or my internet service. That's what I thought it was at first.

I thought the same thing since my campus does have less than stellar internet service but yay, it's back!

Also, I guess the user Crash Test Barack is a troll so I'll just disregard that person...

Crash Test Barack is an old troll that comes back evry so often to spew his racist nonsense. You learn to ignore him.

Do you have a friend from your ed program who is now an administrator? If so, have them call pretending to get a reference for you and see what they are told. I had a co-worker do this when he left his last job. He found out that his previous school was giving him a less than proper reference and took action.

I almost said "Hi" to him but refrained. How's law school going?

Vito, hang in there.

As for perps, how long before the latest NPC wannabe fades away?

BTW, I appreciate you asking the question that I'm sure many have been wondering. I don't think the perp status is limited to NPC, though.

Watching the Miss America pageant preview is a great way to feel like you haven't accomplished anything in your life:/ It is great procrastination on homework, though.
