I miss my 3310. A friend was showing me the price of old phones on eBay the other day and I was shocked. Some are now collectors items and sell for £100+.

Today, I attempted to make chicken soup.
The result though, was chicken flavored mashed potatoes.
I was going to post this in the food thread, but decided it was too random.

I recently posted about a very similar experience, but can't seem to find it. It may be on FB.
dressed like a ninja
on a dark rainy night
dawdling across a poorly lit street
texting
splat

The only reason I didn't run the ninja over was because I saw the glow of their stupidphone.
ps. It was not a school kid. hmmmm... I've heard of suicide by cop, and think this may be a new alternative method.

I just LOVE software upgrades. Got a new PC, downloaded the latest version of my favorite text editor, trashed about 150 files before noticing there was a problem (one of its good features is you can do search and replace on lots of files simultaneously).
It turned out they have "enhanced" the syntax of regular expressions. You don't get any new functionality, but to comply with the Outer Mongolian Yak Herders' latest standards for yurt design (or something similar), the meanings of ( ) and \( \) have been swapped over.
So now I have to go back through my entire collection of customized editing macros and change them - the new version was smart enough to import them from the previous version, but not smart enough to change them so they still work.

I find it almost impossible to befriend Any-one.

Back in school, yes, because I thought I was smart then. Now I know I'm stupid, so my "standards" are lowered :D
When I next see such an opportunity, I don't care..someone needs to learn some time
I mean it's obvious that they don't care, why should I then? And if I hit someone, I'll make sure I did a good job of it and reverse back over just in case.

I picked up my deceased dog Chacha's ashes today. Beautifully done in a dark mahogany box with a bronze clasp, the ashes are held in a silk organza bag tied with satin ribbons, they included a memorial cast paw print and a lovely certificate with her information. The vet sent me a beautiful card and everyone there wrote a small note about their memories of her, (since she was so ill, she was there a lot) they went above and beyond taking care of her special needs and never charged extra for the double personnel and time they needed to take with her so as not to stress her heart. Good people, very good people. All I had to do when I called was say, "this is Chacha's mom" and they'd say "hi Evo, how is her cough?"
She's next to the Fruit Bat now.
I want to thank all of the wonderful members that have given their condolences, it's meant a lot.
