The "What's on your mind?" thread

[Scarface32]

A website I have never been to before, I wanted to make an account to comment on an article, and my email address was banned. Not understanding why, I took a look at their "about" section and found out they are part of a network of sites, one of the sites on the list I was banned from 2 years ago. So apparently all of the sites share the same login credentials.

I think that’s stupid, because on different sites you may want a different name or avatar. I sure as heck don’t go by "Scarface32" on any site other than this one, for example. Having networked sites is a dumb idea for many reasons.

YEP. One more day of heat and then it’ll be down in the 50s and I can’t wait. The last week has been super uncomfortable at night.

I lived without air conditioning for close to 20 years. Northeast Summers can be really brutal and fans are no help. When I got a portable A/C I couldn't even use it because it blew the breakers. Old building with bad wiring. Got a window unit 2 years ago when I moved and have been living on cloud 9 since. Yeah, living without A/C is not living.

My official start date

When the professor for your brutal class this term at NMSU gives you a score of 98/91 on an exam that had no extra credit and you know you didn't get a 91/91 either.



Just finishing up ASM2, going to finish making the rounds on my online classes and then start the process to begin my mid-term paper for PHIL 101.

So, we're selling the house after only three years. It's a huge house, over 3200 sq. ft. Without mom's extra income since she passed and with so few of us living here, we just can't justify keeping it.

There's just me, the husband and the son. The son is 19 and will be getting his own place in the not too distant future. The husband is on the road as a truck driver. That leaves just me here at home alone most of the time.

We paid most of the bills and food here even when both my mother and grandmother were alive, but their incomes made it much easier. Since husband sold his truck and went back to work as a company driver there isn't as much income as there used to be.

We're using a realtor we trust. She explained to me that just in the last few years the housing market has changed drastically for the better in our case as sellers. We stand to make a decent amount of money which will help get us in another home more suitable to our size and with much lower payments that even in retirement we can easily afford.

The husband has had injuries over the years and I think he'll be coming off the road in the next five to ten years due to that. Plus, I want him home more. I'm tired of the truck driver's wife lifestyle after 20 years of it. We're past due.

My vacation is coming to a close this evening. My brother and I have been in Los Angeles for a few days visiting Universal Studios and various sights around the city. We went to the Hollywood Museum, took photos of some stars on the Walk of Fame, and went to a few local media stores.

Today we went to the Hollywood Forever Cemetery and paid our respects to some awesome celebrities, including Anton Yelchin, Chris Cornell, and Judy Garland. I also went to Janet Gaynor’s grave; she’s my silent film era crush. Both hers and her second husband’s headstones (they’re buried side-by-side) were covered with dirt and debris the from the nearby bushes, so my brother and I spent a few mintues cleaning up with a rag and pulling some weeds out of the way. It felt peaceful being there at her grave. It’s a beautiful cemetery; very quiet (you can’t hear the city noise unless you’re on the edge of the property).

Great trip, though. I hadn’t been to Universal Studios in 23yrs! We had a blast. The trip was on a budget, but we made it work. Tomorrow we head home back to the San Joaquin Valley. I can’t wait come back and visit again.

Hmm, I don't think we've ever talked before. I have a terrible memory. I know that we didn't but I have with someone else. I used to live in Modesto. Out in San Jose now.

Thanks, it's always a pleasure meeting me and you're welcome for the opportunity to do so

hehe nice to meet you too. I am not too familiar with Turlock or even Ceres as I never usually made it down that way. Do you ever come back to the Bay Area to visit? Have you been up to Sonora or up the hill further to Pinecrest or Strawberry? We have places like Big Basin here but Strawberry and Pinecrest are in the real mountains!

I don’t go to the Bay Area much anymore. My hometown has changed so much, it doesn’t even look the same anymore. And the traffic always blows. Last time I was there was back in January of this year for my Grandfather’s memorial service. My dad still commutes to Santa Clara for work, but I stay away from the Bay.

I’ve been to Sonora a few times. I wanna go in the winter cause, well, I love snow. I have family out in La Grange, so I try to get out that way every so often.

This constant kick back on my DMV release form. I lied down for about an hour this evening and had, yet another request for me to resubmit the form to the background company. The problem doesn’t lie with me, but the rep for my employer. Instead of forwarding my PDF to the person who needs to sign the employer section of the release form or not sending in a PDF of the original to the background company.

Because my art background knows what a copy of a copy of a copy is Had the wife fill it out this time and I signed it with the original sign date to show someone how long this shit has drug out. I should have had all of the forms on Friday and the shit locked down on Monday, Tuesday at the latest. I feel like I’m being tested given my background in this field and should see if there is a district manager position at this point
