I've been having that issue myself recently, even with working 14+hr nights, I get back to my hotel tired but can't fall asleep. I've been facetiming the Wife quite a bit and we both think its related to stress. Since I came out here for work our property was hit by rioters (excuse me I mean 'protestors') AND Tropical Storm Isaias so dealing with insurance claims and worrying about how I'm going to clean up the mess while being over 3000 miles away. Although the insurance will cover it I'm trying to avoid hiring a 3rd party right now with everything going on in the world right now

if they be rioting and looting they aint protesting sh*t

you are stressed. It's like this will never end but hopefully it will. no one needs this. not anybody not even the rioters. Hopefully it will all work out. Scarlet said tomorrow's another day or something like that. try to stay calm. its hard for me but I'm better than I was but I'm also taking meds but still.

Probably not the best character to quote in this context, unless you were being ironic.

CNN - Tourist snaps the toes off 19th-century statue while posing for photo

I know I should be sad or horrified about the above mishap, but I can't help but laugh a little too. They have it captured on video how he's posing and leaning on the statue before it snaps off.

I've taken an art history class, but my understanding of art is probably about equal to the two families in Parasite.

I was mainly just thinking of the quote and what it meant more than where it came from. I was trying to think of another one but that came to me and I couldn't think of anything else.

My next car payment was due on the 12th, due to the refinancing I began today I imagine I won't have to make a payment until next month. Good thing too, due to recent lost work hours my next payment would've been late anyway. Almost time to head to work!

I really like the color rose gold. I don’t consider it to be a feminine color, at all.

I have 2 Seagate external hard drives that are rose gold. If I buy another cell phone, I would strongly consider the color rose gold. Beautiful color.

I think my iPod is the rose gold color. I can't remember because I have a black case on it It's sealed up tighter than a SWAT member in full tactical gear

Why are Rubik's cubes sold fully solved already? So I have to mix it up myself? If I mix it up myself, all I have to do is look at it while I'm mixing it up and then just reverse that.

[Gold Ranger]

I'll buy one, mix it up, and sell it to you.

EDIT: Oh, there. god, that was annoying.

I just paid off one of my credit cards in one fell swoop. My limit was low-ish ($1,100) but it was maxed out so paying it off in one shot felt good. I'd been contemplating doing this for a while but since this is a good chunk of change I didn't want my balance getting too low. What I didn't realize until now was I still have access to that money. When I pay my rent, my landlord takes the money and I never see it again but with a credit card, I'm essentially giving myself a loan with my own money

Uh, or the bank is loaning you their money.

No, the Banks do NOT let you use their money. They set an amount you owe them. They never lose money. You only lose money.

I saw something that went into great detail about this the other night, I'll have to find it.

I paid back their money with my money so it's OUR money

Tried that, didn't work. Can't remember how I did get it to work now.

But how can you owe them your own money?
