    But, I do know everything! Just ask me! :D As for the bookcase: Just build one with stuff in the garage; that's what I do. Just go in the garage slide out a sheet of 3/4" AA plywood or, something like that, get out the table saw, joiner, and sander and go to work. Finish the front off with a little thermosetting veneer tape ironed on with the wife's iron (she loves that ..... really... she does) and add some fininsh and varnish from whatever's on the paint rack. Vola! Book case! Solid wood and better than store bought.

    What was so tragic about a busload of lawyers going off a cliff? There was an empty seat. Oh...I've got a million of them. What do you call 500 lawyers in chains at the bottom of the ocean? A good start.

    First, we kill all the lawyers-William Shakespeare LOL

    That dildo Jeremy Clarkson strikes again, describing Gordon Brown as a "one-eyed Scottish git"; my son lost an eye at the age of three, so the description must fit him too.
    Why do Clarkson and Ross keep their jobs after crap like this, yet it turns out Carole Thatcher actually apologised for saying a tennis player reminded her of a golliwog, yet was still sacked by the Bolshevik Bullshit Corporation?
    What's even sadder is the fact that most of the DM comments supporting Clarkson come from onanists in the Home Counties.

    Ok I got a new one.

    Don't you hate it when you go to fix something and you end up either making it worse or screwing something else up?

    I was playing around with my car trying to get the lighter out since it broke the other day. The plan was to get it out, take it to the wreckers and get another one a quarter the price of a new one. Well that proved harder then it seemed, a simple job of taking out the lighter ending in the entire front dash of the car coming off including the center console and the air conditioner tubes running to the back seats.

    One hour and four missing screws later I finally got it out to my pleasure. However as soon as I turned on the car to go get the replacement, I realised that in the process of removing the console I somehow damaged the air tubes running into the back of the air con dials, $150 later they told me my air conditioner compressor is kaput (not related to my doing) over $1000 to fix it all. AHHHHH.

    On a happier note, at least the lighter works. lol





    Just a quick edit, I was going through this thread from the beginning and I couldn't stop laughing. Great.

    It has been a while since my last rant and rave, but now I have another one.

    Facebook

    What a complete waste of my time, effort and energy.

    something I posted on there today.
    As I have said in the above, I am there to connect to people I can otherwise not connect to, whether it be because they are from my past and are no longer in the area, or because they are family and friends from around the world. I am not there to make people feel good or bad for that matter. I am not there to get involved in "this person said that and that person said this".

    Facebook is the start of so many arguments and fights, why? Because somebody posts something, and someone else thinks they were directing it at them, or because of the lack of emicons/emotions no body takes it the way it is supposed to be and therefore automatically assumes the worst.

    Well I think enough is enough, quide lines need to be set, if you don't have something useful to say or contribute, there is the door.

    Ok I am done now, that has annoyed me for sometime now and now all my peeps on facebook now about it. See I have no problem with the idea behind Facebook, overall it is pretty good, but it is being abused.

    The funnier part still is she probably hates the fact that you are on her facebook 'monitoring' her.:D

    Just imagine what she would post if you weren't one there.:D

    facebook is likened to pandoras box in reverse? when opened up! it let in a lot of evil...I take it facebook has tightened up it's workings? and filters more crap out, than it allows in? or is that wishful thinking..

    Remember when the youth was listening to Elvis? Parents thought he was the devil incarnated those days. Same thing with AC/DC in the 80s. One day what seems shocking today will be considered normal in the future, see the cameras in London , Orwell would never have dreamt of such a scenario in 2010.
