And you've never seen a well-defined rain line like that? We used to see that every afternoon, and you could watch the rain walk up the street to your house (or even better, watch the isolated showers walk right on past and miss you).

A sad piece of news in today's paper about the inner city schools..
Quote in today's Buffalo News about the City Of Buffalo Schools: "There are 126 students in eighth grade who are either 16 or will be 16 before the school year ends."

I might have lost my debt card. I know when I last used it and everything. I went back and retraced my steps and still nothing. It has my picture on and I checked my online account but still annoying.

What I want to know is, how come I can walk into my credit union and they can issue me a new card right then and there, but, if I do it online, it takes 7-10 business days. It's the freaking 21st century and still takes just as long to get a new card as it did in 1989!!! Oh, I'd call your bank or go in and have them cancel the card and get a new one. A hassle for sure, but, not as big of a hassle if someone somehow is able to use it. Or check under your seat in the car or between the seat and the center console. Mine likes to hide there now and then.

Assuming they're not special needs kids or something, I'm impressed the schools there apparently require something before sending you on a grade. It's like low graduation rates for athletes - people talks about how bad they are, but it's worse when you have graduates who can't read than it is when academic standards are actually enforced. |

Some are and some aren't from what the article stated. It was about letting the kids drop out (with parental approval) and get their GED program and move on. It's an effort to lower the "drop" out rate at the high school level. Most of the 16 yr olds who are still in middle school are there because they refuse to show up or just flat out fail.

Thank god my car is still under warranty. My Fusion continues to move from Quite Impressed to Twitchy to Problematic.
Sat at a light a few months ago, engine light pops on, engine sputters for a few seconds, and just dies. Took it in, they found nothing wrong. I chalk it up to a bad tank of gas. Did it again about a month ago. Restarted engine, all is well. Really, I should have taken it in, but I was lazy, and it had been fine. Last couple of weeks, engine light has been intermittently going on and off, with no side effects. Planning on taking it in. Again, wee bit lazy here. Yesterday, driving along, engine light, sputter sputter die. Not good. Dropping it off tomorrow morning with clear instructions of "there is very very clearly something not right here. Find it. Fix it." Last edited by Coffee Warlord : 06-18-2012 at 03:47 PM. |

Today's lesson in my African-American Studies class was about how ethnic whites (like the Irish) at the turn of the 20th century used racism as a way to assimilate into white culture. I just so happened to be wearing my "Irish" t-shirt today.

While changing a tire at the 7-11 tonight, a bum walks by and says, "It sucks to be you."
Has anybody ever had a bum tell you, "It sucks to be you?" before?? |

Anyone find it weird with Cocoa/Fruity Pebbles ads that Fred says "Pebbles will really rock your mouth"?

My garage door needed some series repairs today. Since my wife works closer to home, she was there while the repairs were taking place.
The garage door repair man told her she looks like Erin Andrews. I'm married to Erin Andrews. Suck it, bitches.

It was hard to read the whole article because of the tears in my eyes from laughing so hard. Let's just say, I'm not holding my breath on this one:

It would be nice to see gasoline fall. It's essentially 1.40 over crude cost, whereas it normally would be 70-80 cents over. Someone is making huge profits right now.

Oh they are making money hand over fist. What I really want to know is, how is a company like, say, Exxon for example, claiming that crude costs them more, when it's their rigs that gets the oil out of the ground to begin with? It's their oil that gets shipped to their refinery, transported on their trucks to their gas stations.

I go back and forth over whether or not I find Rachel Nichols attractive.

so a while ago i was at the farmers market and saw a midget (dwarf?) and thought, 'huh, that's a handsome little person. i wonder if he's in the pictures.' well, i finally got turned on to game of thrones and sure enough the little guy from the farmers market was peter dinklage. i guess he lives around here which is both strange and awesome.

When in doubt...Dwidget. Was he wearing a sombrero? Never watched game of thrones though I've a few pictures, but, the only little guy I can think of is the one from Elf, kind of looks like the guy in that show. Where is here? I'm being nosey today.

Dang. That would have been awesome if he was wearing one. Ahhh ok, same guy from Elf, then I do know who you are talking about. If I remember correctly, is Rochester somewhat near Oswego? Not sure why I'm thinking they are close to each other though. That's cool. Sounds like it was a win/win for you...you didn't have to pay for them AND you like it.

not really. close to syracuse. bout 3 hrs away from rochester. here to rochester is like san diego to la. nyc is like san diego to san francisco.
my fear is now i'll see him and fanboy out and he'll turn out to be a dick. yeah, i never would have checked it out if my buddy hadn't given me season 1. i had all the preconceived notions about fantasy. "what is it like dragons and shit?' and it is. but it's also a really good drama. like the soprano's in middle earth. |

Oh ok. Maybe it was Syracuse. My cousins roommate is from Syracuse, maybe somehow I mixed the two places up.
Just don't go up to him and say, "Remember that time in episode 6...". Haha! That's cool. I've had zero interest in it because I just have no faith in my friends tastes of tv shows. Most of them like american idol...so, I'm never too confident in their recommendations.

I got home from work today, went upstairs to change my clothes, and promptly took an hour and a half nap. I knew I was tired, but that was a bit crazy. Actually woke up when Poli texted me the good news.
