What is the proper greeting to someone who is standing in their front yard while 4 cop cars are pulled up in their driveway/in front of the house?
Simply wanted to take my kids to Target to pick out a couple back to school things earlier...open the garage, walk out...cop car in neighbors driveway, 3 more in the street, one of the blocking our driveway. The have 3 kids - boys about 19 and 17, daughter about 14. Don't see any of them, or the mom, front door is closed, and dad is pacing in the yard. I get my kids in the car, the cop car does move for us. As I'm getting in, the dad is walking heading towards my house, and looks up at me, "How's it goin'?" was my instinct. He didn't answer.

The US version of the inbetweeners looks epically shit. When none of the moments in the trailer are funny you know you are going to be in trouble. It's like they lifted the characters verbatim from the BBC version but forgot all of the humor

We have a parking honor box at work similar to the one linked below and I've often seen people not paying. How do these bad boys work? Can the parking lot owner tell who pays and who doesn't?

I kind of wonder what it would be like if my parent's generation had Facebook, and if they would complain about work on FB as much as this generation does. It feels like the hip thing to do for some people.
The Garth Brooks song "Unanswered Prayers" also seems appropriate considering who one of the complainers is.

The hip thing to do on Facebook is to bitch about some monotonous thing and hope everyone likes it, or post baby pics or post about how great your husband is, basically 3 angles no one else cares about

So Progress Energy is running commercials around here about energy savings, including the gem "if you set your thermostat no lower than 78 degrees, you can enjoy your air conditioning and still save money." I don't count my thermostat being at 78 as "enjoying my air conditioning".

This is spoken like someone who is young. I post a ton of baby pics on facebook. Reason being is my closest family is 3000 miles away and they like to see regular pics of my son. This is as good a way as any. I think a lot of people are similar to me. They are friends with their parents/siblings/ etc...and those people enjoy seeing pics of their grandchildren, nieces, etc... I know as an uncle I love seeing pics of my niece and nephews, and likewise, I know my SIL and BIL who live in London love seeing pics of my son since they see him maybe once a year. |

What do you set your thermostat to? When we lived in Delaware we set it to 74 and it felt good. Moved to Florida and we leave it on 78 - and I don't notice a difference. The only thing I can think is that our air conditioner down here (newly purchased) also actively regulates our humidity and keeps it at 45%. I'm also one of those guys that can't stand heat, so it surprised me I was this tolerant of a higher temp on my AC.

I'm a 72 man, although I do fiddle with it a bit at any particular house to make sure it's comfortable. In Florida it's probably running all the time, and the moving air helps it feel coolor, plus you adjust to warmer temps in general.

Pretty much this. I'm at the age where my friends are starting to have grandchildren, I'm consistently pleased (occasionally amused) to see them, since pics on FB are pretty much the only way that's likely to happen. Same goes for my friends with children - from toddlers to teens. Those kids are a big part of their lives (or at least should be) and if they're friend enough to be on my FB in the first place then I'm interested in what's happening with them.

We set ours at 77 with fans running. Occasionally we'll drop it to 76. And I love being cold, but I can't afford it and the girls would get too cold anyway. If I set mine at 72 I'd probably be paying $500+ a month in electric.

That's funny. Being from ND I still prefer the cold to the hot. It's cheap to cool my house compared to heating it, so I have a tendency to keep it cooler in the summer or else I can't function, and keep it on the chillier side in the winder. A heating bill could easily be twice what my cooling bill is in a cold month.

I get the whole baby thing to some degree. Some people are obnoxious, nobody from here though. I also give 30+ year old's with babies free reign to post whatever though. Obnoxious 20 somethings who shit out 4+ welfare babies should probably keep their beautiful mistakes to themselves.
And I think we've totally overestimated the whole thing worth how many 5 year olds we can take in a fight. FOFC has some hoss babies growing. |

Stop sending me e-mail invites/confirmations to "schedule" our meeting that we just scheduled in the previous e-mail. I know what time we are meeting-since we just discussed it in the e-mail; is it too hard for you to remember? Stop wasting my time and spamming me with more e-mails. My rant for the day. |

Installing an update to my phone for the FB app, I learned that the plural for emoticon is apparently emoji. Alrighty then.

I use them to schedule the meeting in the first place. Find a time (in Outlook) the meeting room and all the attendees are available, send the invite out with information on the meeting, and deal with the folks who can't be bothered to keep their calendar up-to-date to finalize scheduling.

Natalie Portman is like, one of the top 5 most beautiful girls I've seen in person.
Alas, I didn't get a chance to meet her, nor boobhonk her like one of our other FOFC regs did.

Sometimes people (and entities) have to be careful what they wish for. For example: "You are hearby summoned and commanded to lay all business aside & personally appear in the Athens-Clarke County Courthouse on Sept 24, 2012 to serve as a trial juror for the Superior Court"
I suppose that's a generally okay idea if you're a prosecutor, if you're a criminal defense attorney I have to think I'm among your worst nightmares. My luck? I'll end up on some utter b.s. civil case where I'll be wishing a pox upon both parties.
