  3. yup, gotta love those id-10-t probs! my favourite was an un-named medical professional at a hospital i worked at. her 'doze box was acting flaky. after all else failed, we were trying a memory swap. when i went to pull the cover off her 'puter, i had to move a memo holder from the side of it. it appeared to be stuck, i thought it was adhesive, turned out to be a 4"x6" magnet. i told her she would be better off if she stuck it to her file cabiniet instead of her pc. problems vanished.

    Cats & Dogs

    actually i'm lucky, our cats are strictly indoor cats so we got them declawed. just the front paws though, you'd be surprised how quick they can twist those back paws into position! i find it safer just to leave the evil things alone, or throw them far enough that they can't scratch you. my dog, on the other hand, is the only living thing in the house that always meets me at the door when i come home and is always happy to see me. dogs rule!

    Selfish

    you could go with your subconsious.. i forget exactly how this works, but basically when you go to bed, think about the situation, and keep thinking about it until you fall asleep. supposedly, your brain will work on it while you sleep, and when you wake up, the first answer that pops into your head is the one you should go with. of course, this may all be new-age type bullshit too. as ricky nelson says in 'garden party', "you can't please everyone so ya got to please yourself" Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings

    Cats & Dogs

    I have cats and dogs (and ferrets and a chinchilla). sooner or later they will need medication, here's a handy guide. How to give a cat a pill: 1) Pick cat up and cradle it in the crook of your left arm as if holding a baby. Position right forefinger and thumb on either side of cat's mouth and gently apply pressure to cheeks while holding pill in right hand. As cat opens mouth pop pill into mouth. Allow cat to close mouth and swallow. 2) Retrieve pill from floor and cat from behind sofa. Cradle cat in left arm and repeat process. 3) Retrieve cat from bedroom, and throw soggy pill away. 4) Take new pill from foil wrap, cradle cat in left arm holding rear paws tightly with left hand. Force jaws open and push pill to back of mouth with right forefinger. Hold mouth shut for a count of ten. 5) Retrieve pill from goldfish bowl and cat from top of wardrobe. Call spouse from garden. 6) Kneel on floor with cat wedged firmly between knees, hold front and rear paws. Ignore low growls emitted by cat. Get spouse to hold head firmly with one hand while forcing wooden ruler into mouth. Drop pill down ruler and rub cat's throat vigorously. 7) Retrieve cat from curtain rail, get another pill from foil wrap. Make note to buy new ruler and repair curtains. Carefully sweep shattered figurines and vases from hearth and set to one side for gluing later. 8) Wrap cat in large towel and get spouse to lie on cat with head just visible from below armpit. Put pill in end of drinking straw, force mouth open with pencil and blow down drinking straw. 9) Check label to make sure pill not harmful to humans, drink 1 beer to take taste away. Apply Band-Aid to spouse's forearm and remove blood from carpet with cold water and soap. 10) Retrieve cat from neighbor's shed. Get another pill. Open another beer. Place cat in cupboard and close door onto neck to leave head showing. Force mouth open with dessert spoon. Flick pill down throat with elastic band. 11) Fetch screwdriver from garage and put cupboard door back on hinges. Drink beer. Fetch bottle of scotch. Pour shot, drink. Apply cold compress to cheek and check records for date of last tetanus shot. Apply whiskey compress to cheek to disinfect. Toss-back another shot. Throw Tee shirt away and fetch new one from bedroom. 12) Ring fire department to retrieve the f------ cat from tree across the road. Apologize to neighbor who crashed into fence while swerving to avoid cat. Take last pill from foil-wrap. 13) Tie the little bastard's front paws to rear paws with garden twine and bind tightly to leg of dining table, find heavy duty pruning gloves from shed. Push pill into mouth followed by large piece of fillet steak. Be rough about it. Hold head vertically and pour 2 pints of water down throat to washdown pill. 14) Consume remainder of Scotch. Get spouse to drive you to the emergency room, sit quietly while doctor stitches fingers and forearm and remove pill remnants from right eye. Call furniture shop on way home to order new table. 15) Arrange for SPCA to collect mutant cat from hell and ring local pet shop to see if they have any hamsters. How to Give A Dog A Pill: 1) Wrap it in bacon. Oh, I have slipped the surly bonds of earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings

  16. this question seems to come up a lot... maybe there should be a faq on the site somewhere that people could refer to... what it boils down to is contact the airlines and see if you can get written approval from someone, if you have an aad, contact the manufacturer for a picture of what it looks like under x-ray and arrive early at the airport to deal with security.

  19. well, there was the time the 16 year old decided he had had enough of life and ran out in front of the truck (22 wheeler loaded with gasoline) i was driving to do himeself in.... ...and then there was the time my wife walked out on me and our kids after 7 years of marriage... ...and then i found out she had had affairs with 4 different guys in the three years prior to leaving.. ..and then 6 months after she left she came back and tried to get custody.. but life goes on... i kept the kids, got married again to a wonderful woman. and the 16 year old kid? well, i guess he got what he wanted, and i am secure in the knowledge that i did everything i could to avoid it and didn't hurt anyone else. some days it sucks to be me, but most of the time it's great.

    Guys...

    maybe there is someone closer.... that or he has lost interest... shit happens. there's a lot not being said here too... how far away is far away? how long has this relationship been going on? were these two hypothetical people ever living close to each other? lots of variables that could affect the answer...

    Guys...

    if he's been at the project for many months, a weekend (or even a day of the weekend) off won't hurt anything. if it's a new project every weekend, he should be looking for a new job. either way, i'd say come on down!
