Seriously OT: The Real 3rd Thready...

in my old neighborhood i would be roaming in my house or would have to go outside to use the phone b/c i couldn't get a signal in my house

ugh same nonsense at my apartment. I called T-Moble and explained that my area of town has no signal. They claimed I am in a valley and they cant do anything about it.

That's BS. I live in a valley right now and get better service than at higher elevation. Actually, my current residence is located adjacent to a 100ft dyke to a lake. Yes, I live 100ft below the water and it sucks because the wind off the lake just goes right through the walls of the house and I freeze this time of year. It's sucks. However, in the summertime, it's like living in a cave and it stays relatively cool...

When I go to my folks' place, which is out in the country, I can't get a signal worth anything even with my new phone it's difficult. I guess they're close to powerlines or something...

I guess since my mobile phone is my only telephone I should consider how well service is where I move to... hmmm...

They have MSC direct adversising on this site now :grinno:
There building is right next to my office
ahhhhhhhhh I hate my job

Most service issues around mountains and in the country (even in rural neighborhoods) is the lack of a tower. I know around here the older towns and counties won't allow companies to replace old analog towers or build new ones. So everyone's service sucks. It's because they are afraid of radiation or having an eyesore to look at.

Those eyesore people piss me off. There have been efforts here on LI to build those big wind energy fans 1 mile out into the ocean along the Long Island coast. But people "rich" living near the water don't want the eye sore. They are not concerned with the benefits this technology will bring Long Island but rather what they see when they look out the window and squint there eyes cause its sooooooo far from them. Money combined with ignorance = power, its so clear.

Tmobile just sucks ass to begin with. My mothers friend, in/on the border of the city had to go outside her house to make or receive a call. Which was terrible because she didn't have a land line, she used the cell as her home phone..

I've had Cingular for 6 years, and have never had problems. In fact, I've always had better signal than others. I do not like their customer service, but there are always things you won't like about certain people. Anyways. They give a decent 38% discount on phones and 19% discount on bills for military. ;)

it looks like our house for sale will close today or tomorrow. i'm happy because it's over with. i'm bummed because my daughter took her first steps in that kitchen. i just have to remind myself i did well on the equity and i enjoy the house we bought.

Good sale at home depot take that kitchen floor with you!! :icon16:

lol

well got snow today...not much...mabey a couple inches

Im heading up to Flagstaff in a few and Im forced to take my SUV since theres heavy snow there. I havent seen snow in about a year. I think im scared.

i'm invincible in the Land Cruiser :evillol:

no thank you Brody. i'd rather be lazy and just pop in the video if her taking those first steps.

we made a little over 88,000 in equity....which was needed. the house we bought was $193,500. it's an old vintage apt house built in 1910 converted into single family living.

We've all been there but don't like to admit it. As much as we try to
convince ourselves otherwise, the WORKPOOP is inevitable. For those who
hate
pooping at work, following is the Survival Guide for taking a dump at
work

CROP DUSTING:

When farting, you walk briskly around the office so the smell is not in
your
area and everyone else gets a whiff but doesn't know where it came from.
Be
careful when you do this. Do not stop until the full fart has been
expelled.
Walk an extra 30 feet to make sure the smell has left your pants.



FLY BY:

This is the act of scouting out a bathroom before pooping. Walk in and
check
for other poopers. If there are others in the bathroom, leave and come
back
again. Be careful not to become a FREQUENT FLYER. People may become
suspicious if they catch you constantly going into the bathroom.

ESCAPEE:

This is a fart that slips out while taking a leak at the urinal or
forcing a
poop in a stall. This is usually accompanied by a sudden wave of
embarrassment. If you release an escapee, do not acknowledge it.

Pretend it did not happen. If you are standing next to the farter in the

urinal, pretend you did not hear it. No one likes an escapee. It is
uncomfortable for all involved. Making a joke or laughing makes both
parties
feel uneasy

JAILBREAK:

When forcing a poop, several farts slip out at a machine gun pace. This
is
usually a side effect of diarrhea or a hangover. If this should happen,
do
not panic. Remain in the stall until everyone has left the bathroom to
spare
everyone the awkwardness of what just occured.

COURTESY FLUSH:

The act of flushing the toilet the instant the poop hits the water. This

reduces the amount of airtime the poop has to stink up the bathroom.

This can help you avoid being caught doing the WALK OF SHAME.

WALK OF SHAME:

Walking from the stall, to the sink, to the door after you have just
stunk
the bathroom. This can be a very uncomfortable moment if someone walks
in
and busts you. As with farts, it is best to pretend that the smell does
not
exist. This very uncomfortable walk can be avoided with the use of the
COURTESY FLUSH.

OUT OF THE CLOSET POOPER:

This is a colleague who poops at work and is damn proud of it. You will
often see an Out Of The Closet Pooper enter the bathroom with a
newspaper or
magazine under his or her arm. Always look around the office for the Out
Of
The Closet Pooper before entering the bathroom.

THE POOPING FRIENDS NETWORK (P.F.N):

A group of co-workers who band together to ensure emergency pooping goes
off
without incident. This group can help you to monitor the whereabouts of
Out
Of The Closet Poopers, and identify SAFE HAVENS.

SAFE HAVENS:

A Safe Haven is a seldom-used bathroom somewhere in the building where
you
can least expect visitors. Try floors that are predominantly of the
opposite
sex. This will reduce the odds of a pooper of your sex entering the
bathroom.

TURD BURGLAR:

This is someone who does not realize that you are in the stall and tries
to
force the door open. This is one of the most shocking and vulnerable
moments
that can occur when taking a poop at work If this occurs, remain in the
stall until the Turd Burglar leaves. This way you will avoid all
uncomfortable eye contact.

CAMO-COUGH:

A phony cough that alerts all new entrants into the bathroom that you
are in
a stall is called a Camo-Cough. This can be used to cover-up a
WATERMELON,
or to alert potential Turd Burglars. The Camo-Cough is very effective
when
used in conjunction with an ASTAIRE.

ASTAIRE:

An Astaire is a subtle toe-tap that is used to alert potential Turd
Burglars
that you are occupying a stall. This will leave no doubt that the stall
is
occupied. If you hear an Astaire, leave the bathroom immediately so the
pooper can poop in peace.

WATERMELON:

A watermelon is a big poop that creates a loud splash when hitting the
toilet water. This is also an embarrassing incident. If you feel a
Watermelon coming on, create a diversion. See CAMO-COUGH.

HAVANA OMELET:

A case of diarrhea that creates a series of loud splashes in the toilet
water. Often accompanied by an Escapee. Try using a Camo-Cough with an
Astaire.

UNCLE TODD:

An Uncle Todd is a bathroom user who seems to linger around forever.

This person could spend extended lengths of time in front of the mirror
or
sitting on the pot. An Uncle Todd makes it difficult to relax while on
the
crapper, as you should always wait to poop when the bathroom is empty.
This
benefits you as well as other bathroom attendees.

Hope the Survival Guide helps, as the WORKPOOP is an inevitable part of
life!

I already know all of those techniques :lol: and I have a Safe Haven I frequent :lol2:

rotflmao

weird intake manifold...the runners seemed to be very spaced out
http://quartersportsdrag.com/Adapted_Rides/Hella_Header.jpg

Thats the exhaust manifold, and it looks turbo.

well i know that...but just looked weird...saw many designs before...but foe some reason this one just seems weird

god I miss having a car to play with

god I miss having a car to play with

you don't know...i'm thinking about just buying an engine 1st and then the car :licka:

but i gotta buy another car...some guy was trying to sell his stock, non a/c working, 176,xxx miles, faded hood CRX Si for $4000 :shakehead

but i wanted to get my wife this Mercedes 190E...nice car with a lot of new parts..he only wanted $1150...but he sold it already...so i have $1000 and need to find a car

So this is what we got yesterday...
http://img113.imageshack.us/img113/7852/snowjeepwo5.jpg

3" of snow in SC... wtf? At least I didn't have to come into work and I pretty much never left the house. Oh yeah, my rear wiper works again... weird. Still can't get the hatch open though... it's stuck shut... that is a project for warmer weather whereby somebody related to my wife that fixes Dodge/Jeep/Chrysler vehicles will be handling it...

the snow went as quick as it came...but it was a nice view from the 3rd floor in Chapel Hill

Well I'm off to get my first root canal, how unexciting :icon16:

i had one...very uneventful...but no pain or swelling...nothing at all

I just had my tooth taken out for $40 with insurance and a Rx of Lortabs (hydrocodone). If your teeth are in the back, just have them yanked... save you hundreds of dollars.

I hate Tallahassee. One minute I'm minding my own business waiting for my roommate outside TargetCopy, the next minute the frickin street is flooded to all hell and I gotta figure out how I'm gonna get my lowered, CAI havin accord out of there.

To make a long story short, I failed and stalled out around the corner. EVERY street was flooded in the area. Lucky for me the shit dried out hours later and I had to get a jump to get her home. Damn this below sea level city

Weird. I never had a problem with my CAI on my lowered CRX going through puddles and such. However, I've never driven through puddles that were deeper than my tires height (14" wheels)...

ive had this problem twice in 5 years of having the CAI. But tallahassee has so many hills that certain areas are prone to flash flooding. In the span of about 5 minutes, the water went from typical rain puddles to filling up 6 lane street with water. In the very middle of the road where I drove the water was at least 5 inches deep. THe sides of the road had to be at least a foot probably more

florida isn't a good place to have CAI at all. I suppose I should keep my car in Chicago... but there it gets ruined by the salt and snow.

I can't win

neither is Norfolk...half the city is below sea level...and where i used to stay was created by two hurricanes
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v248/blucivic1/ovew.jpg

That's like Sandy Hook in NJ or the Outer Banks in NC. The one time I got to go to the Outer Banks with the Mrs. we were cruising along the island and the road had been redirected. I thought that was pretty wild. At that point the one side was ocean and the other was the sound... kinda freaky...

i loved it in the summer but the winter wind was bone chilling...my first time seeing it snow at the beach

Well the root canal went smooth. Not as bad as I thought more of a pain in the ass then anything. My insurance covered 60% cause it was a rear molar, so I only dished out $175 today. Its been 2 hours now and i am starving gonna grab something to eat. I should have been a dentist that guy is so freakin rich.

Man, I had 2 quadrants of my mouth drilled at once, twice..my face looked completely different from one side to the other, and there was no eating after that..I tried, could feel a damn thing. I had to hold my lip tight onto a glass to keep from pouring it all over myself. But then again, I did have about 12 shots in me after that crap..they just kept going for the wussy stuff, they'd get another minute in and I'd be freaking out in pain..Finally figured it out and gave me about 4 of the good stuff.

man in the military(well this base) they load you up on shots. numb the hell outta you for HOURS.

woman at work had some work done on her teeth and it was so funny b/c it looked like half her face was sagging

^^ minority report lol

it was weird b/c like her mouth was saggin open on one side

Thats what I looked like..you could tell half my face was different from the other.

i hate trying to eat afterwards.i end up biting the shit outta my lip.

florida isn't a good place to have CAI at all. I suppose I should keep my car in Chicago... but there it gets ruined by the salt and snow.

I can't win

so this is where you've been hiding?

how come you don't drop in and say hi in OT?

Any one here watch the UFC? There's a pay-per-view tonight, and there was supposed to be a Middle weight title fight tonight, apparently it's not for the title anymore. The challenger (Travis Lutter) didn't make weight (by 1½lbs). So not only does he not get a chance at the title (and it's now a 3 round fight instead of 5), but he's getting fined 10% of his fight earnings (with 5% going to the champ [Anderson Silva]). What kind of crap is that? He had 2 hours to lose the weight and only lost ½ a lb; he was originally 2lbs over. He was on their reality show to get the title fight and then blows it. Oh well, Anderson Silva's going to whoop his ass anyways.

N.C. State

:D

#1 Virginia Tech and now #3 UNC :D :D :D :D

My parents put there house up they are going down to NC next weekend to look for property I think they are going to Monroe or Lake Norman. They are following me!!!! ahhhhh

:lol: Was gonna buy some stuff off a guy last week in Lake Norman...but that was too far for me to go...but here's a site i frequent to buy stuff and for events

www.carolinahondas.com

Good site boomarked

and www.importsnc.com

bigger than carolina hondas and the have bigger functions

lol bigger is better nice thanks

HA! guess what!

Ordered a Fit yesterday.... Taffeta white/black interior

i wanna Fit :( minus the paddles

so does this mean you'll have a rice fit?

when does it arrive?

Guess what I got today. A brand new limited edition silver slim PS2. It was the last PS2 they had at Circuit City, and they were completely sold out at Best Buy. Woo Hoo, I can finally play Socom CA and all my other games without having them freeze on me. Strange that I got it today though, because my b-day isn't until tomorrow. But I'm sure as hell not complaining.

it's gonna break :evillol:

Lake Norman is nice... pretty far from most anything... Charlotte is about an hour or so away.

I have to go to the dentist... cavity forming at the gumline... sucks... sucks worse because my dentist office really f-ed up filing my insurance last time and then tried to act like they did nothing wrong. My insurance covered 90% of it and they acted like it wouldn't. Kinda hard for me to go back to that kind of ignorance... but the doctor is really good. My wife wants me to go to her new dentist but I'd have to get all new x-rays and shit; unless I can get them transfered somehow...

KillaCRX, you have to post pics of the Fit when you get it. My wife wants a new VW Rabbit. Personally, I can't logically see buying anything that small these days... too dangerous. I would never buy the first year run of any vehicle anyway... at least not until the bugs and recalls are all taken care of in the first year or so. That's one thing my dad taught me that I actually thought was wise to remember. Unfortunately, my brother decided to buy a 4wd Jeep Compass... not my cup of tea obviously... haha

I was bored yesterday so my friend and I decided to go test driving cars. He has a Mazda 3 hatch, so we went to go check out the supercharged Speed3. Too bad we didnt realize it was sunday... We also went to Honda, and looked at the Fit, 18k?!! F that!

Speaking of Mazdas :lol:

Jeep Compass is just plain ugly...looks like it was made by Kia

my roommate is thinking about getting a compass. His family gets GREAT deals on Chrysler/Dodge cars His options right now seem to be

Jeep Compass, Dodge Magnum, Chrysler Pacifica, and another I can't think of
