Years 19-23 aren't pretty with a Cat.  Our family's orange tabby had to be put down at 23, only because he was really miserable.  Blind and losing his sense of smell and hearing.   He'd been blind for two years already and began MROWLING at high volume to let you know when he was hungry.

Since we don't have a mildly interesting photo thread, here's a map of where all the meth labs are in the US:

Wait, Mississippi only have 5 meth labs? There's got to be more than that in my metro area.

They're much better at hiding them.

Remember, your police have to be competent enough to catch them for them to show up on the map.

Ah, meth labs. The one thing I get to take pride in about my home state.

I've never seen one in real life, interestingly. Although I'm reasonably certain the house I just moved out of used to be one.

Explosion in the night?  House fire?  Meth lab.

Wife's friend is asking me to help install Revit 2013 on a Acer Aspire One.  Which was named such since it seems to aspire to be a computer.  I thought it was broken when I tried to view computer properties to determine if it was 64-bit.  Nope, just slooooooow.

Don't tell anyone you know how to spell "computer".

Holy hell.. Revit 2013 on an Acer?  Let me guess, using the integrated graphics card too? A whopping 2gb of memory?

You'd have better luck running it on an iPhone 3g.

My sympathies Morat, it never gets easy. I have no problem admitting that I cried more at the deaths of my dogs than I did for my Grandparents. I loved my Grandparents dearly, but they didn't have the same day to day impact on my life that my dogs did. Over 41 years I've had to say goodbye to five dogs, two cats, and a rat. (Sorry Mr. Goldfish, you never really counted.) What they gave me was more than worth the pain of losing them.

On a lighter note:

At work yesterday I used a Mac for the first time since 1989. I felt like one of our customers.

"Where the hell is the power button?" - one of the actually keys on the keyboard, wtf?
"How the hell do I click?" - I probably looked silly trying to double tap the touch pad. Finally realized the whole pad is a button.

Trying desperately to survive.  Same reason Office Depot and Office Max just started merger procedures.  When everyone under the sun sells your product AND people are starting to need them less due to the digital nature of the world, you're kind of fucked when sitting on a Big-Box paradigm.

One of the reasons I wish my firm would cut its ties with big-box retail. It's a sinking ship in the US.

Why is my hair so contrary?  Why?  It doesn't matter which side I part it on, it wants to be on the other side of my head.  I don't usually bother parting my hair, but sometimes I want to and it fights me every time!  I am so pissed off right now.

My hair does the same thing.  I just brush it and let it fall where it may.  It has enough volume and mass now that it tends to give up the fight against gravity pulling it where it wants to go.

What is the here that you are in?  Can you play noisy games or shh! Some one might see me games?  Depending on the answer... Borderlands 2, Tomb Raider or Mahjong Titans.

Yes, work, bored. I'm home now (and Mechwarring furiously) but I suspect tomorrow will be the same.

It's a fair bit that I've tried (and probably finished) every game in the Browser Titles subforum.

Sheesh, I need to move jobs.  Getting paid for doing fuck all and despite what some might think, that's not good.

There's a ton more iPad games. A MUD might be good awhile at work. Or developing something for fun (a MUD or flash game or learn HTML5, etc)

I like slower days, but boring days made me jump ship to another company. Now I'm slammed.

If I ever came into enough money that I could quit my job and not work anymore, I think I would actually go crazy. I have zero interest in working from home, I go nuts when I have too much downtime, and I need to social interactions of a workplace (even if they aren't always positive).

I guess I'd go back to art school or something, but I cannot imagine not doing ANYTHING anymore.

Have you tried the internet? It's made out of millions of people missing the point of everything and then getting angry about it
