Holy Poop.
It's only 9 AM.

I thought it was PM.
Thought I slept the whole day away.

Actaeon....the "check is in the mail" bit didn't work?

Actaeon....the "check is in the mail" bit didn't work?

I did send it. I'd have to check the check register, but it was around the end of April. Sent it the same time as my mortgage.
Apparently it's 4-6 weeks. So next time I'll send earlier. Or use someone else's paypal.
I had to go thru and delete a couple hundred PMs, so that my box wasn't full.
Then I decided to weed out my subscriptions, and get rid of all the useless ones.

Bummer. One of the reasons I truly hate paper checks is the processing time, and the frequency with which they're lost.

My wife's (soon to be) former school is giving the faculty an opportunity to buy some I pads that are 2 years old for $175. I told her to buy a couple. If we decide not to keep the second one for the kids would it be easy to get our money back through craigslist or here?? Its an I pad 2 I think and I don't know anything about these...except Jedi loves them so they must be top notch!

Jedi knows his stuff, so I agree this must be great.

I believe that price is about right. Ipad 2 is older, but functions fine. I got one for my wife a few years back and its served well.

One tip, depending on the age of your children, I'd think seriously about letting them have access to one. The few times our eldest (3 now) got some screen time with it, you could see that dull, unthinking look in her eye. Then when we would take it away....meltdown. We are very strict about her not accessing them now, so she uses her imagination like everyone did until fairly recently.

Not to mention that even the kid apps are loaded with spyware and ads.

I just want the History Channel to go back to showing shows about History.

I guess they could have a Discovery Jobs channel.

Exactly my point and same with discovery and Animal Planet to a smaller extent.

At least the Military Channel is still pretty good.

 

[chef larry]

Anyone going to see Godzilla this weekend?

 

[KLB]

At least the Military Channel is still pretty good.

You mean the American Heroes Channel?

It used to chow some of the Military stuff that History used to show. Now they seem to be moving more towards wanting to be a history channel of their own.

As long as someone is showing the actual historical stuff, I'm happy.

Has Snapdragon shot her shotgun yet?

 

[Snapdragon]

Nope.

We were supposed to today, but the angry plumber is still at my place...

Perhaps you should put up some motion sensor lights? Or maybe better than that, some InfraRed Video Cameras to capture the images of the culprit that disturbed your dog, and ultimately your sleep. Might just be a raccoon.

Give me a break Bob, I just moved in.... My wife thought the same about the coon, but my dog wont talk about it.

This sounds like you're saying a female in the house is having her time of the month and it's making you miserable. Lol

Great minds think alike!

FWIW, I've got 20 infrared cameras watching over my house, pool, workshop, gates, fuel tanks, etc. I even use IR floodlights to extend the field of view and effective distance of the cameras at night. If it happens around my house I have a recording of it. I use multiple DVRs in multiple locations connected by cat 5 ethernet cable and have it connected to my home network. There system can expand by another 4 cameras, but I've got most areas covered by 2 camera angles now.
