Actually, our tv in our living room died the other day so the only tv we have now is a 10 incher with built in vcr and that is in our bedroom. My fiance wants to get a new tv but we don't really watch much...I know when winter comes, we do watch more...and if we want to watch any rental movies...we have to watch on the laptop, which sucks...we don't watch movies too frequently either though...I just don't want to spend money on a TV!
I don't have anything other than over the air TV either. Until recently I was out of the house 14-24 hours a day between commuting and work, so why bother? I use my cell phone for internet access... that however, is a different story as to why no internet in my house.
@bethanie0825 I love This Old House. I grew up with it too. However, TOH then bed on a Saturday night... sometimes I feel pathetic.
In fact, while others were watching Saturday Morning cartoons, I was watching TOH with Bob Vila, then Steve Thomas with my father. There was also the New Yankee Workshop with Norm Abrams... and then a few years later Home Again with Bob again.
Besides, nothing really all that good on cable, other than Mythbusters and Deadliest Catch.0 -
I wish we could get cable "a la carte". We'd pay for Discovery! PBS has some good science-y shizz though...0

Yes and he hates it.Frankie_Felinius wrote: »lilaclovebird wrote: »SSP showed me a fungus type thing growing on one of our door ways and I got "kind of" close to his physical person and he practically RAN to his squad car and drove to the other campus. I laughed SO hard. He's afraid of me. :laugh:

Maybe. That's sort of what Officer Paige said. I told the story about the fungus, ending with "I guess I got too close because he practically ran away and I'm not sure why" *Officer Paige laughs* "He ran because he's got a 'loaded gun'" and he winked and continued chuckling. No one really knows that we spent any time outside of work together.
I'm really wondering what is said about me when I'm not here because I know we all talk about the other PSO's and Officers behind their backs. Not a lot of it is bad stuff. Most people complain about DJ talking too much on the radio, Tony thinking he knows how to run the whole world because he had a multi-million dollar company for 2 years, Jeanette talking about how desperately she wants to lose weight and how if she could just get in to see her doctor that would fix everything, Carlos not giving ANY information at pass on/roll call and his lack of ability to read and write in English, Steven wanting to talk politics to anyone and everyone and wanting to carry a gun at work but thinking they should be banned from all homes, Officer Austin talking all about his retirement and generally wanting to be in charge and run everything but not wanting any actual responsibility, Officer Goerig's unique schedule given solely because she can't work evening shifts, Officer Paige and his 24 year old daughter who makes over twice what I do per year but can't make her $300 car payment(mine's $510), Can't pay rent(I pay $700/month), can't pay her own insurance(I will pay for all three vehicles in January), can't pay her own phone bill(I pay $100 of our $195) and still lives with him.
ETA: DJ talks too much period. She's the one who gets to talking and I can't shut her up and next thing I know I've been standing in the doorway for 2 hours..

I'd hate to be a fly on wall when people talk about me...I don't even have decent opinions about myself! The people who reeeeally know me, know I'm fun to be around but everyone else...I'm sure words like "snobby" and "bitchy" come up a lot. I'm quiet, but not when I have someTHING to say. I'm a bit...unfiltered. I'm not shy but I don't socialize so I seem, I guess not seem, I am very standoffish. But if I'm friendly with someone, you can't shut me up and I'm probably one of the goofiest/least effs giving kind of person they know.

These runners...
EVERY time we have runners, they want early breakfast. They could have asked when they booked and they were told when they checked in, breakfast at 7. They all say "I just want a _____". Yeah, but if 50 of you want a ________, that is early breakfast. I'm not being an *kitten*...it is what it is...0 -
Ok, buckling down...I'm gonna start that costume TODAY.0

They should have brought their own foods for their super early breakfast!
I enjoy running. But if I'm going somewhere for an even or what have you, and they don't have early breakfast/24 hour room service, I just bring my own foodstuffs. Because I'm awesome and love food....0 -

News Flash: If everyone comes and requests stuff early, then breakfast isn't gonna be on time at all, 'cause I'm busy running around taking orders.

Ha, it honestly very seldom occurs to me that people talk to me behind my back, but I think that's tied in to the fact that I feel generally invisible. IRL, it's probably some combination of good/bad, depending on the person. I have a fairly polarizing personality, I think.0

Damn no eclipse for me it's overcast. Happens every effing time0
-
No eclipse for me either. It's been raining since Thursday night. It stopped but we're socked in clouds. Boo.
And I always look to see what time a hotel serves breakfast, if at all, before I book. Not your fault they failed to pay attention.0 -
I saw some of it as I was walking to my car. It looked pretty cool.0

Yup. You either love me or hate me. I typically don't like people that are similar to me though, that says a lot! One of my fiance's friends is a LOT like me...and we totally butt heads!

I'm told I come across as extremely confident and/or intimidating, which I can see would be offputting to some people. I'm not actually that way, but somehow I have the appearance of being so.0
-
Fake it 'til you make it! I'm always told how confident I seem...but like you...I don't feel I really am that way. I think it is a defense mechanism, at least for me...exude confidence and people believe it. I used to tell my fiance I didn't REALLY have confidence, I just faked it so I wouldn't be vulnerable. He said that you have to have some level of real confidence to successfully pull off fake confidence. I realized he was right and that actually helped develop my REAL confidence! (Still a work in progress but hey...)0

Anybody want a cat? Just found a stray in our lot. Very sweet young male. Black and white longer haired. Tried giving him some water and hard boiled egg, just wants to cuddle in my lap. He obviously had a home at one point. A guest asked me something and heard the cat meowing in the back office, asked if it was a cat. I said yeah, found him in the lot. He asked if I was going to adopt it. I said no, we have 3 cats and a dog already, but I wish. He's going to the shelter in the morning. He goes "You know, he'll probably just die at the shelter." I said "Not necessarily, all of ours are adopted so they don't all die." What a jerk!0

If he was so worried about it, why didn't he offer to take it? Like somehow it's his place to make it your responsibility?0

I read the above as: "Anybody want a car? Just found a stray in our lot." I need coffee to wake up.0 -
LOL.
I did too. You know, most cars die at the shelter. 0 -
Actually, we do have a stray car back there too. Some abandoned junker...police say it has to be abandoned ____ amount of time before we can tow it.
@jennifer_417 Right?! Finders keepers, apparently in his mind. This next comment will surely rub someone the wrong way but I'm a firm believer in it. It is very similar to your comment. People who are pro-life...where are all of their adopted/foster kids? Don't encourage women to choose adoption and then not support all of those children without families...just sayin'....0 -
Tried to adopt a couple of times. I was shocked how expensive it is, even through the state! The one agency wanted $15,000 for the adoption fees. We had no kids and I made decent money and I was in the military at the time so we had good insurance. I couldn't come up with the $15K.0
-
I can't go so far as to say that everyone who is pro-life should adopt. Most of the time, if a woman gets pregnant, it's because she chose to engage in behavior that got her so. I think we want to have risk-free sex in our culture, and it just isn't a thing. Pregnancy is a consequence of sex.
Now, given the option, I personally would adopt, and I probably will when I am able, since it's unlikely that I can have my own children. But yeah, it's a really difficult process under the best of circumstances.0 -
I've got a lab that ate a dead deer leg and now is having seizures. Nothing stuck in the intestines. I'm hoping that blood work will let me know what is going on with the liver and kidneys and hope it's not actually antifreeze instead of the deer.0

One of my best friends in high school gave her firstborn up for adoption at 16. She is still with the same guy and had 3 more kids with him (once they got older). I'm not close with her now so I can't ask her but I always wonder if the other kids know, I wonder if it is her mind when she says stuff about "my three kids" when she really has four...I can't even imagine what that must be like...
It is shocking how expensive adoption is. I understand it isn't free to place kids, care for them in the meantime, check up on families, qualify families, etc...on one hand, I think if it was not so expensive, more people would do it...but that isn't necessarily a good thing either, trafficking and all...then again, money doesn't equal good parents...but to know there are so many willing and capable and loving parents that can't afford adoption and kids with no parents that will never get adopted...is heartbreaking...0
