Wow there is a huge debate this yr at my kids elem school involveing a palm vein scanner to help speed up lunch times. Alot of religious people a freaking out threating to take their kids out of this school saying that this scanner is The Mark of the Beast. Its a handprint people. Everyone gets fingerprinted at birth. Wow I dont know what to make of these people. I respect their beliefs but they seem to be taking this to a rather unnecs level saying this is the end times.

Everybody gets fingerprinted at birth? That's a new one on me.

I am pretty sure most hospitals in the US do the footprint thing to ward against baby switching and that's about it.

Something is very wrong with that cat. o_O

Deadlines, deadlines and more deadlines. Trying not to feel stressed but it's not easy.

[Obdigore]

I want to do something in my free time, preferably something that makes me money, but I have no idea what to do, and I want it to be something I can do at my own pace, out of my home. I'm bored with life.

Design an iPod/ Android app. There's serious money in that.

Otherwise, online poker might be an answer. If you do some numbercrunching and a bit of risk/reward research, the very low stakes tables where people just go online to "gamble" might net you some money (likely limited to small change), and with fairly good odds of getting away with it, too, , but Mac is the man to talk to in this regard. It might grow old very fast, though, as essentially you're playing below your own level.

[Shiara]

Try something new, something you can do with your hands. Be creative. I hear there's money in restoring furniture, and if you've got the tools already you can often make a decent profit in doing up a classic piece.

The waterproof clothes work have given me are fairly liberal in their definition of the term "waterproof". Not amused by how wet I am...

That's what I was referring to.

There is a considerable difference between obsolete footprints that nobody ever uses outside the first couple days of a baby's life and the biometrics of children being handled by a school system (not usually well known for their excellent data security and confidentiality).

I seem to be unable to type out my thoughts in a cohesive manner to join in on the discussion forums This is bothering me greatly, as I have cohesive thoughts and opinions... they just somewhow get lost between my brain and my fingers and all the crystal meth.

Fixed for a more effective excuse.

I wish AAA games would be released around the year not just at in the final 3/4 months of the year. I don't have time to play them all during that time, you bastards.
Also, simple things like money and sleep are lacking. My first world problems are crushing. Waaaaah.

Fixed for harsh accuracy.

My girlfriend isn't on holiday from the 15th to the 29th, she's on holiday until the 1st of September. So I'm going 17 days without her while she's having sex in Greece. Not even Guild Wars 2 becoming playable on the 25th is making me feel better.

Fixed to mess with Illy.

Forge of Darkness was ordered on August 2nd. It was supposed to be here on the 9th. It is now the 16th and b/c Amazon.co.uk does not have its act together regarding tracking information, I cannot track it and any attempt to inquire online about its whereabouts lead to error messages.

I'm giving it until Friday afternoon and then I'm requesting a refund for it and getting it elsewhere.

[Puck]

It's supposed to be up to 39°C on Sunday. I'm dying of the thought alone

Is the smell of wet Simeon anything like wet dog?

[Wolfy]

An inability to sleep the past 2 evenings

[Shiara]

Flaming sore throat that woke me up at 2:30am this morning and wouldn't let me get back to sleep. Have taken today off in the hopes that rest will forestall further transformation into mucus monster.

Similar I guess but I don't mind cos I have to get the stink of the dead off me somehow.

Fixed & crossed out before Abyss can get to it... ;-)

Home from Greece, been awake for 25.5 hours and counting...

[Adjutant Stormy~]

Not feeling good.

Haven't been sleeping well. Vicious nightmares and summer heat making it a waste of time.
And yet I'd still rather try to sleep than do anything else, especially look for work, and even play videogames.

[Shiara]

Vicious throat infection has advanced to claim my vocal chords. Might have to consider going to the doctors after all.
