That's not a huge surprise.

It's raised a lot of money for the forums at least...and also a lot of money for charity too. Apparently the mods waived toxxes if the person in question donated to RAINN.

Actually they didn't. Apparently they didn't talk that over with Lowtax first, so the bans happened anyway. Not a big deal, we knew what we were signing up for, and donating to RAINN is a good thing anyway.

Marriage is loving weird man. This year we've gone from happy, to near divorce, to settling into a weird 'friend' routine, and now back to mostly normal. I don't get it.

Had a somber beginning to the day. We went to the funeral of a friend of ours. He was only 30 years old. Stage four cancer. He fought for a few years. Had it licked too. He and his wife have three young children ranging from 5 to under two. They just got home from a trip together and on the ride home from the airport he started feeling really off. Went to the hospital to find out he was having a heart attack. He was placed in a medical induced coma so that they could get his kids and family there to say goodbye. This guy was clean living his whole life and so positive. The take away from words his wife shared was that he always said 'if you can't change it, you might as well enjoy it'.

I truly hate cancer.

All of these systems are hooked up to a RGB switch box which is currently connected to nothing because my wife refused to let me bring my old goodwill trinitron into our beautiful new house and why the hell do you have a 20 year old tv anyway

Goondolences. Ive had two friends OD this year and it was hard for us to deal with. No where near as hard as what you and your friends family are going through. But it gets easier. Never better but easier. If nothing else be there for the family. When my one friend passed her little sister lost it. And a bunch of us got together and made her feel better even if only for a few hours. You just gotta remind people that life is beautiful no matter how dark it gets.

Gah, I haven't been able to have a good restful sleep for weeks now. Get tired, fall asleep easy enough around midnight, but I just keep tossing and turning from about 2-3AM on, and finally just get out of bed after about 5 or 6 hours ragged rear end tired.

Made a point of not drinking any alcohol at all for the past few days or eating snack foods either. No difference. I want to try exercising a bit more (maybe running on the treadmill for a bit in the early evenings) but I am so tired it's tough to get the energy to do it. I tried a couple of types of sleep aids (antihistamine nd Zopiclone), but all they do is make me even more exhausted in the morning. :( The wife says I'm not snoring so I don't think it's like apnea or anything like that, and I'm a stomach/side sleeper anyhow.

Also, started watching "The Crown" on Netflix with the wife. Only about 3 episodes in but it's better than I expected it to be. Production values and acting are really good.

Actually, I am pretty sure I do have small bottle melatonin, but you know I haven't tried it in ages. Thanks for the reminder, I totally forgot about it.

As a side and I suspect you are well aware of this, keep in mind the whole "natural" thing should be taken with a grain of salt especially when it comes to supplements.

So we had some fun as this election bullshit was going on.

Getting ready for bed and hear a couple hard bangs, SMASH. Mrs. Slidebite looked out the window and yelled for me, I flew up the stairs and couldn't find her. Grabbed some clothes (I was getting ready for bed of course) and ran back in and said to call 911 repeating a plate number.

Turns out some fuckhead pulled up next to my company truck on the side of my house and smashed both front and back windows. Mrs. went outside, yelled at him, ran behind his car to get his plate, and he threw it in reverse trying to run her over. By this time 3 other neighbors were outside watching this. She jumped out of the way so she's fine.

BUT, instead of taking off, went 40' around the corner and tried to do the same thing to a neighbors car.. with my neighbors plainly watching. Took out his hatchet and started wailing on it with the handle side (??). Other neighbor from across the street yelled at him and came running over, fuckhead tried to back over him too and then took off.

End of the night and several 911 calls later, cops came by, statements taken and got some info. It looks like this guy started doing this in a totally different section of town about half hour earlier and spread to the other end of town. The cop that took our statement said something like 40 people were hit and it sounded like there was another cop doing a different bunch. Supposedly they had the guy and we'll find out more today, supposedly though my truck was the last one. I'll post a couple pics and more info later.

Jesus what a clusterfuck last night was.

Ever get any resolution to this?
