Dunno about revocation but if you default they may refuse to send your transcript to employers/other schools, etc.

He didn't seem too bright, he just said he got a letter demanding he send his physical diploma back. It just sounded like a fairy tale to me.

So weird problem, I have a cat who is peeing outside the litterbox. I have three cats so I don't know which one it is. I tried to set up my old laptop with an xbox live camera to catch which little bastard is doing it but all the camera software I've tried sucks rear end.

Suggestions for decent webcam software that will allow me to record for 8 hours straight? Also free?

I once used Justin.tv and flash media encoder to remotely watch my cat while on vacation. Be sure to take the kitty into the vet once you figure it out. You want to rule out any medical issues first.

We've already done that, took all three and got a clean bill of health for each. Whichever one is doing it is just being a jerk.

Edit: we've had 4 boxes for the last 9 months, they all use them, its just once a week or so there will be a piss spot on the carpet. Same spot every time. I think whichever one is doing it hates my TV stand.

As a PI regular, its not that scary as long as your not an idiot/ignore advice given.

But on topic for the cat thing - more litter boxes, try different kinds of litter, and grab some "cat attract" litter additive. Also, if you don't, clean the boxes daily. Some cats get a bee in their bonnet about the boxes being dirty.

We have a different type of litter in each box. I really think it's just one of them being a jerk. We don't allow them in my office or the bedroom because they knock poo poo over so I'm betting it's behavioral.

I had some horrible poo poo happen to me as a kid, but it was bullying, not abuse. It's just in my circle of friends it seriously seems like I'm the only one who wasn't diddled by their uncle as a kid.

My father broke 3 ribs when I was six. You learn to move on from poo poo at somepoint in life.

Hell I was one of a dozen white kids in my school when we lived in Gary, Indiana. But my classmates were awesome and treated me like an equal. When we moved and people found out I was from that school they treated me like poo poo.

I don't feel guilty about not being abused but I do feel a bit guilty every now and then when I realize how much poo poo I take for granted. Just stuff that should be normal but apparently isn't like having two good supportive parents, never having been poor, never been abused. Never really been bullied to any real degree either.

This is a better way of describing it, I do take poo poo for granted way too often.

I use an account at https://www.capitalone360.com as an intermediary between my real accounts and paypal. interceptorV8 turned me on to it when it was still ING Direct Orange. No fees, seems perfectly legit. I've given them no money, keep no money in it, but I've funneled a large amount between paypal any my real accounts. Might be worth a look.

I plan on actually keeping money in the account, I'm currently sitting on about $2500 in Paypal and my Amazon balance this period is already $300. I just want to keep it segregated from my paychecks so I don't spend it on worthless poo poo.

Some years back I sold my brother's Civic to a friend in dire need of a car for $1000. It's served her quite well, she's been in two fender benders and the car's been a champ. She'd told me the rear exhaust hanger snapped the other day and last night the pipe cracked just past the CC. So we just spent an hour under the car in the dark strapping the exhaust up until we can tackle it and seal the crack up properly. I like to feel useful and normally I don't like to help people with their cars but considering it came from me I didn't mind.

The problem is I'm a cheapass. The only item we've really splurged on in our entire house is that ridiculous couch. What should I look for in a lower-priced projector? I also don't mind buying used.

What's the distance from the couch to the tv? I have a 70" in my living room and we're at about 14 feet viewing distance and the thing is honestly too big.

10-13ft probably. The 51" we have down there feels fine but I have wall space for more.

I have a 50" Samsung DLP I bought like 6 years ago, it's sitting in the bedroom right now and is also too large for that application. When we move it's becoming the office tv and my 30" becomes the bedroom tv. 70" tvs have yet to really have a price break as far as I've seen but there's some incredible deals on 60" sets, go hit a Best Buy and try standing 14' from the tvs and find something you like.

We did some key swapping at C&C this morning. The verdict is, the MS6 isn't nearly as powerful as I'd like. I drove cam-swapped G8 today and it rocked my loving socks off. Also got behind the wheel of a California Special Mustang and a V8 Camaro. In the very near future I'm going to have an extra $400 a month, I think it might be time to find my upcoming mid-life crisis mobile.

A few years back we sold my brother's '94 Civic to a friend. It's in need of some work but she's scoring a new car from her parents and she was just gonna junk it. I've just made a deal to buy it for the scrap value of $350. It needs a hood, exhaust and some TLC but it runs strong as ever. It's a 5 speed so it'll give me a car to finally teach the girlfriend on.

Excellent film. John Byrne is old comic artist who's also an enormous prick.

Or, since it's Rhyno, just assume it's comic book related.

One of the few BSS posters I don't want to see beaten to death changed his avatar in a similar way as a throwback to the beginning of the subforum 10 years ago. In BSS it's well known that I want to see John Byrne die in a very painful way.
