Niners Fan in CT Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Okay, I googled it. I've definitely heard that song a ton of times but didn't know the name of the band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazlo Woodbine Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 500 Miles, Sunshine On Leith, Letter from America, I'm On My Way. In Scotland they still get played on the radio, but it's only ever those 4 songs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patrick B. Posted August 16, 2014 Share Posted August 16, 2014 Hope this mess in my area will end soon. Have de-friended sixteen people on Facebook and I'll probably ditch more before the weekend is over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victator Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 I have these days where my mind is cleared of all its clutter and I can fully see my life as it is. I spend my days mourning people who never cared about me and got happiness from hurting me. It is a terrible realization when you realize that is as good as it will get.

Patrick B. Posted August 17, 2014 Share Posted August 17, 2014 Didn't get anything in the mail about the balance I have due to the hospital(from when I had bronchitis). Checked the website today and it says I need to call the billing office...which is closed today, so I need to wait until tomorrow. Hate waiting to find out something like that...hope it doesn't go into collections. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jrag Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I know we closed the thread, but I feel like we HAVE to talk about this. Vice on the scene and not in the media staging area. Tim Pool just picked up two journalists running for their lives. .http://new.livestream.com/timcast/events/3295551 Multiple shots fired, Police moved in with tear gas/rubber bullets 3 hours before curfew, more shots fired, kids and journalists getting tear gassed.....

Swift Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 My "son of a..." I can't stand the way any level of discourse on current events is just shut down on this board. Shit, discussion is pre-emptively shut down in case some people might disagree with others, as if we're all children incapable of having meaningful discussions. I don't get it. If someone is crossing a line, give that person a warning. But instead, like in school, the whole class gets punished for one person's bad behaviour. Is it because a mod doesn't want to "police" the threads? There's never been much need in my opinion, and surely that's what the "report post" function is for. I obviously go elsewhere for discussion of current events in the world, so I'm not even asking for it to be allowed here. I just dislike the heavy handed attitude. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This place just ain't built for it. and if you don't remember it, you are so fortunate The thing is that, no matter how decent and/or intelligent an internet community is, discussion on a controversial subject is eventually going to devolve into name-calling and general stupidity. And, as BL88 pointed out, it eventually spills into other sections of the forum, just like the old politics forum did. The folks that moderate places like this have a lot of other shit to worry about. And, since we're pretty much here at their leisure, if they want to drop the hammer so that they don't have to babysit things 24/7, then hey. . .that's the way it is. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Super Ape Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Pretty much all of the above re: Ferguson. Frankly, I'm surprised the admins let it go on as long as it did; if it were me I'd have pretty much made a thread for it just to lock it and leave a message saying "ALL THESE TOPICS ARE YOURS EXCEPT (insert hot-button topic here). ATTEMPT NO DISCUSSION HERE." It can be shitty, yes, but unfortunately, discussing stuff like this on a forum, especially when it leaks onto other subforums is more trouble than it's worth, and I've been exposed to it enough to decide that if it were my call, my first instinct would be to nip it in the bud.

Jrag Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 I guess I just think discussing an American city turned war zone is more important than a few headaches, but I will respect the rule on this. Didn't mean to start the millionth version of this current events/no current events debate. Was mostly just trying to provide updates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it would be okay to make small payments per month but I guess not(I had been paying $10/mo.). Now I'll be shelling out $50/mo. Just gotta curb some of my extra spending and hope the work overtime doesn't run out any time soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niners Fan in CT Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 No, I was quiet about it too but I was not pleased the thread was closed because of the comments from one person. However, it probably would have been good if people didn't argue with the person either... I understand why we can't discuss it because it probably would have gotten worse from there.

John Austin Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Friend calls me to tell me of a job opening, send in my résumé and all that along with a cover letter. Never written a cover letter before, so I'm somewhat nervous about that, plus, I've been at the job I'm at for over 10 years so I'm....comfortable, but I know I've reached the proverbial glass ceiling. Any tips for writing a good cover letter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bustronaut Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Early April I finally had enough of my hearing loss to go to the doctor and try to figure just what the deal is. I'm pretty sure it's a Eustachian tube disorder brought on my colds/allergies. Get a hearing test (as required) and the ENT is like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ - "I have no idea what it is, how about we wait 3 months, and if it's still happening, we'll get you an MRI to see if you have tumors on your auditory nerves" Fast forward to last Friday - 3 months later my left ear is back to 100%, but my right ear is still showing a weird hearing loss. Says the ENT "I'm pretty sure it's a Eustachian tube disorder" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
