Anybody there?
 
 
Benny the Ball
23:31 / 18.05.05
I am. But not for long. Just walked away from the poker table 500 up, and bed is calling.
 
 
Liger Null
23:31 / 18.05.05
So I finally get my ex out of the apartment and now he's having difficulty getting a job (which shouldn't come as a suprise, seeing as he quits them all after a month) Now he wants to stay here for the summer until fall term starts, when he'll be able to get another place with his financial aid money.

He's offering me his deposit of $325 if I let him stay here, which would be just enough money to pay off my computer.

How do I handle this situation?
 
 
Benny the Ball
23:35 / 18.05.05
Don't do it. Show no signs of weakness now, otherwise it'll be a slow, creeping process of compromise until all is lost and there is no way back! The ex is out, let the ex stay out.
 
 
Liger Null
23:36 / 18.05.05
500 up? is that good? I know fuck-all about poker...
 
 
Benny the Ball
23:39 / 18.05.05
$500. But it's only make believe money.
 
 
Triplets

Hello?

Is it me you're looking for?
 
 
Liger Null
23:44 / 18.05.05
I wondered where you were

and I wondered what you did
 
 
Triplets
23:45 / 18.05.05
Just answered a pen friend I met through one of those online personal ad thingies. She seems like a nice girl. Much more literate than the other 99% of screaming banshees mashing text through a keyboard which has been replaced by a mobile phone touchpad.
 
 
Benny the Ball
23:46 / 18.05.05
Hey, Ms. Triplets, there's only 5 profile numbers between us.
 
 
Triplets
23:47 / 18.05.05
Seriously, it's like they talk by throwing maltesers at a speak&spell. They're all 'mahd' as well, most of 'em.
 
 
Triplets
23:47 / 18.05.05
And yet, Benny. Love will tear us apart.
 
 
Benny the Ball
23:48 / 18.05.05
That's my phone ring thing

so here we are, the three of us, together at last...
 
 
Liger Null
23:51 / 18.05.05
Congratulations, I hope things work out well
 
 
Liger Null
23:52 / 18.05.05
Whatever that means...
 
 
Triplets
23:52 / 18.05.05
Between me and Benny? Me too, me too... But he's... he's been so distant lately.
 
 
Liger Null
23:55 / 18.05.05
You need to DEMAND communication. Don't be a doormat, Triplets.

TOUGH love is where it's at. Oh, and don't listen to all thaty guff about him being "affianced" ... I'm sure it's all for show.

(Benny- great CD, BTW!)
 
 
lekvar
23:58 / 18.05.05
And Good Evening to the rest of you.
 
 
Triplets
23:59 / 18.05.05
Okay, but only if you keep your ex out like a plague of dirty zombies.

Seriously, don't turn your life into a prolonged episode of Friends for the sake of a computer.
 
 
Liger Null
00:01 / 19.05.05
I wish it was Friends. Then it would at least be funny in a contrived sitcom sort of way.
 
 
Benny the Ball
00:02 / 19.05.05
Your welcome.

Wasn't there an episode, or part of Friends where the one with the pain killer addiction can't kick the guy from Barbalith favourite The Prophercy out of his flat.... That's what'll happen.
 
 
Liger Null
00:04 / 19.05.05
Who would want to kick Cristopher Walken out of their apartment?

Then again...forget I asked that question...
 
 
Triplets
00:05 / 19.05.05
Or, the one where Chandler can't kick the paranoid schizo out from his flat.

Eddie: I got a little surprise. Look. There's a new fishie. I named him, uh, Chandler. You know, after... after you.
Chandler: Well that's not even a real fish. No, that's a goldfish cracker.
Eddie: What's you point, man?


Oh, Friends! You weren't contrived at all!

Urgh, just deleting trojan off my poor machine. Virus removal tool tells me "you have no trojan" but pops up a message to say it's quarantined the final two evidences of the virus. Does that make sense? Why no, no sense at all. Stupid world.

After 7 years of blissful Mac usage I got my first trojan last week. Just a little one, and one that didn't even affect XP. But I felt so violated. I didn't even feel that creeped out when my apartment was broken into. I guess that shows where my head/heart is at.
 
 
Liger Null
00:12 / 19.05.05
They always say they don't have a trojan.

Then they say they don't have a virus.

Don't believe them.

First they came for the PCs, but I was a Mac user, so I remained silent...

Well I think I got it. The bugger. It took two downloads, five scans and a few hours but the bastard's been medicated. I have blocked the fool that can't run a virus scan on their own computer. No messenger access with me fool.
