“I'm un-subbing from Monique. She just told me she hugs her car, and that, my friends, is something I just can't tolerate.”

So, this is the shit up with which you will not put? - Monique
wow..that is creepy - The Amber
Yes. Absolutely un-put up-with-able. - Derrick
I barely know her and knows she loves that car more than life itself. LOL - Anika Malone
I want to see a picture of said car. - Leather Donut
It is because it was a birthday gift from my parents and my first owned vehicle that I DID NOT HAVE TO PAY FOR. - Monique
+1 Monique: Here, Here!!! Stand up for your rights! Fight to hug your damn car! :o) - Still Just Katie
Oh bitch, please. *eyeroll* - Derrick
Monique: let's keep it limited to hugging ok? No fluids exchange. That ain't right. - Morgan Haley
Guess you better unsub me, too, D. Cuz I loves mah truck. - Steven Perez
I don't hug my car, but I do talk to her and pat her dashboard every now and then. :D We so craaaaaazy. - Amanda H.

“I have a bad habit of setting really high, unreasonable expectations for myself, and then feeling like shit when I can't meet them. So far, haven't found a way to fix this other than moping and possibly alcohol. The latter remains untested because I'm usually too busy moping to have a drink. :)”

How about setting really high expectations about how low you can make your expectations? Then when you don't make your really low target you may be right where you need to be. - todd
ok, i get all that...but does that mean we're going to see more pictures of you in striped socks? - Live4Soccer
try to discover where the bad habit is coming from. are you trying to reach goals that you think others want you to hit? was there a lot of pressure to achieve put on you earlier in life? does this bad habit apply to all parts of your life or just certain ones? step back and take a deep breath and try to figure out how to plug the hole in the boat, instead of just bailing water for the rest of your life. just a suggestion. - Morgan Haley
Maybe try breaking up that giant expectation into smaller expectations? - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Tina is right, break the large goal into small goals. When you conquer all your small goals, you will have accomplished the larger one - RAPatton
Thirded on the smaller goals. It's great to have goals in the first place, it keeps you from being completely lazy at times and a sense of accomplishment always feels good. Is it the goals themselves that are too big, or the time frame in which you want to accomplish them? If the latter, try setting more short-term than longer ones. - Haggis (Sean)
I do too, and set too many, and often end up meeting none of them. My new thought process is 'baby steps'. - Mo Kargas
"Alcohol: the cause of and solution to all of life's problems" - Homer Simpson. :D - Haggis (Sean)
It's already been said by others, so I'll fourth it. Baby steps are the best. - Helen Sventitsky
Morgan, I think it does go back earlier in my life, not really because anyone was actively *pressuring* me, though, but because I was always a stellar student and felt it was essential to achieve. I naturally excelled at a lot of things, but as I got older, less so. Now, I think my brain still expects everything to come naturally (and quickly) to me, so when it doesn't or when it takes too long for me to learn something, I mark it off as a failure. - The Bohemian Penguin
For the most part, I do alright with managing my goals and taking baby steps, but now and then the combination of hunger and hormones and unmet expectations just hits me all at once. Today wasn't even a bad day, just a day in which a bunch of little things piled up and brought me down. Everyone has 'em, but for whatever reason, I've never figured out how to handle them. - The Bohemian Penguin
My best advice is this: Just do your best. And know that your best changes many times per day. Just do the best that you can at the moment. Let non-vital things slide sometimes. Focus on the core things and some extra silly things every day. Be the best You that you can be. I don't know you but you strike me as a pretty amazing person. The fact that you are asking these questions and wondering how you can be better and happier, is a very good thing! - Morgan Haley
that part of you that sets too high standards is just that, a part, not who you really are - what does it want from you? what is it afraid will happen if you don't set unattainable goals? answer these questions and can begin to reframe its role in your life - William Harryman
Ditto what Morgan sad. Oh, and {{{{{{ HUGZ }}}}}} - Haggis (Sean)

Packaging: Another Fine Mess
10 hours ago - thedieline.com - Link
"A line of cleaning and home repair liquid solutions inspired by the comic duo, Laurel and Hardy. Always getting into trouble and creating a mess, the two always had a fantastically absurd story behind each dilemma. Rather than looking at a mess as a problem, Another Fine Mess is for those who see the light-hearted and funny side in potentially disastrous situations." - vijay via Bookmarklet

OMG, do people still use those? - Logical Extremes
Lady in red is holding a VHS - AJ Batac
the car parked outside uses 8-track tapes - Pete D via fftogo
It was the oddest thing ever! I went over and picked it up and it was labeled with flower names. Took it to the shop owner and she said "Oh, that's a needlepoint pattern disk, one of my kids was playing with it". RANDOM. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Stolen from the Smithsonian? - Tapio Kulmala
Don't copy that floppy! - Phil Glockner For Hire
wow. my dad still has a huge collection of those with data on them. He has at least switched to using CD-Rs now, but the archives are still there. I have about 20 blank ones I kept in case of an emergency but got rid of the rest. - xero
Could be anything. Need a higher-res (or closer-up) photo. You don't have to store images on floppies anymore, remember? (Or, maybe it's a iPhone Nano dressed up to look like a floppy.) - Wade Dorrell
I had windows xp instruct me to insert the disk utility floppy disk the other day when I was trying to save a computer at work. Yea, no floppy drive. - mathew, keynote not lame
Wade =P I know it was a floppy because I went and picked it up. And this is as good as my G1 pics get when it comes to floppies that are 10 feet away =D - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
That's basically the conversation Dave and I had once we'd returned the disk: how long has it been since we've had a computer with a floppy drive? I think my Frankenstein'd server has one, but other than that the last desktop floppy we've had was on a box from around 2000. - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
Since when women have been interested in floppies? ;) - Jemm
We are now down to one computer with floppy drives (both 5.25" and 3.5"). We have a lot of data on floppies and zip discs, but rarely need to access it. It's just in case. - Anika Malone
This is so retro :) - Ryo
WTF is a floppy disk?!?! - Simon Wicks
It's like a thumb drive, except bigger and smaller all at the same time =D - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
A precussor to the sensible way to store data, besides did this person run out in embarsment after bringing in a Pentium 300 Laptop with Floppy A Drive, and how secure are those files like to be on there I wonder! - Josh Chandler
+100 @Tina - Kenton
Reminds me of the "cool printer" my kids saw in a store a couple of years ago. It had keys with each letter of the alphabet on it and as soon as you pressed one of the keys, the letter printed on a piece of paper. They thought it was one of the coolest things they'd seen. - Kenton
They hear me roll'n sector by sector, they hate'n - Micah Wittman via twhirl
@Kenton: Cool! Real-time printer! :) - Jemm
@Kenton - Wow, I've never thought of an electronic typewriter as being mistaken for a printer. - xero
@kenton they may have thought it was steampunk? - Jason Shultz via twhirl
who use floppies? yuk... - orionstarr
I did until the beginning of last year, not for important stuff. But they did store odd text files! - Josh Chandler
trash.. - Caroline
An old '01 Dell of mine which I used until '04 had a floppy drive. I doubt the drive was used more than a half dozen times though. Last time I can remember actively using them for anything but coasters is to store clip art and play DOS games like The Oregon Trail and Commander Keen in the early 90's. - Tom Harrison
I can honestly say I have used one in the last two months. Someone had a piece of software that they needed installed. I found a pc in the office and put the contents of the old floppy on a usb stick. It all felt too strange. That place has more than one 8 year old server running mission critical apps, too. - Tim Wright
I can't even recall the last floppy drive that existed in my house. I did find a floppy in the bottom of a box in my closet not too long ago and I thought about having it bronzed and mounted for displaying on my knick knack shelf. :) - Amanda H.
are you sure that your flux capacitor didn't send you to 1989? maybe it needs some adjustment? - Neil Bernhart
I keep one as a backup for sentimental reasons. - JлsonTFleming
I've got a stack of floppies somewhere. They have my old saved Space Quest, Kings Quest, and Leisure Suit Larry saved games on them. - Pete D via fftogo
@Pete I had all those games. they were awesome. I was a big Sierra fan back in the day. - Jason Shultz via twhirl
Sierra and Dynamix both, Jason. Oh, the days of installing Outpost 2 with its dozen plus floppies...joy! - Pete D
Two words: Oregon Trail - Steve Craft
Dude, if Oregon Trail had been written on the front of this disk I wouldn't have even turned it in. That bad boy would've been slipped in my pocket with a quickness! - Stupid Blogger (aka Tina)
but then you would have likely died of dysentery. man I always died of dysentery in that damn game . - mikepk

So I found out yesterday that the soundstage for "The Wire" still existed. I wasted no time in visiting it and was there almost less than 24 hours. It's one of my favorite TV shows ever and I had to see this before everyone ruined it. The building is also scheduled for demolition and they are going to build a super market on it. - Cee Bee
No! That's so sad- well, maybe the neighbourhood really needs a supermarket? - Abby Martin
"The Diamond Point Plaza" ... I had no idea! But to be fair, that area doesn't really NEED a supermarket. There's at least three that I can think of right off the top of my head that are only about a minute away from that spot. - Ninth
When "Homicide" wrapped they sold off the props and costumes right on the set. Most of the good stuff was gone but I got a really nice raincoat. I kinda wanted the "bloodstained" clothes but thought better of it. - m9m
