Just thought I'd say that being happily married isn't really a valid basis for judging the success of one's life. It's the sum contents of one's character rather than the contents of the ring finger. And if you are letting another person make you feel like that, you are giving them too much power. - Johnny Worthington
Welcome to my world, though most times it's like, wow, I made the right decision. Just sayin' - anna
:) Y'all are right, of course. He was someone I dated at a very VERY low point in my life and he made me feel even lower than that. I think it's the fact that he was such a cockface and is now smelling like roses that gets my goat more than anything else. It does crack me up though that his wife's name is also Amanda... - Amanda H.
It's one of the many curses of the small town we grew up in. But some how thing's will work out for you in the end. - Zehn
Heh, he's not from around here. He's a guy I dated about five years ago, originally from Washington. A total waste of skin, IMO. - Amanda H.
The G10 is a nice camera, but I think Canon has started to stumble a bit with the compacts and let others catch up. It used to be a no-brainer to go with Canon always, but not anymore. Definitely check out some others (especially the LX3) before buying. - Jason K.
Oh I don't plan on buying it. I added it to my wishlist so I could remember to go back later and figure out why it's almost $200 cheaper than my G9...which is a fucking sexy camera, BTW - Amanda H.
Got a Powershot A580s recently for my wife. She's really happy with it, although I wish I'd gotten her the A590 with image stabilization now. it's a good little camera for the price. Paid $149 for it, but Amazon now selling the A590s for $109 last time I looked. - Ian May
Seriously horrific. My brother couldn't understand why the car still smelled after he'd thoroughly cleaned it for me. I drove home, undid the seatbelt, felt a little dampness on my sweater, and looked down to see gobs of puke that had been stuck to the seatbelt and were now all over the front of me. ARGH. - Amanda H.
No. It was actually great. Oh, except for the huge tiff I had with KMart staff over their incompetence with a Sony BluRay player. But that's a whole tumblr entry in and of itself. - Amanda H.
Competence and KMart are terms that do not go together. When did KMart start carrying Blu-ray? - Eric @ CS Techcast
When they decided to be inconceivable douchebags and have a sale on them on Thanksgiving Day and put a bunch of 16yr olds in charge of their electronics section. The kind that waste your time by saying "We have one left, wait here and we will bring it to you" and then after you wait for 30 minutes, they bring it out and hand it to someone who ISN'T YOU. It's the only time I've ever lost my shit in a store. - Amanda H.
Even worse...management refused to deal with me face-to-face when I asked to speak with a manager about getting a rain check. They kept sending the teenagers back to deal with me. Needless to say, a nasty e-mail to their corporate customer service was fired off later that day, detailing how their incompetence AND inability to deal with their own mistake cost them a $2000+ tv and home theater purchase I had also been preparing to make. Told them "have fun staying afloat in this economy with people like that scaring off your customers." - Amanda H.
But really? The puke in the seatbelt was still SO MUCH WORSE. - Amanda H.
I have a worse puke story. But it's going in my book - it's made THE LIST! On a lighter note - does the car now smell better? And how much will your brother have to grovel even more now? - WorldofHiglet
No, the car still has that "sweet" smell of puke to it. I think it just needs a few days of direct sunlight and windows down to bake it out. And a bit of Febreze of course. He's going to have to grovel a WHOLE lot. Plus he will be buying me Dark Knight on Blu-Ray as a peace offering. :) - Amanda H.
*pale* at the thought of the smell after it being in the hot sun.... - WorldofHiglet
I know, right? I've had good results with that with other car smells...here's to hoping my luck won't run out. - Amanda H.
I will, as always, be completely fucking skeptical until the DVD is firmly in my hot little hands. Because really, this isn't the first time Lynch has said this. But still. Fingers crossed yet again. - Amanda H.
Dude. How long have we been waiting? It feels like years... Oh, wait it has been years. Fuck. - Jenny R.
