Are all your variables initialized properly?

(I always ask this ever since I had a program in VAX Pascal I couldn't figure out. It worked fine in the debugger, but produced garbage otherwise. It turned out the debugger was automatically initializing the variables.)

*snicker*

My very good friend's wife of 10 years and partner of 15 moved in with her boyfriend after telling him she'd been having an affair for since christmas. his 5 and 7 year old boys don't understand why mom didn't come home last night. :(

Sorry, lookout. :( At least she didn't take the kids away with her, right?

No, they'd get in the way of her party like a rockstar dreams.

WOW, that sucks.

My procrastination pisses me off today. I have 3 tests, all of my Spanish homework, 2 plays to read and a critique over each, all due next week. I also have to bust my ass to pack and move by Sunday. I should have done it last week.

Its rainin' outside and I swear I'm hearing a drip here IN the library, not good...

@ Limey: You're right. Starting with the nearest thing might be the way to force at least some kind of a start! Certainly, trying to pick a thing to start with and not be too concerned with the gestalt might help.

How's things with your mum this week?

@MTP: I totally get that :P

:rolleyes: Yes. The verifiable fact is that I am using two identical hardware platforms.

Grumble.

Is one or both of them new? Any possibility one is not performing to spec?

Thank you for calling. Remember, your business is important to us and we care about your concerns.

I'm off to look at care homes on the mainland next week - I'd rather she were nearer, but that may not be possible ... :(

Ach. Good luck honey. Hopefully you'll find something workable. Let us know how you get on.

They were purchased at the same time, and they have sequential serial numbers. Same firmware & driver revisions, too. :confused:

Hmmmm. Any outside inputs into this thing or your software? Temperature sensors? Date/time input?

Are the outputs of the two the same on subsequent runs? i.e. Unit A always outputs 1.1 and unit B always outputs 1.11?

Did you get your money yet?

I don't think it's stress - things have been going really well here recently. I didn't get Mum's news after after the second one had already hit.

Today - being spooked as all hell at still not being able to keep water down after 5 days, I got a telephone appointment. Which was a great plan, but the Cod wanted to see me anyway - urgh.

Gave a pee sample - yes, I could have guessed I'd be dehydrated :) Also a trace of blood in the urine, so it's had to go off to be analysed. My blood pressure is also very high, but that's something to watch on an ongoing basis she says.

Apart from that, I've had a reaction to the codeine I was prescribed for the pain on Tuesday and this is what has been making me hurl incessantly and making my eyes so sensitive and my face itchy. Grumble grumble stupid body.

So current plan of attack. Eat after I throw up, so as much can be retained by my body as possible. Take Nurofen (ibroprofen) migraine tablets at this point too for the same reason - also can't take them on an empty stomach.

Keep taking sips od tepid water, and trying to trick my body into bland flabby foods as much as possible.

It nearly worked with the strawberry Muller Rice. Nearly in that it hadn't been down enough to taste bad, and after all it was soft. Not quite so keep on the smell of strawbs now though.

That's awful SG. You probably already tried it: but does massaging neck, shoulders, head and ears help any?
If your blood pressure is that high, did the doc mention it could be causing the migraine? I remember my mom had blood pressure related migraines before the meds.
Best wishes!

My buddy with diabetes had to have a toe removed. He seems in good spirits, but it's still a bummer.

Stupid car. Now the passenger side window is stuck halfway open. And it's rainy. Probably means a new motor? Like -- $300?

Clearly, must start saving money in earnest for a new car. Next year, perhaps.

Power windows. Just one more thing on a car to break, and totally unnecessary. I'll choose a manual crank any day. Do they even make any with manual cranks any more?

Mine comes with a crank in the front driver's seat.

very difficult to find unless you buy a stripped down model without A/C - :eek:

I agree. The power windows always seem to break, but they don't put hand cranks on anything but the very cheapest cars.

kludge.

and, I'm spiraling downward today.:sniff:

My stereo bluetooth headset keeps having issues with the contacts in the removable part that attaches the right/left side earpiece, making it cut out, and making me have to constantly fuck with it if I move at all.

Doesn't *anything* just WORK?

Fixing crap in this house never goes according to plan. Gotta order another damn part and wait a week for it to arrive.

I have an ear blocked with water from swimming yesterday. Ive tried heated oil, rubbing alcohol mixed with vinegar, listerine, the hairdryer and every other rememdy Ive come across.

No pharmacies open in this town today, so I cant go eat anything over the counter.

I cant hear and Im off balance.

What you need is an earnest mouth to suck that ear out, girl.

You know, Im up for most things 'spode, but that just sounds really friggen gross. Now my neck, you can go for it, but I think I will leave the ear suction to the ENT ;)

Did you shake it like a dog coming in from the rain? Only thing that works for me.

Yeah Mon, I did that as soon as it happened and I hopped around like a crazy women....slept that ear facing the pillow. Its blocked like a mo fo now.

I read on the interwebz to use the palm of my hand like a plunger...I could feel it moving but no relief. :(

Ok, I read that as "heating oil".

Insert a drinking straw, light the end of it, and the suction should draw out the water.

Don't burn yourself.

try running backwards naked through a sprinkler and then under a ladder singing The Locomotion.

When the baby wants to sleep: can't even open the garage door at 3:30 am to put a car full of precious music gear in the garage.

When the adult, having gone to sleep at 3:30 am, wants to sleep a little longer at 8 am: there's the screaming baby, screaming baby daddy, and Nora the Fucking Explorer at full volume, and all that's just fine.

Dora

Grow some balls. :eyebrow:

This is where my Jeep is vacationing right now...

Autopsy: Shark killed man who washed up in Kill Devil Hills

Global warming did it.

Just hope that your Jeep doesn't end up sleeping with the fishes! :eek:

One thing about it Jinx...... You'll never feel guilty about asking THEM for favors anymore, eh?

Srsly. I'm not even gonna cut Dennis's nails when they have to babysit him at thanksgiving - and they have carpet and upholstered furniture...

Fixed it for you.

I just found out that a buddy I work with is going to get fired tonight. I can't tell him....and it wouldn't help if I could.....

He's been close a couple times, so I don't think he'll be surprised...it's just that it's a really bad time for him financially, and this is going to kill him.

Well, shit. I was going to complain about something malfunctioning on my bike, but now that seems pretty fucking petty. Nevermind.

Been there. Bad part is when they find out you knew all along and acted like nothing was up all day. At that moment you just can't 'splain it. Even to yourself.

yeah. that buh loooows

My freaking expensive dog ate my freaking expensive (and 2 months old) glasses!
Now we wait to see if she needs a freaking expensive surgery to get the lens we can not find, and assume she ate. If she does need surgery, I will need to borrow the cash, cause hubby was laid off for the summer and has not got a paycheque yet....SIGH

do you have an equivalent of the Humane Society/RSPCA?

here's hoping doggie poops lens..... consider it a new version of rock paper scissors.

doggie poops lens
vet opens doggie
lens makes vet look fat

I am mad about the glasses, but I am more concerned about the dog... sigh...
The Vet I called seems to think we have about an 80% shot she will poop it out. We gave her dog food she is not used to (Boxers have sensitive tummies) and olive oil mixed in and we are going out with her to make sure we are there when/if she goes. As long as she swallowed it whole she should be ok.

give her a nice curry. that should expedite matters!

Adds new meaning to the term"Hindsight's 20/20".

:D

LOL -- really

Okay might be TMI, but have had my "monthly visitor" for two effing weeks now. And I caught a cold on top of it. Can I just curl up in bed til it all blows over?

Sure. I like the curled up position.

I'm going to strangle a classmate. News at eleven.

I'll watch Channel 7, Bri.

Not Juni?
