No. I did not go around grabbing my user name on every single fly by night website. I think I have been on reddit twice. Whoops 3 times now. I really do not spend much time hanging out on the internet outside of work these days.

Sooooo, the GF and I are looking at possible common domiciles tomorrow. This is soon and fast for me, but her housing is tied to her job and she is leaving her job soon. It's been a few years since I have had anyone living with me on a permanent basis.

I just wish that the company would replace the bathroom toilet paper with something that actually works. Tired of using a roll to wipe my ass.

You really ought to take it off the roll before you wipe. Otherwise you waste a lot of toilet paper.

OK, as permanent as those things get. My buddhist training fully informs me that all is impermanent. I was making the distinction between a formal roomie situation and one where it is just defacto because you are spending each and every night together.

I should find out this afternoon if the doctor is going to make me quit drinking completely and forever. There are some more absolute terms for you. Fun fun fun.

Shouldn't that be "absolut" terms?

No, you have until Winter Solstice (12/21) to annoy all of your astronomer friends with random conspiracy theories about the collision with the planet Nibiru, or odd solar conjunctions, or whatever nonsense you can come up with.
