Has anyone noticed how most of the people who use a picture of themselves as their avatar are usually females under 45?
Nah, I haven't. But I'm sure it is true :) Mine is a picture of a super handsome boy that I fell in love with and wish I could call my own ;)

Television, or the watching of it, is very often a face-palm worthy experience. A commercial this afternoon had me shaking my head at the falsehood and blatant misrepresentation it was pushing.

Rebate shopping. Getting cash back for spending money at a merchant. Somehow, the paid spokespeople tout it as "I get paid to shop"

NO YOU DON'T!!!!!!!!!

If you shop at a place that gives 10% cash back, and spend $100 at the store, you are still IN THE HOLE by $90. You aren't "making money", you are merely spending less.

GAH!!!!

So it should really be "Paid to buy" :rolleyes: Or they can just be normal and call it a 10% off sale. -_-

Mine is of my baby girl now. I recently changed it because random men kept PMing and making me make this face:

Yeah, we'll see if I get any now. Honestly, though, it never happened until like last week, then I had three of them and I was wondering what the heck was going on. I actually sort of offended the first one or something, and have suspected that maybe the second one was really him trying to see if I was like that with all creepy men.

...makes me so glad I've grown past trying to run game on young girls.


*no, I've never run game on young girls. That was my inappropriate humor coming out. Put down your pitchforks*

I have definitely felt that way too!!! Ugh! :( This is why I don't share pictures of myself on most forums and social sites, and sometimes I still get creepy messages from guys.

We have snow. And I have a car with ABS disabled, which means it can slide when you lock the brakes. And I'm going to have fun today. That is all.

No wait, that is not all.

:D :D :D :D :D

Now that is all.

In reality, ABS or not it is easy to end up sliding on packed snow and ice. ABS reduces the likelihood of sliding on snow and ice but far from eliminates it.

So, watch what you jokingly predict about the weather with your students as it might possibly come true.
