*drunkramblings.txt follows*

Buying a house is a royal pain in the ass. In addition to them rubbergloving your bank and credit reports, you need to figure out what type of flooring\countertops\paint you need as well as new furniture and who to give the keys to the ~~personal arcade with pool table, three upright M.A.M.E cabinets, one cocktail (LOL) table M.A.M.E box and bar~~ garage to and how to move it all up there with minimal work time outage. Counterpoint is that it'll beat the everlovin'fuck outta renting so I guess it's not all that bad.

HOA CC&Rs can suck it. That is all.

"Cybercriminals post an ad on a job board. Successful job applicants are "hired" or asked to complete a trial project. Scam operators wire stolen money to the applicant's credit card and applicants are asked to purchase such goods as expensive electronics. The applicant ships the goods, often to Eastern Europe, where scam operators sell them. Applicants end up with neither a job nor a paycheck."

Most of you are smrt enough not to fall for a scam; but just the same:

"These operations are recruiting large numbers of Americans, experts say, and often go to great lengths to appear legitimate. Advanta's Web site, for example, showed it used some of the same language as a legitimate Japanese transport company, according to bobbear, and listed offices in Copenhagen, New York, London, and Hong Kong. The networking site Linked-In had a profile of David A. Maeweather, who is listed as the company's special projects supervisor."

any bullshitometers probably need the batteries replaced.

Further bullshit against spanking
Spanking because less and less effective with further use? Really?

You must be doing it wrong.

Novice · « **Reply #4862 on:** April 12, 2010, 01:23:32 PM »

The only reason it became less effective on me is because it just stopped stinging as much. Of course, you gotta keep up appearances as long as you can.

12AX7 · « **Reply #4863 on:** April 12, 2010, 01:29:50 PM »

Probably no consistency. Without consistency, there's no way to know WHAT actions may get you a spanking - or more probable; what actions you may be able to get away with.
That and an explanation. Kids are like animals; if they arent certain WHY you just punished them, all you do is scare them and foster mistrust. If they know WHY they are being punished; they relate the punishment to the reason; not to an 'unpredictable' parent- which goes back to consistency.

That was what I was getting at.

The point is that scammers are now using jobs as bait; on real job sites. That's something several people here have had to do (find a job) recently.

It also makes note of how they "go to great lengths to appear legitimate".

I have one of those. I have to turn it completely off when I get on the interstate though, or else the constant beeping keeps me awake.

Yeah, I totally get that part. The part where the warning bells go off is where any "potential employer" asking me to buy something and ship it somewhere else ON MY OWN CREDIT CARD (regardless of whether they tell me they're wiring an advance onto my card). I don't understand how that doesn't scream "totally shady".

We wouldn't want to keep you awake when you get on the interstate or anything.

I know. I was wondering why the hell she let her picture be taken and her personal story told, lol. I would have just said "A friend of mine..." rather than

That doesn't sound near as implausible or reek of urban legend the way "some" of your previous posts have. Congrats on making progress
