That being said, if you purposefully break rules to get RCd, I will purposefully extend your punishment to much longer than you would appreciate. I'm aware it was a joke/light-hearted comment, but I'm posting this as more of a generality.

I understand.

Turk's so holy, he wouldn't know what RC is.

I didn't know what RC stood for until a short while ago when everybody started getting RC'd in Halo 3 Modding section. >_>

I know him as the guy who swears a lot, and makes profane jokes while retaining a certain level of respect, and doesn't like organized religion (not necessarily doesn't like god or is an atheist, but I'm not getting into detail about this). He's getting way to sucked into this myspace crap.
Also, he changes his page to make me happy but when I walk in the door and make jokes with him he ignores me, and just stares at his damn computer screen?
Ok. Makes sense.

I understand he's not very happy right now, as my brother is ignoring him and calling him an **** for ruining his childhood. My dad has is faults, but he is a pretty damn good dad. It's not like he comes after us and beats us up like his father had. It's really just my brother's wife from my personal speculation.
I dunno, just kind of a weird thing to run into.

It honestly feels like he's loosing it. The guy's gone through so much stress over the past 5 years. Brother (my uncle) dying in Iraq, marital problems, my brother disowning him.

I can sympathize...my dad just told me a couple months ago that he's been really depressed for the past 5 or so years, and that he just covers it up...I'm glad he told me, I don't feel like my dad should be feeling bad at all, and it's good that I've talked to him about it. Really, if you take a step forward and just see what's going on, it might make things a lot better.

My father doesn't talk about it. He really doesn't talk a whole lot nowadays, to be honest. I don't know what's going on up there, really.

My dog was tested positive for Parvo. And during inspection, they found out he has worms. AKDJFOIMBW. A total of $930 is what we were charged. Payed half now, and the other half when we pick him up in three days. :/

He got the worms from my damn cats. >_<

Same deal here. He talks about issues on occasion, and rarely talks about how he feels.

I almost feel bad. You know how I said my AC adapter was dead for my laptop? Well they called today to tell me that I was getting a new one tomorrow (how orsm).

The problem was, with telemarketers being so horrible, there were two signs which almost lead me to hang up on him:
-"Out of area". My phone picks up where they are calling from, out of area usually means they are from India or from America telling me I've won a holiday.
-He was American...Don't take this as I'm an anti-American person, its just why the hell would an American call me?

So my finger started pressing the "hangup" button until I heard "AC adapter" and went OH SHIT! And listened to the call:P

God damn router reset itself and now my dad has to take it into work to get it set up. I think I could if I tried but I don't want to even bother asking, he might get frustrated.
