Since you have the picture in your cache, you can see it on your computer. Everyone else just sees text that says "user posted img".

I never saw multi quote either. There was a plus and minus button or something. Never even thought about copy pasteI don't remember ever seeing a "multiquote" button on the old board, just a "quote" button. I think I did it wrong one time and then never really tried again. I just used to hit reply in two or three different tabs and copy/paste.'Early_10 said:Instead of hitting reply, use multiquote. Use it repeatedly and then hit add reply on the bottom of the page and all the multiquotes you picked are in the same reply. I'm sure there's a man here that didn't know how to do it that was embarrassed to ask for help so there it is.'YSR said:'Good said:Jesus.'YSR said:I've never mastered how to do the whole multiple quoting thing.

Fixed.Par for the course with my bad luck.
I get checked in by a girl who looks and more importantly talks like someone straight outta the Russian bride draft."Have a seat right over there sir and someone will be with you shortly."
A minute after sitting down a very cute early 20s brunette comes walking out ready for her next patient.
As I look away briefly I then hear "You must be Brad". I look up to see a 50 (60?) yr old chainsmoker that looks like the landlady from Kingpin. :X
She was nice enough, but whatever.. FML.
On the cost..and I would think most decent sized cities would have this.. I go to a massage school so I am getting a massage from a masseuse who is essentially in training. I suppose there is some variance in the quality but I don’t go enough to really know the difference. If you go regularly somewhere or need a massage for a back or some medical reason, it may not be for you. But I just go for the occasional rubdown from ugly old chicks so i find it cost effective. $30 for an hour or $45 for 90 minutes, and they arent allowed to accept tips. Except sometimes I give them just the tip. Wocka Wocka.
I believe you have mentioned something about wanting to get some strange. I just hope you didn't fall in love with her.

*Not really a bail bondsman
So I'm pretty sure I just found the dumbest person on the face of the earth.
They've been doing a lot of road work in the area around my school. They're putting in new gas or sewer lines or something. Everyday there's a new stretch of road that is closed off.
I leave school on my lunch and come to this intersection about 1/4 mile from my school. I'm heading south and wanting to turn left/east. I get to the signal and there's one car ahead of me in the left turn lane. The green arrow comes up but the car doesn't move. I give it a second and then honk my horn assuming the person just isn't paying attention to the signal. The car still doesn't move so I honk again. This time I can see the driver lift up their hands like "what am I supposed to do?".
Now the street we are both in line to turn on to is being worked on. There are two lanes in either direction and the construction guys have the 2 eastbound lanes blocked off. There's about 10 guys working with a big backhoe thing and one of those mini steamroller type deals. There's also a big "detour" sign directing people who want to head east to use one of the westbound lanes. The two westbound lands have been coned off so that one can be used for eastbound traffic for about 1/2 mile.
So the green arrow turns red while the car in front of me just sits there. I'm not in a huge hurry and I just figure it's not a big deal to wait for the next cycle. So the green arrow comes up again and the car in front of me still doesn't move. I honk again only to have the driver at me again. So now I'm thinking that the person in front of me might be having car trouble. I decide I'll be a good Samaritan and see if she needs any help. Besides she might be a parent of one of our students or something.
I get out of my car and walk up to the driver side door. She sees me coming and rolls down her window. It's a woman about 30. She's driving a brand new white SUV. I ask her "Are you having some trouble with your car?"
Her: (frustrated) No. I just can't go anywhere with those guys in the way.
Me: The construction guys?
Her: Yes! They've got half of the road taken up with their equipment!"
Me:
Um...you know you can still head down that street you just have to use that lane on the left.
Her: No I can't. That's the lane for the people coming the other way!
Me: Oh...actually they've got one of those lanes sectioned off so that you can still head east down th...
Her: THAT IS THE LANE FOR THE PEOPLE COMING THE OTHER WAY!
Me: Yeaaahhhh. You see that detour sign and all of those cones? That means they set it up so you can use the 'other' lane to go that way.
Her: BUT WHAT IF SOMEBODY IS COMING THE OTHER WAY! I DON'T WANT TO GET HIT! THIS IS A NEW CAR!"
I think about saying something else but figure it's not going to do any good. And by that time the light had cycled back to red and almost back to the green arrow.
I just walked back to my car. Then I waited for the light to change, swooped around her, and used the detour lane. She could still be sitting there for all I know.

I'm officially too old for bachelor parties. This weekend the owner of a local bar sent a limo for 8 of us (he actually rode with us from my friend's house to the bar). Despite the owner escort, I got cut off at both the downstairs and upstairs bars at his establishment, spilled an entire table full of drinks on what was apparently a very expensive speaker, and fell UP a flight of stairs. Even though we were being given free drinks, I still ran up an impressive tab buying rounds for people whom I might have annoyed.* My online banking is still catching up with all of the charges from the night, and texts are trickling in from people who I barely know recounting my shenanigans. Without this information I wouldn't know exactly how much of a disaster I was, as all I really have a clear recollection of is dancing with an extremely pretty girl who turned out to be engaged to a guy with no sense of humor.

Ever take a cold shower when you're really drunk? It's kind of a strange sensation.
After a crappy day at work, I had to go to a business networking event last night. Due to the crappy day at work, I decided to use this networking event as an excuse to drink heavily. Plus, I knew almost everyone there so I figured it was ok to allow myself to be over-served since I wouldn't be embarrassing myself to anyone that didn't already know me. I wrote out "CatFish Bill" for my name tag and wore it proudly all night. (I did that for my own amusement, but it ended up being quite the conversation starter) I'm not if sure if people will remember me more because of the "CatFish Bill" name tag or because I ate enough appetizers to feed a small village. They had one appetizer which consisted of almonds and dates wrapped in bacon which tasted like heaven. I was an animal. It was like the booze and food were cocaine and hookers and I was Charlie Sheen.
So I get home and realize that it is very cold in my house. Thermostat didn't seem to be working and there was no hot water. I check my oil tank and see that it reads "EMPTY". Luckily I didn't have my son last night so I didn't have to worry about him freezing to death. And luckily I was drunk, so I thought the whole ordeal kinda seemed cool and that maybe they would make a movie about me surviving the night with no heat. Despite being drunk, I did manage to think ahead and figured it would completely suck to take a cold shower in a freezing house first thing in the morning, so I decided to take my cold shower right now while I was drunk. It was interesting. I challenged myself to see if I could rub one out in these extreme conditions and I failed. The whiskey in my bloodstream and the cold water were too much for me. The shower actually seemed to be sobering me up. So I got out and immediately made myself a drink. I put extra blankets on my bed and turned on a space heater in my bedroom. However, after finishing my drink I then passed out on my couch. I woke up around 4am confused and freezing. Made to my bedroom and got 2 hours of warm sleep.
Oil is being delivered this afternoon so everything should be back to normal. But if any of you ever need any life-survival tips in case you're drunk and run out of oil, just send me a PM, I'm here to help.
