I saved up my bonus points from my debit card and cashed in my change jar (okay, okay, it's a piggy bank shaped like a baseball, but you know...) and bought a digital camera. I got a Canon A520. So far it's pretty good. Hooooooray! :gosoxretro:

Just don't break it like my parents did in Paris, so you have to use it like a normal camera. OOPS. :lol:

Woke up when Jr. got a phone call and could not fall back asleep :D He was at a local concert where a few of his buddies were performing. So I figured I would get some of this paperwork out of the way.

Yeah, I'm trying to put them in folders by subject so I can find them easily. It's pretty cool.

 

It's amazing how crisp and clean my pictures are. I think the quality is on par with my regular camera ( maybe even my SLR)....

local United Way office realized that it had never received a donation from the town's most successful lawyer.  The person in charge of contributions called him to persuade him to contribute.

 

"Our research shows that out of a yearly income of at least $500,000, you give not a penny to charity. Wouldn't you like to give back to the community in some way?"

 

The lawyer mulled this over for a moment and replied, "First, did your research also show that my mother is dying after a long illness, and has medical bills that are several times her annual income?"

 

Embarrassed, the United Way rep mumbled, "Um. . .  no."

 

" - or that my brother, a disabled veteran, is blind and confined to a wheelchair?" The stricken United Way rep began to stammer out an apology but was interrupted, "

 

" - or that my sister's husband died in a traffic accident," the lawyer's voice rising in indignation, "leaving her penniless with three children?!"

 

The humiliated United Way rep, completely beaten, said simply, "I had no idea..."

 

On a roll, the lawyer cut him off once again: "So if I don't give any money to them, why should I give any to you?!?"

***Dirty Joke***

 

An old man is sitting on the front porch with a beer one day. His grandson comes along and and asks "Can I have some beer?" The grandpa says "Does your dick reach your ass?" Dejected, the child replies "No" and proceeds to walk away.

 

The next day, the old man was sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette. His grandson comes along and and asks "Can I have some of that cigarette?" The grandpa says "Does your dick reach your ass?" Rejected again, the child replies "No" and walks away.

 

So, the next day, the grandpa gos to sit on the porch and see's his grandson sitting there with a cigar. The grandpa asks "Can I get a whiff of that cigar?" The kid asks "Does your dick reach your ass?" Proudly, the grandpa says "Yes, it does." The grandson then get's up and says "Then go f*** yourself!"

My friggin labmate/office partner is going on and on and on about how she's going to join MENSA. Hey good for you! Maybe you'll learn to be less socially inept--oh, wait, no probably not.

 

Woohoo, that's great. More boring, crappy, pointless and condescending conversations about how smart you are. Sweeeeeeeeeet. I can't frigging wait.

 

Days like this make me really, really, really miss my normal and socially competent college and high school friends.

BTW, MENSA members come from all walks of life. Some are actually socially adept and not afraid of the world. The geeks talk about how smart they are.

I understand that MENSA people do many things, but no cool Mensa member would flaunt membership. I think in the context of the lab partner of doom, it's more about being better and smarter than everyone else than anything else. Inherently there's nothing elitist about it, until you get people being jerks about how smart they are....

Exactly. Being smart is grossly over rated. Look at Dubya, Billy Gates, etc.
