huh? why would their pockets get greased unless they were benefiting the person in office in some way or another?

Agreed, simple as that...tradition.

How dare you. In Murica we need our fireworks. They inspire all.

Lost my phone last night downtown while I drunkenly stumbled across the city for fourth of July, and a hippie guitarist found it and called my mom. I'm going to retrieve it right now and smoke him out for my reward. I think that's a great reward if you ask me.

A great reward indeed. I would not be complaining and I bet he won't either.

Setting up my new place today. I'm so grateful that my accommodation problems have been resolved. There's lots of planning for furniture and goods. Calculated it today and probably will costs around $3000. Since I've got better income now it won't be a big problem, just tedious. Will chill out with lots of beers today and celebrate. Cheers. :beer:

I'm glad to hear it Rjinn! Congratulations! :)

Good stuff, Rjinn, enjoy your new place :)

Thanks guys, it's definitely a relief. :)

Nice grats on your new place.

I messed up last night and had too many things running at the same time. So the wattage cap they placed on the whole building got tripped but only my apt. was affected. I lost power and called the compqny to send a guy out to look at it after toying with the breaker myself. Decided to sleep over at a friends place since it's too hot to be in a place with no electricity

I have been sick all night and slept about two hours. It is currently 5:30.

Illness is hell on earth, I'm tellin ya. :(
