I think I should go home - tRuMaN Sep 9, 13:38
lyc - tRuMaN Sep 9, 07:57 15
- My ADD won't let me read all of that. I can't stand people who think you need thearpy but they are perfect. It's not sounding good Tru. -- nm - lileve Sep 9, 13:46
- I'm with crash. I have no advice to give, because I honestly have no idea what I'd do. but I'm with you too! -- nm - Jim Sep 9, 10:28
- although its not much, I just want you to know I'm with you come hell or high water. -- nm - crash davis Sep 9, 10:05 1
  - thanks. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 10:08
- That's a heck of a lot ot have to deal with - znufrii Sep 9, 09:17
- Parts of that sound very familiar. - pmb Sep 9, 08:24 6
  - I do plan on the counseling bit, and there are no kids (thank god for that) -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 08:40 5
    - Without kids it is much simpler. - pmb Sep 9, 11:32 2
      - This is excellent. The "failure" aspect is absolutely what drives most people and sticks with them afterward. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 12:31 1
        
        yup. people all too often confuse longevity with success. and vice versa. -- nm - znufrii Sep 9, 12:58
    - Don't mean to be a downer, but "no kids" sometimes means a nastier breakup because you don't have anyone else to consider. -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 08:49 1
      - in this case, I think that is what helped her make her decision - tRuMaN Sep 9, 08:55
- I really feel for you. You're being ripped apart inside. - CrankYanker Sep 9, 08:23 2
  - that was her terminology. - tRuMaN Sep 9, 08:42 1
    - a little levity is needed. -- (link) - CrankYanker Sep 9, 11:01
ooh, the new server is in Atlanta ... heh. Some DNS servers will have the new location in place already, others will take a few more hours. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 07:01 2
- meh, worked fine for me. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 07:58 1
  - My own ISP *still* hasn't updated :( -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 11:17
can we roll that beautiful bean footage? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 9, 06:55
..wait.. why is it slicker talk? -- nm - colin Sep 9, 05:59 4
- it's both slicker talk (rhymes with ticker talk) and slacker talk, for us slackers. both urls take you to the same place. - Andie Sep 9, 06:25 3
  - except now that i actually read, it looks like slickertalk is changing? -- nm - Andie Sep 9, 06:26 2
    - both servers are changing - but only on the back end. Once the change is done, it should be like nothing happened. - Beryllium Sep 9, 06:55 1
      - Once the change is done, it should be like nothing happened? That's NOT what I paid for! -- nm - Transsexual Sep 9, 07:54
If you can see this, you're looking at the new home of slackertalk ... your login and password info should be the same. - Beryllium Sep 9, 00:07 2
- I can see it! -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 9, 00:52
- (oh, and posting is enabled on this server, so you can disregard the messages below) -- nm - Beryllium Sep 9, 00:11
Just so everyone knows, the temporary URL to access the new server (until the DNS updates) is here -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 9, 00:00
okay, the first stage of the changeover is to change slickertalk.com to readonly on the new server - Beryllium Sep 8, 23:37 4
- done. Hopefully the change will take effect within 30 minutes. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 23:42 3
  - ... this is going to take all night. Blah :( -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 23:57 2
    - I should just do it cold-turkey -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 23:57 1
      - k, disabling posting on both servers for a bit -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 23:57
Test -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 8, 22:40 3
- Heh, no changes have been made yet :) the testing is occurring on a separate server for the time being. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 22:51 2
  - Ah, wasn't sure. -- nm - MojaveMeg Sep 8, 22:57
  - *ahem* except for that bit where I shut down the database on the wrong server a minute ago. Oops. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 22:54
erph, now I'm worried that the new server setup might be too underpowered ... well, we'll see. Starting some parts of the transfer now. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 20:53 5
- is it time to panic yet? -- nm - mafic Sep 8, 22:11 4
  - Except I seem to have forgotten my password so I can't test. hah. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 22:30 2
    - oh damn. The conversion might hose password compatibility. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 22:32 1
      - *panics* -- nm - mafic Sep 8, 22:35
  - Nope, it's actually going pretty well so far -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 22:29

its 7pm, I haven't heard anything from my wife, I am wondering if she has just decided to not come home. - tRuMaN Sep 8, 16:59 2
- I'm sure she's ok, but - CrankYanker Sep 8, 22:57
- Damn, man. I'm so sorry. -- nm - Diva Sep 8, 17:36
She tries to justify working moms like her in politics:"having a family keeps you focused on the future, which is the biggest inspiration in politics" - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 16:41 2
- And your point is . . .? - pmb Sep 9, 07:21
- Really? I always thought it anchored you in the present and prevented you from planning ahead for the long term? - Beryllium Sep 8, 17:36
come with me if you want to live -- nm - crash davis Sep 8, 15:23
"...don't make me pound you publicly..." - Diva Sep 8, 15:19
I'm sorry, but this font is bugging me now. -- nm - mara Sep 8, 14:34 5
- gah ... now it's totally bugging ME, too. hah. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:25
- the Verdana stuff? I can work on fixing it when I move servers tonight. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 15:17 2
  - Custom styles! And custom pages for every user! With private messaging... and picture/video upload features... and a calendar. - Raul Sep 8, 15:38 1
    - No. That goes against the mission statement of SlackerTalk. -- nm - Beryllium Sep 8, 16:19
- you should call the reference desk and see if they can fix it for you -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 14:35
Wolves prefer fishing to hunting (I also prefer the taste of salmon to venison, so I might be a wolf) -- (link) - crash davis Sep 8, 13:27 2
- Do you know if they prefer cafeteria seating or full service restaurants? -- nm - Raul Sep 8, 13:46 1
  - they prefer making reservations so the full pack can sit together -- nm - crash davis Sep 8, 13:50
Has the "Bridge to Nowhere" project actually been scrubbed? I thought the earmark was approved. -- nm - Raul Sep 8, 13:18 2
- Ah, Wikipedia... is there anything you don't know? How is Miley Cyrus these days, anyway? (link) -- (link) - Raul Sep 8, 13:45
- palin? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 13:24
Found another beautiful/wonderful place I want to visit, but never will. It's called the Isle of Skye (link) - Raul Sep 8, 12:47
ok st, does anyone know of a good way to find a couple therapist? - tRuMaN Sep 8, 12:31 14
- Maybe ask a friend who's been through this. Frankly, although I know it's difficult, if you can go to therapy on your own as well, I think it's worth - pmb Sep 8, 13:35 5
  - oh this is great, one of the websites I just looked at had a list of interesting things - tRuMaN Sep 8, 13:42 4
    - The story about Tesla's wireless power transmitter was stunning (corrected URL within) -- (link) - Raul Sep 8, 14:02 2

        It looks like they're writing a book I'm sure to buy, and then bore people with for many months afterwards. -- nm - Raul Sep 8, 14:28
    - Xtube.com? Just come out and admit it. It'll get you more patients, not less. -- nm - Raul Sep 8, 13:47
- Are you sure you haven't been to one yet? Think back. -- (link) - CrankYanker Sep 8, 13:34
- can't your family doctor refer you? (also, i'd ask around.) -- nm - Andie Sep 8, 12:50 1
  - I don't have a family doc right now. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 13:26
- Would this be an inappropriate time for a "Your mother" joke? - Raul Sep 8, 12:48 1
  - your mom -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 12:55
- I imagine referrals would be the best. - psilotum Sep 8, 12:46 1
  - since I work 54 miles from where I work, its hard to find referrals - tRuMaN Sep 8, 12:50
- Drphil.com proved useless. Try this page at About.com -- (link) - Raul Sep 8, 12:43

- Yes to All. - znufrii Sep 8, 13:38
- There are some immediate, but temporary positives in a breakup, but I found that, even after being in a relationship with someone else, I still get - CrankYanker Sep 8, 13:37
- I didn't really realize until I started packing to move out how much happier I was going to be with less stuff. -- nm - mara Sep 8, 13:08
- It will be sad, but if you have to start over, I've got three words for you. - crash davis Sep 8, 12:13 1
  - Sure, a red state. Why not? You can never get enough Promise Keepers and Churchies looking down their nose at your heathen self. -- nm - Raul Sep 8, 12:14
- Don't forget (to quote 'The Soup').... "chicks, man!" -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 12:07
Just got my Jeopardy! 25th Anniversary Season e-mail announcement, and I have to wonder: Why not a 25th Anniversary Invitational? - Raul Sep 8, 11:22
sigh. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 11:19
I smell lawsuit! Report erreneously claimed United's parent company UAL had filed for bankruptcy (turns out it was a rehash of a 2002 story). -- (link) - Raul Sep 8, 10:15
crash/will, was that this game? -- (link) - tRuMaN Sep 8, 10:14 9

    - gracias - that was the game -- nm - crash davis Sep 8, 10:30 6
      - I do not remember setting you ablaze with the laser, I guess I should watch the video. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 8, 10:33 5
        
        I get it. You're so good with the laser that you don't even remember all the people you've killed with it. Don't rub it in. - Raul Sep 8, 11:33 2
        
        Halo side story: Played with a level 45 this weekend who said I drive very well. - Raul Sep 8, 12:25

        You did. I said, The gunner is still alive. You shot him, "Not anymore" -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 8, 11:30 1
        
        the gunner ruined team communications by laughing hysterically for about three minutes straight -- nm - crash davis Sep 8, 11:54

- I went through five jobs and one marriage. Coming Soon: Little Vermins! - Dr.Vermin Sep 8, 12:02 1
  - ...that you know of. -- nm - Raul Sep 8, 12:14
- "Most," really? -- nm - mara Sep 8, 11:18
- I think the only situation that hasn't been part of the "growing up" is incarceration? -- nm - CrankYanker Sep 8, 10:15 1
  - There's been one or two. And "passings", too. -- nm - Raul Sep 8, 10:19
- I think I started on tt about 12 years ago, so I was in college when I started - tRuMaN Sep 8, 10:12 3
