  I may end up buying that album just for the cover art alone.

  Hey all, I haven't posted in quite a while. Life has been quite interesting over the last few months. A couple of you may know that my marriage has gone for shit. When I started to suspect something wasn't right, I looked into it. She had purchased a set of ice skates and had been going to ball hockey with her best friend's husband. Generally, her spending a bit of time didn't bother me, but to have these new-found interests that were contributing to her (already) lack of attention to me and our son? Something was up. I knew it was. I've been through this kind of thing before. Drastic changes in a marriage mate are tell-tale signs that something's going on.

  She gave me one of her passwords once for something, and i figured I'd see if I could find anything in her email. Now, when you go into your wife's private emails, you're supposed to come out feeling guilty for invading her privacy because you didn't find anything. Not the case here. I found emails about her putting her tongue on her friend's husbands... well, I don't need to get into detail. It was digusting. I also found emails of how they were both sneaking around on their respective mates (me and her friend) and how she was planning to start a new life with this guy.

  The good thing is I caught this quite early. As far as I can tell, I found out about all of this about 10 days after it started. But the damage was done. I decided to end it, but knew I had to be cautious. Before I said or did anything, I made contact with a lawyer and got some legal advice. I decided not to confront her about the cheating and instead used that as validation that she wanted out of the marriage, as I did too. Eleven days after I found out (and it was a VERY trying 11 days) I ended it. During those 11 days, I had to take our son to the hospital - the SAME hospital where she was visiting her sick boyfriend. The night I ended the relationship, she had him over while I had my usual Saturday night out. I came home to his laundry in my washing machine and my computer having been tampered with. Enough was enough, and that was the night I ended it.

  She's moved out now and the seperation agreement is signed. We are splitting time with our son down the middle (although my new girlfriend has pointed out it's more like 60/40 in my favor). What a ride. I'm never getting married again.

  As a side note, her boyfriend's ex wife is still friends with me. We have yet to go out for coffee, and I have yet to show her the screenshots of the emails.

  I think the most recent album that I've been enjoying is Travis - Ode to J. Smith which came out in '08.

  I absolutely love the first song:

  When did the JWs start admitting that Paradise Erf is going to suck ass? Not much to live for: No internet, no TV, no meat, no practical jokes. Just gardening and petting lions.

  I miss my Tandy TRS-80 Color Computer 2

  by garyneal in

  was reminiscing with a friend on facebook about our past and the thread concerning windows 7 got me thinking about the hours i spent writing programs for my trash 80 computer.

  any other nerds like me who miss the old hardware?.

  or does anyone miss anything from their younger days (not necessarily computers)?.

  I loved the heck out of my C-64. I spent hours writing programs. It also had better color, better graphics, and better sound than the XT which sat in the other room collecting dust. I've since replaced the C-64 with a C-128 which I still occasionally pull out to play with.

  My first computer was a TRS-80 Model I. I've also owned the Commodore Vic20, and the Coleco Adam which was a cool machine, even though it was pretty buggy.

  I actually got into the habit of collecting old computers. I've got a bunch of old apple computers, a TI99, and a couple of pocket computers which look like calculators, but are fully programmable in BASIC.

  As for BBSes, I ran one and I've been debating putting it back up via telnet.

  Does Anyone Like the New Songbook?

  by metatron in

  1. jw
  2. friends

  i'll try not to be 'knee-jerk' critical about this subject but do any witnesses like the new songbook?

  ok, they got rid of some awful lyrics about molesting bees - and downsized references to the ever redundant jesus - but the music itself sounds like forced piano practice.

  trying to sing these slow, pedantic tunes is awkward and painful.. i haven't seen any witness e-mails about this 'wonderful provision from jehovah' and his faithful hacks, so i wonder if the rank and file aren't enthused either.

  I've heard them a bit. I think it's worthy of noting that the old ones were played on a real piano. The new ones are played on a synthesized piano.

  I've always preferred the sound of a real piano.

  Blue Oyster Cult- On Your Feet Or On Your Knees

  Kix- Live

  A lot of people would probably choose BOC's Extraterrestrial Live instead. I don't know why I like that one, probably because of the crazy guitar work and the absence of all their biggest hits.
