Double this. Haven't used them (I do wear glasses, just not up for a new prescription for a while) but I've heard great things and will definitely look into them myself next time I'm due.

    Re: What (besides politics) irritates you?

    Just a ton of shit piling up all at once...basement flooded less than a week after buying our new house, so I'm trying to coordinate with contractors and the insurance adjuster, and of course I'm getting absolutely boned at work with this ridiculously large document review project. And I have a guaranteed hangover coming my way for Friday because our biggest client-facing event is this Thursday and it's always a shitshow.

    Meh. sometimes there's truth to it. My gf's sorority (chi omega) got kicked for hazing.

    Long story short, a pledge lost her virginity to a frat guy (my frat). Then went back for more for a month or so. She was super churchy though and confessed to her mom how she had premarital sex. Mom went ballistic and convinced daughter that she was raped. Made daughter drop out of school and stay home. Filed rape charges. Sued the sorority because they allowed it to happen at a party. Girl spilled beans on rituals. Said they forced her in a coffin and other stuff.

    Sorority denied everything. Frat guy said he was innocent.

    Rape charges obviously ended up being dropped but not before ruining his life. Sorority got kicked for hazing. It was all on some talk shows for a bit and a book or two.

    The coffin (was totally real) ended up at the sig ep west house for safe keeping.

    Helpful tip, bake in weight not volume. Depending on how heavy or light handed you are with scooping ingredients it can make a huge difference in your bakes.

    Local news. Holy fuck, the meteorologies have zero fucking personality, the "jokes" the talent tells are absolutely horrendous, and the news is old. It's 1030pm, do you really need to tell me what happened on Jimmy Kimmel 23 hours ago? No. You do not. The entire broadcast is embarrassing.

    And now we found out today that our landlord is going to be a god damn asshole and is withholding $500 of our security deposit. I'm ready to blow a fucking gasket today.

    Bummer.

    I love one of our local, prime-time meteorologists. Great personality and sense of humor. He even goes on one of the local radio stations and "slow jams" the weather, which is usually pretty funny.

    Putting someone in a coffin is definitely hazing.

    Is your insurance is going to cover your basement? Or did you get flood insurance? I know most don't cover below surface/non-living areas. At least that's what I got fucked with when it happened to me.

    Don't know yet, the adjuster is coming out tomorrow at 8 a.m. so I'll have a better idea of it then. I just read every letter of our policy and it seems as though any water damage is explicitly excluded from coverage. So I don't have a good feeling about coverage.

    I mean, what's the fucking point of having insurance if they aren't going to cover this type of shit? What a scam, you're forced to have home insurance by the state and then when you suffer a significant loss, sorry, you're shit out of luck. What a fucking racket.

    I knew all this going in, I deal with adjusters a lot for my work (in a different context), and I know how the claw tooth and nail to deny coverage.

    I wore a "keep calm and eat cookies" shirt yesterday because it has a picture of Cookie Monster on it and cookies rock.

    I mean, what's the fucking point of having insurance if they aren't going to cover this type of shit? What a scam, you're forced to have home insurance by the state and then when you suffer a significant loss, sorry, you're shit out of luck. What a fucking racket.

    I knew all this going in, I deal with adjusters a lot for my work (in a different context), and I know how the claw tooth and nail to deny coverage.
    Sorry to hear. Insurance companies are in the money making business, not the insurance business. I get to deal with them all the time too as adversaries. It sucks.

    Is that video still on YouTube? That was so bad. Wasn't 41Step a part of that band too?
