Well they intended to send a message and they accomplished it. I wonder how deep the investigation will go to find out how this happened. I read that there have been 2 other murders in that prison this year too. You have to think a high profile incident like this will shine a little light on how things are run there. Then again, maybe not

Looking at the DNA one again I guarantee that most people will mistake it for a cool set of shades or a bikini top

At the risk of sounding like a cantankerous old man, how is that after, what, 6,000 years of civilization we are going back to pictograms? That's taking "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" a tad too far.

Some days you just want to come home and drink the chocolate syrup straight out of the bottle.
Woke up at 4:00 am and went into the bathroom, only to discover there was no water whatsoever.
Which made getting ready for work interesting...
Then a freak wind gust blew the wreath off my door and halfway down the breezeway and scared my dog.
My apartment complex just changed management companies, and let's just say communication is not their thing. They didn't tell us our trash pickup was suspended for two days (we set it out five nights a week). My neighbors are already Sanford & Son when trash is picked up regularly...
There's a new online portal for rent payments and they didn't give us all the info we needed to register properly. Then we get a notice from a different company for water/sewer when we weren't notified it would be changing. I called the office and they said it wasn't going to take effect until January. But for this month we have to find our paper bill from the old company, add it to the rent amount, and write a check, because the new portal doesn't support filling in a different amount. A check? Do I even still have those?? (yes... somewhere....)
Then we get an email today that there is a new trash pickup service and we'd be getting yet another trashcan that we have to use when we already have one.
At least the water is back on now, so I get the joy of hearing all the air in the pipes...

Im going to f***ing murder someone.
This was a four year nightmare and it's much worse this time.
Amusing little story from our weekend in Boston. On the Sunday night we were walking back from North Street Station down the little covered tunnel that brings you onto Causeway St when out of the corner of my eye I saw a huge ******* rat within a few feet of us! To say it caught me by surprise would be putting it lightly and I did a "oh Jesus" while jumping back. My wife meanwhile never spotted it so didn't react at all. About 3 seconds before I did my little dance a couple had just turned from Causeway St into the little tunnel and saw me shrieking and jumping in the general direction of my wife while said wife didn't break stride and just continued walking.
Well jaysus the other couple got a great kick out of it, especially the female half of the couple who was practically bent over at the knees in laughter. Now I didn't know she had seen my reaction so thought (hoped) maybe they were just laughing amongst themselves. Not so lucky. As we approached them she shouts out "easy to see who the man in your relationship is" at which point all we could all do was break out in fits of laughter. I had just gotten my balls perfectly bust by a complete stranger. Needless to say my wife has been getting great milage out of it for the past week.
Man I really do love Boston.

Last night it took me 25 minutes to get from Inman Sq to Union on Prospect St and the main reason can be traced to problems at Sullivan Sq. Plus they plan to close Washington St in Somerville for 6 months because of the new Green Line.
When that casino opens were are going to see traffic jams unlike any we have ever seen before. Encore is expecting 50,000 visitors a day during the week and 100,000 on weekends plus all the employees - and everyone has to use route 99.

I would be surprised if anyone on this forum lives closer to that rotary than me. It's a nightmare every day, and you can't get out of Everett in any direction on a Saturday starting at 10 am. The casino is going to make an impossible problem ten times worse.
