One of the docs, specifically, the facility in general since the threat includes busting his wife out.

I spent a lot of time talking to him the other night, and made my extreme unimportance very clear to him.

The vehicle has been spotted on the property several times, and someone may have seen him in a different vehicle.

I have fine bullet resistant glass, although I'm not solely relying on it.

Don't worry, the police will take care of it as soon as someone is hurt.

Might buy a little time, though. Can't hurt.

I take it there's more evidence for that than rambling?
I like the new carry licences in Montgomery County; they're the same kind of photo-ID card as the Florida ("Good in 22 States--Count 'Em") permit.

The pictures still suck though.

xoxoxoBruce · 05-12-2006, 08:42 PM

If the photo didn't suck, it would be suspect as an official document.

I deal with security for an ISP and I always get calls from people demanding to know why I am trying to hack them.

Then of course the threaten me and tell me they are going to get me and my company kicked off the internet.:p

Ok, you get the phone number from IANA, call an 800 number hit random options and get me, and I am the one hacking you?? wow, that's amazing.

I would love nothing more then to tell these people to stop going to porn sites! and see if the "attacks" stop.

Welcome to the Cellar, John.

Don't you just love the public?

Oy. Of course, you don't get phone numbers from either IANA or ICANN though. It's by a whois query to the registrar that manages your domain.

You really do security? Maybe you should tell them why you're trying hack them . Why are you trying to hack them? :-)

Yup, I've been doing security for about 10 years now.

Of course I am hacking them because I must know what is on their computer! I also want them to call me and complain that's why I make it so easy to find me.

Data. If it happens to be a Powerbook, data and stickers. :-)

This one man will show up at work every full moon. If I see him he will tell me, "there is a full moon tonight." Then I won't see him again until the next full moon or maybe a couple of months will pass and I will see him again. We don't have conversations he just tells me,"the moon is full tonight." I just think or say, Oh it's been a month already? or give him a poker face and say, oh really. I'll look into his eyes. It looks silvery in there but I don't believe in werewolfs. He smiles a twinkly smile and goes about his business.

Flint · 05-19-2006, 03:11 PM

@skysidhe: Are you frickin' serious?!
Or is that a genius bit of fiction?!

Either way, I love it. Silvery eyes!

I am quite serious and it is quite true. I have never mentioned it to anyone. Not family or anyone just because it does sound like fiction. Those kinds of things you just file away under 'strange' To be honest I did embelish with the silvery part. His eyes are blue BUT They do have silvery flecks in them . He seems to be a really nice whenhe tells me there is a full moon. It's in a casual friendly way. He's not trying to be creepy,,......I don't think.

I thought it was a better story than me smashing my finger. Other than that it's pretty hum drum.

[edit- If I could write fiction like that I would become an author. I would have money and a name. Instead I am dumb and I work two jobs. Even if I had the time and energy to make things up I don't have the imagination or the inclination. Magic finds me I don't need to make things up.......jus...sos ya know]
