I work in a residential facility of nine apartment buildings on a golf course and spend much of my day walking around annoying the patients. Many stray cats live on the golf course and come around mooching at night. They are almost all feral and impossible to tame. We know them all and the patients have names for them. Today, a cat I've never seen before starting following me around from building to building. I'd go in one for a hour or so and he'd be waiting for me outside the door of whatever apartment I'd been in and follow to the next one. I go in the office and he'd be waiting outside again and start meowing whenever I appeared. He must know a sucker when he sees one…

Happy birthday Chris!

To our fellow canadians who have shipped to the states - what is your experience regarding shipping carriers and our borders in assessing import/duty fees? I picked up a mapletree used on audiogon and would like some info on how to avoid them if it is an issue.

Have a good one!

I nominate Filburt and JBLoudG20, n_mahler, AND POSTJACK!!! because they are particularly cool.

What have been your experiences selling on Audiogon? Appreciate any feedback, thanks.

I got lucky this year. Along with bathroom towels and a matching rug (gotta love mom), I got: and a big surprise: Anyone else get some good music or toys?

Happy Birthday and have a great one!

Merry Christmas Folks!!!

I hope to never see my sister-in-law ever again. She continues to fuck up any holiday she attends. She has no common sense, says tasteless and rude things to family, and continues to think things are just fine. She is a complete bitch idiot. If I could only It will really shake things up, but my goal for Christmas 2008 is to have a Christmas without her. I don't think I'm alone, judging from the comments from the rest of the family. So, anyone have a special someone who is similar?

Happy Birthday, Ken!

Any suggestions on how to properly clean out a battery compartment that had a minor battery leak? There's not much residue, but was curious what my best options are.

I'm Nenso on Head-fi. Hi... I dunno what to say.. I expect a warm welcome

So last night I went to my wife's office Christmas party. There I met her supervisor and the supervisor's husband who also works there....yeah, he and his wife work together. Turns out she was his assistant until she got pregnant....then she was promoted and became his wife. ANYWAY.... the husband is quite possibly the biggest douchebag I've ever met...nay, he's a meta-douchebag. He is the douchebag from which all other douchebags are determined. Everything he said was awful, awful to his wife, awful to his mother (who owns the company), awful to other coworkers (not my wife though she she doesn't work for him). After the evening was through I thought o…

So a few days back all of my analog channels up and vanished leaving me with only the digital channels. I thought perhaps the cable was just screwy with the weather but now it has been a few days. I know in a few years that they have to go all digital but this does not appear to be a step in that direction as the channels I lost are not back in digital form. Any ideas? Cable people are worthless here.

Someone want to check if mjg and billy share the same ip's please?

I got home about an hour ago from work - after driving for 6 hours in snow. I work 38 miles from my place. I hate fucking snow.

So, this happened on a different headphone forum to go unamed... I've been looking pretty hard for an RS1 for a while..And I see one pop up so I immediately shoot the guy a PM saying I definately want them. Explain how hard I've been looking for them and so on. So, he replies with his Paypal address. I shoot him one back saying I'm waiting on a refund to come back into my account and if he would mind waiting for me to send the payment until tomorrow. (This whole time I'm talking to a friend of mine from the same site over AIM..he's been trying to help me find an RS1 also.) So the friend I'm talking to says he'll lend me the money to just pay in full tonight, so the sel…

Trying to get it to the front page on digg

I think it's time to retire my crappy digital watch, so after some light research it seems an Omega should be a decent middle ground watch for the mean time. But I still don't know much about its movement, and I don't really want to start poking around on watch forums Is it possible to get an Omega (basic stainless steel) for around $1300 new, preferably from an AD? How frequently will they need to be serviced? How durable is the watch face? I should add, that I prefer a conservative look, one that will go well with slacks/shirt and tie, scrubs, jeans, etc. Any other recommendations or advice about these watches or any others in my price range? Thanks guys.
