Prying eyes are everywhere, from pesky younger siblings to the Patriot Act. What steps do you take to protect your privacy, on or offline? View other answers Be completely boring... But since that time I've also passed Federal Government background checks. All thanks to my terminal blandness. Make information pedestrian in nature and nobody will give it even a first glance

To avoid holiday rush, I decided to get my passport with at least 2-months advance, pending confirmation from Nicci about her vacations (if not the actual dates, which are still pending). So, being careful...a Draw! Magazine compilation I took with me and now I'm the proud holder of a 3-year passport. One big document done, just one left to go: my actual plane tickets, and I'll be all set up for Germany..

Went yesterday to get myself a copy of my work contract from the univeristy main building so I could apply for a bank account, say that I am staying here to the officials and getting the bus pass with...apartment to make it more habitable and I think I have to cave in and head off to Ikea tomorrow :D Only ~1.5 weeks left and I am off to Paris then to see my princess and do all the smoochyschoo with her

Misc thoughts from past several days: 1. Who takes cash vs credit card vs check. For a long time, there was a trend for businesses away from accepting checks. I know I prefer not to - credit cards,...stupid? I'm a 52-year old full colonel, for goodness sake, I'm not gonna do that." I think they were looking for basic concept of physical fitness, so just allowed as to how I could do such a thing.

It's been a quiet couple of weeks or so. Duncan has been growing like nobody's business; he's already out of his first set of clothes, so we've bought him some new ones, 3-6 months range. Shopping... and last year I failed miserably, even without all the extra responsibilities I have now. Unless that complete and utter discombobulation actually stirs up something coherent at the last moment..

Seriously twice someone has specifically asked for me to work with the kids I know and love and help, and becuase of bureaucracy I remain "casual" you cant get hired, actually you can't even apply for a position if you are not at least "Long Term Occasional" The...

I'm just sitting here trying to make sense of the letter I received today from Bath & North East Somerset council's Student Finance department. You see, when I started my teacher training course a month...to make money without really doing much work is to be a contestant on television's Deal or No Deal . Penny did just that today, and decided to accept a rather-stingy-if-you-ask-me offer of £5500.

I am moving in today then at 19h to my new place and I am then one big step closer of settling in here :) Took care of the registration process to the univeristy today and the contract signing on Monday...speak any English really. Instead of them being really rude I felt that they were a bit shamed of not knowing proper or even basic English, maybe I should try to embarass people in the future too :

I found this floating about on the internet. Back in 1990, the Government seized the Mustang Ranch brothel in Nevada for tax evasion and, as required by law, tried to run it. They failed and it...the economy of our country to a pack of nit-wits who couldn’t make money running a whore house and selling booze. Originally published at Free Spirit Mind .

Вчера гонял в Протву заниматься музицированием. Уже при отЪезде из Калуги встретил первое препятствие в виде кассира РЖД. Женщина не расслышала мою просьбу пробить студенческий до Обнинска и пробила...должны придти монтажники подключать билайновское оптоволокно. Минус в том, что Анна позвала в пиццерию к 3м, а монтажники прибудут к 5ти. Придется как всегда разрываться ;( Примерно так :)
