Remember when Sweden would not let a couple name their child "Metallica"?

Except I have encountered this name. At the hospital. My wife is a pediatric nurse and sure enough, a patient of hers had this name. I was unaware of the Urban Legend until after encountering this name.

EDIT: I did add the "dash don't be silent" as a nod to this.

Sonofabitch. My wife got taken in by this. I called to confirm it to her, and now she says it was a story from another nurse.

Guess it was just the attack of the legend again.

Just got from using a roof rake to shovel the snow off the roof and noticed that an ice dam on the gutter overlooking the second story had resulted in damage to that gutter.

Oh well. I didn't need that couple of thousand dollars anyway.

Just ignore the problem, that usually makes it go away.

Gutters are really that expensive? Surely some Home Depot money, and a few beers in Scar's favor could make it cheaper?

It's especially useful if you don't really care how much you want to sell it for, but like you said, recoup a little dough.

I would highly recommend not selling on amazon. I just got ripped off to the tune of $180 selling a book on their site. Their marketplace service is terrible especially for sellers.

Yes. And it is directly proportional to your worth as a human being.

I haven't thought about post count since I posted at RT. :lol:

That was back when number8 and myself "battled" for the number one spot. :P

There'll be peace when you are done.
Lay your weary head to rest.

Aw, crap.

I'm dutifully doing my job and I figured out that a very nice co-worker made a huge, monster mistake. I'm fixing it, but it came to light, and I think she might be in trouble. Drat.

Sidebar:

The biggest influence that Facebook has had in my life is the disturbing information that people I have always assumed were normal and innocuous are actually:

1) psychotic
2) illiterate
3) of previously unsuspected political and social views

or, most often

4) boring.

Take this jewel, at the tail-end of a confusing, rambling status update:

I can't wait to see how I've changed after the baby, which by the way is 15 weeks today, and the size of an apple...yummy fruit!!

Yummy.

Fruit.

She's not talking about eating her fetus, is she? IS SHE????

I'm watching this new TLC show called My Strange Addiction and there's a chick on here who eats toilet paper. Pre-wipe, of course, but still...
