Just found out a guy I used to teach with and knew very well passed away because of stroke. Getting old sucks.

When my wife was a teen, she got roped into some camping trip run by a "Bible study group", it turned out to be pretty culty. The first night around a campfire she was asked to share some of her views. They didn't meet up with their specific views, so the group leader started loudly wailing and crying, between sobs she said she was crying in sorrow because her soul was damned forever for not accepting their groups beliefs. Immediately everyone else in the group stopped being nice, openly shunned her and told she was a horrible person unless joined them and agreed to their "code of virtues".

People like that give true meaning to the word hypocrite. Preaching the idea to accept others but only if it falls into a preset idea that they have. :banghead:

Yots I'm sorry to hear about your colleague. Getting old is a major pain in the ass.

Why I'm not chuffing along anymore on my renovations:

The contractor that was supposed to replace the main support beam holding up my house has flaked.
Not much has been accomplished in the past month since I can't refinish the floors or hang doors until the beam is done.
And I can't set up furniture or organize rooms until the floors are done.
I know...first world problems, but living in an empty, partially renovated house (indefinitely) sucks.
I've been working with a new contractor, but I get the feeling it's a bit over their head and they might flake too.

The contractors so far keep wanting the structural engineer to allow them to take shortcuts to get the job done faster (using air nailers instead of specialty lag bolts, etc).
Hell I've gone over what needs done so much that I'm fairly confident I could do it myself. I'd have to lay out the money for a bunch of temporary posts I'd only use once though and then there's the fact that if I mess up and the house implodes, homeowners insurance wouldn't cover it.
Hopefully the people I'm working with now can get it done next month.

Well religion is the opium of the masses. The only difference between a cult and regular religion is the intensity of their actions. Just for fun google the Marx quote and you'll find dozens of right wing bloggers trying to re-write history by saying Marx didn't mean it that way. ;)
