The Ultimate Vampire Resource and Directory

I was so angry last night when I found this out that I couldn't even post about it....



The back-story:



My aunt (my father's sister) is mentally handicapped. She lives with her husband in an apartment complex with other mentally handicapped people who are capable of living independently.



When my grandfather, who is 91, decided to move to Washington to live with my dad, he allowed my aunt to have control over her finances, provided she relay her expenditures and income to him every week, and keep a check-book. In the past, he was in control of her finances almost completely, and got together with her every weekend to go over them with her.



My grandfather has always been very responsible with money. He never leaves a balance on his credit card at the end of the month.





Okay, so now for the actual story part of this entry:



My granddad decided to cancel his AmEx card. After cancelling, he applied for a different card, and was rejected outright.



Confused, he requested a credit report.



The credit report showed an extremely poor credit-score and a debt of $10,000!!



As it turns out, my aunt took out a loan on a joint account that she and my granddad shared, and never paid it back! She thought if she just cancelled the account, and later changed her phone number, the debt would just disappear.



Almost ten years of failure to make even one payment, and here we are.



My granddad is infuriated, stressed, and devastated, and I can't blame him...



What infuriates me most is the fact that the bank gave a very obviously mentally-handicapped woman a loan for such a significant amount of money and never contacted my grandfather! Surely he should've have been asked for a signature, an approval over the phone, something!



I am just so....angry. I have half a mind to call my aunt up and let her have it. She may be mentally-handicapped, but not so much that she can't also be extremely manipulative and selfish. My poor granddad is far too old to have to deal with all this.

This ... this is ick. Cannot your granddad protest this, fight that it's on HIS report, as only she took out the loan? Or no, because it was based on a joint account?

My Austrian programming instructor strikes again....



"If you just copy my balls onto zeh screen!"

"Zeh balls should be bouncy!"

"As you notice, my balls are deefarent sizes!"





I don't know if this is better or worse than last year when he pronounced the word "pawn" like "porn" whilst rendering a 3-D chess-set.



"Zeh black porn is now downloading."





Good job, Mr. Pietsch. Good job.



P.S. If being "mature" means I can't laugh at things like this, I don't ever want to grow up....

A kind suggestion included in the notes issued by my Networks instructor:



"You can even write a PhD thesis on queueing delays!"



I've never seen a more apt definition of what Hell is...

I love my Toshiba Qosmio laptop. It's an extremely high-performance PC, and I've really had nothing to complain about....until now.



The computer comes with two seperate drives, rather than one drive partitioned into C and D. C is a small 64 GB SSD, with D being a typical disk drive with 640 GB.



This wouldn't be a problem except that all the default programs are installed on C, and new programs by default want to download to C as well. I'm left with less than a gig of space, and a very real problem when I want to download programs which NEED to be installed on C. (I'm looking at you, Eclipse.)



I understand that the OS needs to boot from the faster drive, and that's why they put the drives in the configuration they did, but it really does cause a lot of problems.

If you're apart of drama on VR, or anywhere on the internet, it's because you want to be.



I'm always incredulous when people talk about how much they hate drama on their profiles, yet seem to bask in it on an almost constant basis.



If all the people claimed to abhor it truly did, our administrators would be out of work.



If you don't like drama, you quite simply ignore it. Ignore those who try and involve you in it, don't even allow it to enter your online threshold.



I've been on this site for 5 years, and every time someone initiates something that smells even a little like drama, I use those two magical buttons: Block and Delete Message. It's very simple, and it's served me well.

I hate it when people refer to Crowley as being "just a dog." Why is a dog such a lowly place to be?



My dog isn't "just a" anything. No dog is. He's a family member. A dear companion. Man's best friend.



He is Sifu Canis, The Smelly Guru, M.D. P.h.D.



That's Mr. Dog to you. Or Dog, SIR.

LOL!

As I've said before several times...I hate when negative human traits are identified as being like an animal. Animals behave better than humans!

I am extremely happy that Amanda Knox and Raffaele Sollecito were acquitted. That entire case was nothing but an absolute nightmare.



Now the courts should shift the focus back to Rudy Guede and to finding the truth of what happened that night, or as much of it as can now be extracted from the contamination, corruption, and media hype.
