    So, I got online to pay my credit card bill, and logged into my back account so i could pay it online. No big right? Well I pull up my account summary it shows a zero balance, leading me to flip my shit, because I KNOW there is enough money in the account for me to live off of for 2 months, 3 if i live off ramen noodles and cancel my internet and cable.

    Turns out it was a blonde moment. As my computer was logging in, I accidentally pulled out my ethernet cable, so it was disconnected.

    Thankfully, when i reconnected my internet and logged in again, the proper balance was shown and I could pay my bill.

    FUCK HAVING RESPONSIBILITIES LIKE BILLS AND SHIT.

    I want a kitty.

    And yes, I am aware I epic failed. :bang:

    She's a girl. Add to that she hasn't a habit of engaging in epic fail and it equals cute. You, on the other hand, have neither of those things going for you, Dinkynoo.

    We are not all ruthless.

    In my case, Ruth has just gone away for a while. She'll be back.


    EDIT: Though, come to think of it, Volpone might be. I heard that his girfriend Ruth fell off his motorcycle one day and he didn't even stop. He just drove on Ruthlessly...

    Yeah life is pretty much a downhill slide from birth. The first tragic milestone coming when barfing on people and crapping yourself is no longer considered socially acceptable.

    Can life sans internet and cable truly be considered living?

    Accidentally disconnecting yourself from the internet happens to everybody at one time or another regardless of age or hair color.

    Amen

    Wait....How does pulling a cable out of a wall make your account show zero?

    If we add extra cables will that increase the account? :unsure:

    Have you used a conveyor belt yet?

    I find that "adulthood" is something you can embrace piecemeal, but paying bills doesn't seem to be one of the optional parts.

    I love being an adult. Give me a bill to pay over some forgetable schoolpaper to write any day.

    Work stays at work and doesn't haunt me into the evenings, weekends, holidays - not like homework always did. My time is my time.

    And you can eat anything you want for breakfast.

    I'm having soup and an ice cream float. :P

    I like some things about being an adult, and dislike others. We'll be happiest if we simply try to be happy with life at whatever stage we're in. :)

    The best thing about being an adult is the times when you get to act like a child and no one can tell you you can't.

    Granted about the only think I've figured where that applies is that you can have pie and a bowl of ice cream and call it "dinner", but at least there's that.

    Oh, and if you really want that new Hot Wheels car at the checkout, you can just buy it.

    Some parts of being an adult are awesome. Some parts are really brutal.

    That said, you couldn't pay me enough to be a teenager again.

    I loved being a teenager. Old enough to do ... mostly what I wanted and didn't have to worry about life's responsibilities. The toughest decision was what to wear on a Friday night.

    I'm 21, so still too young to be really cynical, but not too young to absolutely scare the shit out of myself.

    If it's any consolation, I'm 53 and paying the bills scares the shit out of me.
