      There is a minimum delivery charge snag when you try to order it online. So I checked the terms and conditions, and rang them up and basically didn't get off the phone until a pizza was on the way. I have to give a nominal delivery fee when the guy gets here. Fair enough.

        There have been a few people who have not had internet over the past few days in different areas on different days.
        something odd alright I can't find anywhere that a cable was dug up between here and the exchange.
        I'll be standing outside the exchange when the boys roll up in the morning so they'll have to postpone their arsing around reading the sun until they get to work on my line.

            Didn't really explain how some of them managed to lose so much money, like $100 million+.

            Didn't realise making your own smoothies could work out so cheap - picked up a cheap-ass blender for €10 and then about five days worth of fruit costs €5 (can't imagine it'd be that much more expensive anywhere else really). Just sticking to strawberry, orange and banana smoothies for this week, but they taste amazing. Works out as an excellent breakfast or snack. Five-a-day ftw!
            I always feel fairly sh1t after a smoothie, don't think they agree with me.
            It'd be nice if that plan would work for me but I doubt it. :-/

                    Brag: Just had one of those free pizza hut pizzas (thank you Mexico).

                    Beat: Not that hungry after having dinner earlier.

                    Variance: Pizza wasnt all that hot.

                      They probably made them just before the last France match.

                        Indeed. Apres match eases the pain though.

Get it in with middle set last 150 for the top ten stack of the 60k on Stars-up against a middler,bare middler. And I know,KNOW,as in genuinly fucking KNOW I will never fade that ten. Not in this life,thats just poker for me.

                                                                                  Im not sure why poker hates me,like actually LOATHES me. I certainly play badly a good bit of the time but the demented beats (that I actually can feel are coming,yeah like the old fish in yout live game who says "lol I could feel it") I actually do,they just never end.

Its freaky,like pokers some weird torturing entity that wants me to know one million percent Im not supposed to be invloved with it. Not a logical way to think about the pokes,especially after playing for years but thats how I roll poker,your horrible horrible creature.

They seem to say that getting cancer / losing your job is a good thing as it will make you a better person etc.

                                                                                                                          Why not set yourself a challenge? Monitor your thoughts over the weekend. Any time you feel you are thinking negatively, completely *ignore* that train of thought. Don't try to refute it, just ignore it.

                                                                                                                          Instead, think about something you like, or are looking forward to, or whatever works. This is actually quite difficult in practise, requiring a lot of dicipline, but stick with it and note the cumulative effect on your mood.

                                                                                                                          Start each day with 30 minutes of *really* actively thinking positively and then follow it through during the day.

                                                                                                                          See if you still feel the same way on monday.

                                                                                                                          This is an interesting project for anyone. Don't expect to get it perfect. The effects are subtle at first, but very real.

                                                                                                                          Good luck & have a good weekend.
