I haven't said fuck all about her in years, yet she keeps saying crap like that. Is it ironic or stupid that she shows she is unjustifiably angry to make the point thst she is not your unjustifiably angry friend?

Good attempt to demonstrate unjustifiably angry. Gold star. (Maybe my important moderator status here makes me seem like a bit of an authority figure to you?)

NO BICKERING! That is for both of you. It's just easier to reply to the one who is not on ignore.

She is aware that she is angry all the time, and she is seeing a therapist as of a couple weeks ago. She has discussed the anger thing with me but attributes it to things that make no sense (to me) and she complains about/is angry about things that are not, to me, rational things to get that bent out of shape about -- which I have ventured, mildly, but that does NOT go over well.

Given that your job involves helping people solve their problems, maybe you should just not get involved outside work? I'm afraid you'll burn yourself out from being able to care otherwise. A carpenter's roof is supposed to leak.

Yeah, whatever, fuck off. You just want me not to have friends so I'll be desperate enough to take you off ignore.

If you define relevance as having mass appeal, rather than catering to a niche market, hockey was never relevant like baseball or football here. It's only relevant in Canada and parts of Europe.

Uh.....and Minnesota. The Great State of Hockey! But maybe we're just South Manitoba.

Yummy.

And Maine. They are nuts for UMaine and just south of Quebec.

And Boston during the Bean Pot. Now that the Bruins suck, college hockey gets all the attention.

The Mantis roller coaster at Cedar Point amusement park in Sandusky, Ohio was originally supposed to be named "Banshee" upon its debut in 1996. After realizing the negative meaning of the word, park executives decided to change the name and destroyed all promotional items containing the "Banshee" name.
Banshee was used as a name for a General Motors series of show cars for its Pontiac Division, the first appearing in 1966. Reportedly, the name was to be used on the Pontiac Firebird, but GM executives thought better of using a name meaning a "screaming spirit of death" on one its products.
Shape Shifter originally was going to choose the sock name "Banshee" when he registered. He changed to SS, when he realized a banshee is a female spirit, and he wanted to start out with his "slave stories" which required a male voice.

Off my corner, ho.

Studies show that the accounts of people who move their money around in a 401(k) regularly significantly underperform the accounts of those who leave their money alone other than for periodic, planned adjustments.

No shit. The media's desperately looking for a story.

They sooooo want a huge crash in the housing market and they just can't seem to get it.

The media blends all the housing markets together to give the picture the whole market is tanking, rather than correcting modestly in some areas, going up in others, holding steady in still others and being dragged down in some volatile markets.

I'd like to see Toll Bros or Ryan Homes sue the financial networks. I mean, the media's out there manuevering facts in such a way that they imply a situation that is not real, and is damaging companies.

The clear intent is to create crises to increase viewership, which satisfies a per se defamation standard.

ETA: I am a tool.

Anecdotal evidence supports this as well.

I bought Gary Winnick a few dinners and still feel too stupid to ever go back.
