It would look good on his resume, and a good grade would help him get into veterinary school. You know, so I can spend more money that I don't have.

Sounds like a win-win situation to me. Not necessarily a win-win situation for you, but I can live with that.

I am getting really annoyed that you people keep encouraging me to be a good husband and parent and not telling me to spend that money on blackjack, hookers and cocaine.

It's not as fun as you'd like it to be but I'll strive to be a worse influence on you in the future.

I had no idea you were into writing. What do you write fics about?

Cheesy ass cartoon ship fics. What began as a fit of spite became a hobby.

I can Jimmy a door and hot wire a car in under 5 minutes.

Confused electrical engineer/car thief: Wrapped motor vehicle in trace heating cable after being told to hot wire it.

So I am in a not so good mood today. The reason being the furnace wasn't running properly, it would only stay on for about 30 seconds, so my mom called my uncle who used to work in heating and air conditioning and stuff. We put in a new nozzle, and a new electrode, we cleaned the chimney at the bottom near the furnace which was full of soot, including a fucking brick, and we made sure the cords were running at 10K volts, and it still won't stay on. His analysis is it's the aquistate, but we just put a new one in less than 7 months ago, and those cost about 1,000 dollars, so now we don't know what to do.

10k volts? We run subways on 650 - 720 vdc

Incidentally it is the same voltage of the electric fences in Jurassic Park. Dresderistan, do you live in Jurassic Park? Are you a dinosaur?

You make a good point. Have any feathers been left about?

For what it's worth, I am really reconsidering wanting to have kids when I hear you talking about the costs.

Ahhh, I remember the time I got stuck playing chess with the mathematics professor father of a friend of mine.

I managed a stalemate

My friend's mom-and sister-just stared at me suspiciously.


Oops.

Tune in next time to find out what happened to EL after those two women stared suspiciously.
