Well, I guess I made someone else angry. Probably cause they are jealous at my neighbor's talent. But isn't it grEy? Or are both technically correct?

Gray, Grey, Gray, Grey. I dunno what even looks better!

And don't call me names... it ruins my self-esteem :\ I already live in Minnesota... that is enough against me!

Technically, it's Gray.

And you're right. Living in Minnesota is already a strike against you. ;)

But it looks like you are in Michigan. Doesn't one of the great lakes around there smell? I know Ohio smells bad, but then again you may be on the other peninsula not touching that really bad smell.

So, my job this summer is looking to pay well, and I'm starting to consider saving some cash so at the end of the summer I could get a MacBook Pro.

I'd probably wind up selling the MacBook, but I'm so indecisive about these things. Darn me and my being indecisive.

*edit*

Forget that. I'm just going to get a bigger hard drive for my little buddy. We've still got some good times ahead of us!

(Plus, by the time Apple Care runs out, I'll have enough stashed to get a 17" MBP. :) )

Ouch... I got a negative rep for one of my posts here. Thats depressing :O Apparently people don't have senses of humor in an "anything goes" area ;) Or don't understand it!

Derek? Was that you! I oughta slap you!

Please don't obsess about rep. We have had problems in the past with people getting into a tizzy over it, causing the system to be turned off.

A gray dot just means that that person is too new to have their rating count for or against you.

Yeah, cwa is right. The system was off limits for a while due to people begging for some openly in threads or publicly agonizing over a negative rep point and going on and on and on about it.

Read all about it here.

And more here.

Sorry, my bad. I was just messing around with Derek. Was being slightly sarcastic, cause I really don't care that much. (That's why I used a ';)' and not a "***, srsly" post.) :) Thanks for the tip though!

EDIT: (Delete it please, if you think it will cause problems, I didn't mean to try start a hype, sincerely sorry!)

Negative rep, positive rep, its all just opinion. Counts for nothing really. Many just use it for popularity.

Don't get me started! I am from Canada. Donuts are, of course, almost the national food in Canada. Tim Hortons anyone? :D

Crossed the border at 4am once just to get fresh donuts from Tim Hortons.

They actually do taste different in Canada.

Also, in Canada, milk comes in bags.

Coincidentally, Canadian Idiot by Weird Al is playing in iTunes as I read this.

Derek, anyone who will go to those lengths to get a fresh Tim Hortons donut is a friend of mine! :D

[RANT]

Yes, milk does come in bags in Canada, and I hate it! The bags are only 1 litre in size, and they seem to be perpetually nearly empty. Everytime you want some milk you seem to have to finish off the little that is left in the current bag, get another one, open it, put in the plastic bag holding container that allows you to pour it, and then you can finally have the milk you started out to get five minutes earlier! Ackkkkk.....

Milk in bags is one of those things I really don't miss from Canada.

[/RANT]

Now Tim Hortons donuts on the other hand... :D

Haha, I'm drinking some milk right now reading this, and it's making me more thirsty. Skim milk of course is the way to go. :)

bryphotoguy, now I'm going to have to watch Super Troopers tonight when I get home from work, haha.

I enjoy a nice tall glass of Vitamin D milk, myself.

Now, the real question:

Is it pronounced "mill-k" or "mel-k"?

Mac57:

Border patrol finds it awfully fishy when a couple of teenagers want to cross the border just to get donuts.

They figured we were vandals or terrorists, most likely.

We just wanted some authentic Tim Hortons.

It's so pronounced with an E.
