Oh well, I thought I was being constructive. I guess if it gets closed we'll have to continue venting in other inappropriate places or vent to ourselves in our blogs.

Cheers,

Is this thread a reincarnation of "What are you doing now"

No, it was intended to be a place to vent frustrations you have with things that were said or done in a constructive, non-violent, way outside the thread in which they occurred so that the threads don't get filled up with discussions about topics that are unrelated. To prevent a thread ending up like this:

Though I love these entertaining threads but I wonder how XP can be so partial

PS
I always wished to have an easy access to cyanide in the medical stores.

Read some of the code I have written. You would want to find cyanide somehow. You would do anything for it.

We also then hung an oscillating desk fan from the ceiling in front of the open oven, to expand the oasis, but the fan melted from drawing the hot air through it. Not recommended.
We did this for several years by putting the fan behind the stove and pushing the heat to the other room with out any problems. Not the best solution but it worked.

If we did the same here in India, we could boil and egg in the room.

Good vents! Half a cup of apple seeds should do it, however due to cyanogenic glycosides inherent in the seeds of some Prunus spp. ; effectiveness depends on body weight.

Was this the laptop which you didn't allow other to touch ? I can understand how much painful it can be when one is so possessive about his stuff.

That was informative, I never knew that apple seeds could kill, I never ate them simply because I assumed them to be sour!!

But apple seeds cannot compete with cyanide in making the life easy

Our internet just cut out for a while...my mom is convinced it was part of some conspiracy...part of me wonders if she's right...most of me wants to dismiss it...it gets me in a combination of frustration, anger, and fear, let's put it that way...



Does this count as "venting"?
