Bugger, my left knee hurts considerably. Not sure but think I hurt it playing with the kids/my nieces yesterday. Hope after a good night's sleep the pain will be gone.

What is the quote in your signature, Lutra? Google translate doesn't make sense of it.

In these matters the only certainty is that nothing is certain.

Thanks. Google translate was way off on that one. It had the certain part, but something else about miserable men and tyrants.

~ Pliny the Elder (Gaius Plinius Secundus) ~
The literal translation of the whole thing, with additions in brackets is:
The only certain thing [is that] nothing [is] certain and nothing [is] more wretched or more proud than man.

Ah, wrote this and then saw Skyblue basically answered your question. Still posting my stance though.

It's a quote of Pliny the elder. Well, I bumped into it reading 'The Essays' by Michel de Montaigne. It translates something like (um, my words): The only thing certain is that nothing is but nothing is more proud/arrogant and wretched/stupid than man (-kind). Um, arrogant and stupid I added because I usually read it like that but proud and wretched are the correct translation of superbius and miserius.

Well, think what Pliny meant was, that (absolute) certainty doesn't exist but certain seems that people will always be more proud and more wretched to see that. He meant it, I think, in a, dunno, sarcastic manner.

Debate!  :laugh:

Fantasizing about murdering my father, especially for the shit that just happened today a while ago concerning me and my loved ones without my knowledge and awareness.

No, I haven't murdered anyone yet and don't plan to. But I really hope he fucking leaves this planet soon.

The asshole who parked next to me at my son's football practice. :finger: Thirty minutes and still smoking with the window down and the pick-up truck running and the AC blasting. Bad enough you're polluting my air and causing me an adverse reaction...

WHAT A FUCKING LOSER!!!

Crazy, I'm halfway to crazy
Suicide would waste me
Homicide would break me
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Tongue tied and tied to the tongue
Oh, is life as bad as dreams
I guess that's just the way it seems

I knew the brakes on my van were really bad so I parked it till I had time to fix it.  I had to move it out of the driveway and the rotor broke when I put the brakes on

The loser kid who keeps hitting my son in the helmet amd even grabbing him by the helmet and tackling him as he is blocking him, which is against the rules in all levels of football. I tried to point it out to the coach during a break so the kids wouldn't be around but the kids ran back before I finished and the assistants pulled the kids aside so they couldn't see me apparently undermine the coach. Then the coach came over to me as I tended to my son's hurt wrist to point out I should've called him over instead of calling him out which is what I tried not to do. I explained it wasn't my intent, I was trying to speak privately to him, and that I know they aren't teaching that. Then the kid did it to another kid and he actually tried to tell my son it wasn't him and someone else did it to my son when I first walked over as my son hobbled to me holding his wrist and crying. Basically adding salt to my son's wound and trying to act all innocent. He knew he was guilty. Grrrr!!!
