Pfft. Catholics have to go to a school to learn guilt. We Jews are born with it.

Forgive me but how is one born a jew?

By the ultra-traditional definition, you're Jewish if your mother is Jewish. As you get less and less orthodox, the definition can include either parent being Jewish, or even being considered a 'true' Jew if you've converted.

In my case, both my parents are Jewish-- so I'm all set. :tongue:

...Judaism is a national religion, tied to bloodline (generally, barring the Khazar incident and other curiosities), it's long been a matter of some dispute how and if at all a gentile can convert to Judaism.

My computer has been running through its battery faster than in the past and has been shutting down at 25% or even 30% power a lot of the time. Sometimes next week, I need to take it in and get it looked at because my command prompt found some corrupt files that it wasn't able to fix.

Laptop batteries generally need replacement every couple of years. Particularly if they aren't properly cycled. How old is the computer? You can generally find replacements, just Google the part number of the battery. They normally cost around $100 or so for an official (read: not a Won Hung Lo piece of shit) one.

Oh, goody-goody: anothet 0100 day tomorrow, God...f***ing damnit.

I wouldn't care so much if they assigned these jobs further out than twelve hours. Then I could actually plan around it, instead of having to adjust and drop my plans every frigging night.

Modsquad, it looks like it's time for a new FML thread.
