[Aumaan Anubis]

[DoorM4n]

My dad pisses me off so much. I can't talk to him about anything 'cause he gets so angry at everything I say.

[Aumaan Anubis]

Tural predicted it, and he was right; HaloMods is down.

[Eaton]

Tural predicted it, and he was right; HaloMods is down.

And I was starting to think it was up for good.

[Zieon Eslador]

Parallelepipeds hate me with a passion. The feeling is starting to become mutual.

I'll try again on Thursday since I'll be busy tomorrow and Wednesday.

[Aumaan Anubis]

Alright, so there's this guy in Louisville who's had a year-long battle with hiccups.
Yes, I said hiccups.

He receives them constantly, and doctors have prescribed medication and stuff to help him, all with no success.

Here's the story on video

In the video, he states, "I wanted to get this story out, so if anyone has something I hasn't tried, they can contact me and help me."
Now, I don't know what's different in me than when I read this story a couple months ago, but he popped into my mind, and I felt sorta determined to help him.

So, first thing I do, try to contact him. Can't find his email, anywhere. Like seriously, the news stations that ran this story should've at least given us something to contact him with.

Unfortunately, the best I could find was, a link that said if I were a medical professional, I could contact the news station or whatever through a provided email.
This site has the email and a written story, http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/27651513/

So I'm currently writing an email with my personal possible solutions, as well as a plea to receive his normal email. Lets hope they actually give it to him.

What are your ideas?

[xxpenguinxx]

You had more than three lines of text in your signature. - Aum Seriously? You lie, I checked it on a 1024 x 768 resolution. Unless you use large font. You had a quote box that included three lines of text, NOT including the name, "random person on a forum." The name, combined with the other three lines of text constitutes 4 lines.

hmm...

[Aumaan Anubis]

What are your ideas?

I found that rubbing the top of the neck at the sides for a few moments immediately got rid of my own hiccups.

I also hypothesized that the constant hiccups was a way for his body to cope with stress, much like many of us bite our nails. I told him to lower the stress in his life, and then try the suggested remedies, in the hope that they'll be more effective.

hmm...

That's what I saw. I'll find the quote and try it out in someone's signature to confirm.

[Achilles]

See? 4 Lines of text.

Plus your picture, that violates the rules, and that's what the almighty lord of the dead acted upon.

[xxpenguinxx]

The hmm... part wasn't for a correction or anything. I was just looking at it and going. "hmm..."

I think I'm leaving it like that.

[neodos]

Its 2 lines for me, i am running on 1280x1024 though.

But eh come on let's keep it cool we are a very small community, if it really annoys someone else then the stupid rules, people will tell about it

[socrates]

i kinda agree with 'cone-head' (talkin bout avatar) that it isn't bothering anyone except those who 'live by the rules' but i do also understand that there are rules and they are made for a reason..not just to piss people off
however...why is the signature height limit 120 and not 125? i have many signature (downloaded a pack) that are of 125 dimensions and it gets irritating to have to resize it then upload it...i tried resizing in photobucket but it said 'saving' for like five mins..and with that time i could ahve opened it up in paint and resized it.

[JacksonCougar]

I usually let things slip. I won't budge on the animated sprites thing, they annoy the piss out of me. But yea, that sig was 3 lines. lul.

[DemonicSandwich]

Who the fuck runs a 1024x768 resolution? That's insanely small.
--------------------------------------------------
And yeah, there's nothing like to waking up to a blaring car alarm next to your window that was triggered by your neighbors cat. (¬_¬)
Making annoying moaning sounds outside my window is one thing, but trigger that alarm clock and that is punishable by death.

Someone want to get me a beebee gun for Christmas?

[Aumaan Anubis]

Who the fuck runs a 1024x768 resolution? That's insanely small.

Not on everyone's computer...

But sure, Jackson appears OK with it. Go ahead with the four line + picture signature if you feel like it.

[Zieon Eslador]

So this makes big news while absolutely no one even hears about this? Seriously now, what have we come to?

[DoorM4n]

I CAN'T STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!

I CAN'T STOP PROCRASTINATING!!!

Same, it seems to just happen without me even meaning to.

I think my cat is dead

Our cats are outside cats besides one(if it was up to me they would all be in side), and one of them just went off... for 2 weeks... and hasn't been back
It doesn't mean he IS dead, just most likely... I'm very attached to them, I think of them as part as the family.

There's many things that could of happened;
1. Drunk idiots shot him, if so, find way to get back at them.
2. Neighbor shot him, turn her in(something else).
3. Neighbor's dogs attacked him, if so, kill dogs in painful way.
4. Gator that's living in my pond ate him... if so, kill gator in painful way.
5. Other animal attacked him, if so, I can't do much... hope it comes around here so I can kill it.
The reason for killing the dogs/gator in a painful way is because they would have killed him in a painful way.

I wouldn't feel bad about any of them, Neighbor is a bitch; lets her dogs run around, run in the middle of the road when your trying to drive, and they pull over the trash cans putting trash everywhere, she is stealing from her X, and she steals crap from everyone when they aren't looking, and some other stuff.

Really, my whole Neighborhood is not a very good place, besides like ten people.

[xxpenguinxx]

Don't cats when they can tell that their going to die soon wonder off to die peacefully. I've heard that somewhere before but forget where.
