So what happens when your significant other is a very picky person? What happens when it comes down to serious matters? In this story, one relationship fails due to something as simple as an auto insurance quote.

Him: Hon, let’s look at this site for insurance.

Her: (takes a look) No.

Him: Oh, stop, they look cheap enough! Let’s just take a look.

Her: No. Go to another site.

Him: Oh for crying out loud.

(He goes to another site)

Her: (looks at it) No.

Him: What’s wrong with this one?!

Her: Too cheap. You know something isn’t right when it’s so cheap.

Him: (sighs) You are stubborn, you know that?

Her: Shut up and go on another site.

(He goes to another site, and it didn’t finish loading until…)

Her: No.

Him: Are you kidding me?! The site didn’t even finish loading!

Her: Hon, that’s why I said no. If they can’t make their site load fast enough, they might not be able to help us fast enough!

Him: Okay, you know what? Why don’t you look for a site?

Her: No, that’s your job; you look, I say no.

Him (aggravated, mumbles): My mother warned me about you.

Her: Excuse me?

Him: Nothing.

Her (pulls his ear): WHAT DID YOU JUST SAY?!

Him: N-n-nothing at all!

Her: You know what? You wanna talk about mothers? Your mother needs to comb that rat nest of hers on her head!

Him: Ooooh…no…you…didn’t!

Her: Yes I did! And another thing, when was the last time she went to the dentist, huh?

Him: Would you stop talking about my mother please?

Her: Oh no, I’m not done yet. She slept around so much that she doesn’t know who your real daddy is! And this is coming from her!

Him: Okay, that does it! I refuse to sit here and make you talk about my mother like that!

As they argue, his mother comes into the apartment. She looks at them, looks at the laptop, then shakes her head.

Mother: I wish you’d get married already. Then you’ll have an excuse to argue!

I remember back in the day¹ when a whole bunch of web 2.0-oriented sites popped up. You know, the minimalistic² designs, the whole semantics thing, search engine optimization, that kind of stuff. For those who know me, they’d know that I thrive on creativity (which is killing me since I need a new layout but I can’t think of something really good), and I could do the whole proper coding thing and the whole minimalistic (but not boring) layout. The only thing that I never figured out was the whole SEO thing. Apparently, you can look up for the best seo software to help you in that department. Doubt it worth it though; I figure that I’ll learn eventually.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been out of that loop for quite a while, but I’m not seeing the whole web 2.0 craze as much anymore. Does it still exist?

When I was younger, I used to have a really bad acne problem. I mean, it was so bad that kids called me all kinds of names (on top of the endless “fat” jokes–cruel bastards). As I got older, the severity of it diminished, but once in a while, I’ll get a renegade breakout, mainly under the jaw. And there’s the blackheads and…ugh, it can be such a pain sometimes!

I’ve heard of ideas to remove blackheads. I want to hear yours. What do you use to get rid of them? Do you recommend it for anyone else?

So, you guys probably remember the WTF moment about this new weight loss drug (well at the time it was new) called alli. I can’t believe that it’s still around after all these years! I thought they’d gotten sued by now for pain and suffering and ruined laundry. So I saw this thing with alli reviews and the findings are even more interesting.

Alli does lower cholesterol and risk of type 2 diabetes with extended use. However, it does not really promote much weight loss. The average participant in studies used the prescription dose, not the Alli dose, and about 70% lost 5-10% of their body mass, not necessarily in fat over the space of a year, while the rest did not lose any weight at all. Those that did lose weight gained it back after they went off Orlistat. Unfortunately, you could lose more than 5 to 10% of your body weight with diet and exercise alone.

…No really? You can probably lose more body weight just by masturbation.

Remember the list of side effects that it comes with? You know, anal leakage, increased chance to shit your pants, the possibility of losing your social life? It’s there. Just imagine yourself taking this medication just so you can be .5% lighter. You’re at work…with light pants on. You start feeling something come out…

Oh yeah, goodbye those pair of pants. Goodbye social life too. You’ll be the one known in the office as the one who couldn’t control their bowels. People are cruel. And heaven forbid if you work in child care. Kids are crueler.

Here is one of the poor consumer reviews:

used this product for a week and for that week I felt crappy…..I guess I wanted so desperately to be thin..I did NOT consult doctor first..How many people do!!! Well on the seventh day I passed out twice..That was it….I would rather have my live than die trying to be thin!!!!!DO NOT USE THIS product ..It is NOT safe!!!!Even if many reviews say it is…It is not!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well this person made a mistake and not consult a doctor before taking this drug. But she also makes a point there–how many people do when they start a new diet, especially ones including over-the-counter diet pills? And the scary part about this case is that she passed out–twice–while on this medication. She could have died the third time.

Why hasn’t this been pulled yet? What are these big hats doing up at the FDA?
