A lawyer, who had a wife and 12 children needed to move because his rental agreement was terminated by the owner who wanted to reoccupy the home. But he was having a lot of difficulty finding a new house. When he said, he had 12 children no one would rent a home to him because they felt that the children would destroy the house.

He couldn't say he had no children because he couldn't lie.
We all know lawyers cannot and do not lie. So, he sent his wife for
a walk to the cemetery with their other 11 children and took the
remaining one with him to see rental homes with the real estate agent.

He loved one of the homes and the price was right -- the agent asked:
"How many children do you have?
He answered: "Twelve."
The agent asked, "Where are the others?"
The lawyer, with his best courtroom sad look answered
“They're in the cemetery with their mother."

MORAL: It's not necessary to lie, one only has to choose the right words… and don't forget, most politicians are unfortunately lawyers.

The type of capacitive stylus that works with a standard smartphone is not what I am talking about. This computer is equipped with a Wacom digitizer, similar to what you'd find in professional-grade drawing tablets. It features pressure sensitivity, buttons, and a hover ability. The resolution is significantly higher than anything that could be achieved with a standard capacitive digitizer.

The Microsoft Surface has a similar setup, as do certain Samsung tablets. Samsung's implementation is truly awful, though.

Capacitive sty-what?

Err... guys, I haven't addressed the stuff you shared lately but know this: I love ya all. You guys take care.

Great, that sounds like a last farewell before committing suicide

It's a long story SG.

So my internet didn't get fixed Thursday, the technician went to the wrong house and didn't come through ours. I only found that out after calling on a blocked number. We had another appointment for Friday but our ISP told us that NBNCo "forgot about us" and they wouldn't send a technician out over the weekend to repair our fault despite being told our case is at urgent and highest level. We were absolutely furious. So we now wait until Tuesday in hoping that someone will turnup.

I also didn't leave the house Thursday & Friday so 2 days of my time wasted.

I hear ya, BK... I have a similar problem with Home Depot right now: I ordered a shower kit for my bathroom some time ago. Two weeks ago, I went to the local store and asked what kind of estimated time of delivery they had... next Friday. Okay, fine.

So on the Friday in question, I went back: is my shower here? Took the clerk almost an hour to find out that yes the shower arrived, but one of the pieces was broken and they had to reorder it. One more week. Keep in mind, I took two weeks off to work on my bathroom in between jobs, and now I have lost all that time waiting for my shower to show up. So, yesterday, I went back: is my shower here?

Another hour, it's supposed to be on order, but we don't have an order number? took the clerk almost a whole second hour (and finally a couple calls to Corporate) to determine that for whatever reason, the replacement part was never ordered.

So, if I am lucky that I actually went down there and inquired, but it won't be until I return from my first week of work next weekend before I know whether I will have a shower to install.

I've found it hard to keep positive about it and all as we've been let down twice. On Thursday & Friday I was making calls practically all day to our ISP & NBNCo trying to found out information. If no one turns up on Tuesday then a complaint will be made to the Telecommunications Industry Ombudsman. Picture below is the NTD (Network Termination Device). The blue wire which is the fibre has come and needs to be fixed.

Man, the used market sucked. Had my guitar and amp on CL for months and no bite. Only a couple who wants the amp alone and I'm not parting them.

Also the used gun parts ain't moving either. Sheez.
