Things that piss you off.

[ddasey]

Coming home last night from two weeks away on business to discover that one of my dogs needed to be put down.

She passed peacefully at 10:30am. My 3 year olds are devastated.

Sorry to hear JC.

Went through the same thing 18 months ago, hardest day of my life....

[Golfnut]

That's crap JC.....especially for the little ones.....sorry mate.

[Webster]

Bummer JC, it's tough to deal with. I still miss my little mate who went to doggy heaven last year.

[Dotty]

Losing a golf ball on your home course.

That's now two in fourteen months.

[Grunt]

Sorry to hear JC had to do the same last year, one of my hardest days to have to take Tayla's dog away and not come back.

[Courty]

We've had almost 1.5m this year already.

Really sorry to read that mate. It's can be more than a little bit traumatic, losing pets.

[PerryGroves]

Moving house.

Can't get motivated, the empty boxes in the corner are mocking me

My wife sitting next to Slash this morning at a hotel in Brisbane and not knowing who he was.

Then she had to ring me and tell me on the way to the airport when one of her friends told her who it was.

So no autograph for my Les Paul.

Edit your hosts file on the computer, or the router, or whatever.

facebook.com 127.0.0.1

Facebook instantly dead.

Phones are another story.

[Jarro]

Phones are a BIG story.

As are iPods

[haysey]

She's having issues with a stalker. (Only found out thanks to her school counselor)

I've banned her from facebook until I can have a look at her privacy settings etc, etc. Not that I know how to do that even.

Jarro, add "friends" to that as well. Drives me mental

Good luck with that mate. My suggestion would be to get rid of Facebook altogether ... it's nothing but a tool of evil for young kids.

We've had a few issues with bullying etc. because of it as well, not nice at all

Haysey, try ehow.com, I've found it very useful in all the things that I've had to block.

As for the phone thing, I'm about to start unplugging it from the wall halfway through the conversation, she'd be none the wiser

I'd like too. But I'd have a fight on my hands, with the wife more than the daughter.

you need to deal with this very swiftly haysey before it gets more out of hand. a workmate's daughter was bullied on FB/phone and despite pleas for it to stop, it didnt. They ended up applying for a restraining order through the courts. When it got to the hearing, the teenagers mother had no idea what she was up to. They agreed to have an agreement and to cease the order. Fortunately this has worked so far.

[Jarro]

The key to having a teenager on facebook is to know their login details so you can check up on what's going on there.

The missus and I are constantly checking in on #1's activity on Facebook

[haysey]

I made her "friend" me so I could keep an eye on her. Which I do. But I hadn't considered the chat function.

the power going off when it is nearly 40C and I have over a dozen people coming over for dinner tonight. aaaaaaaargggggggg
