My dad got a divorce from my mom when he was 41. He's 49 now and has been seeing a lady (about same age, never married, no kids) for a few years now. He's planning on marrying her.

My question is, is it normal to make a big deal over a wedding when you're older? Maybe it's a mid-life crisis type of thing?

The "problem" :

My dad lives in a 3 bedroom ranch right now that is a nice modest home. It can hold five people easily. My two brothers (teenagers) live with their mom 6 hours away so they only visit during part of the summer and during winter/spring break. When they visit my dad they room together (bunk beds) and it's fine. I'm in college so I visit about the same time they do and get a room to myself. The logical thing to do if my dad gets married is she move in with him, right? No.

My dad is spending a bunch of money and probably putting a huge debt on himself to buy a new (less than 2 years old) house in a pretty ritzy neighborhood. This house is gigantic. It probably costs 3x the house my dad lives in right now.

The thing is it's not like my dad is going to raise a family- he already has. Plus he's had a vasectomy and I don't think my dad or his lady friend plan on adopting. So basically he's buying a huge house in a fancy neighborhood and he and his wife will live in it while sporadically me and my two brothers will visit. 90% of the time it will just be two people living in it.

Also:

Instead of getting married immediately my dad and his lady friend are getting married in the summer so that all their friends and family will be able to come to the wedding. My dad's lady friend is "super catholic" so maybe Catholic weddings are like this? I can understand for young people the importance of inviting lots of people to your wedding- you get tons of gifts to help you start a new life and family. The thing is both my dad and his lady friend work, they aren't hurting for money and they aren't starting a new family.

I'm happy for my dad that he's getting married but it just seems "strange" what he is doing. New big house in a nice neighborhood, big wedding...

My grandfather on my dad's side died when he was 55. He was a heavy smoker and drinker though (my dad doesn't smoke and he is not overweight) and was very overweight. My dad is 50 in about a week so maybe he just wants to maximize his utility because based off his family history he isn't going to live into his 80's? :(

Or maybe my dad's lady friend is so obsessed with this "reality shows" like The Bachelor and she has to have the perfect wedding. Thoughts? :p

Horror movies don't scare me any more and haven't for aeons.

When I was a kid, a local theater showed movies for kids on weekends. Big old one-screen theater with a balcony, the type that doesn't exist any more -- red carpet, gold angels on the ceiling, all that. Me and a friend went one weekend and some old horror movie festival was playing and one movie scared us so bad we spent the 2nd half of it up at the entrance by the lobby, poking our heads around inside to peek at the screen, terrified. That was awesome. Except that when you're a kid, you get scared when Timmie is stuck down the well again and Lassie can't find his owner.

Since then, I've seen exactly ONE movie where I was genuinely scared: http://imdb.com/title/tt0090644/ More a slasher film than anything cool and creepy, but I was watching it in the dark on my couch and someone knocked at my door in the middle of it and I screamed.

Other than that, when looking at horror movies, it's all "Oh yeah this one's gross" or "This one is stupid fun" or "this one is bloody" or "this one is funny as hell" but never do I see one and go "omg that is scary". Story-wise, remember the old Hammer anthologies based on the way old EC Comics "Vault of Horror" and "Tales from the Crypt" etc.? Those were nice and creepy, if not terrifying.

Giggles and I are gonna rent one horror movie a day until we find one that is actually scary. Last night was Psycho II.

World of Warcraft Money Whoring Question:

After 40 levels o questing, fighting, buying and selling, I only have 16 gold.

I only bought 3 < 1gold upgrades at the AH, most of my money was spent buying recipes, training etc. AFAIK, Herbalism/Alchemy isn't a great way of making money, I wish I would have gone with skinning/leatherworking.

What's the best way for a 40 Tauren Druid who does herbalism/alchemy to make mount monies?

Heh, finally found a hip hop song that is pro war. MC Hammers seminal comeback "Active Duty" features a pro-war, ultrapatriotic track called "No Stoppin Us (USA)". Clip here:

Home owners.

We are trying to decide between house or condo. I think we should get a Condo for 4-5 years until we have kids then get a house. Mainly because I think a house would be a ton of work. Do you feel that you spend a lot of time on up keep of your house.

i really don't like you people any more. all day, nay, for the last week at least i've been considering a WoW purchase. constantly. i had to stop myself from going to the Target near work because I know i'll give in and buy it. all the more so cause it looks like Asheron's Call 2, the only other MMORPG i've really enjoyed in the past few years, but with content, something that AC2 severly lacked. so i may actually like it. and it's supposedly got nearly open PvP, so it just keeps sounding better and better.

in other news, games.slashdot.org linked to a landoverbaptist.org site on WoW probably good for a laugh.

Has anyone seen and or used those BowFlex/Nautillus SelecTech weight systems? I'm thinking about picking up a set due to the limited space I have in my house for a gym setup. Driving to a gym is almost out since it's about a 45 minute drive to anything I can afford. I'm just wondering how gimmicky they really are. I like the idea, but if they don't work, I don't want to sink tons of money into them.

Well, I've had better days.

This morning, I was walking by my couch and heard a crash, my cat had knocked something over. In my haste, I turned around and slammed the foot of my couch with big toe.

I peeled back my big toenail. Damn thing bled right through my sock. The toenail is still attached, but it's got a crack all the way through about a third of the way down. Sumbitch hurt like hell and is starting to feel worse.

Anyone know if it will fall off or if the toenail will try to grow underneath it? I'm wondering if I need to see a doctor to go ahead and get the toenail removed.

I keep my nails pretty short, so I must have smacked it just at the right spot.

So, today I was at my parents house and I made this steak recipie: http://www.shacknews.com/ja.zz?id=9362685 beforehand I soaked the steak in plain yogurt overnight. Man, you guys HAVE to try this recipie, it's the best steak I've ever had in my life. Everyone loved it. It's pretty spicy and after they cook you're left with a lot of nice sauce to pour over them. I used sirloin steaks that were a little smaller than the 1.5" thick that he suggested so I cooked them in the oven 4 minutes each side and they came out well done, I like medium better so next time I'm going to try 2 minutes.

Damnit, I am soo pissed off. I have been fucking around with itunes for the last week straight, and I don't think I have any choice but to use something 3rd party to deal with this thing. The bugs and broken features in itunes are laughable. For example:

- Selecting files in the library. Try holding CTRL and scrolling up and down. Oops, went a couple too far, scroll back up... WTF?!

- Library has no way to refresh itself. Unless you buy music through itunes or rip a CD, that is. Oh, do it manually? How? Oh, that's right - redo the whole fucking library.

- Library also does not refresh itself if you remove files. Hey, look it shows me a little exclamation mark beside the file. How does that help? It still counts it in every way possible, and I have to manually remove every single one.

- "Only update checked songs". What, you mean that little checkbox beside the songs? Nothing I do makes this affect anything.

- Hey, is there any way that the ten years of sorting MP3z I have been doing, through DIRECTORIES, can be taken into consideration in itunes? Oh, okay, sorry for asking. I will just handpick the 20 songs I have in my /gangsta rap directory out of the 10,000 in itunes. That's handy!

- If you have more music in your library than you have ipod space, you are completely fucked. Have fun manually keeping track of nine million nested smart playlists to get around this, instead of itunes simply not updating files you have 'unchecked'. Oh, that's right, there is an option to do this - too bad it doesn't work.

- I could go on and on... This is simply the most useless and buggy piece of shit software ever made. I could duct-tape a cocker spaniel's paw to a mouse in VB and they could drool out better music management software. God help me now, I have to start completely from scratch with some crappy 3rd party solution just so I can listen to music on my ipod.

Futurama is probably the only animated show that has ever evoked any real emotion for me. I just saw the episode called "Jurassic Bark" where Fry discovers his fossilized dog in a museum. Maybe you've gotta be a dog person to fully appreciate it, but man, the end of that is really touching.

Same thing with the episode "Luck of the Fryish"
