If you knew RS, you'd know that this is impossible.
Cereally, I can see their POV. They don't want their son to live in a world of escape and addiction. And sexual dysfunction. My guess is that having 12 moving boxes of porn is probably not totally unrelated to his divorce.
But then, maybe he needs escape and it comes in far worse forms.
It would be funny if the dad was like, "son, there are these new inventions called 'the internet' and 'hard drives.' Whadefuh you doing with all this stuff lying around where your wife can find it?"
Quote: billryanThere is a huge difference between having 12 boxes of porn magazines and 12 boxes of porn videos. You can fit hundreds of dvds in a moving box. Either is a bit excessive.
I have 12 cartons of comic books and I would be livid if someone decided for me what I can or cannot collect.
As long as it was legal porn the parents were wrong

Their house. Their rules. Unless he was living there, can't they consider it abandoned property? I've had landlords call about boxes of stuff left behind by someone who moved out.
Do you think you are entitled to leave 12 boxes of comics at anyone's house indefinitely? From the fact he is suing his folks, I'm going way out on a limb and assume they weren't very close. I don't think parents have an obligation to store anything for their grown children.
I think the son is not the only one in that family who needs a mental health intervention....
This post is rather judgmental without a lot of context in the story. Sex addiction can be as debilitating as any other addiction. I have no idea of the facts, but I’m inclined to give the benefit of the doubt to his parents.Quote: TigerWuThe parents equated (presumably) completely legal pornographic material with distribution levels of cocaine.

I don't think they were equating them in terms of their legality.

Bill the article states the following:
He moved in with his parents after his divorce.
He moved out 10 months later to a different state and had his parents send his belongings to him.
The belongings arrived minus the porn. They sent all his other belongings so this was not an abandoned property issue but a decision to destroy property they didn't like
While maybe he should have packed his own stuff to ship its reasonable to assume your parents might not screw you over
The man is 40 years old. I think he can decide for himself if he wanted to keep the collection
Also doesn't sound like his parents were estranged after he had just lived with them for the last 10 months

I didn't say the son didn't have a problem, I'm saying that equating a few boxes of porn to a freakin' kilo of cocaine doesn't exactly show the best ethical judgment or mental stability on the parents' part.

If you look at the very carefully spaced, center-justified letters of all but the word "anal", it seems clear the original sign said "annual". The photographer just removed "nu" and slid "an" over, then took the picture. 100% prank.

What I also found weird about this picture is that the egg hunt is 9 days before Easter, but it could have been an honest switch mistake, accidentally putting April 12, which was a normal day instead of April 21, which was Easter.

egg hunts are almost always weeks before easter. Do you really think churches are going to have kids activities on easter day. Maybe some do but most do not.
Quote: GWAEwell just found out the first issue with cancelling cable and having roku and hulu. We have 2 TVs and last month my damn 4 year old lost the remote. Roku requires a remote to use it. He likes to put his show on and then hide the remote so no one can change the channel, he can not remember what he did with it. So yesterday the living room remote went missing. He claims he didn't hide this one but it is gone. I was going to order a new remote but I can not find a replacement remote for this roku. It is a voice activated remote. I might just have to buy a new roku. If this was our cable box I could change it on the box. uggg. The roku went into sleep mode yesterday so now we will get to see what it is like without TV. well kinda, I can watch hulu on my phone.

Yeah, but Rokus are friggin' cheap, so it's not that terrible of a situation.
They're awesome. Way better than cable TV, and it's FREE.

I think roku should make an option where you can order a replacement remote for $20 or something.
We actually pay $40 a month for hulu. paying $70 for internet and hulu so much better than the 130 we were paying before.

Yeah it could'a been for 2009 or maybe they're getting ready for 2020!

Hmm... maybe it's a regional thing (or possibly a Catholic thing), but I have never heard of a church sponsored Easter Egg hunt that wasn't on Easter Sunday. Our church had one on Sunday. BTW, they did not hide the eggs very well!Quote: GWAEegg hunts are almost always weeks before easter. Do you really think churches are going to have kids activities on easter day.

Oddly enough, this sign says it's for a homeowner's association, not a church. I'm wondering (assuming the pic is real) if some kids in the neighborhood were out late and decided to mess with the sign. It happens. Not that I have ever participated in such shenanigans... ;)
If you get a new remote, are you going to bolt it down to the furniture like they do at the Motel 6?Quote: GWAEI think roku should make an option where you can order a replacement remote for $20 or something.

My town, and my apartment complex both held egg hunts on the Saturday before Easter this year. I tend to doubt most hunts are on Easter itself.
I bet there is an app you can download on your phone.Quote: GWAEwell just found out the first issue with cancelling cable and having roku and hulu.

Either way, I bough one a while ago because one of my smart TV's doesn't seem to have screen mirroring capability(WTF it's less than 1.5 years old). I can't seem to fin my chrome cast, but I know I have one. I went to buy another one at Frys along with some other stuff. They didnt have any in stock. The guy at Frys told me the Roku would also work as a PC casting device and I could cast ANY of my PC content to my TV. It was skeptical about that and his knowledge in general. I thought, "what the hell, it's less expensive than a chrome cast and If it works like I want it to I will get 2 things for less than the cost of one. If not, I will just take it back." Sure enough, it doesn't do what I want it to do. Frys is on the other side of town and I didnt take it back. You can just have it if you can wait 16 more days.

I have no doubt that municipalities and communities will schedule a hunt for whenever is most convenient, but the hunts actually at the church are mostly on Easter Sunday. At least the churches I see around here.Quote: billryanMy town, and my apartment complex both held egg hunts on the Saturday before Easter this year. I tend to doubt most hunts are on Easter itself.
Think about it. Your apartment complex had it on a Saturday because that's when they would get the most participation. Churches will have it on Easter Sunday because, aside from symbolic reasons, that's when they will have the most people.

I don't remember my church having them. I can't say they didn't, but I never got roped into going to one.
I like the plastic eggs better than the ones I hunted as a kid.
Sadly, it is not a beer festival, but an all women dance festival featuring various types of Tap Dancing.
Unfortunately, once you get on the guest list, its a no-no to not show up. We are basically seat fillers so someone doesn't pay $250 for two seats only to have empty seats around them.

Found 1 remote. TV 2 remote is still gone. I wonder if there is an app for phone. Thinking about it, I dont think mine does. When I had galaxy 6 it had an app on it. Got new phone and it does not. Tried to get an app and I believe it said galaxy 8 does not have infrared or something.
Funny you mentioned casting. My TV is 8 years old and doesnt cast. Roku does though. However I had reset the roku and when I tried to cast I had to confirm that it was okay by using the remote. Ahhhhhh
Sounds like fun.
