    Mixed results on the forums about the success of the splitters, at least for this brand of puter. USB sounds plausible... Thanks all.

    I've never seen a "combo" port for both mic and speakers. But yeah, USB would probably be the way to go, if that's what they're going to.

I've got a nice set of BOSE speakers, but I haven't really had the motivation to hook them up. The "house pest" tried to sell them to me.... right until I reminded her that she was living in my house for free.

Yeah... still a bit pissed about that whole experience.

    She's gone, man, let it go.

The usb phones worked well, though you still probably won't hear me much in game. I needed it more for a dictation app I found.

    I know.... I don't think about it much, but when I do, it annoys me. Maybe I should go ahead and tell her off..... Then I can really put it behind me.

    I know you didn't ask for any advice, but I have so much that I have to let some out now and then:

On those occasions when I feel I have been done a great injustice, I write a letter to the aggrieving party. Sometimes it is brief, like "Fuck you in the ass. Strong letter to follow." But mostly I let it rip, giving them a piece of my mind and sometimes both pieces. Then I sit on it a day. I go back, delete some stuff that makes me sound like a whiny-ass bitch, throw in some stuff I probably should have mentioned in the first place. Then I sit on THAT for a day. Then I go back and review for sentence structure, spelling, and grammatical errors, adding one or two more morsels of searing wit that were left in reserve. Then I sit on that for TWO days. Then, typically, I elect to deprive the recipient of this splendid art. I mean, you know, fuck em' -- why also give them the pleasure of knowing they are worthy of any thought? So, even though there it sits, a chastisement of classic literary quality, I somehow still feel better. Besides, I can still send it any time I change my mind.

Reminds me of a limerick:

I was dining with the Dutchess of Lea
Who asked "do you fart when you pee?"
I replied with some wit
"Do you belch when you shit?"
And I felt that was one up for me.

Advice is always welcome. Sometimes, someone not so close to the situation can see things with better clarity, or has "been there" before, themselves.

Normally, a "slight" doesn't bother me. This is one of those rare cases where it does, because of the abuse of friendship, coupled with the "I'm entitled" attitude and worse, "I did nothing wrong" line of thought.

I've done what you suggested a time or two.... And usually, just writing it down works.

In this case, I REALLY want to drop the truth bomb on her. She fucked up my life real bad, and while I'm sure she will not accept any responsibility for anything, it's more about putting it all behind me, rather than anything else.

First, I was pretty specific about the circumstances -- nothing "in general" about it. Second, it wasn't about responding to posts at all. Third, you might have noted in a more sober state that I formulated THREE replies. And fourth, it often turns out it is never offered up as reply.

But, to be fair, I will give you several days to figure out how long it took to respond to your post.

    every time my rockets cause your body to explode sending you back to re spawn is a great injustice
