What made you decide to finally go cold turkey on staff?
Yay.
The site needs someone who can fix things like malware & bad code. I was never given that access, & Hannes seems to have dropped off the face of the planet. That, plus this nonsense & what it means for the future of the site (or lack thereof). . . I just had to step away. This community is insane/toxic/self-destructive, it's exhausting even just to watch. . . but I've already done the site-waddles-on-while-site-crumbles-to-dust at MiseTings. Only so many times I can post "we can do nothing" while people sling butthurt & ignore what is right in front of them.
9909, I think you've created enough drama now that you'll fit right in here. No need to change your posting style to fit in, they often don't understand what I'm on about either
Well Ria, hope this lets you enjoy the site more. The drama is only drama because people want it to be. I've completely ignored it and didn't even know it was happening. Well that, and I've been camping for weeks on end. Water bottle had an inch of ice in it the other night, getting a bit cold. Anyway, now you can relax and chill with your bros.
@9909. Our clan's a little slow right now, but I wouldn't say its going under just yet. If you are interested I would like to see more posts from you to get to know you a little better. Our previous conversations did not leave me with a positive impression of your demeanor. Perhaps getting to know you better would alleviate that.
Luck Bailed? When was this and why? I suppose we should get that batcave back up and working. S_P and HkKid would probably show up there from time to time.
Good news. I got the job. I'm now working at the V bar V ranch for the University of Arizona!! It's a term, one to two year job, and I'll be doing a whole slew of different types of research projects and outreach and whatever. Pay is the most I've ever had, which isn't saying much at all...but still good. By my projections, I should be able to financially break even in a little over two years. Hazzah!

And I guess that I'm a lucky one for the truth of what I know. For my heart had not denied me and I have somewhere to go. I shall never be a prisoner of steel and glass and stone. If I leave, I will return again to my Rocky Mountain home.
You guys just needed one more poster, and hadn't even to my knowlege, received the warning of clan termination thing. I knew one of ya'll would poke in before it became serious.
I knew it wouldn't, but I'm glad to see nothing serious happened. As the oldest clan on Sally, if you guys ever did retire the green, it would be a bad omen for the clans forum. I'm glad nothing like that is relevent.
I know nonclannies aren't exactly welcomed in here on a regular basis, and I respect that. I do keep up with the thread though. I just wanted to say I'm happy the Called isn't going anywhere. I'll slink back to my normal lurking.
I hope everyone has an enjoyable Halloween, if you celebrate/observe it.
We actually have six active members...which is a far cry from our original 13 member limit concept. We all tend to have a lot of priorities outside of the forums, especially since most of us don't play nearly as much magic as we did 10 years ago. So we are borderline inactive slow, but if we do get close I'll just phone up one of the guys and tell him to post more. It's not like we've gone months with inactivity. Worth keeping an eye on though.
Congrats to Ria for actually taking time to enjoy the site. Moderatorship, especially the higher ups, can drive a man insane.
So...I'm considering buying a house. I saw some paperwork somewhere that tells me that buying a house will have a monthly payment of around $500. In that area, renting a room will cost me around $600 a month. So...buying is cheaper than renting.
Problems:
1) I've never done this before
2) Getting a loan is painfully difficult since my work history has almost 10 jobs in the last 10 years (which is a bad thing?) and this current job has a known one to two year limit...with possible extension.
Not sure what sort of grandiose expectations these guys have. I mean this job lasts for a full blown year...I've never had one of those. Thats gotta mean something good right?
Cheers,
Daggertooth

And having a job that's not seasonal is great, but you have to know that the fact that you had 10 jobs in 10 years isn't exactly all bad. You've gained a lot of experience on different matters... Now, it may be time to cash out on that
Well it is great...untill you are trying to get a loan and they want to know how stable and reliable you are. There's a loophole in logic I can play with though, I can tell them I was a student for the past 3 years. Stability for the win! Never mind the four or so jobs during that time.
I just got finished talking to a lender. My credit scores are awesome, my debt to income ratio is attractive, and I have some cash to put down. But...
------------------------
Lender: ....hmmm, there's this red flashing light here telling me that you are living on unemployment right now.
Me:
------------------------
It does sound like things are in my favor. But I need to work for a month before they can file my paperwork. Which means I need to find an apartment anyway. ...part of me thinks that a few more months and I can have a big down payment, but a few more months beyond that then I don't even need a place cause I can just move out.
Also, it doesn't tether me that bad. Of course I can pick up and head wherever. I just need to find renters or sell the house. Thats easy...right?

Selling a house? in this Economy? I don't think so. I know that in Portugal it's a Pipe Dream. Things are bound to be better in the US, but I think they are still bad enough to make it hard to sell a house.. But maybe an American can give you more accurate info on that.
Arizona was actually one of the hardest hit states in the union. There are entire cities that has 3/4 of their homes forclosed on with the rest underwater. But that just makes things a buyers market for me. Probably the main reason I'm considering it. First time home buying credit plus historic low interest rates...well I guess I don't want to miss out.
As for selling...well hopefully the house market improves in the two years I'm living in the house. If not, well if its an attractive house I could probably still market it. I'd rather rent, but I don't know the long term probabilities of renting. The area I'm moving to is a hotbed of seasonal work, so If I rent I might not get people there for half the year.
Honestly, the thing thats making me the most hesitant is the idea of furnishing the house. Couches, dishwashers, laundry, beds, and other items are kind of needed...and I could really care less about buying them. Maybe I'm just hesitant to move beyond my primitive lifestyle of owning only whats in my hyundai. Or perhaps I'm rushing too fast and hard to get out of that lifestyle.

I've been so exhausted lately I went to the doctor on Monday and had to get a blood test - checking for Glandular Fever (mono), liver and kidney function, iron levels, thyroid function, and diabetes too I think. Got a call this afternoon saying he wanted me to come back in to discuss the results and I'm a bit scared. Hope I can find time with work and everything!

Take care of yourself and good luck with the tests. Hopefully its nothing.
If the doctor says it is something, take it with a grain of salt and get a second opinion. I don't trust doctors. They mean well, but they'll assume its the most likely disease based on the symptoms and hope for the best. Or maybe they'll make stuff up.
I once went to a university doctor because I was having diarea every morning and was worried that I might have stomach parasites. Probably watched too much of that "monsters inside me" show about random parasites. Blood tests, stool samples, and all sorts of tests later and the doctor gives me a clean bill of health. I was surprisingly healthy. He then gave me three options. 1) Take harsh pills anyway to kill anything in the gut even though nothing was detected. 2) go down town and get a second opinion. 3) Maybe you have AIDS and should go and get an expensive tests. ...those options, from a clean bill of health. Talk about giant leaps. I went and got a second opinion. Turned out I was drinking way too much coffee. X_X

I went 2-2 in Legacy (made some crucially bad misplays - Tezzerator runs Agent of Bolas, not The Seeker, Cabal Therapy!) but nabbed a Vraska in my prize booster, yay! She is still $20 here so I was happy. I went out afterwards with a friend to a Korean place and drank a lot of beer. Super fun night!
Glad it isn't horrible charlie...though a second opinion might still be worth it if you continue feeling symptoms. I've had friends leave hospitals with broken bones after the doctor told them it was only a sprain.
Daggertooth. . . the Homeowner? Also wacky. I imagine a yurt on several hundred acres of fire-managed wilderness
That would be great. But no, my mom has highly recommended a 3 bedroom 2 bath home...and she made a very compelling case for buying something like that. I'm probably looking at houses that are priced at between $100,000 and $150,000....which is a bit daunting and will take a few months to get enough money for a 3% down payment. I would love to make a higher down payment...but that line of thought leads me thinking of my debt and what caused it and..well...thats just not fun.
I am now moved in Arizona. Got a room, sight unseen, and....I might be regretting it. The room itself is huge and has a decent view, but it's not attached to a bathroom or kitchen...to get to the bathroom I have to go around the house and there really is no kitchen. For $300 a month I figured I could live with that...but there's $140 in utilities, which leads me to think that $440 in these conditions is a bit overpriced. Ah well, worst case scenario is I live here for four months and move again.

Hey Dux, you okay? I remember 4 years ago you were a bit unhappy about the results of the election.
Anyone else's facebook go up in a thunderous cloud of angst, anger, and cheers? Its been a whirlwind of all sorts of stuff for me....I've kinda stayed away from some since emotions are high...and being playful and apathetic can be dangerous when emotions are high. Lots of people unfriending others over whatever.
I did post a rant on the results...but it was on election day before the results were read. Easy enough to complain about the stuff both Obama and Romney agreed on, and I thought it was funny and Ironic to bitterly complain about both in the same breath with the same stuff. Didn't expect some of the angry retorts...but jokes on them if they didn't realize i was talking about both candidates.
I am annoyed with the Republican party. I think they lost an opportunity here. I blame the fringe portions of the tea party...but then everybody is blaming everybody else so plenty of finger pointing.

I saw that, a lot of people ready to pounce on you, Dt, either forgetting the razz you were handing out to all sides or just blinded by bloodlust, I couldn't tell. Clearly they couldn't see how your post was wide enough to hit both candidates. Srs bsns :mad::mad::mad: etc

I did stumble over a really scary twitter feed of ignorance collected. At first I was ho ho lol but it quickly made me feel that special deep shame that being part of the human race always seems ready to provide.

Well some people are rather sensitive. Funny thing was, a friend of mine shared it with his Ron Paul crowd and the next 50 posts were all jokes about how similar the two candidates were. :-p guess how people took the comment depended on what crowd you ran with.
Still getting all sorts of sad posts from my republican friends. Mostly in the form of psudo-patriotic anti-president propaganda. Guess they are taking it about as hard as I took Bush's re-election. Fun stuff, that.
Had my first day of work today. Just a bit of an orientation with reading papers for most the day. Standard 8 hour day...got home at 4pm. Kinda miss the campfire, the tents, and my crew family just chilling. Bored...guess I'll just find something on netflix.
