@BioBear: You'll be missed man. Who else is gonna talk about cars?

@Omicron: That's bollocks. Gotta love when courts/DMVs/bureaus tell you it'll cost X for something and when you go it turns out its X+Y or 2X.

@minfigCharmed: Visiting Cali and seeing family? A good weekend indeed. Enjoy!

I'll miss ya, too, CB. You were one of the first people on here I befriended.

@Hikaro: You have a new mattress and some mahogany shelves coming to you courtesy of your pal Napo.

Thanks!

BTW, I'm going up to New York City with my fiance tomorrow.... The plan is to go see the Statue of Liberty (we already pre-purchased tickets, so no waiting for us) and check out Chinatown. This is my first actual trip to NYC, not including the time I drove through it to go to a steampunk convention in Bridgehampton (Long Island).

On the housing front: Apparently because it's a forecloseure, the bank that owns it (Wells-Fargo) has a requirement that I get PRE-APPROVAL from THEM, even though I ALREADY HAVE A PRE-APPROVAL from another bank for an amount that is TWENTY-THOUSAND DOLLARS MORE than what I'm offering.

I can't think of anything more retarded in my life... Oh well, guess I gotta jump through a whole bunch more hoops THAT I REALLY SHOULDN'T HAVE TO because the execs at Wells-Fargo are a bunch of drooling morons who couldn't pour urine out of a boot even if you had instructions printed on the heel!

Anyways, I just got word my Brickforge order shipped, so that's definitely a plus.

You DROVE through NYC?

Good heavens, that must've been a horror movie.

That.

That is the dictionary definition of awesomeness.

That's the message I got from Blizz after my account got hacked. What's funny is that the entire process took less than 24 hours. I got an email yesterday saying that my password had been changed, clicked on the recovery link, and they fixed it right away. Totally not a stock message

Love this quote. I may have to remember/borrow it. So tell us, how do you really feel?

Yeah...driving in/through New York City isn't that bad for the most part. No worse than any large city.

Sure, why not

It is -the- large city. :P

At least in the US.

This is true. God, I miss it/the east coast in general.

Never been to the East Coast. Barely even go to the West Coast. Stupid landlocked states.

Yeah, it was pretty bad... The only time I've run into comparable traffic was when I drove past LA on my way to visit my uncle in St. George, UT when I was stationed in San Diego, and of course, whenever there's a wreck on I-81 in the Carlisle/Mechanicsburg/Harrisburg area (one time it took me 45 minutes to go a mile thanks to a major collision involving a tractor-trailer and a delivery truck between Carlisle and Mechanicsburg).....

Thanks, but I can't really take credit for that qoute: A more strongly worded version is one of David Weber's favorites for characters in his various books to describe someone who is terminally stupid.

...And if I told you how I REALLY felt, I'd get banned.

Isn't there always something in that region? Any time I've been through there it always seemed to have some issue or delay.
