Stylish comback, stylishly late!! Anyone miss me?
I notice we're talking about the first FFF.net folk we met in real life... I have to say it was Verse Explorer who lives in Arizona, but on the basis of our friendship here on FFF.net she booked a one week trip all the way to Melbourne & we were like 2 peas in a pod! She is, & always will be my Kaylee-clone! Such a precious friendship, which has been growing ever since! Vex has also visited me here in London & I have spent time with her on 3 occasions at D*C! So precious to find that down time to just be with someone who is so very special to me!
Going to Dragon*Con was amazing!! Being met by Jimi-bear AKA RiverismyGoddess, who literally picked me up, alongside Ken (who's online name escapes me at the moment) & Birddog at the Airport in Atlanta, & also Canter who had arrived from South Africa the day before me! Spending time with Jimi & his boys in Georgia... spending time with his parents, as well, whom I still count as friends... then Dragon*Con was incredible! Phoenix Rose, with whom I had spent hours on the phone, literally glomped me in the foyer of the Hyatt! The Scotts, Navy & AB Mick!
That was so amazing - it felt so natural & right to hang out with folk I'd never met in person but with whom I was completely at ease after long time spent getting to know each other online! My first trip to the USA! Hanging out with my li'l sister, MsA & her wonderful NVG!! Sharing beds, as Roxy mentioned!! Drinking rum! Eating the rich, generous servings of American food! Most of all just being with people I felt I was family with!
I've met folk from around Australia, the UK & all over the USA through this fandom! I have additional family in New England after a 2 year relationship with Naughtyman, from FFF.net & I'm God mother to NVG & MsA's precious little browncoat boy! I have found "twin brothers" who share my birthday (give or take a year or two) & I have visited & stayed with browncoats from FFF.net who wouldn't have dreamed of just letting anyone stay with them! Mavoureen, ummmm Erin, who's online name I forget as well, sorry & of course Little Albatross! Some of my dearest friends in the world are people I first me on FFF.net! Can you all believe it's 10 years today since this site launched! Haken has done an amazing job!
My favourite Shakespeare comedy is also Much Ado About Nothing, but I was in a great production of A Midsummer Night's Dream once & I also have a special place for that in my heart!

Ponder: So now with the page system of the new boards is the Johnny Mandate null and void?

Hmmm, maybe we could update it once a month?
Also, where is everyone??

I think it's spring break season, right? I don't have kids so I'm not sure. That's where I assume they've gone though.

I personally hate the new multi page system with a passion, it makes things way slower for me. But I know lots of people like it, so I guess the good of the many outweighs the good of the few.
I assume you're my pal until you let me know otherwise.

Yes spring break... sorry
Anyway ponder how do you deal with co-workers that suck at their job and consequently cause epic problems you have to deal with?

Make fun of them behind their back and complain about them to my family. It doesn't seem to solve the problem though. I take solace in the thought that they're layoff fodder.

Spring break sucks.
Anyway here's one for you guys. There's this friend of a friend here who's awful with money and seemingly delusional. She is a stay at home uh...aspiring author I guess. Her husband works crazy hours and they just barely squeak by. Anything unexpected that comes up usually throws them into panic mode. Anyway the recent drama is that they move apartments every year because the complexes usually try to raise your rent if you want to stay. So, she's come up with the genius plan of buying a house to avoid the rent issue. She seems to think they can get a house under 200,000 with a $500 mortgage. They plan to "save" for a year to make the down payment. There isn't a snowballs chance in hell they're saving 20% of 200,000 in a year. If they go crazy they might be able to save 7,000 but even that will never happen. My friend suggested to her that if she really wants to buy a house that she probably needs to get a job. She threw that out saying they can afford a $500/month mortgage and they already have a plan to save the down payment.
Would you say it's best to just let stuff like that go and not worry about it? Let them figure out it's not going to happen on their own? She clearly doesn't want to hear about the flaws in the plan or any other plan that's more likely to succeed.
