The pony is quite correct in this regard.

Anyone not being brutally tortured by a Cardassian knows that there are five.

At the very least!

Anyway... I'm going to bed. I can read these things tomorrow when Mynxae is here.
Good night everyone!

Or maybe not... Some of them are creepy...

Remember Mynxae! I'm expecting you before twelve!

The awkward moment when I just replied to his PM before checking this saying I'll be there after twelve.

Guess I'll just have to magic up some clean clothes.

EDIT: Good news everyone! I found clean clothes.

A thought I just had:

Not enough snow for that yet, unfortunately.

Unfortunately, if I recall, the amount of snow you can afford is zero

I just got paid though! And since my boyfriend moved in, I pay less rent, 'cause it's shared!

Devmaar · 10-22-2012, 12:06 PM

But I imagine the shipping costs would be significant

You can't ship two people already in a relationship. That ruins the whole point of shipping.

That sounds awesome except...

It would be unbelievably expensive, yes. I know that from where I am to where Cobra is is 250 dollars shipping for a webcam sized object. I imagine a cooler full of snow will be a luxery prize object.

Cross country shipping is...kind of unbelievably expensive. IF you do it yourself. Therefor, I'm pretty sure if I went to, say, Ebay or Amazon, the shipping would...maybe be cheaper? I'm not sure, does anyone who is a smart person have any answers for me?

True. Sounds like when I got my Blizzard Authenticator (for WoW and the like), the Authenticator itself was about $6AU. Shipping was like.. $30? $40? And it's the size of a thick pea pod.

Cobra_Ikari · 10-22-2012, 01:16 PM

If I remember right, it was closer to $180 US. Unless that converts to $250 Canadian or something? Which would be crazy. ._.

I'm pretty sure part of the reason it's so expensive is that both Zodi and I live somewhat in the middle of nowhere. IIRC, our towns are both in the 20,000 population range, and located several hours away from any major population center. For example, when I go to visit her, it'll be 3 hours of driving, then something like 18 hours between the 3 flights and layovers in the airports between them before I arrive in Zodiville. Hazards of small town living.

But that's just us living on opposite corners of the same continent. I don't even want to imagine how much it'd cost to ship to the opposite side of the planet. >.<

It occurs to me that my sister's cat drinks in a somewhat-unusual way: she dips her front paw into the water until it's nice and wet, brings it up to her face, and licks it off. Sometimes she drinks normally, but I see this behavior from her more often than not, and it's not something I've seen another cat do.

Anyone else see that sort of behavior, perhaps from an older cat?

Once or twice. I've also seen the same cat do this with canned cat food in the past when she was more middle-aged than old.

I actually don't think I've seen her do either since she officially became an old cat around 12 or so and she's somewhere between 16 and 20 at the moment. But I also haven't lived with the cat in quite some time as well, so I've only seen her do anything a couple of times when I've visited.

LordShotGun · 10-22-2012, 03:39 PM

Quite a mood whiplash past couple weeks.

Finally moved out of the house and am now on my own. Found a nice little house within my starving college student budget but it held a dark surprise.

While setting up my electric and water, the electric company alerted me that the previous occupant had an outstanding ~$1200 dollar amount owed and that that amount would need to payed to turn the lights back on.

Reasonably alarmed at this news I tried to call the power company but got nothing but automated responses until I eventually lied and said that I had a downed power line to report and THAT got me a live person.

Anyway, within 10 minutes of talking to a real person I got everything straightened out and my new account set up free and clear. The person did warn me that I may get a statement asking for the $1200 but that I should return the postage with a "Person Deceased" on the envelope.

So I went from happy, to alarmed, to relieved, to worried that now I could possibly have the lights turned off at any moment when someone notices that this address has a delinquent bill and they don't bother to check that someone ELSE is now living there.

Shouldn't the landlord have been notified of this?

Might want to check her eyes?

The previous owner was an old man who had died and the bank owned the house.

MoonCat · 10-22-2012, 04:59 PM

Oh, hey guys. Didn't do much today.

I mean, I did correct my English teacher and my history teacher (widely recognized as the scariest teacher in the school, to the point where some of the more slacker teachers are scared of her) as well as get asked if I actually go home and read the dictionary for seven hours straight for fun...

But, hey not much else.

LaZodiac · 10-22-2012, 05:03 PM

That sounds awesome! Most of it, anyway.

Coidzor · 10-22-2012, 05:03 PM

Corrected them on what and what exactly yielded the dictionary discussion, Moonikins?

Granted, I did actually make a project of reading an exhaustive dictionary from front to back when I was younger.

I believe I was about a third of the way through when I discovered the Wheel of Time series and got bogged down by that and then girls. Pity, was going to follow that up by reading the entirety of the Encyclopedia Britannica just to be able to say that I had done so.

...Actually, IIRC, I think I was reading the Wheel of Time before I'd even really registered Harry Potter as existing. No wonder my development was so sideways at times, haha.

Weird, but good luck with that, Lordshotgun, whose name I approve of.

History teacher, the scariest? Damn, I would hate that school. I debate and speak with them often, I enjoy most history classes (but ya know, only if they believe in freedom). But that is a weeeeird question. Cuz i mean, some people, mr teacher, just have a decent vocabulary. (gasp!)
