...nah, the toes are fine.
that's the rub, it's cheaper for me to get a vehicle than to pay for the first 6 months insurance (roughly 1,600$). Because I let everything lapse for more than three decades, I am considered a "new driver" again for insurance purposes.
as to relocating, even if I could afford it I wouldn't since I have a pretty good rental deal where I currently am at (which includes all basic utilities), and I like having everything I need with in walking distance or a short bike ride. Besides, I've always been a "city kid" and never really fit well with the suburban or rural lifestyle.
Anywho, the initial cost of insurance makes getting a vehicle, even a cheap one, pretty much moot as I don't have 1,500 - 1,600$ on hand to prepay the first 6 months (which is the requirement for opening a new policy, I've already checked into it).
...and here, I'd need to get something made before 1975 so it isn't subject to the "nitpicky" Oregon DEQ requirements, fees, and/or penalties. Not many cars from that era were very "reliable" (and they got really crappy mileage too).
It's just that most of the employment openings I am seeing (and which I might qualify for) tend to be more on the outskirts of town with multiple bus connections to get to. Have to thank the local tax structure for that, which has scared a lot of business out of the city to the burbs and in some cases, even out of state. I really don't care to go back to spending 4 hours (or more) a day just getting to and from work a good part of it standing around waiting for poor connections due to continual service reductions.
If there was some form of a car share that was cost effective for daily commuting which allowed for monthly subscriptions (even at twice the price of a monthly transit pass), I'd consider it since then, all I would need was the drivers licence as the insurance is already covered in the cost.
How long is that street?

A slow two minute slow walk, or three perhaps with a loaded supermarket trolly :lol:

That's right, you live down under. We call them a shopping cart or grocery cart.
I like supermarket trolly.
Hyyyydraaaa :D

Wow, and they complain about that? :bug: I used to walk with grocery bags in both arms about two miles one way when I was a kid (5th grade).

They have a lot of skeeters. And black flies, too. Although the Black Fly is New Hampshire's state bird. :lol: That's their joke, not mine. But when I was up in Carribasett Valley in northern Maine once, we stopped at a spot to watch a moose in a creek. I was almost flown away by these little black bugs that seemed to be burrowing into my skin! :ahhh:

Any and all change to routine is regarded with suspicion if not downright hostility :lol:
way to go :)
Crunchy squelchy leaves underfoot and a stiff south breeze whistling in eaves makes for a classic autumn experience :)
Now that I have done two horse freebies... what next. Hankering to do horse stuff. Hmmm.
Yeah, I don't know, I feel like this April is defective somehow, and I'd like it refunded. Where do I go to complain?
Submit a ticket to the Help Center. :lol:
Yeah, people get into trouble coming down Mt. Washington. They are on their brakes too much. One time, when we were going up, the driver pointed out someone who would be in trouble. The guy was splashing water on his brakes to cool them! The other way up to the summit is by the Cog Railway. If you like black soot in your face. It's a coal operated locomotive. It actually pushes the passenger cars up the mountain I think. Not sure about that, but I think that's what they say. It's not my preferred mode of travel, though.
For green mountains, it's Vermont. In fact, the main range there is called The Green Mountains. They are more rolling, gentle slopes. The mountains in the White Mountains region are more rugged. They still have plenty of trees. Washington's peak is above tree line. You go through three climate zones on that mountain. Near the top, the second oldest trees in the world grow very slowly. they are shorter than most adults and have been there for a very long time. You can see the change in the types of trees on the way up. In the winter, they convert several of the vans with treads that turn them into snow climbers. They don't go to the summit with them, that would be too dangerous. But they go pretty high and give amazing winter views. I haven't been able to try that yet, money has been lacking these past several years. We used to go up there for a long weekend in the Winter and another long weekend in the Spring. And then at least one week during the Summer or very early Autumn.
Massachusetts has some historical sites, yes. Not a long drive from here is Plymouth, or Plimouth Plantation. The Plymouth Rock (or what's left of it) is there and the Mayflower II (or is it III?), a replica of the original ship that landed there. And they have the plantation where people live and dress like the original pilgrims. Then there's Fall River (my old city) and New Bedford, not quite that old but historical nevertheless. Fall River was a big textile center for many years. There are still some of the old mills standing, though many have burned down. They burn quite hot. The wood floors were soaked with machine oil from the textile and/or sewing machines. Years ago, I was on my way home from work, and was on Rt. 195 when passing a little more than a block away from one that was burning. It was winter, my windows were closed, but I still felt the heat from the fire!!! That was big news that week. What's left have been converted to office buildings or housing. Some were shopping outlets, I don't know how many of those are left. Fall River also has the Battleship Cove, an historical museum area. There is the main ship, the Battleship Massachusetts, known as Big Mamie. There are several other WWII ships there, a submarine, a destroyer, a PT boat and I think a couple others. And there's a maritime museum. And an old restored carousel on the grounds of the waterfront park. About five or ten minutes walk up river and there's another waterfront park with a replica of the Iwo Jima memorial statue, with the six soldiers raising the flag. Raising the Flag on Iwo Jima I am told that one of those guys was a distant cousin of my family on my mother's side. And of course, New Bedford is known as the Whaling City and has still used fishing ports and fish industry. Then there's Salem north of Boston, famous for witch hunts and...well, you know. There is a path through Boston called the Freedom Trail that passes through some historic areas. I guess there's a lot of history in Boston.
OK, too much of me talking now.

Vermont comes from the French "vert mont" meaning green mountain...but maybe you knew that.
My Dad's Mom was named Verluna meaning green moon...you probably didn't know that. :)
hehe the shopping centre and supermarket at the end of my street is going to close for a rebuild, everyone is complaining they have to walk to the other shopping centre and supermarket at the other end of the street meantime - OMG the world as we know it is ending :lol:I have one Mom and Pop store a half mile walk from here. If it ever closes all us folks in Shady Grove will be SOL for chips, beer and cig's without driving all the way to the Highway as we squeal like pigs for the fun of it.
I've got a bud from the Sand Mountain area of Alabama. He's a big ol' boy about 6' 5" 280 pounds...just imagine what Jerry Garcia would've looked like if he were that big and you got the picture. He says "Roll Tide" a lot.
He's a teddy bear of a guy. :lol:
I didn't know either, thanks for the information!
Kyle: "Guys, we learned something today!" :)

When you put it that way, it's hard to imagine anyone would want to go there. :grrr:

It kind of works like this (for me): If you don't have or want a gf, aren't married, have no kids, are allergic to relationships, but still enjoy the company of pretty, educated women - then it's a good fit.
Dating sucks - too many demands and expectations - and most of the women my age are are looking to remarry (and I'd rather have sex with King Kong than get remarried). :ahhh: Finding someone interested in a semi-platonic relationship is well nigh impossible, leaving me with very few options - most WORSE than hanging out with strippers! :bug: :gulp:
About 15% of the strip clubs in the world are what I'd call "high end" - clean, safe, well-maintained and a bouncer in every corner (heh), in reasonable neighborhoods. The Yellow Rose is one of those, the place is amazing, like a high-end Vegas club. The bouncers don't put up with wannabe gangstas or drunk college kids, you misbehave after a warning and you're blacklisted. And heaven help you if you grope a dancer who tells you no, I've seen one bouncer (about six foot seven, 270lbs) literally pick a dude up by hisbelt and throw him out the door! :ahhh: And they'll call the cops, they have a good relationship with the Austin PD.
I spend my money, get intelligent conversation (and kick butt movie recommendations and suggestions on books to read), some nice woman gets tuition/rent/food money, we're all happy.
Exploitation happens, but rarely at high-end places as the cops keep a close eye on them. It' the seedier clubs you have to watch out for, the places in run-down buildings in bad neighborhoods. Avoid those.
Probably TMI ut I felt an explanation was in order.
The way your foot glows in the dark now would be very distracting for the strippers. :)
But it's great when I have to get up in the middle of the night - I don't have to turn the light one! :cheese: :cheese:
Unless the guy with the car wants you to squeal like a pig, then you gladly walk, even if it's uphill both ways.
Good point. :bug: :bug: I'd buy a cheap gas scooter and risk riding it! :bug: :bug:
Good day! Cold, high winds, storms here today. Brrr, it hit 45f last night!
This weather is messed up! :blank:

It went down to around 41here last night. We have been well below average for the week so far. Right now it's 47 and feels like 41.
I've been up all night working on a render...and DS crashed on me when I tried to render it. That's getting rather old now. It just went poof! Gone! >:-(
That's what I'm going to do...poof! I'm going to bed and try to get a couple hours of sleep anyway. This is silly, it's 8:33 am already! :long:

Complaint: Wanted to read an article on CivIV I loved a ton, and after the first page Avast blocked the page saying it was infected or something >_<<br /> Half the guy's site is throwing up these errors... ;__;
Thankfully the "Honorable French" article (My favorite. "You have CHOSEN UNWISELY!" xD) isn't giving me any warnings except for on page 5 which is whining about an infected jpeg.
I have no clue why it's doing this - I visited most of those pages within the last week ???
Avast's never thrown up false positives before (FireFox's built-in safety thing has plenty of times though), so I'm a little reluctant to test it and see - as much as I wanna read those games again. They were fun :(
...
*sighs* I just took a peek at the "Eastern Gem Dealers" game variant (Another real fun one, and very informative strategy wise) and it is throwing up the "ZOMG THIS IS MALWARE!!1!" warning too *weeps*
Anyway. That being said, I also have a non-complaint: A drawing :D
Was using a pic of a young komodo as reference originally... Then I started getting distracted, ended up deleting the ref pic layer (><) and then started adding snake elements to the mouth. The end result was some weird hybrid!</p>
:cheese:
.php tutorials haz no horseys?

do a litl dance, make litl luv, get down t'nite, la la :)
i'm feeling a mood to make some strip/dancer renders. did they ever fix the post flags?
popping out of cakes, or strip/dancer/fairies popping out of cupcakes :)
Flags remain unfixed.
That's the problem.
There's so many of them!
And the one which seems that it is right already told me "Not our problem, yes, it is not fair, but it is not our problem and that's the way the world is."
Complaint: one hour before I have to go to the docs for D-Rays an foot prodding and poking. Hopefully no cutting, stabbing, or needles. Will miss a huge block of time in the middle of the day, and I'm having to work long boring hours and get home late to make up for it
Non-complaint: my hurt foot fits in a normal shoe again! Sure, it's a 1/2 size larger, but it FITS! :cheese: :cheese: This means once I get the go-ahead I can just pop on the new shoes I bought last month and I'm good to go! :coolsmile:
Minor annoyance: windy ad cold outside, so not going to be a fun sit at the bus stops going and coming... :-S
Best with all that medical stuff groover. We haz some of your chill today :)
