Well, I could start 14 right now if'n ya want.
"Just let any one say I chose the wrong man or the wrong house, and you can stop at thirteen and have all the bad luck you like, or go back to digging coal." ~Gandalf, The Hobbit, Chapter 1.
I think I may have poked a Roman hornet's nest, but it's still too early to know the consequences yet. ;^)
The one I'm watching now (Fullmetal Alchemist) is great. But it's not available in the US, only through fansubs. I believe you have a cookie-ethics problem? If you don't, I'll bake you a set...
Ooh, try "Fruits Basket", though I think that was written for teenage girls who like angst. But I love it. The first two seasons of Rurouni Kenshin are incredible, possibly the best anime I've ever seen, but the third is lame.
Do you have anyone's email address, in case you get banned?
How're the kids? I bet your daughter would love Fruits Basket... on second thought there was a little, um, crossdressing... they were all weird. On the whole I think it's a safe anime, though.
Durn, we gotta go! I bet average salaries are a bit too low however. ;-(
My lucky number!
Cool, new thread! :)
Anyway you were saying:
"No, they told me I'd have to go to the UPS or Post Office to get the packages."
Yeah, that's what I meant by the delivery guy leaving a stickie: he leaves a Post-It note notifying you that the package has arrived at the post office and you can come and pick it up.
Cutting back on Amazon purchases does sound like a good idea, though--in theory of course. "I agree with you--in theory. In theory, Communism works--*in theory*!" (Homer J. Simpson)
I have access to ecurbh's Hobbit Hole site and the Yahoo site if anything goes down, but I don't think it will.
The kids are doing great. My daughter and wife are at teen camp this week down in the Keys so the boys and I are bachelors this week. My oldest son starts football practice today, so I'm interested in seeing how he does. This is his first year playing and they are going to have to cut some kids after the first seven practices because way too many signed up.
Saved ya from the first new thread thread-kill.
Does your apartment complex have a place to receive packages? David found a place that does that. It will come in handy because we're gonna ship some stuff out there that should arrive within a day or two of his arrival!
Excellent! You gonna make it to g'nadmoot 05? I could bring my Rurouni Kenshin disks and we could have a real animefest...
Nope, they don't accept packages at all. The only downside to the place I've found so far.
Oh, tell Clare that "Fullmetal Alchemist" kept me up way too late last night. When is she going to be on-thread again, anyway, we need her to be our informer on things anime.
We had looked into getting a dish network just to have access to some educational stuff, but we didn't see anything that we particularly liked better than what we put together ourselves.
"Saved ya from the first new thread thread-kill."
Thanks--appreciate it :)
"Mmm--thread-kill. . ."
Hey g'nad. Jen's bringin' targets fer Shootmoot.
Eep. Note to self: do not let Corin near my personal belongings.
