Patient 0 [Nov. 28th, 2009|07:58 am]
As I see a few people who caught concrud at MFF go and find out they got H1N1, makes you wonder who patient 0 was.

I hear other people bitch as say if you are sick.. to stay home..

But the way cons are going these days, they have made it were people won't.. Reason:

Non-refundable airfares and now all of a sudden, non-cancellable hotel rooms.

If I had $500+ on the line, and started feeling feverish the day before I was to leave.. I'd be doping up the tylenol and draggin my ass there.

Also, some may feel good on the day of travel, and then realize the next day they are sick, and by then it's too late.

Time flies [Nov. 23rd, 2009|10:17 pm]

Broken alarm clock. [Nov. 19th, 2009|09:18 am]
I was in a deep sleep when my alarm clock went off this morning, and I went to turn it off, but it would not turn off.. The switch seemed to of gone bad, and slamming it, or beating it and wigling would not get that switch to operate, to turn off the alarm. I was getting annoyed, as I feared my roomate might get annoyed with it going off at 3:30. Then I woke up.. and it turned off just fine.

getting older.. [Oct. 29th, 2009|03:32 pm]
After seeing a post in Santafox's LJ, I was pondering some things..

Fresh out of college, I would tear apart a car dash, and install any amount of car audio gear I could get my hands on or could afford, or whatever electronics I could cram into it..

I would collect any and every computer I could bet my hands on, whatever the OS or brand, or build frankenboxes..

But it seems as I get older, I find myself throwing away all the frankenbox stuff, buying a PC off the shelf and not blinging it, and settling for the factory stereo that come with the car.

What happens when we get older?  Do we just get bored with those things over time, and start to live a simpler life?  Or do we just learn to do things simpler and less complicated over time.

I can recall getting gung ho crazy when I first started in the job force, and I would run cables all over the place in an office space eager to get some gadget or gizmo hooked up, but as of today, I really need persuasion to even desire to pop a ceiling tile.

MFF room? [Oct. 20th, 2009|05:54 pm]
anyone got a slot for a roomie at MFF for thursday-monday?  I'm pondering slipping up to this, but only if I can get in the main hotel.  I have baggage of course, being a fursuiter, so would like to be in a room of no more than 4 people.

Getting the crap scared out of ya.. [Sep. 28th, 2009|11:28 pm]
Have you ever rolled over in the middle of the night and open your eyes and think someone is in your room standing over you??  Until you realize you hung your fursuit up to dry? X.X

Weird realization... [Aug. 22nd, 2009|07:49 pm]
I have never driven a car that was older than me..

The closest was like a 71-72 beetle..

I'm sure as a kid I've ridden in cars older than me.. But since driving age, I have not been in a car that was older than me.

This economy sucks.. [Aug. 18th, 2009|07:59 am]
Tax appraisals came in the mail, and my house is now appraised $20K below what I paid for it 8 years ago, so this is now lower than before the bubble. I am now way upside down with negative equity.

Roomate search is looking grim..

I'm sinking without a lifeboat.

Economic meltdown, here I come :P

Food Shopping Fail [Aug. 9th, 2009|01:28 pm]
Ever in a rush while food shopping, and while your brain is still trying to think economics, you grab a package of "beef hamburger patties" that for some reason you forgot to be sure it said "100%" beef patties...


Ugh.. These things are barely acceptable as dog food, with about the same texture.. They are made of beef hearts and soy fillers and crap.. put that on a bun, and there is no way one can even begin to swallow them without drowning them in ketchup. I don't even think I had burgers that bad back in grade school.

Only thing they are useful for on a barely tolerable level is to cook them up and put them in like a spaghetti sauce. They don't even cook like real beef :P

I usually am very good at avoiding these nasty things, but I guess my wallet was screaming for the better price and let my blinders forget to look for 100% beef X.X

Num8 [Jul. 11th, 2009|01:05 pm]
There is not much that can be done for the lost time and emotional turmoil we went through, as that can't be recovered.

If there is ever an attempt at financial restitution, rest assured, I have a spread sheet of all the people that contributed, and the amounts they contributed.  If Num 8 finds a means to re-pay, I will individually send the money back to any of you that have donated.  It might ultimetly come down to just loosing paypal fees in the transaction, but that will be better than a total loss. 

If there is "partial" repayments, I feel the best way to do that is perhaps start with those that donated the largest amount first  (like the $500, $200) donators, and pay them back all but like $20.   This way I can try to make the burden to be no more than $20 a person.   I think we all can afford to loose $20 worst case.. 

Believe me, I feel bad, that the trust of FPS and it's fans were breached..  It is going to suck that it is going to be harder to trust or willingly help out anyone in need in the future.

out of all this however, I have to applaud all of you that did donate, you sure showed your true colors..  that Furry as a whole is not a bunch of loosers, but there are still many threads of decency within..

Twitter Tweeets. [May. 4th, 2009|10:33 am]
-- crossposted from furryhams, for those over here in RX land.. --



I was sitting at my HF the other day, wondering if any fur was out there in DX land..  but always up to the question who is avail?  Who could be on the air?

Well, I despise twitter for most of the spam people dump into LJ with it, but theoretically, it is supposed to be able to send SMS messages out as well.

Well, I got to playing, and now on the furryhams.org website, there is a "cq tweet" option, that once you log into furryhams web site, you can send a tweet to the twitter user "Furryhams".  Well, so far, that part works..  I can see tweets posted..  so I assume all would work in theory..  My stump right now is that I have yet to see any SMS to my personal twitter account..  Perhaps I mis understood how twitter works?  I thought this would be a great way to announce to furry hams that you might be working a band, to alert people who might be near a radio and try to DX.

Any thoughts?

Furry Biking Daytona Plans. [Mar. 1st, 2009|12:22 pm]
Ok, plans are at this point, to meet at Bear Rock Cafe parking lot at 8am on Tues morning. (where the tuesday night events take place)  and hit I-4 from there.  If interstate traffic is looking heavy, perhaps delay a lil and get breakfast, to be determined once everyone arrives..  So far list of people going:

Yappy
KJ
Kataru
Laphin
Allison
Sporty
Farin

Pickup in St Augustine/meet up in Daytona..  Slyphox??

I suspect we will be visiting both Speedway for all the metric owners, as well as maybe braving the beach side/main st. for the Hogs.  I dunno if there is any interest in anyone going up to J&P, etc..

If anyone else is planning on going up, RSVP here, so we know you are coming. 

Also, anyone intersted on braving up there on Monday?  I have that day off as well, perhaps do the J&P stuff that day..  anyone??

You Are: 50% Dog, 50% Cat



You are a nice blend of cat and dog.

You're playful but not too needy. And you're friendly but careful.

And while you have your moody moments, you're too happy to stay upset for long.



That's what they say about foxes.. "Cat like Dogs" :>

Seeking Roomate... [Dec. 22nd, 2008|11:49 pm]
I have a spare bedroom in south east Kissimmee (Poinciana) that I'm looking to rent out. It includes the room with a walk in closet, and a private bath (with exception of when people come over). It also will include electric, water, sewer, and internet. One would have to put up with an internet puppet show every sunday night. I prefer a non-smoker, or a smoker that goes outside. Person would be best off with reliable transportation, as it is a remote location, unless you work in Kissimmee, Haines City or Davenport. There is bus service available Monday - Sat, but that can be kind of annoying with its links.


I don't want a deadbeat roomate either.. I can't afford to pay anyone's way right now, thus the reason I'm seeking a roomate.

Looking at $500 a month inclusive of the utilities, and help with yard work, as well as help with common consumables (toilet paper, laundry detergent, dish soap). Might negotiate the price down $50 a month, if you are willing to do all the yard work, which is mowing, edging, trimming, blowing.

Slobs need not apply.. I try to keep a clean house.. So do your own dishes and clean your own toilet!

Washer and Dryer also included.
