Mike let me put my foot out the window for two minutes
Category:

And that is true love.

I would totally put my feet out the window. It is so liberating.

Mike, how would you know if you can't stand it or not unless you try it. I say just do it for 1 minute and replicate 100x times at least. Record how many times you felt gross, how many times you felt okay and how many times you felt completely disgusted. Now repeat the experimental setup for 3 minutes, 5 minutes and fall back to 2 minutes. In the last experiment record feelings of loss (like how much of a loss you felt now that you could only put it out 2 min and not 5 min on a scale of -10 through 10. -10 would mean: "It was not a loss. It was a gain, dummy."(I am pretty sure that would be a 10 for me, for sure but you have to be honest. I am not influencing your answer here.)

And oh, and just record everything on a CSV file and email it to me. I will do some pretty graphs and assess your true feelings of contentment or discontent ... and maybe publish it in PNAS. Don't worry about attribution. I promise to acknowledge you and David in gushing words.

The fact that you posted this makes me never want to let you do that again! it is so gross! I don't know why but I 100% cannot stand when people put their feet out of car windows

I think this is an awesome idea but I don't like the idea of being in it or near it while it is happening.

Life
Mike and I had to move cause our lords wanted us out to make the house into a single family home and I never found a house to buy. Now we are both unhappy and separate and having major adjustment issues. Things could be worse and they are.

It's so much easier when you have really awesome friends and family. We need you so much more than you know. I'm sorry for not being as good a friend as you all are to me. I love you all, we love you all!

leetee - 06/20/14 09:44
I'm so sorry to hear that there's been a few bumps in the road lately. Glad to hear, however, that you have had awesome support from friends and family. Good luck. Sending along some positive energies!
libertad - 06/18/14 22:14
Thanks guys. I really appreciate all the support and love from everyone.
Dianne - 06/18/14 20:59
You're an incredible friend that I'm blessed to have in my life, you both are! Y'all are going to be great, things will work out, and you're right, you have each other and a bunch of friends that love you!!
paul - 06/18/14 09:04
Ya hope it gets better soon and that you find the house of your dreams.
libertad - 06/18/14 00:38
Thanks tiny!
tinypliny - 06/18/14 00:34
Things will get better gradually! Sending you a zillion of the best vibes!

how'd I get on this Korean mailing list?
Category:

maybe cause the vp is white?

tinypliny - 06/04/14 05:33
Totally. Last name association.
mike - 06/03/14 23:00
I really think it is because your last name is Moon
metalpeter - 06/03/14 22:54
I don't know all I can say is 2 things
-I've seen ads on US TV for them so that could have something to do with it
-Is it possible that they got the names from the Buddhist group you are part of (I don't know much about it if it is Korean but maybe they think you would want to go to Korea)

Who knows how people get on lists .....

my first bid on a house
Category:

I bid on a house on Lafayette and west ave. I lost the bid to a buyer paying cash. I did have a good vision for the home.

Mine got away. But I am not sad, it just made me hopeful that someday I will meet someone like him. :-)

Try not to be discouraged. People find their dreamhomes in even the toughest of markets. It's all about being in the right place at the right time, and you have to stay in the market to make that happen. Things usually work out the way they do for a reason, so don't worry too much when the one you think you want gets away. (I guess that applies to not only house hunting, but in dating too.) Sometimes there are things wrong with houses (and men) that are not apparent on the surface, and not getting what you think you want could be the best thing that ever happened to you.
libertad - 05/22/14 13:57
@exbuf, you have no idea, it's insane, I feel so discouraged. Property values are skyrocketing everywhere on the West Side. Last year I probably could have gotten it for $45k based on sales of similar homes in the area. Actually there is going to be a story about the current housing market in the Buffalo News very soon and I will be quoted in it. This house does look like a wreck but it actually had a lot of charm and it had one of the best foundations I have ever seen. I'm contemplating dropping out of the market and waiting to see if it balances out.
ExBuffalonian - 05/22/14 12:39
Wow, If that sold for $55K cash, then property values have really gone up dramatically in Buffalo since I bought my first house there about 11 years ago. Mine was a double on West Tupper between Maryland and Virginia Streets, and it needed zero fixing up. In fact, it had original hardwood floors, pocket doors, leaded glass windows, and amazing original woodwork. All that for only $74K. I still miss that house. My new house in Baltimore set me back five times that, literally, and has just a fraction of the charm and none of the history.
libertad - 05/22/14 07:21
Yeah it is but I think it would have been worth it. It was sold for 55k.
paul - 05/22/14 00:01
Wow that's a real fixer upper.
