Sheesh.

So Mikayla is getting an MRI on her knee right now. Tomorrow she goes to see the orthopedist to have it checked out. I hope she gets some physical therapy prescribed so her knee doesn't come out again. :/

the day is going torturously (sp?) slow. we leave for maine at 1:00pm today...meeting all of austin's extended family...i'm kind of excited...they're all witness...plus his uncle has a big speed boat! i'm really excited about tubing/wake boarding...but i feel like i'm gonna have to be on high alert to "impress" them all. ehh, we'll see.

g.f.s.rocks #43.1 g.f.s.rocksOG 2001

Where in Maine is his family from? What town?

tesoro #43.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

they live in scarborough maine, not far from portland. a whole bunch of italians up there...the family name is Sanfino.

tesoro #42 tesoroOG 2001

question: when my sister-in-law gets married, would her husband be my brother-in-law? or would it just be my sister-in-law's husband?

coreyfeldman #42.1 coreyfeldmanOG 2003

brother-in-law through marriage, maybe?

tesoro #42.1.1 tesoroOG 2001

the only way to have a bro/sis in law is through marriage.

coreyfeldman #42.1.1.1 coreyfeldmanOG 2003

haha, yeah, i guess you're right

malibu #42.2 malibuOG 2001

i'd call him my step brother in law. like he is a brother in law but its like there is a lil connection missing. so just through in the step. i call my sisters mother in law my step mother in law. or if ya wanna just show how close you guys would be ya could just say brother in law and leave it at that. cuz you all are family now.

tesoro #42.2.1 tesoroOG 2001

well, she's really not getting married, it was kind of a hypothetical question...i just never get how those sort of things work...like "my second cousin twice removed" i have no idea what that means.

oh man this is awesome. thanks!

specialk #42.3 specialkOG 2003

I've always just said brother in law....it's easier, for one. And it doesn't make him feel excluded, like he's sort of family, but not quite, hahaha.

web-toedchloe #42.4 web-toedchloeOG 2001

sister-in-law's husband. The in-law relation only works for one linking person, if you know what I mean.

specialk #41 specialkOG 2003

I have an interview tomorrow for the job I want...it's not in the hospitality field, like I had initially wanted, but it is a good job, pays well, and has GREAT benefits. So if I get it, at least we'll be covered until Adam gets a job.
Plus, it's less than 10 minutes from my house, and will allow me to either take Tyler to or from school, or both, AND I won't have to work nights or weekends. SCORE!!
I'll let you know how it goes.

flomojopoanode #41.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

Wow, K! That's great! Sounds just about perfect. I hope that it allows time for service, and I hope it works out!

socalgal #26.3 socalgalOG 2003

aye pobrecito. por que tienes que ir a la corte...si me puedes decir.

flomojopoanode #26.3.1 flomojopoanodeFounder

si, si, yo puedo. Early in August 2004, I went to 2 Conventions. I knew I had to work at mine, so I decided to attend 2. 1 to pay attention. The other to work. My friend Toby had his in Philly, so we went together. He saw his x-g/f there and refused to go any more. So I stayed at my uncle's house and went alone on Saturday morning. I was running late--my uncle kept stalling me. Not that I blame either of them.

Also, I refused to make my aunt and uncle make me lunch, so I had to stop. So by the time I got to philly, the assembly was JUUUUUUUUSSSSST about to begin. It was probably 8:54am when I passed the Liacors Center (however that's spelled).

Anyway, when I went to park, I was waiting at a red light waiting to turn. There were three lanes going in the same general direction as me, and 3 coming the other way. It seemed as though the far right side, and far left sides were being used for parking.

So as I waited at the light, I waved to the parking attendant brother. When the light turned green, I jumped out ahead of the 3 lanes of traffic (one of which was being used for parking.) The first two lanes waited for me. Then this lady passed everyone (on their right, without a license, too...) and slammed right into the back passenger side door of my car. My car was pushed up onto the curb into the brother who was the attendant, and he went flying.

B
#26.3.1.1 brothermanOG 2004

Oh man...Is he ok? I assume the woman is in trouble not you?

web-toedchloe #26.3.1.2 web-toedchloeOG 2001

So what are they charging you with? Reckless driving?

B
brothermanOG 2004

Wait, if the woman hit him and passed on the right and had no license, then how can Todd be charged with anything? I don't get it.

iwz iwz

i think they said it was his fault, it's retarded.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

well, it was considered no one's fault.

It's the other driver. She's suing me, which is retarded. She got a ticket for not having a license. You'd think that'd be enough. But the courts dismiss the fact that she shouldn't have been driving at all. They try to figure out who was at fault.

The brother who got hit was okay...but he really got his knee and hip messed up. I've never felt worse. I seriously was crying, I felt horrible. I wanted to go to the hospital with him and see if he was okay. He was just laying on the ground. The dent in my car from his body was huge. I feel that much worse for his poor wife having to hear that her husband was just hit by a car. ugh. I'm getting depressed thinking about it.

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

awww hun, i'm SO sorry. I feel so bad. its totally retarded for her to even be suing when it's obvious she's at fault. anyway do you have a lawyer with you to help out? if you're doing it on your own, i can give you our family lawyers number if you have any questions or anything....you know jsut for legal advice....let me know.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

no, I'll be okay, I think I have a pretty good lawyer. He seems confident and capable

forrestina forrestinaOG 2002 flomojopoanode

theremin #12 thereminOG 2002

The 5 most expensive States to buy a home in desending order according to landvoice.com based on average list prices that are FSBOs for that State:

Hawaii
DC
Cali
Nevada
New Jersey

iwz #12.1 iwz

nevada? i thought it was cheap out there? maybe that's just arizona though

theremin #12.1.1 thereminOG 2002

In the desolate areas, but think about the Vegas area. That bumps the average way up when you factor in that.

Just like how California has it's cheaper areas, but when you factor in the cities parts, like for example in the L.A. area you can't get anything decent for less than half a million. And even then you'd just be able to get an old 2 Bedroom / 1 Bath bungalow at that price or a trailer home in Malibu.

I'm going by for sale by owners since I just got this information off of landvoice.com. These aren't listed ones on the market, so who know if they're fair figures to go by... I'll look at the Otteau report I got recently, later on. But in Nevada the avg is about $500, Cali is about $557, HI about $600!, with DC just a little below 6. NJ is at $440.

These are all going by the entire state though of course. So each state has their posh places and cheaper places obviously.

Long story short... with Nevada, Las Vegas is to blame, plus it's proximity to Southern California.

juicymango #12.1.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

yeah Rita was saying it's hard to find anything for less than a million in California but rent is relatively the same as here, so it's not that you have to be RICH to live there and rent, but you have to be kind of rich to buy something haha

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

yeah altho moving where my friends live (the ones who had the party at their house) isnt AS expensive. they purchased at a good price and you saw how HUGE their place was.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah their house was awesome!! but if we're moving there we're living in Venice Beach hehehe i just loved it there, it's so eclectic.... but yeah the beach was gross, on our last day there we went to the beach there, and we were like EW! compared to Laguna and San Clemente

yeah we're gonna live in San Clemente haha

yeah.. in my DREAMS

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

yeah you guys def ahve to live in venice/santa monica area.

you guys could def live in San Clemente....one of the girls here lives in a condo a few blocks from the beach and she's a single mom w/2 girls and she's doing well on the single income.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

interesting! ah man just the thought makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside. haha. I need to live out there.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Look at how cheap this bungalow in Culver City is. http://www.realtor.com/Prop/1064787038

Only $779,000. hahaha

What city do your friends live in? How much did they buy for?

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

They live in Yucaipa (near the golf courses) and i think they purchased at $300K+ about 3 years ago.

B
brothermanOG 2004

She must make an awesome salary for a single mom. That's still alot.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Yeh, a million dollars does buy much over there. You won't be getting a mansion at that price. You'd be getting like an okay looking 3 Bedroom ranch.

I should probably move over to rent something in SouthCal and hookup with an real estate office to sell houses in El Rancho Santa Fe. haha

socalgal #12.1.1.2 socalgalOG 2003

yeah here, there are new 1 & 2 bedroom lofts going up all over the place and the lowest starting price is $500K for a loft. back in the day you'd be living a block from the ocean at that price.

theremin thereminOG 2002

I was watching Property Ladder the other day. There was this 24 year old on there that was saying he moved from Boston to L.A. after college, bought a 1 bed loft when he got to LA, and I don't know what year it was or how much he paid, but when he sold in it in just 1 years time, it sold for $100,000 more than he paid for it. It appreciated $100,000 in one year! Crazy

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

oh yeah its insane what you buy and what you sell at. right now its not a sellers market....too many peeps are buying.

iwz iwz

too many peeps buying makes it a sellers market. the problem is not enough peeps are buying, hehe

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

DARN YOU IAN! LOL see you need to bring back the ability for us to modify our musings! i'm mexican, i make SO many grammatical errors!!! now everyone knows how mexican i am!!! LOL

I meant to say its not a sellers market cause NO ONE IS BUYING....LOL

theremin thereminOG 2002

More, technically, it's based on absorbtion rate. Put simply, you get the figure from all the active comps' days on the market and how long it will take to sell off all that inventory.

A 1 month - 4 month absorbtion rate is a seller's market. 5 - 6 month rate is a normal market. 7 months + is a buyers market.

I have an Excel workbook that figures this out for me after I input the necessary information.

Last time I heard about Rumson, NJ's absorbtion like late last year early this year, it was a 3 year absorbtion. hahaha

D
dgiaimoOG 2003

Unless you live in the SF bay area, where an average of 30 days on the market is considered a buyer's market. :)

theremin thereminOG 2002 dgiaimo

The rule of thumb is any house should sell within 30 days or within 30 showings, whichever comes first. (Even in my area of NJ where the market absorbtion is about 7 months, and there are many expired listing contracts) If it doesn't sell within a month, it pretty much means it's priced above market value. The market here in NJ could move as fast as SanFran if more sellers were listing at market value, rather than pricing way above, waiting on chance for someone to come see the home, and finally after months, wind up negotiating the contract of sale anyway. Thing is listing price scares a buyer from even coming to see the house without knowing their potential negotiating power.

theremin thereminOG 2002

Basically that goes for America on the whole right now. NJ went from a seller's market at like a year and a half ago, to a normal market up til like several months ago, to a buyers market at present. But, even say a seller bought his house here like 3 years ago, he'll still make a killing, selling even in this buyer's market right now. Plus, I try to explain to sellers, don't think get stuck on the idea that you're not selling for as much as your neighbor did a year ago. You'll still be making a killing, plus, whatever you buy to move is gonna be a good deal. It's all relative.

theremin #12.1.2 thereminOG 2002

Like a $130,000 difference between AZ and Nevada.

specialk #12.1.3 specialkOG 2003

Parts of AZ are cheaper.....but anywhere near where we live, is ridiculous. Compared to the east coast, you get half the house for twice the price. It's crazy. The house we're in right now, until we get our duplex, would probably be about $500,000 less in Ohio....still just as nice, but a lot cheaper.
There are less expensive places around here, but they aren't what you would call....nice areas. That's all I'm saying.

juicymango #12.2 juicymangoOG 2003

I made chocolate hazelnut gelato with nutella on sunday - so incredibly yummy. I think I'll have that for dinner. :)

socalgal socalgalOG 2003

OMG SOOOOO YUM! is it hard to make?

web-toedchloe web-toedchloeOG 2001

Not hard, just time consuming. I used an everyday italian recipe:

I think this link will work

The recipe says to cook the custard on a really low temperature, stirring constantly until it thickens, and said that would take 7-10 minutes. It took 30 minutes of stirring for mine to thicken, so that was a little annoying. (Also, you need an ice cream maker.)

forrestina #11.3.1.2 forrestinaOG 2002

ever have gelato in an ice cream sandwhich? it's on real bread! the bread is served warm and fresh. so good!

socalgal #7 socalgalOG 2003

so i dont get the cuban peeps. ok so fidel castro is gravely ill, and i can understand they're being "happy" about it because of what they put him through. BUT they're partying and everything as if he HAS died....and not knowing that he's turned control over to his brother who is the evilest of the two....so why the partying? i would be scared.

juicymango #6 juicymangoOG 2003

iwz #6.1 iwz

mandie #5 mandieOG 2001

Ok so listen to this: a sister in my hall was studying with this couple. actually it is a pretty cool story. its kinda long so i won't really get into it now, but the girl's dog died. she loves animals, like loves them. so she was upset and crying before their study about it and she said something to the effect of "i can't wait to see my dog in the new system". Sooo, this sister gave it a week or so to let her get better and move on and then later explained to her that animals won't be resurrected in the new system and this girl got so upset that god won't resurrect her dog, both her and her boyfriend stopped studying. OK, is it just me or is that insane?

web-toedchloe #5.1 web-toedchloeOG 2001

That's pretty crazy - the truth obviously wasn't in their hearts in the first place.

I had a talk about that recently, how animals don't have souls and won't be resurrected (it was from the reasoning book). It's funny that this was such a soft spot for the couple, because as I was writing it, I remember thinking how silly it was that people could be so attached to their pets. But I guess I'm just callous like that. :P

mandie #5.1.1 mandieOG 2001

i'm not a huge animal person, at all, so i don't understand it. sure i have had pets and was sad when they died, but i didn't give up the truth because they won't be resurrected. i dont' know, i just thought i was being mean. but the guy that was studying, man, he completely changed his life. it was awesome. he got arrested and put in jail for drugs and he continued to study in jail and completely changed his life and everything. he loved studying and wanted to get baptized. sad that they are stumbled because of a dog.

juicymango #5.1.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

oh.. wow yeah that's pretty nutty

juicymango #5.1.2 juicymangoOG 2003

psst humans don't "have" souls either, we are souls... member?

iwz #5.1.2.1 iwz

i thought of saying something as well, but of course she knows that haha

it just depends on how you read it

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i know, i'm playin yo

web-toedchloe #5.1.2.2 web-toedchloeOG 2001

Hahahaha - I know, the name of the talk was "Do animals have souls?" or something like that.

iwz #5.2 iwz

ohh man, if mikayla was just learning that when she was studying i think she would have stopped too. poor gidget

mandie #5.2.1 mandieOG 2001

which one was gidget? was that the tripod dog that always peed on travis's car?

iwz #5.2.1.1 iwz

nooo gidget was their gold and white pomeranian. she was about 8 years old, and just was hit by a car in their driveway last month and killed. (brecken was driving, feel soo bad)

mikayla was devastated.. it's been a baad month

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

aww, no way! i met that dog, she was so cute! we were feeding him pizza crust.

mandie mandieOG 2001

ohh no, thats sad. poor little gidget.

juicymango #5.3 juicymangoOG 2003

i remember when i was little and our dog died i was extremely upset that it won't be resurrected

i still kind of get upset about that.. when my cats go i'm gonna be really upset, i know it :(

mandie #5.3.1 mandieOG 2001

well i think its normal to be upset about it. it is very sad when they die.

juicymango #5.3.1.1 juicymangoOG 2003

my two cats are about 9 years old, they have been a part of my life longer than my husband and most of my friends, so yeah there is definitely an attachment there

even the little birds dying last year, it was so upsetting i remember we missed a meeting because i couldn't stop crying over the baby birds

socalgal #4 socalgalOG 2003

wow ian, what happend to her knee? is it from a previous injury? i hope she's ok.

web-toedchloe #4.1 web-toedchloeOG 2001

Is it an old hockey injury? She'll be ok, right?

iwz #4.2 iwz

she's just got a bum knee. it's come out before, but the other day it came out pretty bad. she got her kneecap back in on her own, but I took her to the ER on Thursday to have it checked out.

today was her MRI, she just got out. she was a little panicked she said, but she dealt. she had to listen to Sheryl Crow.

tomorrow is the orthopedist.

her sister has a bad knee too, but she went through physical therapy which helped a lot. the doctor in the ER said she has to strengthen her quads to help keep her knee in place. uggh so gross to think about

mandie #4.2.1 mandieOG 2001

oh poor mikayla. tell her i said hi and hope her knee gets feeling better.

iwz #4.2.1.1 iwz

thanks! i will

socalgal #4.2.2 socalgalOG 2003

OOOOO she put it back in place herself? OUCH!!! well send her my love and i'm SO sorry she's going through that. poor thing!

juicymango #4.2.3 juicymangoOG 2003

aw man!!! hope she's alright

flomojopoanode #3 flomojopoanodeFounder

is she okay!?

reaf #2 reafOG 2002

WHY WHY WHY is this IPOD not more user friendly

iwz #2.1 iwz

the ipod is like the easiest thing in the world.

superhero #2.2 superheroOG 2004

it's not that user friendly to be honest. and neither is iTunes. To understand the program, you must think as an Apple Fan-person. that's the only way. (hint - figure out if "update songs automatically") is checked or unchecked. To remove the songs from your ipod, I say "manually update songs" instead of automatic, then click the songs I want to remove on my ipod (NOT MY LIBRARY), highlight all the ones I want by using control and click - then Right-click, CLEAR - and DONE!

Woot

iwz #2.2.1 iwz

haha you're totally right. it's actually pretty confusing

mandie #2.3 mandieOG 2001

i HATE my ipod.

superhero #2.3.1 superheroOG 2004

i'll take it

juicymango #2.3.2 juicymangoOG 2003

i was so happy about my ipod because it revolutionized my gym experience, (it was no longer boring) but now I mostly do the zumba classes so i don't need the ipod

it's lonely

mandie #2.3.2.1 mandieOG 2001

yeah i love the concept of the ipod. it just is always breaking and never working. if it worked, i would love it.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

yeah i just don't have that much use for it. I don't walk around in the city. I listen to music on the computer most of the time. I don't really ride trains or buses... and when driving i listen to cd's

so yeah my ipod is lonely

iwz iwz

i use mine mainly for podcasts, but also for long drives and sometimes at work.

but yeah, my ipod is broken. so i don't listen to it at all right now. :(

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

I only use mine in the car, with my tape adapter (I hate that thing..I've been through two already). I don't even use it when walking around up at school.

yay #2.4 yayOG 2004

The UI for ipod is terrible IMHO

iwz #2.4.1 iwz

actually, the UI on the iPod is my favorite part. I think the click wheel is just about the best invention ever. And the menus are organized very logically. And I love how you can make on-the-go-playlists. I think it's great

thefunkyfresh #2.4.1.1 thefunkyfreshFounder

it's really good once you get used to it, but for a non-computer person i could see it being almost impossible to understand.

I'm psyched cuz i JUST figured out how to hook up my ipod directly thru my car stereo system, without the crappy radio frequency thing, plugs right into my EQ

M
monsterEst. 2006

details? 3.5mm X 1" Mini stereo plug?, RCA's? do tell...

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

yeah what todd said below

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Share! This would be good to know.

flomojopoanode flomojopoanodeFounder

he has an aftermarket Equalizer that takes RCA stereo. He got the mini stereo (1/8th inch) to RCA stereo converter, and the right wires. :D

jp jpOG 2003

thats funny you say that matt. i am computer illiterate (it took me over a year to figure out how to operate ians ftp...and i was constantly working towards it, night and day, 24/7) but i totally get the ipod and itunes too, for the most part. like i have no idea what this EQ and UI and RCA stuff means, but i could definately show you how to hook up the pod and play with it. :)

yay #2.4.1.2 yayOG 2004

Ok click wheel is good stuff. But I need a more web browser type, like with a back button, or up. I don't know its just not intuitive, it might be great, but the 2 times in the last year I've even touched Kamila's I got so frustrated.

iwz iwz

the Menu button goes up, or back.

reaf #2.5 reafOG 2002

I have yet to actually USE my Ipod. I've had it for 3 weeks i think. The ear things are to big for my ears, I need smaller ones. I hope it revolutionizes my workout. I think it will, unless I just end up dancing at the gym and not working out.

coreyfeldman #2.5.1 coreyfeldmanOG 2003

I have an ipod, now i want the nike+ to revolutionize my work out.

flomojopoanode #2.5.2 flomojopoanodeFounder

you could do both with a little "dance dance revolution".

thatdarngirl #2.5.3 thatdarngirlOG 2002

I hate those earbuds. Even when they do fit they're super uncomfortable. I just went out and bought some normal head phones (this also is good for when you hide your ipod in your bag so people don't mug you to get it..the white headphones are a dead give away to what you're listening to)

fivezero #2.6 fivezeroOG 2003

this is a very late comment, but i love my ipod. it goes most places with me and i use it quite a lot, mostly in my truck. when i have company i make a playlist and dock it to some nice speakers and let it rock. as for user-friendliness. it's mondo-easy to use. i just plugged it in and everything took care of it self. simple. BUTTTTT i'm thinking of dropping the Motorola Q and getting the Chocolate with the 2gig mem, so i would very rarely have to carry a phone AND an IPOD. . . HMMMMMMM . . . decisions

reaf #1 reafOG 2002

dang i just posted something and you took it out

iwz #1.1 iwz

after you remove the song from the playlist in itunes, you have to plug the ipod in to sync it. did you try that?
