I didn't even know that it was until the other day when I had two guys at my house to re-inspect my house for for the weatherization program.

Had my original inspection in mid-July and because my crawlspace (which I'd never cleaned after removing all of the mold in the basement) had some tell-tale signs of moisture. They gave me a notice of "deferral" on the work he said they were going to do to my home, which included replacing a Janitrol furnace that was likely installed in the mid-60's.

I spent 4 hours one day, in that nastiness, scrubbing every square inch of that white plastic until it was shiny with bleach only to discover the source of the water that had pooled in certain areas was ironically the de-humidifier. I was using a cheap 15' garden hose to the sump well and the seal was bad so there was water leaking from it all along the hose.

Had them come back for re-inspection last week and even though the house is good they're not replacing any appliances at the moment because of concerns of future funding and the fact that our good for nothing government is shut down. Since the furnace NEEDS to be replaced, I got a second deferral on my home. They won't do any of the other work until I replace the furnace myself or I wait around to see if the funding is even coming back.

So... had I not been lazy and I had spent 4 hours in absolute filth bleaching that 500 sq/ft of yuck after I gutted the house, I'd have a brand new energy efficient furnace and duct system in my house right in time for winter. As it stands, I have a 50 year old furnace with multiple rusted out holes in the heat exchange with a duct system that only has one small return for six overhead vents that try to push the hot air down.

No wonder I spent nearly 200 bucks on my gas bill in February to keep the house "warm" at 62 degrees last year. And that wasn't even a cold year at all in these parts.

Oh well..... At least I have a clean crawl space now. :)

Congratulations. You're officially the last person on Earth to know.

I'm trying to come up with a suitable prize. You'll be informed.

Please Byte, don't worry yourself on a prize, or if you REALLY need to don't spend any money on it.

The fact that I was the last person on earth to know about this is the Gold Medal. :)

Welp.

Hope you were serious about the bondage kink stuff. Be a dear and restrain yourself.

Listen, all bullshit aside. Let me put this delicately. I have seen some masterful attempts in my time. I had one guy on another board chestpounding about being the straightest moffo chestpounding heterosexual on earth while writing me explicit love poem rap lyrics where I was imagined as a catgirl hermaphrodite, I kid you not. Pearl necklaces and fluffy tails and the words "long" and "hard" were featured prominently. They then topped that with an absolutely insane fake tears post about how they took some meth and ecstacy with their "IRL shemale girlfriend" for a romp but their girlfriend got tired of being the receiver.

You do not know the lols that were had that day and the head patting and the "maybe you might be gay" comments that I took part in.

Point is, I was born in the internet generation, raised by it's malice for nourishment, and been bored by most everything the internet can offer. You can do better.

Haha! Yes Mistress. ;)

Hope you didn't confuse my radio silence with evading your questions. :)

That is one of the most insane posts I've seen in the RWED. I love it!

I've read it about five times so far and I'm still trying to figure out what exactly you're saying/asking me. It's like, the freaking Donnie Darko or Mullholland Drive of RWED posts.

I did not ever peg you for one born in the "internet generation", although you could take that to mean many different ages I suppose. In the right light, I guess you could say that I look young enough to be considered "Gen I", but even though I loved messing with computers since I was 12, I didn't see the internet in action until late in my High School career.

Boy, do I remember that night fondly....

Sleeping over at my friend Joe's who wouldn't shut up about how awesome AOL was. I've never gone to any clubs where you wait 3 hours in line only to be told your name isn't on the list when you reach the door, but that about sums up my loss of internet virginity. After sitting in front of the AOL logon screen for three hours while hearing annoying fax machine noises and being kicked out before we even got to Yahoo.com, I decided the Internet sucked balls and I wouldn't be wasting another night of my time so stupidly.

Anyways...

You should cheer up Byte. Some people might mistake you for Spinster Cat Lady. Maybe that's what you were going for? Sounds like you've got possibly more than a few years left in this skin than I do, which I never would have suspected if all things were equal and the cigarettes and booze hadn't likely already knocked 20 years off my life.

I do hope you're really enjoying some of life's darker pleasures, if those are the types of places that tickle you.

Your last statements reminded me of a commercial I'd seen years back. This has got to be the most unintentionally hilarious commercial ever made.

Somebody should edit this video and put some subtitles on it explaining how this man is the biggest pervert the world has ever seen and if he didn't have the internet he would have likely left a trail of bounded and/or gagged and/or dead tranny hookers from coast to coast, all while wearing a bear costume with panties and a butt-plug underneath.

Even funnier, should be the subtitles explaining how the woman married to this man is either the dumbest or the smartest wife alive.

Oh... and I don't care who you are and what your current situation is....

The truth is, we can ALL do better. ;)

That would be a start. Let's go with that.

No goddammit. That is entirely what I'm trying to discourage.

Jack is an unacceptable nemesis. He is terrible at antagonizing. Fish in barrels come to mind. I am not CHALLENGED ENOUGH.

A rivalry with Jack would be even MORE insipid and disgusting than the sugary garbage your people call romance.

He is categorically unable to make me care significantly. It would be BLAND.

Chris, look what you've done. Now he's going to keep fake-hitting on me. We all know it's entirely insincere, but he persists anyway in the vain hope that he's not completely transparent.

Jack, do you want to talk about your house? Seriously. I would like to hear more about your house.

Yep, I can just imagine our disembodied metaphysical fake ghost emotional projections gettin' it on right now.

You do of course realize that the Firefly quote you conjured up for this refers to Saffron. Which is not a flawed analogy - she also would rob you blind and leave you for dead. And toss your cigarettes and beer in the toilet before she goes.

I should never have helped you with your health insurance bullshit, now you've imprinted on me. Like a baby duck wandering out into the road, and the cars are coming. Hug that asphalt.

How do you find a way to take something so potentially beautiful and make it just about as romantic and alluring as a two day old, half-eaten burrito?

Just playin' with ya..... I already did that to my Twenties! (Ba-Dum-Cha!)

Sorry lil' B... I don't know what Firefly quote you are referring to. I've looked up and down my last few posts here, but I can't find it!!!! Is it possible that a quote I heard from Firefly had somehow become so powerful to me that it became part of my sub-conscious banter? I only ever watched it through the one time. I've caught parts of a few episodes here and there back when I still had cable or my friends watched it.

I can't deny any of it though because Saffron was the reason I got into it in the first place (another story for another time...). Honestly... and I know I'm an idiot for it, but Saffron is my, likely, Eternal "IT" Girl. (Not CH the actress, but the idea of Saffron.) I'm at my best when I'm chasing.... anything that's worth.... chasing......

Just imagine how different the world would have to be if we were long past celebrating the 10th season of Firefly with most of the original cast still on board. Saffron would have been a major player a year or two more. Probably wiggle her way into being Queen of a planet (or at least a moon or two of a semi-important planet).

We'll make great PETS.....

If it makes you feel better Byte, you didn't tell me anything I hadn't read before, or wouldn't have found with my bloodhound nose for a deal.

Imprinting though? I don't get it. :?

If you feel that I have left a negative impact on you in any metaphysical way, I'd like to be confronted about it. (Preferably in PMs but here is good too)

I honestly feel dumb right now, because no matter how I look at it, I'm coming from a position of weakness since I don't know what you're referring to. :(

My personal measure of Karmic balance hangs.... well... in the balance....

Help me out here.

I love bunnies. Can't commit to any REAL pets here, but when a few of the guys came by after work to burn an hour until the recycle plant opened the bunny was out eating it's morning grub.

It just chilled there, eating it's bunny chomps, while the three of us intruded on her feast.

I put an immediate halt to one of their attempts to scare it off. The rabbit was to be respected. So it was, we sat there and watched the bunny do it's thing while smoking our 2nd after work smoke over a beer.

They're still amazed that at one point that rabbit was only a foot away from me nibbling. We're not on a first name basis, and she'd surely hop away if I tried to pet her, but I'd like her to know that this is a safe place for her to make a family. I've seen them try it twice out by where the pool used to be and the babies never survive since I'm not fenced in.

Wish I could communicate with the Mama Rabbit. Let her know that I'm not all Pentagon with my funds, but I could make a little 5'x5' playpen for her litter that would keep the riff-raff out.

I'm honored that every year i see more than a few mature bunnies in my yard. I'm thinking that they've all got 9/10th's of everything right. The final 1/10th is on me and I haven't been delivering.

Haha....

Nobody can call me a bad guy when there's a Kingdom of Rabbits living their insignificant and yet Royal lives out on my back lawn.

He left a much larger Carbon Footprint than those before him..... Well, who didn't?

Here lies Jack, AKA MEG.....

Don't ask me...

Ask that free-loading Pink Frog :)
