I'd rather you come to Canada : P
In all seriousness though, I hope you find your way Laurentus

Thank you, North. I appreciate it.

Hey, we are all players on the stage of life so might as well be nice to each other. After all, blessed are the peacemakers for they shall be recognized as children of god. :]

Damn Laurentus...that's some exceptionally heavy stuff right there.  I wish you nothing but the best in your move and really hope that everything goes well and that you find what you're looking for.

Thank you, Pengu and Crushita. The move isn't certain yet. It is something that I have completely planned out, though. All that's left is to buy plane tickets, and make a few final calls to organise everything for living arrangements. But I am not going to do this lightly. I'm giving myself time to consider and reconsider. I don't want to be anything less than 100% certain.

So, because people asked, here's what happened with me and my Mi-35 Hind helicopter (my 2008 Nissan Altima Hybrid). I took a nap when I came home and just woke up.

This happened around 0300. I drove home from the karaoke bar. I was driving on the I-15 towards the fork where the CA-78 is and I apparently dozed off. When I woke up, part of the car was in the air and I landed with the car facing oncoming traffic. I apparently hit the median barrels between the 15 and 78 exits.

the front of my car was pushed inward and the engine hood got popped up and pushed inward. Driver's airbags on front and left side deployed. The force of the car got my seat belt unbuckled a bit and my glasses were thrown to the dashboard above the driver's seat.

A woman who witnessed it called 911. Another person helped me get out of the car as the driver door was pushed open from the landing but jammed. The woman gave me her name and number and left once CHP and paramedics arrived. Save for a rash on my neck from seat belt burn, I am ok, pretty shaken up.

That car saved my life that I had since June 2008. CHP took me to a nearby Denny's around 4 am where I had been waiting for a ride until about 0800, when a local friend was willing to make the drive to come take me home. I had already called State Farm and filed the claim.

I am shaken, not stirred. Thank you to those who reached out.

On the positive side, 83 applications submitted, 18 applications rejected later, and I had a phone interview today with General Atomics.

Glad to hear that you're alright, Gov.

Same here, Gov.

Welcome to apartheid 2.0

EDIT: More information can be found here. Needless to say, I would be pretty pissed if this shit succeeds in court. I don't think I even need to explain why.

Wow, that's all kinds of fucked up. Can they even do that? Like ethically as well as logistically?

They would rape the economy even more than it's getting raped already, but yeah, they are completely within their power to do shit like this.

I've no clue how good this team is, but suddenly they're my favourite. =P

@Barnes why did you dislike this post?

TSM is decent enough.

[/quote]Oh my! I'm terribly sorry! I swear it was a complete accident! There was absolutely no reason for me to dislike it. Thanks for pointing it out! Again, my apologies and sympathies.

TSM is decent enough.

I did my research and determined that the guy in the middle is involved with another team now (though he's not actually playing on it), so I've changed my mind...now it's Team Liquid. I blame this on my being a fickle American.

Are they any good, Reon?
