    Finally got around to reading the first volume of Absolute Sandman. Good Lord is it good, I think I might prefer it to Preacher. Does it hold steady through the other 4?

    I highly recommend volunteering somewhere (animal shelter, library, etc), as well as checking out meetup.com and meeting groups of people with your interest (board games, book clubs, whatever), although both of these options might be limited in a small town. Imagine the kind of girl you want to...

    Well time for naive me story. We refinanced after two years in our house because we could go from 5% to 3.75%. I decided because it looked like banking with Wells Fargo was about to be more unattractive due to fees, and because I thought my debt would probably serve me better both...

    Move on. It"s not worth dealing with. If you like the girl enough to put up with it, that means you have to like her enough to put up with it for the rest of their lives.

    Not having kids is becoming more and more of "the norm" among the educated mid to upper class this board probably primarily represents. Among my friends (largely IT workers, men and women), all of whom are 25+, having children is by far the minority.

    Salary Negotiation

    It also depends on the size of the company. A lot of the time your immediate manager would love to pay you more, but he can"t justify it to upper management. In that case, an offer letter wouldn"t hurt your relationship much, especially if upper management has a lot of people under them.

    Salary Negotiation

    I would be very hesitant to bring up pay early on at your stay with a company in this economy. Not only can they turn you down if they think you won"t leave, but it will also paint a negative image in the manager"s mind which could impact the timing of future raises. Obviously this is not true...

    So a few months ago I asked about what difference it makes who we go to for a loan. We ended up going with Wells Fargo and I definitely regret it.

    I recommend volunteering as a way to meet relationship candidate material.

It"s always heavily skewed (like 4:1) to a female population, and there"s usually ample...

    Sure, but by making it take crafting you reward a player for working on crafting.

    Outside of the actual crafting (button mashing + inventory drag and drop game), I actually really liked the way EQ1 did crafting. I think it was a good idea to have tradeskills basically tied into raid drops (elemental armor combines then later the gear with specific aug slots, probably many...

    I absolutely loved the Age of Apocalypse series. Two most memorable moments is when Colossus leaves the Generation X kids to die inside the fortress (loved the art for that issue too) and the last issue in general.
