So close! Soon this will be ours! The last steps are now in motion. I know this looks like a thousand other suburban houses. The difference is, this is *our* suburban house. Plus, it really is pretty neat on the inside. Pics soon, when we officially have the keys!
Never thought I'd be in Carmel... Used to be so annoyed with that place. Jealous really... So, if you can't beat them, join them, I guess. Especially in the Indianapolis area.

Thank you, everyone. Now we're waiting for conditions to clear underwriting and get sent to the title company... Anyone have anything to say about this bit of the process? I guess once these mysterious underwriters get done with us, we will finally officially and totally have the home loan.

Have my room ready. I got you on the cookies.

The FriendFeed flaming departure- an episodic in which we profile various online personas and their arc of introduction, infatuation, obsession, anger, frustration, and departure.
Are you talking about the rants about people deleting their accounts and then coming back?
- CW™
CW, you've been on here as long as me- I'm sure you've seen a fair share, like I have.
- anna sauce
Are we turning this into a documentary, or a soap opera?
- Eric @ CS Techcast
Joe, I actually don't blame the community. There are individuals that - during the election period- I learned about in a new way, and I unsubscribed. And blocked. And, problem went away. Whenever anyone has these flaming departures (minus @directeur) I think they just don't know how to use the tool.
- anna sauce
used to happen in newsgroups and forums - the same patterns now move to social networks - if only more publicly (note: I didnt see any of it, but I can imagine)
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
the hate directed at people who leave and come back gets real old, real fast.
- Jim Hearts FF
directeur left and came back- and in that time he built a new tool that solved the problem that he thought the site had. If that's not a constructive channelling of frustration, I don't knwo what is, lol.
- anna sauce
Once in a while I go to YouTube comments to see the real vitriol
- anna sauce
hate is just about never a constructive channelling of anything - but it is easier online when you havent met the people to behave in nasty ways you never would do in person
- Joelle Nebbe (iphigenie)
Anna, Being on social sites as long as we have, we see this like every 3 months. Its nothing new. Its nothing old. Its as it is, human nature. I personally find the bitch sessions about people leaving and coming back annoying, but like you all said its a good Drama fest for the moment and quite entertaining to see people cry and whine over things they have no control over or really any...

Hey if you need to leave someplace for you to be better, then please do it. Your mental and emotional well being is more important then anything. If I wanted to keep in touch with you, I can find a way some other services. :) If you want to keep in touch with me, then I'm open on all sorts of ways to be contacted.
- CW™
That is right CW - I don't need FF to stay in touch w/ whomever but I am tired of seeing people mobbed into leaving too.
- Joe
Joe, Yeah that is pretty petty in my book. I do sometimes want to know why someone left, but its just as I said, I hope they are doing better by leaving. That is ultimately more important. I do understand why the mobs complain too, its a anger on their part 1) They are angry their social FF experience will be cut by the persons departure. Cause no matter if your post is liked or...

Not to be a told-you-so, but the minute I saw Holden join with his name, "god of FF" based on absolutely nothing, I had a feeling his personality type might go the route of the quick flame.
- anna sauce
As someone who's deleted their account before and come back, I don't see what the big deal is. This social networking stuff isn't that serious, and to me the drama is just humorous.

I CAN ATTEST THAT PEA IS, IN FACT, ALL SUGAR AND SPICE AND EVERYTHING NICE. Argue that, and let's see how mean you really wanna be. In the meantime, my head hurts so discuss this amongst yourselves. You can summarize it for me later.

Debating tip: never try to get in the last word. Always give your opponent the opportunity to get in the last word. By some sort of mysterious karmic law, your persuasiveness will improve immeasurably. :)

Steven Perez isn't a Bunneh!!! As long as he doesn't respond.
- Jimminy
This is a point that can never be proved, nor disproved until all but one of us are dead.
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
So... it's kind of like a "tontine" but with a pretty weak payoff?
- Mark Jepsen
Hmmm, actually, it only needs to continue until Steven Perez is dead (of very old age, i of course hope). Our victory is guaranteed. Of course, if friendfeed gets eaten by fb, it's just going to be a race to get the last comment in before the site goes down.
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
It's okay, he's got a Catch-22 now. Steven Perez isn't a Bunneh, so long as he doesn't respond. And we all know he refutes his Bunneh status.
- Jimminy
It was real hawt in the town that night! IF I EDIT 18 hours later like now - is your last still last if comments are disabled? A hawt question.
- L Stephen Cleary
Steven is a Bunneh!!! He responded when I said he wasn't. Bunneh's can win if they want.
- Jimminy
Steven, I'm sure that not even you would resort to cheating to get the last word. I vote we just find the comment limit. It's gonna be a number ending in '0'
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
You did see where I said that I like my food scared and running, yeah? Mmmmm, ferret-ka-bobs ...

Sadly, the only Voltron to heed your call is the vehicle Voltron. And I disabled that yo-yo by pulling out the sparks plugs in the car feet.

I think friendfeed only put the extra "Add comment" link at the bottom of threads because of this specific thread. It took me a full 20 seconds to scroll from one end of it to the other.
- Slippy "Threadsbane" Lane
hmm... 800+ comments on this thread, and this is my first, and probably last comment on this thread. I wonder should I read all the comments, or just post?

23 years from now, Steven will still check his MSGoogle MyFriendFace feed every morning so he can respond to this post with 3,137,783 comments...

After half a month there must have been moment you thought it would not be a real big deal if you eventually should NOT have the last word, I suppose?
- Ruud van Wijngaarden
Now that you've nearly reached 1100 comments, I realized that I hadn't officially "liked" this yet! Error rectified, though you're clearly a comment whore, you show great panache while doing so!
- Mark Jepsen
Ohhh, you mean that place, which is totally faked by a #viciousbunneh who was in cahoots with the government in taking all the alfalfa plants into an underground hidden bunker.
- Tsali, The Native of FF
I will allow you to have the last word. But to take that last word you are surrendering your honor to a den of sightless whores.

Eventually, the whole thread will go backwards to the beginning.

That sounds like more fun than I imagine you wanted it to.

It was a test. Honor is pride. A den of sightless whores is merely an event that you will carry forever. You have attained the 7th level of enlightenment.

2012 is just the begining of the 13th Baktun, the long cont calendar doesn't actually run out until sometimes after 4772, that is of course if you stick with only Baktuns and don't use the other 4 higher counts, I just think FF will end in 4217 on planet Tersanzar :)

Ah, right thread. In that thread, it's asked what you think you smell like. In this thread, I told you what I think you smell like.
