    Update on absence

    Howdy folks!

    Just a bit of an update on my lack of involvement as of late: My fiance and I really wanted to take advantage of the $8000 first time home buyer tax credit before its November 1st expiration but we couldn't afford much because I was laid off in January and returned to school and she works for a miserly rate as a 2nd grade teacher. We ended up with a descent HUD house. Houses end up with HUD because they were foreclosed on with an FHA loan. Typically these houses are not taken care of.

    Well, being unemployed and having a good amount of handyman knowledge, I set about remodeling the entire interior. This, for some weird reason, cut into my free time. (how odd ) The work ran behind a bit and I only got it "barely" livable by the time she had to move in on 10/10 and then "somewhat" livable by the time we were married and I moved in on 10/24. After a week-long honeymoon in Charleston, SC I am now back and into the thick of things.

    I may sign on from time to time, but I don't plan on seeding the server again anytime soon! Hopefully things will return to normalcy before Christmas.



    I have so much painting left to do.

    Re: Update on absence

    Should there be a sticky about informing any long absence of players ?

    So we don't have these, ''hello I'm back'', or '' you won't be seeing me anytime soon'' treads.


    On the other note, welcome back!

    Grats on the wedding, good luck with the house mate. Still doing mine I don't know how many years later lol!



    You do not want the enhanced situational awareness the sharing of information should bring negated by the loss of awareness that too much comms can inadvertently cause.

    Hehe, well make sure you plan. Lots of people over here have taken advantage of this first home buyer doovey. And now that rates are up, they'll all probably be broke a few weeks from now.
