So I returned to the DMV today, with the Mass Registration as they requested yesterday. Although it was good enough for them yesterday, it wasn't good enough for them today. Apparently, I paid for a MA title, but MA never sent me one. Although my title clearly states that it was in CT the whole time, the DMV of course, doesn't care. They need a ( Read more... )

I hate how they give you the illusion that everything is all good. I have everything on their website, the first time I was in, they told me I'd be all good. Then, after a 2.5 hour wait (during which time I had to endure 2 stinky ass people sitting next to me, so bad I'm gagging, and a screaming kid that the parents couldn't control.), I get up ( Read more... )

Back in 2003, Ron Paul introduced the (failed) Honest Money Act. It would repeal legal tender laws that force people to take currency created by the government, printed in whatever quantity it wants instead of giving the choice to people to take gold or silver. www.house.gov/paul/congrec/congrec2003/cr072503.htm It would be a good idea to ( Read more... )

In an emailed statement, Dodd told Bloomberg: "I did not want to make any changes to my original Senate-passed amendment but I did so at the request of administration officials."

Obama did not put the "American Recovery and Reinvestment Act" online for five days of public review and comment as he pledged to do with legislation during his campaign ( Read more... )

Working on establishing a new home base from which to operate. Applied for a few jobs today - nothing exciting, really. Still tying up the loose ends from moving - dealing with utilities, DMV, address changes, etc. I was going to get a new cell phone number with an 860 area code this week, but too much chaos remains for me to introduce more. So, I' ( Read more... )

It's interesting, how I was so pissed off the other day, demanding that something happened. First, the thing with my parents, now I get laid off today. Well, that's interesting, for sure ( Read more... )

Shortly after my last post, I decided to drink a bunch of wine. Called up Mike whom I haven't talked to in awhile. Then called up Dad, who is up at Mom's in Coventry for the moment to ask him about an email he sent me about some genealogy that he had been looking into (John Bancroft, who emigrated to here in 1632 came over on the James, which was ( Read more... )

Feeling like I've slid myself into a little pocket of mediocrity. Fuck, when there's nothing going on 'cept you just sitting there, watching the world going by, offering nothing but disengaged commentary - I think that's an issue. I feel so fucking ineffective, ordinary, boring as fuck.  Tomorrow is Mardi Gras and my brother is flashing his moobs ( Read more... )

Going to look at a few more houses tomorrow, up to 3 (maybe 0). You know, I've analyzed hundreds in the listings online, went to see probably over a hundred drive-bys, and been inside maybe 15 now.

Things are still mostly overpriced. The hinge point of when property values will stabilize is when the mortgage payments approach what the rental income ( Read more... )
