    Truly nice work MonsE, but as the topic description says, mortgages are the suck =(

    Down-payments are REALLY the suck. 20% in this case, in order to cut the monthly bill... <!--emo&???--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/confused.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='confused.gif'><!--endemo-->

    Almost makes me wonder how MonsE makes money... I don't think lurking around in forums pays good.

    dude

    monse is like the head person on networking for a bunch of companies

    as I recall he does consulting, which == lots of scratch

    a good example was when he saved most of the east coasts banks from blaster, and said on rr.org we owed him beers

    [notice, not just a beer, but plural <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif'><!--endemo-->]

  • kidakida Join Date: 2003-02-20 Member: 13778Members
    Nice house you got there.

    What you need is a nice home theater system, perhaps a denon 808 crt projector, 6.1 setup, amps, and whatnot.
    Also, a nice slate pool table and a bar would nicely add might I say <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo-->...

    But alas, your house is kickass.

    We do have a mid-grade homer theater system (Sony Dream), which will be fine for us (we're not mega audio nuts like some people, but 400 watts of 5.1 is fine for us). We will be getting a nice plasma 42" flatscreen for the living room (more a space issue than anything), and probably a larger rear-projection model for the den (for baseball purposes).

    Basement den will have a small bar. And I've been browsing pool table reseller websites all week (as Lisa loves pool, and I bought my books in college playing pool in the hall down the street. <!--emo&;)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/wink.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wink.gif'><!--endemo--> ) So Kida and I are definitely on the same page.

    PS: I like parentheses (a lot). (Really).

    PPS: and yes, CFor, it's very setinfoable. If you're geekin' on MS, like we are. <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd.gif'><!--endemo-->

    One suggestion though.

    <img src='http://image.summitnetworks.com/dyna_images/mls/220/713852/713852-04-alt.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image'>

    Lose the glass shower, replace it with tile all the way around, do crown molding, paint the walls a nice deep red, and please tell me thats not linoleum on the floor !

    And please MonsE, when you move in, or before you move in, get the light fixtures changed ASAP !

    I have a thing for looking at all of MonsE's pictures even though I have 56.k <!--emo&:)--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/smile.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='smile.gif'><!--endemo-->


    Okay, now for ghetto translator


    batches == female dog [with the lingo today people have a way of spicing up there vocabulary by dropping offensive verbage into their speach]
    Deuce = 2
    so deuce deuces are 22'
    this refers to the size of the rims on the car, and spinners are a setup for the rims rotating independintly of the wheels, consequentaly when you stop your vehicle, "tha rims keep spinnin"

    and when I say hardcore, I mean the most like a true gangster. [A true "G" is a 100 percent hardcore]

    sipping is to just relax and take your time when drinking alcohol, and to pound is to chug, or drink really fast

    crystal is a kind of liquor, and when mixed with hypnotik [another kind of hard liquor] makes a drink that is know as "incredible hulk"


    make sense now?

    Did you forget it was being built?
  • SirusSirus Join Date: 2002-11-13 Member: 8466Members, NS1 Playtester, Constellation
    No, but when you have a house built they put in the standard specifications unless you tell otherwise. I'm saying do it now, or do it later, but do it sometime.
