... But you can never find the dang place...

I hope you don't have all your savings there, they're under suspicion of fraud...

Son of a... I ordered some food for the little fuzzies. It was suppose to come USPS, but instead the store sent them UPS. Neither can deliver to the same address as the other!

To be honest I've never seen the point to features like that. Why not simply ignore it in the conventional way?

If you use the "new posts" feature it is really useful to ignore sections that you don't read regularly. It filters the noise on that list quite a bit.

You can still of course visit those sections directly from the forums list... or by bookmarking them in your browser.

I personally have 3 book marks in my Links bar for MR. One for the User CP, one for New Posts and one for New Posts in just the moderators/reported posts section.

Thanks for the laugh, Marc. You have Dymocks down pat. I gave up on them long ago.

As a member of the Krill anti-defamation league, I am required to remind you not to insult Krill either singly or en masse, by referring to them as being in the same class as a government...Not even a jellyfish deserves such an insult.

Hey, they started it! They said my "mind is like a joint meeting of MPIA and RIAA executives, and that by "joint meeting of MPIA and RIAA executives" they mean like an "architeuthis and a physeter macrocephalus gettin' it on"" and now I've got the Spermaceti Society and the Fight The Watchmen Movie Discrimination League Of Extraordinary Tentacles on my back claiming copyright on my brain.

Screw the krill! Screw Dymocks! Screw the government! Screw sperm whales! Screw squid! And screw this picture hook into the wall so I can hang up this picture of a cute little kitten hanging from a tree branch. He he he..."Hang in there"...giggle...teh kewt iz ovawelmingz.

Point taken though. The government is not very good.

Cheers,
Marc

My uncle, who has lived in Miami for as long as I've been around, says the same thing.

So here's my question: If so many people dislike it, why isn't anyone leaving? I'm not being a smarta$$, I ask the same thing of fellow Illinoisans who also aren't leaving despite the fact that, with no jobs, there's really nothing keeping them here.

I'm stuck here right now because the housing market is in the toilet. There's no way that I could sell my house and get what I owe. I'm also stuck here because the job is here. That hasn't stopped me from actively applying all over the country though.

If I get a bite, I will leave. But until then -- I'm stuck.

What's so bad about South Florida? I live in Tampa and really like it here. (Yes, I know Tampa is central Fla)

I know how you must feel. My mother's house is appraised at 550'. It's now sitting at just under 360', which is essentially the minimum she needs to pay off her substantial debts and get back on track. The only "bite" was one person who had the audacity to offer 250'!
