There was a mesocyclone (one that hovers but doesn't touch down) a couple years ago, there was a lot of hail then.

I've lived in trailers and apartments most of my life although I was born in a house as was my sister. That was when my dad had a job that paid working for a printing company before they replaced him with computers. After that he did many jobs and the last one was being a journeyman plumber. Now with my stepdad who's a computer test analyst QA guy we live in this trailer because it is cheap.

Manufactured houses may be cheaper but they are not good investments because they depreciate in value just like cars do.

My parents aren't that concerned. They say they don't want a house because they're old and trying to downsize as well as the cheapness part.

When I live on my own I want to live in an apartment. I don't plan to marry because any time I'm interested in a woman it becomes more of an obsession and that drives them away; I'm sick of the hassle and wasted time. I want to spend my life studying like Robert Boyle and Isaac Newton did.

Got myself a Nintendo DS and Final Fantasy III. Is it me, or is it hard to get in shops? The DS, I mean.

Xan says, "DS Regular, or DS Lite?"

#2S says, "Congratulations!"

Regular, I think. Doesn't really make any difference as far as I am concerned.

Yep. DS Regular. Don't really care, all the DS Lite is is lighter and shinier. Maybe a few other tweaks, but I don't care.

I pick my console purchases with care, iamnotaparakeet. There are games coming for the DS that I want, and some out already that I am interested in.

Thanks anyway. :)

I have no doubt that you do, you seem like the kinda guy that is good at planning things out. :wtg:

I like to get things that are old after the fads are over, they cost less then. Behind the times I am, but less money wasted on the initial markup prices.

I'm no good at detailed planning, but I have the same idea. Besides, it also makes sure that you become aware of any shortfalls in any potential purchase.

So, you are more of a console gamer and less of a computer gamer? I prefer the computer because it has more selection of the games and software I like, computers stay around longer than any console system, and you can choose your peripherals more freely than with a given console system. Plus the fact that strategy games are my favorite and they are not easily played on a console, for lack of a mouse, I tend to like computers better.
