    First Home Purchase...Sale Pending! :D

    Ymir, you wouldn't believe what has happened in the last few years. Last year, I graduated from a medical laboratory technology program and a mere three months after graduation, I was hired on at Oregon Health and Science University, which is the largest health and clinical research center in...

    First Home Purchase...Sale Pending! :D

    I have thought it through, and am seriously looking into hiring a property management company to deal with the tenants, as I have less than zero interest in that side of home ownership. One of my good friends uses a property management company to rent out his condo, and he highly recommends...

    First Home Purchase...Sale Pending! :D

    Thanks Ymir. Happy to share in the excitement. There is plenty to go around. :D

    First Home Purchase...Sale Pending! :D

    They're really just denying themselves. Think of all the home purchases that have occurred over the years that were not celebrated with bacon. Such a shame.

    First Home Purchase...Sale Pending! :D

    Um....who told you I like bacon? I LOVE bacon. What a great way to warm a home. :D

    First Home Purchase...Sale Pending! :D

    I hope so too. I am optimistic, but I will wait to blow the cork on the champagne for when we close. :)

    First Home Purchase...Sale Pending! :D

    I just wanted to share the exciting news with everyone that I am in the midst of my very first home purchase and we are now sale pending. :D The home is a 2 bedroom 1.5 bath 2-story condo and is very close to my work. It has a washer, dryer, and fireplace, so it really feels like a home. It is...

    Trump's Political Strategy to Win Reelection in 2020 -- How Smart is it?

    My prediction is a Trump re-election. Reason? Not campaign strategy, not principle, not policy positions, but...Statistics. Historically, once a candidate has secured their first term, their odds of securing a second term grows exponentially. In addition, Hillary Clinton apparently has no plans...

    Premature Lap...

    Hahahaha!! Good job Ymir. You're not out of the woods yet, but I have every faith in your ability. Personally, I've always been a take-it-or-leave-it person, but I have an advantage due to my mild asthma... I think I know just what you mean. There are moments in my life where I feel as though...

    My Issue with the college GPA system

    I suppose if one were to consider GPA as the only metric of evaluation, that would be rather silly. Good thing that rarely--if ever--happens, huh? By the way, there already is a method of "calibration." I don't know what the system is like where you live, but here, classes are awarded credits...

    Your least favorite job

    I once worked at a jerky factory. *Shudders at the recollection* Repetitive...very very very very very repetitive. Processing department was cold and bloody. Packaging department was hot and dry. Wages were crap. Some very unhappy people there. It seemed as if all who were working there were in...

    Ultimate Guide to Surviving--and Thriving--on Night Shift

    I’ve read a lot of articles and watched a lot of videos on the internet that provide advice to people working night shift. Most of them provided practical advice, but the commonality among them is that they lack emphasis where it really counts. Hopefully this thread can help disperse some...

    Update: Living Nirvana

    I always enjoy hearing about your life events, Ymir. It makes me laugh seeing a self-described bodhisattva recount the torrents of an otherwise normal human existence. :D Last I heard about your sister, you described the dear unfortunate loss of her ex-lump of flesh, lol. I haven't really heard...

    Only Atheists can be Truly Moral

    Who says atheists are as charitable as Christians? And who says their charitability isn't ego-driven? Atheists seem to believe that the charity of Christians is in part a result of some pathological belief system. Who says that atheists are any less vulnerable to such pathology? And given that...

    Is Postmodernism a Disease?

    Short answer: Yes. Long answer: Yes, it is.

    God is a Woman

    God is a lesbian?...Lol. Come on, seriously? I don't think it makes any sense to characterize God as one gender or another, let alone having a distinct sexual orientation. It seems like taking one's spiritual inclinations and backpedaling into frivolous gender-political preoccupations. If one...

    Empirical Evidence for God

    I think that's a very silly question to ask. By "meta-reality" I mean to describe the design underlying the content of reality, akin to describing the physics by which a ball exists and interacts in its environment, as opposed to describing a ball and what you think the ball is doing. That seems...

    Empirical Evidence for God

    I can only speak from my own experience, but the question actually isn't even relevant. To explain why, there are experiences which---by virtue of the fact that such experience is even possible---previous conceptions of reality must be reformulated, as they are revealed as a tiny insufficient...
