First fix:
  • open the menu at the top

  • go back to the Forum Index
  • open the menu at the top again
  • click Mark forums read
    this will zero the unread anything for you, so you can strive forth into the exciting world of the new cookie thing.


Because the board got shutdown again because of a load of database, I had to fettle with the settings again.
As part of that, the server no longer stores what topics you have or haven't read.
IT IS STILL RECORDED!
But now, that information lives in a delicious cookie, rather than the forum database.

Upside: this should reduce the load of database.
Downside: if you use multiple devices to access the board, or you reject delicious cookies, you won't always have that information cookie. But the New Posts feature should take care of that.

If you cannot Debauch because you get an IP blacklist error, try Debauching again time. It may work immediately, it may take a few attempts. It will work eventually, I don't think I had to click debauch more than three times. Someone is overzealous at our hosting company, but only on the first couple of attempts.

If you have problems logging in, posting, or doing anything else, please get in touch.
You know the email (if you don't, see in the registration info below), you know where to find the Administerrerrerr on the Midget Circus.


Some unpleasant miscreant was firing incessant database queries at our server, which forced the Legal Department of our hosting company, via their Abuse subdivision, to shut us down. No I have none.
All I can do it button the hatches, and tighten up a few things. Such as time limits on how long you may take to compose a post and hit Debauch! As of 24/01/10, I've set that at 30 minutes for now.

To restrict further overloads, any unregistered users had to be locked out.
How do we know who is or isn't an unregistered user?
By forcing anyone who wants in to Log In.
Is that annoying?
Yes. But there's only so much the Administerrerrerr can do to keep this place running.

This was the funniest thread I'd read in a while and now I wanna know how it all turned out, damnit!

Things worked out worse than I had planned.
I never got the chance to make what I wanted to make for her, and since I knew I couldn't afford a big weekend out, I figured that I would at least take her on a fun date.
In the meantime, I also know how she hates having a messy environment, and having the two of us crammed into one little room makes it so it's ALWAYS messy. It drives her nuts. I figured that, if I can't take her on a nice trip, I can at least make the home environment as nice as possible, so I skipped a couple of classes, and spent hours making our room as spotless and organized as possible.

Rewind back to the date idea... I sat down and figured out how much I had left over after bills, and as it turned out, I had about $100 (and now it turns out that even THAT estimate was grossly exaggerated; I'm beyond poor). That $100, btw was supposed to last me until March 29th.
In realizing that I've got an impossible sum of money to last me a really long time, I was so stressed that I wanted to cry, and feeling like shit because I'm totally empty handed for her birthday.
This is just before she gets home, which is bad timing, coz nobody wants their partner in that kind of mood on their birthday.

So I tell her that I'll at least cook her a nice dinner. She says she wants a pasta dish with shrimp and capers. I come up with an orzo recipe and we head out to the store for ingredients.
Ingredients that cost $35.
When we get to the check out stand, she wanders off and leaves me to pay. Now bear in mind that my girl has plenty of cash, so needless to say, the fact that I was made to shell out 35% of the paltry sum of money I was supposed to be living off of for the next 6 weeks didn't fill me full of joy. I didn't make a deal of it (didn't even say anything) because it's her birthday, but shit man, that sucked.
She did bring it up later, saying that she felt bad about making me pay, but didn't really offer to rectify the situation.

So the next day, I wasn't exactly in a thrilled mood. She picked up on that, one thing led to another, and we broke up. Her beef was that she made a big deal about my birthday, and felt that I didn't do shit for hers (as if I didn't even care). My beef was that I did all I could, but being in the middle of midterms, and not having enough money to even survive made it impossible to do anything but offer a clean place and try to at least cook her a nice dinner, and that she didn't really seem to get it or give a shit (as evidenced by the $35 dinner).

There are reasons way beyond just the birthday, basic human differences and such, but that was the final straw. We're still good friends, and neither of us are completely opposed to ever getting back together, but for now it's kaput.

Ah, crap. Sorry to hear it. BTDT. Money imbalances can really stress a relationship, and the more decent and honorable the poorer partner is, the harder it can be to maintain, especially around special occasions.

Hey Shit, lots of us have been there. And money problems + long distance relationship = shitty terms. The distance thing almost ended my marriage. Plus there were financial issues for one of you? Baaaad news.

When I met my wife and proposed to her, I was a pooor grad student, maybe making $10-12K a year. Then I landed my first full-time teaching job. But It was in SoCal, while my wife was finishing her degree in Albuquerque. That year almost ruined us, but to make things worse, a couple months into my teaching stint (high school) I was miserable because I'm no HS teacher. I was an epic failure. I started and ended the day depressed every day. Plus, I was 800 miles from my wife. I was thinking aboput quitting and teaching part time college instead, which meant going from $39K per year, to maybe $16-19K per year, no benefits, with a school loan debt of close to $50K. And she being a foreign student, tuition was about $4K per semestter, then the regular rent and food and stuff. We would be hurting.

But My wife said it was that simple. I had to quit and teach where I was happiest. When I said that this means we could be poor for a loong time, she said we were poor when she said yes to marry me. She said yes to marry me, not the money I was (not) making,and if we can be poor and happy once, we'll do it together again.

I've since landed a good teaching job, and wanted to give her a better ring about 5 years ago--maybe $4-5K. You know what she did? She took it back, saying there's better things we can do with our money, like pay off more of our our house off, or even ::::listen to this:::: use some of that money to get me a better leather and helmet and boots because my gear was really old and natty.

That's why she's a keeper, and why we're celebrating our 11th anniv next month.

And Bubba--there are alot of other women out there who think llike her. You're a good egg. Remember that.
