No more apple talk... It just causes useless arguments. As long as you all have working computers the brand really doesn't matter.

[wtcii]

True..

[Mike]

It's as arbitrary as what color your shirt is at the end of the day

[wtcii]

Agreed. I was just pleased with the ease of upgrading and the cost of it.

Tint came out pretty good, a little lighter than expected though... So the human body has a set of muscles invthe abdominal region... Mine are so sore.

Man, this motherfucking heat is ridiculous.  It hit 108º today in Cincinnati  today with the "heat index" and tomorrow is supposed to be worse.  I hope it's cooler up in Toledo.

[exelr8]

Yeah it was ridiculous today it got up to about 110 on my car thermometer. It was so hot I'd get out of the car and a minute later be pouring sweat.

I'm just surprised that the summer is so long out here.  I'm used to 3 weeks of nice summer weather, and shitty weather the rest of the year.

It's not that bad here quit being so negative.

[timot_one]

I realize it was an exaggeration.  But to be completely honest, the summers are very short in New England.  Usually they were plagued by a good amount of bad weather too.  Remember June of 2009?  It rained the entire month.  Literally every day. 

I know you love New England Mike.  I think between the two of us, you overlook the negative parts and I magnify them.  In all honesty, I still think it's a great place to visit, especially in the summer.  But being someone that didn't grow up there, I never got used to the area and the people.  You must admit that it's very expensive to buy a home when you compare it to other areas of the country.  I was looking at homes around where I live now, and there is no way I would be able to afford some of the stuff I was looking at.  Just in comparison between where I used to live, and where I'm living now, the cost of housing is 71% lower.  That's a dramatic difference.

[Mike]

But you were close to the city. There are areas in Rhode Island where the housing cost isn't that dramatic. Public transportation tends to inflate the cost of homes in the suburbs of MA because it makes it so easy to access the city. This causes an influx of higer earning indiviuals to flock these areas and naturally the cost of the homes increases because they become in demand.

That's why I love where I live. Big enough city to have a city night life and small enough to know everybody. The suburbs are far enough away from the city to where the property values are great and the cost of living is low. One thing I find interesting is the fact that a few of the suburbs on the out skirts of chattanooga are their own incorporated cities. There are 7 different police departments in this county alone.

I kinda wish I had that here where I live but I also like where I live. The people, on the other hand, I can't fucking stand.

I would love to live in the burbs if I could afford it.  I'm stuck renting in Brooklyn for a while.

[wtcii]

I live in downtown Starkville and I love it. I don't like the parking/traffic though.
