The final 8 breaking bad episodes are gonna be tits. I hope Jesse survives.

VB really did come back strong last night. I wonder why he hasn't been posting because he clearly kept up with what's happening. Unlike speedz who just wanders in like a lost child in the middle of a movie.

Well I clicked on the next page button like 6 weeks ago. It just finally loaded yesterday.

The money you make from writing the great book will just be whatever you think you're going to be making in real life now. So you think you're going to make $100k (adjusted for inflation of course) a year at the top of your career, then that's what the book gets you. The point being don't consider this choice to be a financial windfall, but it also doesn't mean you have to sacrifice financially for it either.

Loogie, I said in the hypothetical that you make millions. Owen Wilson in MiP seemed to be doing ok.



Let's say you just won a "dream house" contest. You can choose from these options:

5,000 square foot mansion with all the latest amenities. You live in a neighborhood surrounded by similar houses (not like cookie-cutter, but just other mansions). Your property is fairly small however, so you don't have much yard space.

1,500 square foot house with standard amenities. But you have 50 acres of land surrounding you. Mostly just open area, but if you want a lot of trees or something, you can have that. No lake or river though.

2,000 square foot house with standard amenities. But you're right on a lake. You have no real yard (you know, because of the lake). There are other houses around the lake next to you. (You can swap in THE BEACH instead of a lake if you want.)

3,000 square foot penthouse condo with all the latest amenities. Obviously no yard. You live in the heart of a major U.S. city.

Am I missing another comparable option?

What do you pick?

Beach.

All of that makes perfect sense.

Until you read strats posts on the subject over the last few months.

Oh yeah strat's posts are bound to clear things up.

I don't understand why everyone is giving strat the wrong advice.

To me, when a girl invites me to stay at her house, unless she is married (and maybe even then) it is effectively an invitation into her panties. Especially when I've been in them before. Especially when getting to her involves crossing an ocean.

Humor her and pretend you have no feelings for her until then (she's testing you to see if you can do this, no self-respecting modern woman can admit to herself that she's arranging a cross-atlantic booty call), and then once you're there, laaaay the ol' pipe.

Seems pretty simple. Sheesh.

Man, anyone who would pose as a girl to lure someone over the internet into a relationship is seriously nuts.
