When my friends and I were at the Ghibli Museum, we had a small light brown one visit us while we were eating lunch outside. We first noticed it on someone's drink bottle, but it was keen to climb on us and explore too. Here it is navigating the forest on me.
Had a premium parking space, right next to handicap spots and right near the front door of the store.
So as I am backing out, a lady basically drives hood to hood near my car, and she's going the wrong way in a one way lane. I do the finger point thingy and say "One Way!". She mouths, "I want that spot!". I tell her again, "One Way!", to which again she mouths "I want that spot".
I roll down my window, give her the *roll down your window gesture* which she does. "I want that spot!" she says in a heavy redneck accent. I say "This is a one way lane, and you're going the wrong way. Go around if you want the spot". Again she says "But I want that spot!".
The gloves don't come off, but I loosen them a bit. "Lady. You are going the wrong way. One way means one way only. See these arrows? You are supposed to follow them. If there is only an arrow going out, don't go in. If there is an arrow going in, proceed. And if there are arrows going in and out, have a ball."
Classy as she looked, she said "Well F&&k you!" and peeled her kia out of there.
Icing on the cake was that as soon as she peeled out someone else got my space.
Good. I don't understand the people that will drive around the parking lot for 5 minutes looking for a close spot when they could have walked in and out of the store 5 times already. I've almost called out the idiots parking in the fire lane at my grocery store a few times recently too. It's been really bad recently even when the lot isn't that full and they could park just 4 or 5 spots down any of the lanes right in front of the store.
When we still lived in apartments, our parking lot was set up in such a way that there were one-way 'streets', which were essentially one lane wide. If your unit (lol) was on the opposite side, you followed the arrows, and sometimes you had to go around. Even the parking spots were set up in the same way. Angled a single way so you shouldn't be able to park in them.
Several times I'd come home and some jacknuts was going the opposite way. I'd point to the arrows as well as the spots and basically tell em "its obvious, look at your surroundings. Youre going the wrong way."

I highly recommend The Goonies. The US only got the second game because Konami thought the first one wasn't as impressive, and it's not, but it's still a pretty solid action/platform game.
Also from Konami, I recommend Kid Dracula. It's a parody/spinoff of Castlevania that's easily on par with the other NES installments. Why we never got that one, I'll never know.
If you like shmups, there's Parodius Da!, another great Konami game we never got here (I'm sensing a pattern...).
I'm not a glitch, I just have pixlexia.

I talked to my Great Aunt about purchasing her home on the street I grew up on, and she gave me her offer. It's got all of the furniture in it (she says expensive and was bought in the 50s, solid wood and it all still looks new) new appliances, new carpeting, basically un-lived in for the last six years. She got it appraised at $127,000, and is asking $100,000 for it. Problem is that she won't take a finance plan, she wants it in full.
The problem with this is that I'm not sure if I can get a home loan for a home that is out of state. I don't really know how those things work, but I am pessimistic of it working out for us. Jinx and I have good credit, but we have been told that it is 'too young'. I don't understand how a young couple at 21 and 24 is too young (with our credit history, I can see where people would think it is odd for a 'kid' with no record to apply), especially when we have a child together. We came out here to build the foundation for our future, but it seems that we have another hurtle to jump over.
This just means that we have to look into other options. It's not like it will leave us homeless, but I would have liked to live there. We would have another 2.5 years before we could move back anyway, but it would have been nice to stay in our own home instead of with my in-laws or parents.
Do you guys have any advice? I know that this subject has come up before, and most of you have been through purchasing your own homes. Any advice would be much appreciated.
