Just tell him that a 5 is for exceptional traders, and that he didn't meet that criteria.

I'd just move on and never trade with him again. People like that exist and things like this happen through no fault of your own. You have 355 refs, I don't think anyone's going to look at someone that gave you a 2 and refuse to trade with you, especially if they look deeper into it. You also weren't BTA'd (something that probably SHOULD happen if the feedback is worthy of a 2) and you clearly sent a ref-check, something people don't do if they're expecting to get a bad response.

I disagree with the "tell him 5 is for exceptional traders" thing. If he's already given you retaliatory feedback for a 4 and sent that sort of pm, he's not going to understand all of a sudden what the theory is behind the numbers and what they're supposed to mean. And in practice, it's either a 5 (positive), less-than-5 (positive/neutral), or no ref (would have been negative; just doesn't send ref-check). If people even bother to look, which I doubt.

There is a contest on a Brazilian version of Facebook for pets. Think of it as 'PetBook'.

Don't ask.

First place gets a professional photobook of their pet. My dear mother in law wants me to ask people I know for votes. If anyone can help, click here:

Some of the cards I was just borrowing too. I'm so upset Foiled Windborn Muse, gone. All my rebels, gone. Conspiracy, Ghostly Prison, propaganda, commander tower.. all gone.

Oh no, that's terrible. Was anything else taken? If not I'd check around with people or "friends" that play magic with you and Tom. Anyone failry new to the playgroup? If you remember more of the stuff (rebels etc) I wouldn't mind helping you to get some of them back as a gift from me. I know for a fact I have 5 Lin-Sivvi.

Drop me a line of what you're missing and I'll check it out. Won't ease the pain or the fact that you were violated, but mayne would be nice to get some of that stuff back. Also sorry to hear about the job situation

We didn't have any of Magic buddies over during the time it went missing. We're fairly positive it was one of the idiot kids in the building. We don't lock the door during the day, because my kids are in and out all day long. We figure one of the kids in the building just opened our door, came in and took while the kids and I were out.

I do have another Linn Sivvi, it's just not altered. Maybe I can get in touch with RK Post and see if he'd mind altering it for me.

I'd have to sit and think about what rebels were in it. Cho-Manno was, Cho-arim bruiser, themal and nightwing gliders.. But I'm fairly sure that I have more copies of the commons. I don't think I have another Cho-Manno. I don't know. I just hate this.

Thanks,
Jazaray

The comments on that post are full of stupid, but then, so are comments on every politically-oriented topic in every corner of the internet.

It' not much, but hey, gotta pay the bills until we get a job.

Cheers!

PM your addy.

I might have a few cards able to throw your way.

Also, RK Post is fairly easy to get a hold of.

Being unemployed and job hunting is such a horrible situation. You work on cover letters and resumes, scour the internets for job postings, talk to people but for all your hard work you often get no response at all. There must be some e-black hole that swallows all resumes whole. I have a cushion to work with but I'd prefer to be employed sooner rather than later as I was hoping to use a big chunk of it on a down payment for a house.

Nobody can do suspense like him, except maybe Stephen King. Looking back though I can see that Crichton used strawmen at practically every friggin opportunity, which is kind of disappointing. And good lord, the sexism.

All that aside, Sphere is far and away the most terrifying novel I have ever read, and easily one of the best books I've ever read. The Stand is the only book that even comes close.

Did you mean this one?

As of this morning, I have lost 10 pounds now, just from relatively minor modifications to what I eat. Instead of a Monster in the morning and 2 to 3 sodas throughout the day, I only drink Crystal Light, with the occassional apple juice or such when at a restaurant. No more fast food, or when it's a must, I go for a chicken wrap or something like that. I eat carrots almost constantly to keep from snacking on bad foods, plus it's made a world of difference for portion control, which has been my true downfall over the years, and it's oatmeal or cottage cheese and fruit for breakfast, turkey sandwiches for lunch usually, and a salad before dinner, and something somewhat healthy for dinner. All of these things are changes that I will be able to maintain for the long run without much difficulty. I am kind of surprised that after almost a month, I still haven't developed any real cravings for some kind of junk food. I haven't yet started my exercise program, since once some more weight comes off that will be easier, but that is my plan for once the weight loss from my eating changes levels off.
