THE PACK Message Boards

Just some extra tidbits for yall. This event broke the record for the largest attendee numbers of any first year furry/anime convention. Over 650 paying attendees, and 92 of them were costumers. This means that nearly one out of ever six people was in a costume of some sort. Not all costumes were fu...

I've decided that I WILL be going to A-Kon. I'll be hanging out with the same costuming troupe as I did at Furry Fiesta, and this time be in costume myself as well. This will be the last A-Kon I go to while living in New Mexico. The drive just kills me every time. Hopefully by 2010 I'll be living in...

I'm back! OMG it was a blast! I'm told that compared to most other furry conventions this one was very laid back and low on attendance, but it was still one of the best conventions I've attended. Because of the lack of events to participate in the con goers did a lot of socializing, and even invente...

Well, I'm off to the con tomorrow morning. It's going to be a 10 hour drive. Laterz. I'll let yall know how it turns out.

Browsing Craig's List one day... I found this article for a car. The article was flagged and removed, and was probobly fake, but I was tempted to just call the guy with a tough guy accent and ask if it can out-jump the General Lee on a flat stretch of highway at 120 mph, and total every car on the r...

I like that text color idea. I think I'll adopt it. Green text is so much better than red. It says, "I'm here to help, not to destroy you."

The USA has only banned three games, all of which was related to sex scandals or underage nudity (very valid reasons). The purpose of the rating system in the states is as an "FYI" to let you know what kind of content is in store for you, or your children if that be the case, but not to su...

Posting here is an obligation? Exactly what I was thinking. Nobody is expecting anyone to post here on a regular basis. (Except maybe the admins. Blah. :P ) Some people drop off the face of the Earth and never come back, but still others announce their permanent or semi-permanent leave of the forum...

Sounds more like a fear factor than a mindset if you put it like that.

I'm going to this. It's final. I have a room reserved and cash in the bank saved. Just have to get my car checked over for any problems, and I'm good to go. This convention will present itself as a first impression of furry conventions for me, and if it goes well, I may do it again in the future. An...

I'm filing literally tonight. Five W-2 forms, a company investment form, and a good amount of United Way donations. I'm getting a BIG refund after all. I'm going to H&R Block to make sure that it's all covered. The Turbo Tax website is limited and confusing when it comes to complex deductions.

I keep hearing words like "rank" and "pack hierarchy". I'd like to think that we dont have such a thing here. Most of my time on this forum is just spend randomly chatting. I don't go into admin-mode unless I have to, so I'm just a regular member most of the time. Other admins an...

We still have time to plan for this, but its too early to know what time on Friday would be best. I wouldn't mind spending all of my Friday with the Pack since its the day most of everyone will be there. Reserving a conference room is a far cry form possible, considering that they cost quite a pritt...

... I have this nagging feeling that something will occur. I have no clue what it is, though. The planet will line up with the black hole at the center of the galaxy. Yes, 2012 is just observed by the Mayans as segnificant because of a cosmological event. Such events at such great distances have no...

@ Terastas: Get a bank savings account that only you can access. You can't count on your mother to handle your finances, or to fight the urge to find your stash of cash. Thats why I always have had direct deposit, and a savings account with only my name on it. @ outwarddoodles: Self repair. There ar...

So talking to someone at Merrill Lynch or Fidelity Investments would be a good idea? Hmmmm.

I'm on top of the world again. 8) :lol: I have to try and enjoy life the way young people do while I'm still young enough to do it. This week I made new friends, I go out more, I work on art projects, I reassembled/upgraded my computer, and even did some enjoyable unmentionable things. :wink: Stress...

Hey Redeye, where might someone go to get advice and/or assistance with investing money?

Ok, there's a lot of terminology in there I don't understand, and most I can guess pritty well at dispite the fact. I don't play Halo 3 or have a 360.

What is HLG?

Anyways, I have a simple solution. Mute the player. Let him talk to himself.

According to string theory, there are eleven dimensions with a missing twelvth dimension. The 12th dimension hasn't been proven by mathmatics yet due to a lot of anomolies in the math, but supposedly if the five theories of string theory can be tied together by this 12th dimension, it can finally li...

Probobly getting a big enough refund to pay off my credit card. Not much extra after that. If everyone uses their refunds to pay off debts, the economy will improve a bit.

I honestly beleive everyone will be getting smaller refunds this year to offset the government's national debt increase.

For now, I'm going to lock this thread. I'm on the road at the moment, and don't have time to ponder individual actions or send private messages. Consider this a Strike One - for this thread. The action is not made against any member in particular, unless the other moderators choose to send a priva...

I had a nervous breakdown last Wednesday. That hasn't happened to me in close to eight years. I have a mild manic depression that surfaces when I'm under stress, so it got pritty bad this week. I'm just taking steps to releive stress and keep my cool. I'm still on a hair trigger until my stress is r...

I'd approch slowly. If it snapped at me too wildly when reaching for the trap, and my coaxing didn't calm it, I'd be forced to leave it to its fate. Aside from being turned into a werewolf, you can get nasty diseases even from human bites. I've been in this situation before when in the rockies. A po...
