Thinking about listing this on craigslist....
Wanted: 1-2 bedroom house, washer/dryer hookups, quiet neighborhood, safe neighborhood with no bars on windows, not on a busy street, cats ok for $1100 and under. Willing to pay extra deposit for cats. Cats are well mannered and have never destroyed carperting. Have excellent references, lived in current place for 7 years, moving because landlord is selling property. Locations interested in: Benicia, Vallejo, Pleasant Hill, Oakland..i'm open..
======================================================
How its going so far.....I looked at a couple of places today..scary..bad neighborhoods, one on a busy street, one was a 2 bedroom house that was smaller than the studio i currently live in..scary...one guy i talked to was ok with cats then almost like his wife was standing there...said no,no, no, cats, we just put in new carpet..like he freaked or something..why do people assume that cats are going to ruin the carpet? My cats don't even like carpet..they prefer my bed (lol) and so far they haven't messed with the new couch that much but carpet..never.
i'm stressed..i know i need to find something but then again part of me thinks maybe i should stop stressing and just relax because something always happens when I'm least expecting it too..i got this place out of sheer luck..i wish i could buy it, i wish it was worth buying.....

My landlord gave me essentially a 30 day notice yesterday, he is selling the property - putting it on the market in 5 weeks..which is April 1st (april fools day - the irony). He wants me to buy it but the only way I could afford to pay 399K for this place is to triple the rent of the current tenants in the main house and double my rent in this little cottage and I'm tired of living in this little place....so maybe its a sign that I've outgrown my space and need to move on....
but with 5 cats, a mouse and a fish..i'm never going to find a place that will rent to me (ok maybe never is a strong word - but almost impossible) so the next idea is to buy. I can't afford anything more than 250K and that is if I pay mins on my credit cards for one year, then my car will be paid up or if I can get a debt consolidation loan rolled up in my mortgage loan to pay off the car and the credit cards then I could afford a little more on the mortgage..(i guess maybe i should see if I can get pre-qualified for a loan first)
either I rent for one more year at double what I'm currently paying and wait for the car to be paid off, save some money and then buy or just buy now but I wanted a home not a condo..either way I have 1 month to come up with 2000.00 to move in an apt or a down on a house..anyone have 2000.00 i can borrow????
I'm a little stressed...and where do I move? I like Benicia, its close to work or Oakland/Berkeley..its reverse commute and I can't afford Pleasant Hill. I know that magick happens and i will find a place to move too and I will somehow come up with 2000 to move..but right now, i'm freaking a little...

anyone remember how this goes..logic statement
something about:
all cows can fly
all cows are purple
therefore all purple cows can fly
i'm missing something..can't remember if there was another supporting statement.
and curious question, I've seen this statement 1+1=3, i know that I seen the reason it makes sense but can't find the answer..

this thought popped into my head yesterday on the way to work and amazingly enough after very little sleep the last two days, i remember what i was thinking about: fuzzy logic:
A type of logic that recognizes more than simple true and false values. With fuzzy logic, propositions can be represented with degrees of truthfulness and falsehood. webopedia definition
I think I can understand why the fact that I don't have an accounting degree didn't matter to this current company I work for, everytime I do the books, they get changed by the corporate group controller..we made too much money, get rid of it, the bottom line has to be xxx but no more than that, etc...its called creative accounting((moving the profit somewhere to hide it) - which I don't like at all but in thinking about it, it reminds me a little of fuzzy logic
Why it reminds me of fuzzy logic, accounting is about true and false values. If the corporate controller is using his own perceived ideas of what we should be making as a bottom line and trust me on this one, I'll never get it right, because everytime I think I get it right, he changes his mind...so bearing in mind that fuzzy logic is propostions with a degree of truthfulness and falsehood then the corporate bottom line represents a falseness with a degree of truthfulness because I am now tracking all their changes via an account (cya), therefore the bottom line reported is 100% true for the group and 0% true for the actuals that happened that month.
Another way to say this is and i think makes a little more sense:
Ø in fuzzy logic, exact reasoning is viewed as a limiting case of approximate reasoning
o the group controller exact reasoning is based on the greatest or least amount or number allowed or possible for his approximate reasoning of our bottom line
Ø in fuzzy logic everything is a matter of degree
o apparently the group thinks that the bottom line is a matter of degrees
Ø Any logical system can be fuzzified
Ø in fuzzy logic, knowledge is interpreted as a collection of elastic or, equivalently , fuzzy constraint on a collection of variables
o the bottom line is interpreted as a collection of someone's knowlegde on how the outcome will be no matter what
Ø Inference is viewed as a process of propagation of elastic constraints.
o the act or process of deriving logical conclusions from premises known or assumed to be true - known to someone, not me but apparently to the group controller
points derived from what do you mean fuzzy?

first of all I need to write this down so I don't have to keep trying to find it:
changing the desktop website wysiwyg editor size (only for advanced users)
Open Radio > Tools > Developers > Jump > system.verbs.builtins.html.editor.wysiwygEditor
2nd line of code: <table id="editorTable" width="90%" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="0" border="1" bgcolor="gainsboro">
changing the width percentage to 90% today..because my screen looks bigger..last week it was set at 80%
I swear its my monitor, cats jump on it, it changes itself, it rains it changes itself..its possessed I swear

was thinking about getting a tattoo along my spine..but I'm not sure what I want to do..somehow it needs to tie in with the dreamcatcher on my right shoulder and the one on my lower back..hmm, maybe I need to have a picture taken of my back so i can get ideas from everyone..
I defintely want to fix the one on my foot..currently it looks like this  I'm thinking of putting a dragonfly somewhere between the stars and the moon..a purple dragonfly..maybe that would look cool...maybe re-color this one too.. I like this picture of a dragonfly

why does it take so long to upstream a picture?
I've noticed that if my screen resolution is 800 x 600 then my desktop website is skewed and if my resolution is 1024 x768 then its fine..shouldn't it work either way? I'd changed the screen resolution but my monitor is a piece of crap..i know it, everyone that sees it knows it but I don't have the money to get a flat screen just yet..someday..but why is my desktop so skewed?
I've got a copy of Rogers' Radio Kickstart and a radio userland mug..thanks scott..I've been distracted and a little busy with this new job..I haven't had a lot of time to blog or help out on the discussion board..or even write newbie tips..so if you've been wondering about something or need help with anything..I'm back on track and have time again to write newbie tips.
It is possible to link to something on my computer without uploading it to Radio? I want to link to a song on my computer..or do I need to upload it to the Radio servers?

i was in a valentine's blue mood yesterday, i want to have the flowers and the romance of valentine's day and the last person I expected to hear from was DE wishing me a happy valentine's day..it was cute and adorable and everything i needed to hear to snap me out of my mood. I miss talking to him about everyday things and we cleared the air on some issues..it was great hearing from him again and maybe we'll get together soon and hang out..he made me smile again and pulled me out of my funk..thanks deepblue...

as i was getting my morning coffee, I happened to look down and discovered my sixth cat who roams is sound asleep in a little ball. He is the sweetest little guy but I haven't seen him more than occasionally..he'll disappear for months and months at a time - I think someone in the neighborhood must have adopted him. The last couple of months, he has come home more frequently..i wonder did the people move away and leave him? I originally named him Meme..spirt of the wind, which actually fit his personality..I've always wondered what to do if I move, do I take him with me? will i be able to find him when i move?
I'll post a picture later..he keeps moving everytime I try to take one :)

playing with a theme change idea..
also noticed something interesting..whenever I use the hyperlink button instead of coding the link in the source code..it skews my desktop website, making this area wider
ok what am I missing..I changed the #template and save the copy and now am posting something new to the category..now why won't it upstream?? ok..stupid me, its the #hometemplate design I'm changing..:)

last night or earlier this morning when I went to bed..I took some allergy medicine, its that time of the year when all the cats are shedding and its driving my allergies nuts..I should know better, I can't sleep when I take it...
so as I lay in bed with my mind racing..I figured why not, just get up..I think I slept like two hours..should make for an interesting day
I did a rune reading and also wrote a new poem - df inspired - have been inspired lately..also was thinking about changing my theme yet again..but don't think I have time before I need to head off to work..must finally go through box from last job..need stuff :)

i wonder why I can stay up all night til 5am but the thought of getting up at 5am to get to work early is hard for me..why are some people programmed to be night owls and some totally happy morning people..for me its quiet at night, nothing is happening and i get alot of things done..
my boss wants me to get to work early..said something that I miss alot of action at 7am..I know I'd be an utter space if I got to work that early..I'd still be half alseep. Although I do want a normal schedule soon..but when I was getting home at 6pm, I didn't know what to do with myself
I am going to bed soon..just waiting for invoices to print out..tomorrow I'll finish the books after I go shopping (i've had returns from christmas..yikes)
random thoughts..does anyone like simon and garfunkle..totally mellow music to listen to at 4am..and I found this song I really like "kiss from a rose" by Seal...downloaded it from somewhere I guess but very mellow music..wish I had a keyboard, I could make music like that....next new toy after the DVD player and a new desk..then a keyboard
and why the hell can't I upstream a picture tonight..yes, its still my night
