It be in a Pirate's Day
Good morning this is me. We’re at home right now and we have about 40 minutes to go. We’re all packed and set to go and we’ve taken our shower and medicine. Rich is in the shower at this moment. AND, the farm and pirate ship is taken care of for now. There is about a minute and then we’ll go back, just for a second … we’ve got someone on the run JOk, did that and now I got to wait another 5 minutes. The first time I attacked him – his name is Zeus I gained 140,000 points and then the second time I got 70,000. This is the maximum the game allows at least at this level. I’ve only had a couple of 70,000 this morning. Most of them are like really low – say 8 or 246. That’s hard on the spirit. Plus I think there are more people able to fight back. My ration is about 87% wins on the fights. That’s ok, but not perfect.
I think that I’ve got about 250 plays – which mostly means the plundering and I’ve got twice that in fights. I wish that I could control my thoughts here as to time put in, but I love it. I’m now at a level one past Joe and if we were to fight I would win hehehe. Good Mom!
Yah, this be the life of a busy Ann. I find myself going back to check about every 2 ½ hours or so, because that’s how much time it takes to rejuvenate. I’m at about 28 strength points and it takes 5 minutes for each point.
Ok that’s good … what’s next?
Hmm, we went in to see Dr. Marvin last night that was something. I have to remember that we aren’t going to be seeing him next Thursday, but can change things so we see him either on Tuesday or Friday. I think it’s going to depend on if there is a deposition next Friday. We’ll have to wait and see.
We talked a good part on the things going on with my sister. I think as to a general overview, Dr. Marvin put a damper on the idea in that he said there’s no guarantee that things will go well continuously or that they wouldn’t have to sell the place after we’d made an investment.
These are good things to consider. I don’t know how to avoid those problems at this point. I want to say that blood is thicker than water and that we would be ok with the trust level, but then if push came to shove, CS would have to protect her family first which might mean at some point, she could sell the place and we’d be stuck.
I think giving the situation the benefit of the doubt – she might not want to do something like that, but if they got in financial straits, then it might be her only option. She would always have to have her immediate family in first priority like we would. We could write in something to say that we’d get paid first for our investment or given the first option to buy, but then she’d have to protect herself before she’d protect us.
One of the things that Dr. Marvin suggested was that we could look for something independent of her place. I don’t think that’s going to work, because the cost is prohibitive, but it’s something that has to be considered. We’ll hopefully talk to Rich about it during the drive tonight. I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t jump into anything, especially since he’s never even met CS and Mark or seen the place. I would like to hear that we could continue to talk it over. That be the best deal for now. In a sense it would be good for him to talk and help us work through the alternatives, so we can combat each of the limitations as they come up in mind or practicality.
We’ll see …
Yesterday we started to work through the process of trying to get the computer set up for the 2007 Microsoft programs. I can see online where it is that they are stored, but I tried the download and something glitched, and then when I tried it again we ran out of time. I will try it again today earlier in the day and see what happens. I need to follow directions explicitly to see what works, or at which point I get held up.
It will be good to get that ready. I think from what I saw that we might be able to do the program just 2 times. I would like to put obviously one set on this computer, and then I have to think through whether I put it on my other big home computer, or the work computer, or if I save it for somewhere down the line. I forgot how long it is til we can use the Microsoft program again through Tech Soup, but I think it’s at least 1 to 3 years. Hopefully just one year.
Hmm, almost time to get going … is there anything else right away? Hmm, maybe something more about Dr. Marvin – we talked about the situation with the legal stuff with Rich’s wife, and I’m not sure if we got too far there.
Oh yeah … and we showed him pictures that we took up at CS place. That was kind of nice. The computer picked up the Internet. We didn’t get a chance to show him our pirate thing, but we did tell him that we’ve been really on board with that. We just hit 10 million and it’s taken a couple of days to get there. We are well on the way toward the 17 million mark where we can pick up our income by twice as much. Then we’re going to need building up our defenses because we’re pretty sure people are going to come after that kind of big bucks. I’ll probably be one of those people when not cleared will pay out 140,000 the first time and then 70,000 after until it is depleted. Yeeks THAT be scary!
Ok, better head out … we want to be on good record, because we’re going to talk to sister about leaving some Friday’s at 2 pm … we’ve got to tell her somewhat of the truth in that we’re getting a chance to be out of town more. I can’t tell her that we’re going out of town with Rich, but somewhere we need to let her know that this might be a fairly regular thing if not for going with Rich going up to my sisters. I had told her of a friend through MP.com – so maybe that will be our thing.
I know that it’s like lying, but we’ve been so much in protection of the relationship to Rich that we’ve got to do that the best we can without lying too much. The best thing would be to not tell her anything just say that we have other opportunities to leave earlier and be making more of our weekends. I’m going to need offering her a little more time back during the week. That would be the fairest thing.
Ok, better get going!
