How awesome! Congrats, it's gotta' feel absolutely amazing!!

Now I expect to see a mailbox with "The Boobs" on the side.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

We'll have an extra bedroom even including me using one as my office. If any of you find yourselves in the Boston area needing a space to stay, you know who to ping.

Congratulations, man. Hopefully y’all ain’t too sore by the end of it and actually get to kick back and enjoy the first night in the new place.

For sure. We already moved a bunch of smaller stuff and then hired movers for the rest. No throwing out my back for this.

I make pretty mean home fries and my wife does the omelettes. We got you covered.

Well you might have a permanent housemate if you go that far! Your wife and I can gossip in the evenings, get her turned onto GWF. Active recruiting

Lmao. Whatever works

Is she even remotely aware of the whole “Alu sucks” and the “man of 1,000 names” things? There are SOME things that take some time and patience to explain… and if she came in here blind I could imagine her having some interesting questions for you afterwards.

 

[Fait]

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Congrats!!

 

[shortkut]

Congrats @A Left Bag of Sand !

I've told her about the name changing thing but that's about it.

 

[Mark]

Yeaaah, I could imagine that could prove interesting if she found herself here and then suddenly started recognizing your nipple on a few profiles.

“Alu-boo… what IS going on here…?”

 

[Crystal]

Just the thought of her calling him Alu in the first place would be hilarious.

I added that part for flair. I take creative liberties.

 

[Crystal]

Just the thought of him coming home from work to "Oh, hey Alu!" or "so what's it today? A Left Boob...ok, lefty."

 

[Mark]

I didn’t put that much thought into it, I just thought it would be funny if that were the only instance his actual username was used.

 

[The Eye in the Sky!]

Congrats on not being homeless anymore.

That's awesome, congrats! I moved into mine the last week of August. I'm still getting settled in, but so far so good!

 

[A Maybe Baker]

I work from home so nope!

 

[Crystal]

We'll have to get her a ticker feed so when your name changes it goes straight to her and she can know what to call you

Im sure you or @Mark can find a script that automatically texts his wife when there is a name change… assuming he shares her number with you privately

 

[shortkut]

Or she sets up a google number so no one has her real number. My wife did that for work since work didn’t give her a separate work phone

We'll get her squared away on WhatsApp and use NTFY to get them sent, lol

 

[shortkut]

Time to change his name to: A message for your wife

That works.

Also I'm realizing that she knows about the name changes because of fantasy football. Also she knows this as "the place I play wolf with my Internet friends from 20 years ago"

I think carrier pigeon is the better option for such important news

Accurate! Also "home."

@Mark @Crystal are these too long for future name change options?

 

[Mark]

@Mark @Crystal are these too long for future name change options?

Yeah, they won’t let us manually override username lengths like the old days. I’ve never counted the exact number of characters to give an exact number, though.

 

[Crystal]

It can't be that low given @ColoradoAvalancheFanMatt has a lengthy name!

Let’s find out.

I'm partway through redoing the downstairs. Back in March there was a problem with the sump pump and there was like 6 inches of water down there. And that wasn't the only time that's happened in the last few years. So my dad ripped out all the sheetrock and the floor etc, used the insurance payout to get all the perimeter joists replaced and new sheetrock put up. Then we painted it and he put in a new floor back around the 4th. Here’s what it looks like right now:

I want to do something else with the ceiling but not sure yet what

Depending on where you live, I'd definitely keep the wood stove; I use one to heat my house during the winter and it cranks out the heat....

So AbnormallyLongUsernameBecauseWhyNot isn't out of the question

Precisely.

Precisely.

Whoo! Gotta' get really creative now!

Alphabet soup became relevant again

 

[Mark]

Alphabet soup became relevant again

Yeah, I decided not to keep that one for you since it was just a test… that isn’t official enough for you, you deserve more effort than that.

 

[A Maybe Baker]

A Left Can of Alphabet Soup

 

[Mark]

A Left Can of Alphabet Soup

Since you’re not legally allowed to pick your own name, I made a minor alteration.
