Angela Newman33 said:So, do you think I could swing by that little shop out in the suburbs tomorrow and park the monthly rental on the patio there until Thursday?

I'll give you a ring in the morning once I finally deal with this couch situation... don't sweat it, we'll get it sorted...

Nathan Ramirez11 said:I wouldn't exactly go betting the house on Thursday, but hey, whatever... let's roll with it.☕

Yeah, you're right about that... I can make Tuesday work.😁

Angela Newman33 said:slowly but surely making progress

The water and sewer lines are officially in the ground now.
We were actually thinking about tackling the glazing work while we're at it,
but first we've gotta deal with hauling in some sand—which is honestly becoming a bigger headache than expected—and then grab that mixer from our buddies out in rural Pennsylvania.
To get all that moved, we’re definitely going to need to rent a van or a small truck.

I'm free to swing by tomorrow or Thursday if anyone needs me...

It’s honestly on another level... and freaking incredible...

So, my new bed is finally showing up this Saturday... should be here right around noon...

Angela Newman33 said:It’s not like a massive amount of money, but I’m pretty much tapped out right now
I've only got about $67 left from what I managed to scrape together

Look, we’ll figure it all out, we just need to make it through the day first.🙂

As soon as we get our hands on the final pricing and all the nitty-gritty details, we’re hitting the ground running. It's honestly not even that huge of a sum... and more importantly, it's actually going to make a difference for people who need it.

Angela Newman33 said:they’re dealing with some seriously sketchy electrical issues over there

It’s actually happened a few times now where the power cord running from their outlet just straight up melted or frayed apart. Honestly, if nobody had been home, they could have easily torched the whole house—especially since they’re basically pulling juice from the main building through a cheap extension cord rather than a direct line.

A heavy-duty, thick-gauge cable—the kind that wouldn't give them a heart attack every time they plug something in—is gonna run me about $800-$333 for the 50 meters they need to stretch out.

But even then, swapping in one beefier cord isn't exactly a permanent fix for a setup this messy.

Basically, it's a total disaster.

Look, let's just get that thicker cable sorted out for now, at least as a stopgap, because living like that is just plain undignified...

Angela Newman33 said:fingers crossed the power comes back on

I’m basically sitting here with my hands tied, honestly.

It all boils down to whether their big boss decides to be decent and let them flip the switch to get us reconnected,
or if we’re stuck shelling out for a whole new service connection—which, let's face it, would probably take us two years of side hustles just to scrape together the cash.😢

Is there seriously some company out there that wouldn't just fix this immediately???

Keith Cook2 said:😲😲

🤣🤣🤣

What, you don't know how to pick up the phone? I'm heading back out to Santa Barbara tomorrow(!?), but I should be free to swing by after 5 PM to grab that stuff...

Way to go... catch ya later..

Angela Newman33, hit me up about that bed...

bluewalker92 said:Okay, now you're taking it a bit too far... Look, there are certain voids in the American supporter scene, and we basically exist right in the middle of two massive gaps... One gap separates us from those two huge groups where we just can't compete on sheer numbers, and the other separates us from all the rest of the American clubs where we're clearly seen as "something more" than just another bunch of fans...

That's spot on, honestly... No matter how you slice it, the navy is still in a league of its own compared to everyone else out there... It’s kind of a bummer, really, because the competition is practically non-existent...

Nathan Lopez85 said:Cows shouldn't be trying to fix anyone's insecurities around here, you guys had a chance yesterday to 😉

I’m not gonna get all worked up about it because I actually think the Fleet is a solid group, mostly because of their vibe and that unique style they've always had...
The thing is, are you even aware of what kind of nonsense you just typed out? What "insecurities" are we even talking about, seriously? And what "chance" did we have? You guys have dedicated choreographies to us so many times that I honestly just take it as a sign of respect and admiration—it couldn't be anything else...
Anthony Thomas12 is basically one of the biggest clueless fans out there, so his rambling isn't really worth a response... as for the sub-groups, clearly that's something that eats at certain people... look, we're the Ultras, and there are hardly any groups in all of Europe that have sub-groups like we do, that's a fact. One of those Fleets knows that pretty well. Cheers...

Lawrence Walker27...you sound like some die-hard fan who’s spent way too many years sitting in the bleachers...that’s why I’m honestly baffled by how biased you're being here...is it even possible that we get absolutely wrecked by everyone except our own guys, including the Navy??? People, please, let's have some actual objectivity for once; if we just look back at that one game from 2003 when we were heading down to San Diego, any debate would be totally pointless...
Don't get me wrong, the Navy is a top-tier group, they've been around forever and they've got a hell of a crew (though I haven't hung out with the current lot), but everything has its limits...comparing how people grab banners in Seattle versus San Francisco is just an insult to common sense....

The navy was absolutely killing it yesterday... honestly, seeing Cleveland find the back of the net felt great because they earned every bit of it... as for WA, what a joke... that message was pure gold!

Jason Brooks5 said:You cleaned up your act pretty fast there, so I’m actually siding with most of the people in this thread.
I can't tell if you just phrased things poorly in your last post or if you were just rushing through it, but man, what you wrote was straight-up nonsense! 😉

Personally, I could never go against my own hometown; honestly, it’s just pointless to talk trash about Seattle, D.C., or Indianapolis while you're actually living in one of them. If someone can't show love for the city where they spent their formative years, made all their lifelong friends, and probably fell in love... well, then that person is just incredibly vain, not to mention a bit of a freak or just plain weird. And let me tell you, the guys from The 12th Man who have moved away to live in other cities still hold massive respect for wherever they call home now, regardless of the fact that they’ve taken a few hits in the stands or had to deal with some heavy fines whenever they head back to catch a Boston Red Sox game. 😉 So, hey, if I'm off base here, feel free to set me straight, fellas.
On the flip side, it’s totally fair—and honestly, a huge part of being a fan—to scream at the top of your lungs against rival clubs. You yell at the Red Sox, I’ll yell at Seattle, the Yankees, or Indy... we're fans, we aren't delicate little flowers. And the fact that a club from a city that isn't even much bigger than your Seattle manages to pull in a massive army of supporters and fans all across the United States is a whole different story, because as crazy as it sounds, the Red Sox were and always will be a massive club! 😉
