Early ,'Objects In Space'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I just have forever wanted to live on one of those and have a giant satellite dish and NOT DEAL WITH ANYONE!
Except all the tourists, and the local planning commission, and maintain the boat, and keep the generator running, and remember to have your clothes on when the local CG team comes to make sure the light is still working properly...
ok, not a lighthouse, but a drilling platform.
She should be, dammit, and so should Tom.
(Everyone knows I'm just kidding, and all of your donations go straight to the hosting fees, right? Phew.)
Which reminds me, yesterday was payday, I need to get my donation in.
I admit the lighthouses are prettier, but they're a MAJOR PAIN to maintain, since even if you get them for, say, $10K, you still have to bring them up to code, and the standards are pretty strict. A number of people have won those auctions and then backed out when they realized how much they would have to spend on them. And it's not as though they're easy to get to--the ones being auctioned off are usually out in the water, so you need a boat to get access.
inaccessible works nicely with my hermit plan with GIANT SATELLITE DISH. but no tourists and no responsibilities. just drilling platform, boat, lots of topsoit to make container gardens and a PO box at the nearest mainland town. HEAVEN!!!
You have to rebuild the ladder first!
did I mention that in my dreamland I am rich?
Compounds are for wacky religious cults, msbelle.
Look, I'm trying to get my cult going, but Responsible People (mostly Pete) keep saying no. But if/when I manage it, I'm making Buffista Island (or Compound) a reality.
