RAVING/HAPPY SH!T MEGATHREAD

Right, and someone has every right to mock me for anything I post. That’s fair game.  My gf is a huge part of my life but I can’t imagine people being interested whatsoever in our shenanigans. You take a different approach so in the context of this website you can’t expect to not get that commented on.  You’re on another thread going on about not holding back on using Jesus Christ as a pejorative despite it offending people, so I’m surprised you’d be sensitive about that. I read your post as “Man has normal weekend in Korea” “ Read all about it!”  and thought I’d have some fun with it.  Nothing more than that. Isn’t that what this site is pretty much about?  People commenting and people taking the piss?  People venting? This stopped being a helpful guide to living in Korea a long time ago. Almost every regular on here has Korea down pat.

I will likely not be back on today so if I don’t continue this discussion it’s not personal.  Have to go see a podiatrist about a nagging foot injury.  From walking. I walk a lot.

I know. But I gathered that you might not have gotten the point of the entire post............... .. which is to parody VanIslander's talking down to us in a different thread.

Anyway, hope your foot is okay. But, I also suspect you might be joking cuz of my walking comment. haha

OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHA you devil!~

Very funny CO2. Made me laugh for awhile. Made me choke on me brown crystals in hot water.

Ha, yes, I did catch up on the lunch thread.  Nicely done. 

My bf and I chatted with my parents about marriage last weekend. My mom is sick so after some discussion, we are going ahead with making plans to get married.

I guess I kind of got engaged this weekend.

Congratulations! I hope you have a long and happy marriage.

Thanks so much! We are so happy together, and I don't have any doubts or hesitations about it. Would have chosen to have a little more control over the wedding situation, but I have never cared much about weddings anyway, and the most important thing to us is to make sure my mom can be a part of it while she is doing well. I am excited anyway!

Just found out that the 80k refund I was expecting to get -- which was still good to me as I've owed money for the last two years -- was actually 800k. Numbers got crossed in communication. <3

The best kind of news. I always fear these number mistakes when I owe money.

Fu**in 'ell, well done!

Holy hell, that's a big refund.  Nice.  I'm expecting a little over 200k myself.  That was a surprise.  Got about 40k back last year, but can't remember when I got it.  When you're as wealthy as I am you don't even notice 40,000won, but 800k I would definitely pick up on. 

I had a nice refund this year as well, having figured out how to use dependents to get out of paying taxes. 

I'm realllllly looking forward to next year when tax laws are going to change, allowing foreigners to be considered "heads of households". This means that things like jeonse loans, rent, and mortgages will be tax deductible!

Nice! As far as I know, I've never owed money or received a refund during my time here.

i have a chess.com account, only played like 3 games lol.

havent really taken chess seriously since middle school. could make for a decent deskwarming timewaster but im catching up on reading right now (thanks, genesis library)

Chess is the one with the horsies, right?
I kid, I kid. 
No, but seriously, everybody and their pet supercomputer knows that chess is a solved game, just like tic-tac-toe. Real gamers go for nontrivial games like baduk (but only if played on a board larger than 7 by 7)!
