It was both of our idea. The house is beautiful and the location is perfect. I think the biggest thing it that it is a little more money. And of course the large down payment an closing costs. And so, we will not be able to not even pay attention to spending, like we are used to. We travel and...

Thanks. I think we are both excited and nervous. I know there are so many benefits. I told my wife, it's yours do what you want. I know she has plans for it, lots of them. She wanted a good neighborhood, near shopping and everything else the house has. I wanted some land, but I did not get it...

We are moving to SC, that is where the house is we are buying. It is a bad time to buy. I am working with a broker and we are just holding as long as possible before we lock it. Then we just hope the rates go down enough in a year or so that we refinance. The biggest problem is that the interest...

We are talking, but she's like me. We are in this limbo thing where we are like 'Well, we did it, now what?'. We are not telling anyone about it until we are moving in, not anyone. I think we are both just nervous.

Trust me, I am trying. I mean that house has everything we want. And I am just so nervous, I don't really know why.

I just bought a house and it's not like I thought it would be. Wife and I spent time looking and looking and doing so much research, decided on a location, went there, home shopped hard for more than a week. I mean we were looking at homes every day, and sometimes 2-3 in one day. We found one...

6:30 PM here. 44 F, dark and rainy. The only thing I know about Celsius is that Zero is 32 F and 30 C is hot.

I don't know that we need them. But why not? I for one am ready for our new robot overlords, because the ones we have right, the human ones, are no good.

The hens and roosters are all transitioning and they are tried of these Cis birds refusing to use their proper pronouns.

Inflation. 2 years ago I got a dozen eggs for $1. Now they are avg $6-7. I'm going vegan again. But even that is not cheap now, unless you can grow a lot of your own. And all the farm land is owned by Bill Gates He needs it. It is fun to leave sit and look at, so no one else can have any, I...

I've always said that the only time in history that socialism ever really worked was far before the term even existed. When we were still hunter gatherers, in groups of typically no more than 25 individuals. Almost all of them relatives. They all had common needs and goals. Mostly survival...

Jeans and a t-shirt. I guess it's a dress up day compared to my typical business casual for work from home. Which is jammie bottoms, comfy socks, and a t-shirt.

Yeah of course. I'm just an uneducated hick who knows nothing. Yet somehow I know that Marx was a total loser who came up with an idea that eventually led to the deaths of tens of millions of people in a quest to make something unworkable work. And yet, there are people who still cannot just let...

Not 'real' communism. This time we need to murder a few billion to get it to work, it will work this time for sure, or else!

I've got that one. Obviously, Kulaks, hoarders, and wreckers. Or, that wasn't real socialism, it's never been tried yet! ;)
