Wait, so pants has been sending dicpics to chaser?
If Chaser could catfish Pants...I may forgive him for all of the BBQ crap.
It is such a relief when that closing actually takes place. I would imagine you're anxious to get moved.
I suppose it isn't really a Christmas song. Still, it's pretty darn catchy.
Blue Christmas, Wonderful World of Christmas and Santa Claus is Back in Town get me singing really loud (on key, of course).

so speaking of mortgages, we rounded up on our monthly payment to the next hundred figuring we likely wouldn't notice the difference. And if we ever do, we can lower it back to the regular amount. After four months, it's already saved us more in interest than we've spent. Now, inflation will catch up on it, but I was like cool. And if we continue to do that plus a once a year principal payment, we knock just over five years off the loan.
good luck packing and moving, wxman. Is all the family helping out on Friday to burn off all the pie?
I have a coworker here closing in Dec and then moving.......she's a bit nervous about that with weather around here!

We were tripling the principal payment each month until insurance & property taxes (paid out of our escrow) went up so high that we couldn't afford that any more. Now we're paying 2x principal every month (along with the escrow & interest portions) and we're on track to have a 30 year paid of in a little under 15. It will be SUCH a relief! Good on you for knocking it back.
Glad to hear the he's feeling better. There's worse places to visit than La Crosse. A girl I used to date in high school lives there. Be sure to tell her I said Hi if you happen to see her.

I think we figured out that for us at the rate we got, we should put more into retirement than into the speeding up the mortgage, but we still wanted to knock a few years off.
Even though I, ancient mariner of RT, knew what this was you were not alone per this blog from Kate Levkoff. :smile:
And WDSM's window to see if he could get nickels to naively agree to netflix and chill has now closed.
Yep. I didn't know that's what Netflix and chill meant. I better not ever hear this from any of my kids, ever.
After this roller coaster year we are more than ready to be settled in our own permanent house. I was told last night that we are not moving again for a couple years.
We have some friends and my dad helping us. My mom is watching LittleWx and the dog and to my knowledge none of her family or my sister is helping which is probably a good thing.
Nah, you'll be fine. Your kids are younger, right? By the time they get to that age they'll use it ironically to mean actually watch netflix and chill.
