Including taxes and insurance, our payment is almost exactly $2000. We built our house 15 years ago.

This is strict payment. Taxes on their house would be about 750/month and throw in 50/month for their insurance (I honestly don't know what my house insurance costs because it is in with the business, vehicles and everything.). So that would place them at 2800/month.

Maybe the part that makes me cringe the most is knowing that once some of these are houses are a year old, if they needed to sell, they would take a 150-200k haircut on the house. This due to being in a smaller town and rural setting.

I guess the rural part is what is making me seem old. Maybe 2k for P&I isn't that much.

Don't say you are from georgia then. I bought and drank this once in college. It's not good. Then it claimed to be just Georgia Moonshine.

I got a jar of this in a basket at a raffle. Like drinking paint thinner.

On vacation, a family from Canada was sitting by me at dinner. Their daughter was going to college in Windsor. I said that I heard Windsor was a pretty fun place. She replied that most Canadians consider it to be the armpit of Canada.

I mean it's just a slightly less ****** Detroit. Armpit of Canada is probably right. It was just the first place that came to mind

Left-handed, with a right-handed iron, on his knees, under a bush, from out of dirt and leaves. And he ends up with about a two foot putt to save par. I mean, who does that ****????

I think people who don't golf wouldn't necessarily realize how that is basically impossible for a normal person. If I had that shot (and didn't just foot wedge it out) and actually made contact and got it anywhere on the green that's a win, I'm just picking up and moving on.

Think that's about what our PITI would be as well. Not 100% because we do the property taxes all at once and then we pay extra on the mortgage every month. With inflation and home prices going up in general, the dollar amount would be less important to me than the % of income it represents.

again, not knowing what % that is of their total income or how much down payment they did, it may be fine for the kind of house it is. But that does seem like a lot for a rural area. When we were renting up here, it was just over $1000/mth for a medicocre 2brdm apartment. Meanwhile, in my hometown you could rent a house for $300/month. We joked about buying back home and just flying back and forth to work, lol.
 
Two stories

Last night about 9:30 wheeny butt starts to cry and we turn on the monitor and he's up on hands and knees. DH waits a second to see if he'll settle and he eventually lays down. We're like score! Then DH is like, wait, look. The nut was laying flat reaching his hand through the slats to play with the yoga ball between the end of his crib and the wall :D However, after about a minute of this, he fell asleep. So, still score. It was so funny though, watching him flick his little hand back and forth.


second story. So the past couple weeks I've twice come in to find that I got a meeting invite for an 8am meeting at like 7:45am. Now, because I'm perpetually 10 minutes late now, I'm rarely in at 8 anymore. Which is typically fine because if I know I don't have anything on my calendar right away, I know it's ok. But I brought this up in a meeting because it's happened twice now (same people) and it was affecting a coworker who also tends to get in a bit past 8. So the organizer was like yeah, I know that's a bit early and it can be a struggle for you guys to be in by 8. Coworker and I were both like slow your roll here. When we get the invite after we are already in our cars driving, yeah, it's going to be a struggle to go back in time and gain 15 minutes. :rolleyes:

I mean, I was up at 5am today and I was STILL LATE HOW????????? Nut woke up and I was planning to workout anyway so I got started on my workout early, got done faster than I thought.......it was still 8:15 when I rolled in. I guess part of that was I had to do daycare dropoff so that added 15-20. So I guess by that metric I was like 5 minutes early. I guess having him in the bathroom with me when I'm getting dressed takes up more time redirecting him than I notice. This does mean he slept solid from 7:30 to 5am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@cowgirl836, I can't wait for kickball stories.

ha, might be a while. More likely to get "tried a new thing with the baby, it was a fail" story. Like trying to get him to enjoy the outdoors last Friday. Sat on the patio letting him crawl. Wanted him to touch the grass, he refused. Crawled to the flowerbed and tried to eat a handful of mulch.

I am tired of people scheduling meetings with short notice. I've come into the office to see someone sent a meeting invite at 5am for a 7:30 meeting.
I can understand the occasional emergency but I'm sorry, I'm not checking my calendar at 6am daily to see if someone scheduled something the night before.

Fyi: It sounds like Liam Neeson is in the office, Gotta check

From the DOT (no surprise here): "You have passed the first screening, which means you meet the minimum qualifications of the job classification. A copy of your application will be sent to the agency making the hire. "

Inspiring words.

There's not a "no" among them -- just your words.:) Think positively! At least it's not snowing.

Contrarian here...if he's such a great golfer, why did his ball land under the bush in a pile of dirt & leaves? :D
