hey, renting isn't throwing money away....most of the time. You're paying for them to do the maintenance, freedom to move again easily, no yard/snow work. With a house you have interest, maintenance, possibly PMI, property taxes, and it's harder to relocate. I say this as we are moving to a house obviously, but I don't consider our rent money a waste. Maybe if we had moved to the place that's $300 more for rent and they have a community breakfast place. That may have been excessive.

Yeah. I don't mind renting. I know I just called it throwing money away but I don't believe that wholly.People have told me that before though. It'd be nice to have a house but it seems a little early to get one.

Thought it said, "Bikini Update." Dang.

That would be disappointing.

The best you get from biking here is a cleavage update but you have to be on a two-way path and maybe be a little warmer out.

You don't want to know about all of the amenities I had at my place in Indiana then....

Gross on the treadmill puke. Sounds like he was doing HIIT (high intensity interval training). When I do it I stay on the treadmill, although my fast time is not all that fast.

Prepare for lots o randomness. We went to bed before 10am because 5:15 is early for me. Gotta love the things we do for our kids. Up at 5:15, packed food for hubby and oldest, sent them off at 6:15 to be in WDSM by 7:15 for 8am game, first of 4 today.

We never went and visited any grav sites or anything for Memorial Day. My only deceased relative that served was my uncle who was at Pearl Harbor. He is buried in Oklahoma or California. I have other family who served in the military, but all are still living. I had a friend post on FB, "Don't thank me for my service, take time to remember the fallen" Of course that was after I thanked him for his service.

I am not shy if I know people; don't necessarily like meeting new people. My kids know there is a good chance mom will stop and talk to people when we are out and about.

I like David Alexander and Alexander Joseph. We had Alexander John on the short list of boy names that we never needed. We would've done AJ as a knickname.

I've thought about getting a pair of Sperrys but I won't get into my feet issues. They may not work. I tend not to spend a lot on one pair of shoes (Sperrys aren't crazy expensive) but when you have to buy shoes for 6 people, you tend to not go crazy. My 12yr old actually has bigger feet than me.

Burke is still around, but I want to say it was sold to someone else not too long ago. Vikes, do you have all your upper level management in place? Hubby looked into that plant a while ago but they wanted the supervisor to train in NC. He may be looking for something later.

Having friends over for lunch today. We met them in college and they have lived in WI since after school. Now they are moving to Ames and are checking out the house next door (owners built a new one and will be selling). Would be nice to hand - pick my neighbors. There is another house for sale just down the block if any of you want to move too.

I'm fairly certain he just doesn't know how to run and can't pace himself. I'm not willing to give him as much credit as you do.

At lunch there was a small slice of pizza so I put it on Z's plate. She chose to pick it up and eat it over already cut pizza!

Next thing you know she's going to be pouncing on and stabbing deer in the throat. They grow up so fast.

GTO, she's a lot cuter than that.

Though, she is also pretty strong.

I'm sure she is. Pants' description just reminded me of that baby from The Croods, for some reason.

Does this mean you have a house or what?

He'll get back to you. He's out mowing for the third time this week.

This is true

I guess I'm out of the loop. I don't read through 10 pages when I get behind In the thread. Cycarob, I say it seems a little early because a house is so much more permanent than renting. I don't know where I'll be. Gotta make sure I like the job first.

SaraV · May 23, 2015

Just checking in to say I'm not dead yet. 'Rents and niece are visiting, hence the quietness.

Personally I'd rent a house with your age. Best of both worlds. It's what I do right now and I don't Think I could go back to apartment living.
