Crap. Got an email that our credit union is merging with the bank owned by DH's company. Somehow, I doubt this merger is going to benefit the membership.
Yes, it's terribly simple. The good guys are always stalwart and true, the bad guys are easily distinguished by their pointy horns or black hats, and, uh, we always defeat them and save the day. No one ever dies, and everybody lives happily ever after.

Sparky - This issue of Vegetarian Times had some interesting Thanksgiving recipes and there were some vegan recipes in there.

Wow, j, I read you with my obssession goggles...cause I read "Marinara" as "marijuana". It was a John Munch moment. I thought "Wow, SF really is different" I am a dumbass.

So what kind of sauce do YOU put on your marijuana?

Because books.
Marijuana sauce could make today better.

I have never used it with sour cream...suspect it of being white- girl like a grilled-cheese sandwich.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
I'm skimming past the banana bread talk as I try to ignore the carrot cake calling my name from kitchen.
FWIW, if you're paying off a mortgage, it's really building equity, so in a sense a lot of that 50% is going into your net worth.
AND, don't you get a tax deduction on the payments? So the net cost to you is actually less than the check you write?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
YAY! Jesse also making me feel better.
I am starting to slide down mood hill into grumpy valley.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Mmm. Carrot cake.
I'm trying to ignore the upsetting rent/mortgage discussion, as I pay more than 50% of my salary on rent, and that's with taking a raise upon moving. And I'm trying to get into buying land and building and creating equity, but I just heard from my realtor today that in order to put in a septic system on perked land, I need to buy at least an acre. Which is what I wanted all that time ago, but gave up on as too expensive. I cannot understand for the life of me why property values in this area are so completely out of whack. They're priced like lots in freaking Hawaii for heaven's sake.
I love where I live. It's very pretty. But I'll be damned if I'm going to spend a half a million dollars on a small in-city lot and *not be in Hawaii*.
