Belated birthday felicitations to Mal! The pictures were awesome--he's such a charmer, but I can believe he's a forceful personality. Over-his-cold-ma to him.
Mal: He calls back, you keep them occupied. Wash: What do I do, shadow puppets?

Spike's Bitches 35: We Got a History
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Trust my rage
We have owned two homes. It was always stressful selling htem but living in them wasn't that bad. We have always bought new homes which meant that there was basically nothing to do. However, we lost out on the sort of original craftsmanship that might come with an older home. Still, new homes tend to have (in my experience) nice, efficient windows, nice fixtures, and no electrical/plumbing problems.
We now live in a rental that is 15 years old. We are always fixing stuff and it bugs me because it's not even our home.

I have a different perspective on the homeowning thing, since I bought my first house a very long time ago. I hated renting. I hated the lack of control and the fact that you had to ask someone else to fix things, and then ask them again and again and again.
It is true that a house is often a hole in the ground into which you throw money, but the reason I can have a house that is inside the perimeter as opposed to way out in soccermom-land is because I started by buying a house years ago in the approach path to Hartsfield. (Really, planes aren't that bad when you're inside.)
The equity in my house funded my transition to working for myself. I've been able to indulge my fondness for playing in the dirt and buying weird plants. Jump in, people! The water's fine except for the occasional shark.

Hi vw!!!
My homeownership is giving me complete heartburn these days, but I can't afford to rent a 4 bedroom in my area either, so someone pass the lube.
I'm at work, still feeling like utter carp. I so totally wish I were home, in bed, asleep.

I'm around, but inestimably groggy due to staying up far too late reading Complete And Utter Crackfic.
OK, but clearly I'm not too sleepy to use a word like "inestimably." The mind is willing, but the body betrays, and has had no caffeine.

Ginger! Actually -- I have a question for you. I have a boondoggle scheduled for Savannah on May 6-8 -- would that be a 4 hour drive (if you know?). Would I be looking at a D.C. to Richmond type drive where 95 is such a nightmare it could be twice what it should?
