And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?  

[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.

Mostly lurking...

While my bro isn't local, his company is based in CA [link] and 90% of his loans are to CA residents. He knows the area and the market really well. He's just a good contact to have...to talk things through. And it's almost like you know him!

d, bone infections are really hard to get rid of, so even if it's just that, he'd likely be on antibiotics for a month or more.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

As a rule of thumb, if you can get your housing budget to ~25% of your gross income, you'll be doing well.

Yeah, no shit.

It's nice to see some brave pretenders trying to make it interesting.

meara: Yes, I've already discovered that. Which is why I expect he'll probably still be in the hospital by the time I get a chance to get there. I mostly wish they'd just finalize a diagnosis, even though I expect the treatment protocol would be the same or at least not much different.

Stephanie... hmm, maybe! I very much enjoyed my first visit.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I would be putting much less into savings.

Building equity is pretty much equivalent to savings. Less liquid, but you don't want all your assets to be liquid.

25% on housing is probably not the norm in these parts, either, truth be told, but I am willing to live in not-so-nice places far away from everything in order to have more money to spend on food and so forth. I didn't realize Utah was so expensive. I did know SoCal is expensive, but I've only ever lived there when I was unemployed, so I have no internalized correlation between living expenses and income.
