Would it be weird if I put inquiry letter at the two next door houses to the one I think I'm seriously consider (and probably the house I saw a momish person and toddler go into) saying something like "I'm interested in this house. If so inclined, could you call me and tell me a little about your impressions of the street and living and working on these kind of houses? Thanks for your time!" with my name & number & email???
You never know if a girl's gonna say 'yes', or if she's gonna laugh in your face and pull out your still-beating heart and crush it into the ground with her heel.

I don't think it would be weird, sarameg, but in all honesty I'm not sure I'd call if I got that kind of note. I'm busy and sometimes thoughtless that way. I just wouldn't want you to get a bad impression of the neighbors if they didn't reply.

I don't think it would be weird, sarameg. I think a mom-type might be more inclined to reply--they're typically more concerned with who moves into the neighborhood and might like to find out, in my own experience.
We lived in the house in Columbus for seven years before we had kids and I didn't give my neighbors half as much attention as I after I had kids.

That's a good one, too, java. I really should learn photoshop.

Sorry I posted and then ran off. It's just so tragic for their community. I didn't know the shooter or any of the victims, but my parents did. My mom said that poor guy who lost his family had been out to their house a number of times to help my parents with my baby brother in the months leading up to his passing. She thought he might be a distant cousin, but she wasn't sure. That's pretty distant.

And I apologize for not answering y'all individually.

Sing it. I didn't get my degree until I was 43 (18 years of school!) It's never too late.
Sail is me once again. 16 years to get the BS and totally expect to continue once the parental duties are finished. No set time line here. That is part of the paradox of parenting students that are college bound. If you don't really want this it ain't gonna happen. Both of them assume college degrees because their parents have them, but they sure don't act like it.
The Sesame Street L&O is likely the only one that I would enjoy.
