That does sound like an excellent plan, Sophia. Assuming you want to live that close to your mother!

I'm trying not to look at job postings, because I often end up doing that on weekend nights, and it just stresses me out instead of getting anything done. Tomorrow!

What suitcase should I take to Europe? Should I take the big one, leaving room for potential souvenirs, or should I take the small one and be smug that I can travel to Europe with only a small suitcase?

If we're all here and we're all bored, then we ought to entertain each other.

Tell us a story?

How big is the big one? Can you lift it yourself, etc.? If not, don't bother. Is the small one a carry-on? If not, don't bother.

Bah. If I'd had my phone with me I would have called 911. A couple was fighting outside. What made it especially bad was there was also a screaming baby in a stroller. At one point the guy grabbed the woman and she was screaming to let her go. Then he grabbed the stroller and she was screaming for him to let go of the stroller.

I saw some other people watching - they had already called the cops. Apparently they were punching each other before I got there.

Perhaps you should buy a medium sized suitcase if you can't lift the big one? Otherwise, take the biggest one you can lug yourself, I think!

I don't min living that close to my mother, because unless I abandon her to an ice flow or she dies right now, I am eventually, as an only child, going to have some responsibility toward her as she ages and right now it is stressing me out that she is so alone and I have no car. I need her hearer to me and my friend Maria's family, so we can be all one big family.

I am also a little freaked out because I went to a college friends big picnic today, and her husband's mother, who is exactly the same age as my mom, had a heart attack on the way there!

Yikes, that would freak one out! I would imagine no future housing costs would be appealling...

Very violent, in an homage-to-evil-dead way.

I could pay the mortgage instead of rent. She could pay the down payment with the proceeds from her house sale, and then not pay rent.

Like Jesse said, I think that would be a selling point -- no future housing costs is pretty sweet.

Actually sounds like a good idea, sophia.

I have been watching Lady GaGa videos. It is possible she has talent , but it is hard to see when I can name her influences as I watch a video.
