sarameg, I felt overwhelmed and then I got a buyer-broker, who got a fixed fee (as opposed to working on a commission) and could act as coach and midwife through the whole process. Of course, I did end up buying the first place I visited, but at least I had an independent experienced opinion about that.
Tact is just not saying true stuff. I'll pass.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

A lot of the rowhouses are small. Some, really small. Really, I'm looking at maybe 3/4 more than what I have plus unscary basement (my aversion to them means I'll store stuff/people there, but NSM living space for me.)

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I got the notice today that the university approved funding for me to go present a paper at a conference in Kentucky, and I just booked the flight. Will book hotel tomorrow. Eek. (And actually, I'm not sure I've got funding for everything -- I can get up to $500, but flight is $250 and hotel will be about $150, which leaves $100 for meals, which will be cutting it close, but at least I won't be paying much out of pocket.

I need a martini.
Emmett made her a martini. With three olives.
In olden times, people had kids to help them on the farm.
Now, they get a built-in wee Nick Charles. (Not that Emmett is wee anymore.)

Now tagless for your comfort.

Awesome. He needs to teach my kids to make an Old Fashioned.
My kids are asleep, laundry's done and I need to pack!

Wait until he's fifteen and gets his learner's permit. Then he can double as a designated driver, too. (Or maybe that was just in my family?)

Ah, I see we grew up in the same family.
Good times.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My last IV might have fucked up my foot. It hurts *so* badly around the puncture site, especially heartwards. I can't put full weight on it. I guess it's a deep bruise or something.

Damnit ita. It's sad when I'm wishing you the jugular I got to see. (At least the doer that time was...scenic? Mighty buff and tall man he was.)
