Strauss quickly figured out that women desire someone who is kind but also has a backbone and is confident.
No shit!
That's disturbing. You're emotionally scarred and will end up badly.

Nora, how far is your house from Boston?
It's in Salem, which is a 25-30 minute train ride from North Station. The commute is actually not too bad about 95% of the time. If your BF wants to buy our house without realtor interference, we can sell it for under market price and include shit like the washer/dryer, gas grill on the deck, couch, and dining room set! Also, perhaps an awesome and beautiful but enormous dresser in our bedroom.
Probably just for the price of a couple lawyers to make sure everything's legit.
The neighborhood is nice, it's convenient to town and has plenty of public transportation. Salem is really coming into its own, as well.

Our wings are not tired.
That sounds so lovely, but his job is a half hour south of Boston (Brockton), so I think he wants to stay in Boston. But I loved the pictures of your house I saw.

Trust my rage
I have literally accomplished almost nothing today. Which isn't the end of the world, except that I feel like working from home is a privilege that I don't want to abuse. But still, I've gotten nothing done. (I did spend several hours researching something and deciding it was the wrong way to go, but you can't actually show that to anyone.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
The lesson I'm getting from this isn't "Women don't want to date guys who are too nice," but "Women aren't mind readers."
Don't get me started.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
So we're not going back to the Moon, but it was just announced that Obama Aims to Send Astronauts to an Asteroid, Then to Mars
By 2025, the United States is expected to begin testing spacecraft for deep space exploration, vehicles capable of exploring beyond the moon on the first-ever manned trip to an asteroid, Obama said.
"By the mid-2030s I believe we can send humans to orbit Mars and return them safely to Earth," President Obama said.
So we have to wait 20 years just to send humans to orbit Mars? Bah.

I feel like we need some sort of quadruple patient/donor liver transplant situation (like [link] to get Nora & Tom's place, msbelle's place, and Bob's place in Chicago sold (forgive me if there's anyone I've forgotten).

Excellent Point!!

I would totally buy Nora and Tom's place! If I, you know, had any money. It does seem like the people moving around should line up a little better.
