Do we still have the utility that will download threads as files? I'd like to do some text searching offline.
I wanna die in bed surrounded by fat grandchildren, but guess that's off the menu.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Uh, I don't think we have "in the back" on my block -- it's a small block (thanks to alleys!) and I think the buildings just butt up against each other. Other blocks my vary.
Edit: Oh wait, I really have no idea because I'm in the front apartment on the top floor. I'm sure some have gardens in the back. Or "gardens."
Edit again: Here are a couple of real estate listings with back patios. [link] [link]
Ooh, you'll like the pictures here: [link]

I had a funnel cake today. First time in years and it was delicious - grease/sugar crack.

oh, god, I want funnel cake . . . The Utah State Fair is going right now, but I can't get up there. Piffle.
edit: what an odd typo, Farm for Fair. I wonder if we do have a State Farm.

OH! Anyone want to buy a house 2 doors down? Found out it was listed Friday, after almost 2 years . At a ridiculous $44K: [link] but given there were at least 4 showings today, I suspect there will be a bit of a bidding war. It's a foreclosure that has HUD notices posted on the door. Not sure what kind of shape it is in, being shut up for 2 years. I think the kitchen is fancier than mine, but it does need some tlc (and the carpets ripped up!)
We (went to dinner with the neighbors) all freaked out about the asking price, but my guess it is basically a firesale by the city/state/feds. We joked about pooling together and buying it ourselves. Like any of us need another project house.
I found all of this out because I ran into a realtor showing it. I TOTALLY talked up the hood: the blizzard cleanup, keeping those properties cleaned up while vacant, how we market together, the power outage and how we all hung out, trade advice on the upkeep, etc etc. Apparently, several other neighbors did the same with the other showings. We're funny like that.
Add to that the other vacant was bought by these folk [link] and it looks like we won't have empties much longer.

YES WE ARE!
One of my coworkers just got back from Kauai, and gave me a menu for another place he really liked.

OMG, I have to NEVER EVER BUY the TJ's chocolate-covered almonds with sea salt. A friend brought some over last night, and D & I splurged and ordered a PPV movie (watched Thor, prepping for Avengers -- fun!) and we ate the rest of the 3/4 full container.
I could eat another container now, I swear.
Needless to say, I did NOT go for the brownie.
