We were kind of stuck buying the only house available to us. I think if I had been able to afford it, I would have wanted a house where someone else had at least started the renovations because we really don't have the money to fix it up. By which I mean basics, like adding insulation, fixing termite damage, etc. But eh, it feels churlish to complain. We have a house after all, and it costs us less than renting something comparable.
Bunch of wanna blessed-bes. Nowadays every girl with a henna tattoo and a spice rack thinks she's a sister to the dark ones.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Unless you are willing to do a lot of the work yourself, I'd say go for a house you can live with in a neighborhood you like.
Living with construction and fix ups is miserable.

Yes, this is the plan. The plan is also to only have to do this once, so we're being a little picky.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
If one was temporarily very broke, and one's part time lovah offered to help if needed, would it be weird to ask said lovah to pay for one's birth control? Feel free to sing along if you know the chorus!!! [link]

I think if he has offered, that would not be weird. I mean, less weird than saying "could you pay the water bill" or something--it's something he's directly involved in.

It's going to be $62.50 this month, even though it's a generic - I have a prescription deductible with this new insurance.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Precisely. If you're sleeping with him, he's got skin in the game. Or condoms. Whatever. It's something mutual and I think he'd rather help pay for birth control than any of the options be they celibacy or other.

Oh, pretty sure he'll do it with no hesitation. It's just going to be an awkward phone call or email. Time to put on the big girl panties...
