I broke ours twice, so any advice I gave would be not worth the pixels it's rendered in.

Yeah, the only answer I've found is not to do too many pages at a time, and after every few times, run it in reverse for a few seconds.

I wish I could just come to all of you that need help. I'm pretty good at that. Sadly, incompatible with my current job where they want me to show up to work.

ION, I was doing another trawl for condos or apartments to move into when I finally move and I found myself looking at the 55+ apartment complex. And being intrigued. I'll be 55 when I decide to move, and I dislike kids as a demographic. And the picture of the onsite gym was full of short, overweight women just like me, not young hotties.

But still. An "active living" place. For the old folks.

But the apartments are big for the price. And I could have a cat.

Gah.

Connie, I think those places are great ideas.

Getting confronted with where I am in the expected life span always throws me for a loop. It's an active fight to tell my sub-brain to not coast to the finish line, I probably have lots of time left.

Grown up dorms. I want to move into one as soon as I can.

Here those places give you WAY more for the money. They have communities right on the ocean with great gyms and club houses for a small fraction of what you would pay without the 55+ restriction. I am often tempted, but DH is still taken back by the concept.

Considering there'd be less wear and tear from kids, the lower cost makes sense.

I was looking at a new place that just went up for 55+, and for a smaller place they wanted three times the month rate! But they have a dining room and an ice cream parlor and stuff like that, so the money for that has to come from somewhere. The floor plans looked like those skimpy designs you see for cheap cruise ship cabins.

The best part of all the ghost stories, IMHO, was Zenkitty's friend pouring the ghost a cup of coffee and then returning to her book.

She is the most unflappable person I've ever met.

People these days know nothing about witches!

True, I imagine. That's a great story, Rick.

I'm loving the ghost stories.

I got a 30% discount for having more than 30lbs of stuff! I actually saved money by

hoarding all that shit for years and years!

This is why we hoard! For the savings!

And after that is the scary closet.

ooo, does it have a ghost in it?

If the price is right, those are great.
