That must feel amazing, Zen. I have about 2 1/2 years to go. I'd look up the exact date, but I somehow got locked out of my online account and I have to make a phone call. I hate phone calls. Do you get an actual deed these days?

The funny smell in the bathroom has resolved itself into "there's something dead near the bathroom." I haven't found it yet. My maggot phobia does not give me much enthusiasm for the task.

Congrats on your new kitten, Burrell. I suggest you name it Inconvenient Delight.

I may have to use this on the next feline that arrives on my doorstep. Delightful to think of excited Franny.

WOO HOO Home homership!! Go Zen! So exciting.

Do you get an actual deed these days?

I was told it would come in the mail, so I guess so. I'm getting a safe deposit box for it, otherwise I know I'll misplace it.

Can Mr. Peabody be of help locating the source of the smell, or is that a bad idea?

Congrats, Zen!

Cereal: shrift, I don't think I've offered my condolences yet. So sorry. And I'm hoping that you get to go see your friends, too.

Mr Peabody is no help. He's only interested in things that are alive.

Congrats Zenkitty!

Congrats, Zen!

Comparing 2013 to 2014 is confusing me a bit wrt to the itemized deductions, but all the right numbers went into the same places on the 1040, so I think I'm ok. 2013 was complicated by the refi.

Burrell, kitten! Very striking one at that. If it is owned, just a wanderer, maybe Fanny can get visiting privs. Or rather, the cat can.

Oh congrats, Zen! That's amazing.

That is indeed a wonderful thing to accomplish, Zen! Congratulations!
