meara, that's an awesome price for a townhouse!
I am in work Hades. I need minions.
My cats are pretty good watchdogs. Their reactions tell me exactly what manner of creature is outside. They have 3 categories: feral cat, another animal/human passing by, or human approaching the house. If someone actually broke in, they'd probably hide, which is fine with me; they'd be safe. And at night, the alarm would be on. I don't know if any of them would attack someone to protect me; I rather doubt it, but I don't hold it against them. I'm supposed to take care of them, after all.
Woo meara's kindle!
Dang, $72k and near a friend, that's pretty good.
Wow, Jesse, that's unreal.
Real estate is crazy. That's mind-blowing, Jesse.
Also, a dreaming wombat (something from Australia that (probably) won't try to kill you.
Not necessarily! Wombats have been known to kill people who enter their burrows. (Their defence against home invasion is to crush the invader against the roof of their burrow, push-up style. Useful against dingoes.) More commonly, they're one of the worst native animals to hit while driving.
Note - avoid wombats at all costs.
In CJ news, he can now add paid model to his resume. He just did a photo shoot with two of his EMS classmates. The pictures will be used for textbooks, slides, workbooks and other EMS related things.
Once upon a time I was in a math textbook, playing with the unit blocks. As I recall, the picture was 70's-tastic.
Respect the wombat's boundaries.
Wasn't there just an article about how it makes financial sense to buy a house in Cleveland or somewhere and spend literally every weekend in Brooklyn, vs. living in NYC?
There was an article recently about how it's cheaper to live in Spain and commute than live in London. [link]
One of our dogs is a very good (loud) watchdog. He is on the alert for dangerous intruders. Of course, in his mind, "dangerous intruders" includes deliverymen, raccoons, anyone walking their dog on the sidewalk out front and the occasional large windblown leaf.
The other dog is his hype man. Chet will run to the window and bark like mad, while Truman will stay where he's sleeping, but lift his head up and throw a couple of support barks in there, before going back to sleep.
