Hil's place is great! The street is quiet and there's lots of trees and she has a front porch AND a back porch (with, inexplicably, 2 doors to it)! And a fireplace! So much room and so cute! And I envy the garage big time.
Whoa. Good myth.

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

The previous owners had a hot tub on the back deck. I'm not sure that I want to do that, but at least I know that it's possible to do if I want to.

Yeah, there's plenty of room out there, which is nice.

I'm definitely going to get a table and chairs for the back deck, and maybe a grill. I'm not sure that I'd use a grill often enough to justify that, though. But I like eating outside when it's nice out.
The rain on my skylights sounds kind of cool.

I also really need to get a new couch -- I've had my current one since 2003, and it's really reaching the end of its useful (or comfortable) life, but I think I need to give my credit card a bit of a chance to recover from all the moving expenses, so maybe next year.

Oh, Hil, I know you're vegan (I'm pescatarian) and I want to say I think you'd get a TON of use out of a grill. Other than lifting the top, which might be difficult with physical limitations, the grilling is quick and delicious for veggies, and there's no clean-up really. I live for grilling season when I grill eggplant, squashes, portobello mushrooms etc. all summer long.
I haven't checked in here in a while, but I am thrilled that you love your new place!

erika, your attitude sounds healthier. It's so tempting to try to make a relationship fit a narrative (especially the "healing estranged family members" arc) but that's really not how humans generally work. All you can do is recognize people for who they are. That's... all very inspirational poster talk. I guess I mean "me too, only not quite because my family issues are different, but I hear you and wish to empathize." So there.
Totally unrelatedly, if I really dislike jump scares is it worth it for me ever to see Cabin in the Woods?

I don't remember if there were a lot of jump scares in Cabin. More twists, I think? Haven't watched it in a long time, though.

It's not super jump scary. It's more meta-narrative tropes.

Mmmm, grilled mushrooms.
