or this one in KS City which is adorable. [link]

ND that house is AMAZING.

This place is listed for less than what we paid for our place here in LA.

I can't even imagine what a place like that would cost in S Florida.

{{Sheryl}} I do hope it gets easier soon.

I had this thought that I would go for a walk with the dog this morning since I started the dog training yesterday. Then I see it is only 40F out and I don't have gloves or a hat. I'll fetch some from my sister later. And do my walk mid-day when it is warm!

It's 8:30 am and I've already had the "no mom you are not driving today " argument twice.

Mom wants to drive and she is afraid the hospital will have her car towed. Even though they said it was fine being there. I'm going home today to get some things and Matthew is coming up so we will get her car then.

The discharge papers said she can resume normal activities. But when I went back to clarify they said she needs to at the very least wait until I can ride with her and see how she does. I've told her I would feel more comfortable to wait until at least the physical therapist comes the first time.

Mom's argument is she drove herself to the ER and she did "fine" (she didn't get into a wreck I don't know how well she drove) so she is ok to drive. No one thinks what she did was a good idea.

I now feel like I am being an unreasonable bitch .

Sometimes being an unreasonable bitch is actually the most reasonable course of action!

I've arrived 17 minutes early for my work orientation, so I'm pausing to catch my breath. 28 minute walk at a comfortable place, past a bunch of shops and restaurants and stuff.

You are not being unreasonable! You are being 100% reasonable.

For real estate comparisons, here's a similar price near me: [link]

You're not being unreasonable at all. It would be irresponsible and potentially dangerous for her to drive until a doctor or physical therapist can give her the all-clear.

I'm not moving, but "Lauraville" does have a certain appeal.

There's something weird about sharing your name with a nearby town. I live within driving distance of a Frederick, a Fredericksburg, and not one but two Frederick Counties.

Hey all. Had a hurricane, lost power for just about 30 hours. Otherwise no more damage for me beside I few crushed flowers.

Other parts of the city are still without power because some very large trees fell on power lines. This is the first direct hit we've had by a hurricane in 15 years, and I hope that interval between stays that long. This one was much less fierce and destructive thankfully.

I'd not be a good survivalist. Even though i had lots to amuse me that didn't require power, I was super restless waiting for everything to be restored.

I'm glad you are fine!
