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]

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 .

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!

Askye is 100% reasonable. I can write a letter saying so.

Glad you are safe and sound, Sue.

ION - not one person at work has asked me how my trip went or said one thing to me about 1) closing on a house 2) kicking out my son.

Yeah, I need out of here.

Hope all is put back to normal quickly, Sue.

Good grief, msbelle. That is really odd. Are your parents still out of town? I was wondering if Mac was going to contact them.

My parents are still out of town, I don't think he will contact them because I told him if he did I'd explain the full story to them.

He actually slept at the house last night. He contacted me and I told him he could sleep there last night if he came to dinner and talked with me.

No big revelations, no switch flipped, but I asked him a few things that I could tell made him think. Like I asked him " how long are you willing to go with no job and have your situation be like this, before you consider other options?" And when I asked him how long he thought he would need to work before he could get a place and he said a couple of weeks, I informed him that apartments require like 3 months payment up front (info that has been given to him more than once, but the he obviously never read or listened to) and he looked shocked.
