I go online sometimes, but everyone's spelling is really bad. It's... depressing.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Have you sold the TX house yet?

Because books.

Todd, $3,900 for a 1BR? I figured D.C. was expensive, but wow. Good luck on the move!

Congratulations, msbelle! It feels like everything is falling into place!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Great news, msbelle! Soon you'll have New Office Friends.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Yay, msbelle!

Yay, Toddson!

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"

Amy, pretty much all new construction/renovation is for "luxury" housing. And they're going to do a major overhaul of a 1929 building (which was built as luxury housing at the time - great timing, right? - but has not been well maintained). They're going to rip out walls that aren't load-bearing, redo the wiring and plumbing, put in completely new kitchens and bathrooms. It'll be nice, but I can't afford that. Since I'm leaving after many years, I'll be getting a nice buy-out ... much of which, I assume, will go to taxes, but I should be able to get some new furniture out of that.

Yay Toddson—that's great you were able to find another place!

And go msbelle, employment yes!!! And with government? That's some stability. I'm so impressed at you up and moving your life cross country twice while we've known you!
