Doo-de-doo, the 1000+ orders I got in this morning are apparently wrong and need to be voided. I don't know why voiding takes so long, been about 45 minutes so far...can't really do anything else until this is done, either.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Mr. S has had his own room(which used to be the library) since we brought him home. His door has something called a door monkey on it, which prevents him from opening it.

I can't remember, where do we talk about Netflix shows like Stranger Things? I have a minor fandom vent.

There are two houses on the same block in Baltimore for sale. Both are 4 BR, one has 2 baths and one has 3 baths - so by my calculations, 4 of us could start a small take-over of that block. I AM JUST SAYING!

I need to figure out what I need to do to be able to get in on something like that. Gonna take ages to actually do, but I should have a plan.
Looks like orders can be voided at a rate of approximately 4 per minute. This is not gonna be done before I go home unless the rate isn't constant.

My co-editor, cohort Kim Cooper, posted something about Bungalow Courts (hence my dalliance with that on FB), but also Fourplexes. And that was interesting looking at a lot of old styley fourplexes and thinking about that living arrangement.

My thought at the B'more layouts I am looking at is me making a finished basement with a full bath into a large master suite, someone else living on the 3rd floor which is typically 3 Bedrooms and a full bath - we share the main floor which is living, dining, kitchen or 2 livings and kitchen.

Yes, private space plus common area sounds optimal.

I've managed to depress myself by pouring over Google satellite images of where I grew up. Still rural, more populated than it used to be, my old elementary school is some sort of car lot, the house I grew up in is replaced by another house, all traces of my house are gone, there are people living across the creek where I used to play, and the ancient trees are gone. So many car repair places along the road into town and houses with dead cars in the yards and so many places full of industrial equipment for the mine and the natural gas extractors. The passage of time sucks.
edit: but the house where my father was born 99 and a half years ago is still there.
