There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

The only time I have every been in court was as a juror. I found it immensely frustrating. The lawyers didn't ask the questions I wanted answers to, and they spent most of the time on stuff that had no relevance to the questions that the jury instructions told us to decide.

Congratulations, Matt! welcome to the stress-and-money pit that is homeownership. However your house looks like it's in good shape, so that's nice.

It was just fully renovated with a new roof, new floors, new kitchen, new bathroom tile, and new HVAC. I don't think I could have done any better without having a new house built to my specs. My realtor assured me it should be quite a few years before I have to replace anything major.

Sheryl, I’m so sorry for your loss.

Congratulations, Matt!

I’m at my library bookstore job, which seems to be shaking me out of my holiday funk a bit. I have found way way way too many books for ltc.

That's great, Matt!

Meant to say, I love the floors, Matt.

They're vinyl planking rather than hardwood, but they look and feel really nice. Mom getting her floors done that way really turned me around on my snobbery about hardwood or nothing. Plus, the color matches the heavier shedder of my two cats, which is always a bonus!

Ha! Yes, to the bonus. And, yeah, my sister had hers done with some material like that, and they are gorgeous and resilient.
