I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I wish getting the helpful meds wasn’t so hard. In so many ways.

Our wings are not tired.

Congrats to the Massachusetts peeps who get to keep Sen Mackey. Personally, I cannot fathom still wanting to work at 80; hell, I didn't want to keep working at 70.

I don’t want to keep working at 57. Good thing I was never called to public service, I suppose.

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

Here's hoping you can get the meds situation sorted and feel some relief soon, ND. I know for me it takes 5 or 6 weeks to fully feel the effects even when they get the dose/combo right.

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

Sat down with Emmett & Kalena and crunched the numbers and we're going to make a bid on the property. Looking at the Disclosure documents now (305 pages).

We've already cyberstalked the tenants (Finance Bro, Wedding Photographer, Non-Binary Marketing Coordinator).

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

You could set a reality TV show in this building!

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Disclosure documents now (305 pages).

Wow, that seems daunting. How does it compare to the disclosure docs for your current place?

The house inspection on our current place was 80 pages by itself. It was thorough! The inspection on this place is about 25 pages. Most of it is standard boilerplate language.

There's always a freakout when you read the inspection report. But older buildings have issues that need to be addressed. This building is 100 years old so it's fundamentally sound.

Reading all the reports is so very stressful, as is the whole process. This does seem like a wonderful opportunity. The location is beautiful and the place looks great.
