    Watching house shows from different places than here. Property is is so stupidly expensive here it's crazy to think someone could buy a house for $400k

    $400,000. Will buy you a brand new 2700-2900sq ft with 3car garage, storm cellar, all the new fancy appliances here.
    The lot won’t be very big but the neighborhood will have a pool, clubhouse and greenbelts.

    Buy an older house for that and you can get a nice big yard.

    You'd have to move hours away from where I am to find anything that's $400k and then it would be a hovel. My parents sold their house in the country in 2016 for $1.5 for land value only. Property values are nuts here

    I honestly don't know how people just starting out do it. They're supposedly trying to do stuff to make housing more affordable but I don't see it happening any time soon. Well the solution is to build more condos cause they're more affordable I guess.

    Well I figured out why my weight loss stalled. My calorie count was off for my off day training exercise. Now that its fixed I seem to be back on track. And it all had to do with my broken max trainer. This has been on my mind for a while. Maybe now I can move beyond it since I repaired the machine and its kicking my butt again.

    I have to admit she’s got balls, figuratively.
    She posts her bedroom talk for all to read.
    I think the word is ****

    Heading home tomorrow. I don't think I brought a heavy enough coat for re-entry into the Midwest... (it's 66° in Houston and 43 back home) 🥶

    The minor dread that comes before every test night. Lots of jujitsu tonight and forms.

    I decided what I want in my cell phone. I want the outsides of the Nokia G10 and the insides of the Moto G Power 2020 with the price of something in between. :)

    Our stupid furnace needs a new motor or something.
    The technician guy had major ADHD. He walked into the kitchen cause he needed to sit down to write up his notes and I had some cookies out and he was like oh cookies! Too bad they were squirrel shaped 🤣

    I’m at that age now where my skin seems so delicate and thin.
    If I barely bump my hand on something I get a purple/red bruise type thing.
    Like old people! 😭😭😭
    I’m not aging that gracefully, complaining about it too much.
    But,,,,, sometimes it is a downer.

    I've always had very fair skin and bruise easily and I'm clumsy. I'm nursing s really sore purple one on my left arm right now. No clue what I did but it must have been fairly significant to bruise so much.
    Maybe you're just fair skinned? You're not old enough for thinning skin

    My neighbour sent a nice note thanking me for including her in my Hallmark Countdown to Christmas party last night. She included how she feels lucky we moved in next door because we seem like the type of people who have a gift for bringing people together and making them feel welcome.

    Wait til she comes to the housewarming party! The guest list is ever growing. We haven't done a party like since before my dad died in 2016...they're always a good time

    I’m pretty sure I am the oldest person on my list, except one and I have the most juvenile sense of humor of them all.
    I’m starting to think I might be weirder than I thought. 😂

    Yesterday I sent an application to volunteer with the cancer society driving people to appointments. When my dad was having cancer treatments he used this service and I felt like they needed more people to help out. They already got in touch with me for a phone interview Tuesday. I guess they're desperate... I think I'd be good driving people around

    Hey good on you, you'll be taking away one less thing for these people to worry about during what is already the worst time of their lives. You'll also meet some kind and interesting people along the way.

    I see people upset about losing the free barcode scanner.
    I agree, seems like a greedy loss.

    Just pretend you never had it. 😮

    I had to roll the car windows up and down,
    manually lock the car doors,
    find a payphone to make a call when I was out,
    get up and walk to the tv to change the channel or volume,
    for a while I had am, no fm,
    black & white tv,
    no cable tv,
    played outside 90% of the time,
    bought a pack of cigarettes for less than $1. while I was 13,
    wrote letters to my friends that lived in other cities,
    scrolled through a phonebook (white and yellow pages),
    talked to a phone operator,
    did the math myself,
    if I needed to know something I got off my bum and did what I needed to do to find out.

    Is it really that important to have a barcode scanner, really?

    I love meeting new people, I'm not he annoying person at a grocery store chatting to the check out person
    It's been a long time since I had to do an interview or supply references. Hopefully they aren't too picky other than I can drive, my car is comfy and I have time to help

    Did you have to walk 10 miles each way to school in the snow too? 😋

    I'm sure you have more to offer them than just being able to drive, the fact that you like talking to people is a massive plus, just be you - not all of the passengers will want to talk, but I've no doubt you'll be insightful enough to tell who would appreciate a chat and I think you'll be very good at putting them at ease.
