Yeah was thinking about this earlier. It never went to court but he had that sexual assault allegation earlier on.

Seems like a lot of people worship the guy just because of what he did on the court.

new refrigerator


plus new stuff the mrs wants for her new nest because the old stiff just doesn't "fit" the new nest (interior paint/wallpaper, furniture, lighting, landscaping, patio stuff, etc.).

Enjoy!

Ya, I hear that. mrs humfrz wants to get a new sofa just because she thinks our old one is "dated". I just finished putting a piece of plywood under the cushion on her side, because she said it was sagging. I got my side sagged just where I want it. -

It is up to personal preference but generally get out and about and enjoy the country, have a BBQ with friends, drink some beer, go for a swim then watch the fireworks in the evening.

Not that it will bring him back but as pilots we try to learn from these things because we don't get too many second chances ourselves.

i don't feel either way about it. i'm saddened that people were killed in a wreck, but the significance of any one of them doesn't make it better or worse to me.

i'm not convinced once one buys a house they are never not house poor...

i'm naturally more interested in the other 7 people they're not talking about.

that was about how many i looked at. i happened to look at the best one first by chance, the rest were all that were available in my price range/area. after seeing the lesser conditions of the others, i went back and made an offer on the first one that was the nicest.

So, she picked a house after looking at only 6 houses?

If so, I would have liked to have been her buyers agent -

As a buyers real estate broker, I would have loved to have had your sister-in-law as a client. You and your wife, not so much -
