I had a low score in spatial. That's why I couldn't get past the child gate my parents put in. Actually a good thing though. I'd have drowned.

PS You are fucking old!

PPS Yes, I know posting about my test scores is silly and pointless.

PPPS I just wanted a lot of P.

Just, ya know, transferring 669GB of data from my laptop to my NAS. At 10MB/s because the stupid DSL modem/router is 100mb only, and putting a switch after it gave phone connectivity issues. Yay! Anybody have a cheap source for an Aruba switch? I wanna match my wifi hardware.

I find any form of math revolting.

I am divided on the subject since it depends on several factors.

I love math. It's fun when you really want to understand something anyway. There isn't much joy in doing grunt work for someone else however...

I've hated math since first grade where they tried to teach me addition and subtraction. Learning math was almost as useless as learning cursive. I've never had to use any of that bullshit in real life.

If you can type that message, thank someone who knows math.

A lot of very complicated math just in that one act.

Did you have "nipple confusion" as a baby? -

I'm not trying to say math has no purpose. All I'm trying to say is I have found no use for any of the math I was forced to learn in elementary school, middle school, highschool, or college.

You use it all the time but just don't realize.

Did you read the disclosure document carefully? Any mention of the property being built on an old Paiute burial ground? Yep, the lands just north of the big deer flats (now Lake Lowell).

Some states require that information like that be disclosed. Some don't. As long as YOU and your family don't "see" or "feel" their presence, not to worry. -

It went ok. I thought the homeowner was going to be there. I was kinda disappointed he wasn't since the realtor couldn't answer a lot of my questions. I need to get county records for plans so I can determine if the wall I want to take down in the second garage is not load bearing. It sure looks like someone added it to make the single wide 2 car deep garage into two rooms. I also I want to know where the leach field and septic tank are in case I want to build a shop in the back of the property.


I was kinda shocked how dirty the place is. The garages are just packed with shit, and there were closets I couldn't even open they are so full of shit. I want assurances they will not leave me any of their shit for me to have to dispose of. That happened to me at the house we are at now. Boy, I say shit too much.


I wanted to know where the buried propane tank is, and how big it is.


The appliances in the kitchen all work, but are old. I will want to upgrade the appliances over the next couple years.


Carpets are worn, and the wood floor in the kitchen needs to be refinished. No biggy in the big picture. They are worn, but not disgusting or anything. Just something we would like to replace over the next few years.


The woodwork around the windows and the vaulted ceilings are really cool and pretty.


It is really out in the country, but you are about 4 to 5 miles from major stores and stuff like Costco, home depot, etc.. It is about 25 miles to downtown Boise. 4 miles to either downtown Caldwell or Nampa. It is kinda cool that both Caldwell and Nampa are really working on upgrading the downtown areas. All the towns here want to have to cool downtown with bars, restaurants, shops, etc..


Certainly will not have all the city noise I have here. When we pulled up, a bunch of quail ran across the yard. The neighbors have a rooster that sounds like he doesn't even take a breath between crows all day long. I don't remember hearing him while inside, but walking the yard you hear him. I can never complain about that, since the rooster is there first, and it is the country.


I figure we will be happy there, but like I told my wife, worst case is after living there for a while, we determine we don't like being that for out of town, we clean it up, sell for a profit, and take our time finding another house.

MY dad was a math professor for 38 years. My brother has a masters in Mathematics, and I have a degree in accounting. Math was always easy for me.
