Home ownership is ^ (the vast majority of the time).

I'm surprised no one's made the comment about not hotel-hopping in the interim period.

Morning, Box. Multiquote catchup ahead.

Working in a bakery is going to be the death of me. Rosemary and olive oil Triscuits are running today. Smells so good.

1 or 2 GB.

When my FIL made payment arrangments with the DJ, the deal was half up-front, half at the end of the night. The second half would be withheld if the DJ did not grant him executive authority over the volume slider on his mixing board.

I love when that happens around here, what with our obscene 10.25% sales tax (which hits 11.25% in some towns that add a dining tax).

What ethnic group? Mushrooms? :D

We did it for our wedding. Wasn't so bad, since we were only sitting there basically while we were eating. Rest of the time was socializing, etc. I think the wedding party appreciated it, since most of them had SOs with them. That way they could sit together, and we got around to everyone.

If you go into it with that approach you're going to lose.

It isn't all about the bride. It is about the wedding. It is for both of you. Anyone who doesn't get that doesn't understand the concept of marriage correctly.

there is only room for so many crazy people in the world. You have to be able to come home from work and kick back somewhere with a little routine as bad as it may be.

Not generally viable in NYC, especially when it is really "home" for the interim period.

I love owning a home but there are indeed some things one doesn't have to deal with when a tenant instead.

I know he was just avoiding the Knight's Inn ;)

I thought people were trying to get AWAY from NJ, not move to it.:confused:

God help me if I ever go through another elaborate traditional wedding ceremony again. Destination wedding or bust, I say.

Just looked at my portfolio and realized my allocation is odd for my age (but fine for my "number of years from retirement") - the top four holdings are Berkshire, a paper company, mini-Berkshire, and an oil company.

BTW - are mnmag and ConciergeMike still wanting a credential to the Berkshire Annual Meeting?

but going and packing all your items into a car gets very old after oh....twice..when you aren't sure how long you are going to be there due to :mad::mad::mad: RE and developers.

Good morning Box. Finally got my aircard working again -- for some reason it decided to go on vacation this morning.

Shhh. Let him be happy for a couple weeks before he figures that out. ;)

I'm working on a contract with a ukulele player. I've also discussed with our site vendor the location for a beer pong table. I'm worried about the sea breeze influencing the ping pong balls. Task for next week is to see if I can import the burro to SC. It's either that or a limo golf-cart. :-:

The two stocks I bought are doing nicely, but I didn't buy in enough quantity to make real gains...I'm just happy with myself that I picked somewhat well.
