So if I theoretically had at one point purchased body armor from a friend when he was struggling to make ends meet and needed money to buy food for his premature baby girl before payday, do I get a pass because it was "for the children?"
Not that I HAVE body armor, of course. Why would a...
I've been delayed more often than not, apparently there's a convicted felon a state over with the same name as me. Even putting my SSN on the form it seems to be 50/50. Well, I had a previous employer tell me that after a background check, anyway.
I googled and *think* I found him on...
May just be our turtles, but when we gave 'em feeder fish it seemed to cause some digestive issues. I.E. the tank water got *real* murky, *real* quick. Might also be that we got the feeder fish at petsmart.
On a completely unrelated note, anyone want to adopt two turtles? :)
Won't have chickens until next year, and I'm sure my fiance won't let me feed it to the dog. That 3 year old boxer is her baby - spoiled as anything, but very protective of the lady. Which is a good thing in my book.
Any experience on how bad the pyre would smell?:puke:
So, moved a few months ago to a couple of acres in a more rural area, outside of city limits and surrounded by woods and farmland. Heard coyotes a few times, but sounded a ways away and hadn't bothered about 'em yet.
Last night I heard 'em again, and they sounded a lot closer than before, so I...
The fiance and I were headed out for a date night yesterday afternoon, and stopped at the Circle K on US40 in Plainfield for some gas. I glanced around when I got out of the car, and noticed that at a nearby pump there was a gentleman who was with what I can only assume to be his wife and young...
We got pre-approval for the loan, and the house we picked was one of the ones their Realtor send us as compatible with the loan we'd been pre-approved for.
I can probably get it moved out if I need to, it would be a pain for everyone involved since there's already someone planning on moving in June 1st. Family doesn't live close enough to my work for me to live with a family member, and I don't think I could afford a hotel room and storage...
I know, just ranting. I just can't understand how we could get this far in the process and then suddenly find out that the type of loan is incompatible with that address. Isn't that one of the first things you'd check?
Ok, so we've been going through this whole mortgage thing for a while now. We got pre-approval for our loan. Then we picked a house, got appraisals and inspections. Then the actual loan approval process. Signed all the paperwork, got word back that we were approved. Our mortgage guy has been...
Mine is kind of existential.
On some level I know this is more of a human condition thing. When I was a kid, I thought adults had all the answers. That the adults knew what was going on.
Now that I *am* an adult, I *have* figured it out. I figured out that adults don't have all the answers...
It took me forever to figure out what the "marathon badges" were for. You know, the stickers with a random number on them?
Even now that I know the purpose is to make sure everyone knows you've completed a marathon (because what's the point of completing a marathon if people don't know you...
