Kids, cell phones (ignoring what they are supposed to be doing) and "cell talk" (not sure if it is due to texting or what).
How the heck and I supposed to know if the thing your righting, is supposed to be a B, a R, or a K, since your using the same symbol for it, and your spelling is already atrocious.
since I don't want to reply to the YMOL thread I'm quoting as this has minimal to do with YMOL. My rant today is I am a martyr but such would be my own darn fault.Quote:
I had that experience realizing that by giving my kids money for downpayments on houses, I will be working a year or two more. I am still glad I did it, but it's a sobering thought.
I am kind of contemplating saving up some money to help my mom with house repairs. If I saved $500 a month, I could put 5k to help her in a year or so. Why am I taking this on? Even in contemplation now. >8) Eh because the pipes barely even pump water in many rooms ... I'll inherit part of the estate some day (hopefully not soon) but even then only part of it (not a house for myself - it's split - somehow - by selling probably though I suppose there are other ways).
I'm contemplating joining my bf in trying to start a business in our free time. I don't have an entrepreneurial bone in my body I don't think. It's not even how I'd choose to spend my life. (Yea everyone who can't even hold down a @#$# job *EVER* in their life is contemplating "starting a business" these days. But we know how to work at any rate, even if not easily how to find jobs, so that's part doesn't apply - but the horribleness of jobs out there these days might - him more than me.). Not what I would do if single ...
APN, I think you are awesome to be thinking of helping your mom with the house repairs.
ANM
Are you an only child? A couple of my friends did something similar with their mom, after their dad died. (only one relative was close)
Unfortunately, they didn't have much she needed, because in the late 80's there was a house fire, and the house was replaced.
ANM, I would urge you to very carefully consider throwing that much money at a piece of real estate you don't own as a possible investment, If and when that times comes, come here and throw out the facts and we can help you analyze the cost /benefit.
If you are doing it purely to help your mother, that is another issue, but still it is has lots of problems.
I'm annoyed that the sore throat I've had for close to 4 weeks is getting worse and I probably have to stop ignoring it and dismissing it as a virus. Money on the doctor's co-pay, time wasted at the doctor and money on an antibiotic.
Had a horrible depressing day, and just when I start to feel better, two people have to get all snarly with me here. Now I am back to feeling like mental poo!
I dreamed I was going back to work. Ugh. It was in a nebulous library, unclear what I would be doing, but
I knew I wouldnt be good at it. Ugh.
I was glad to wake up.
Crazy weather is making me feel like poo - cold at night in the 40s then zipping to over 90 the next afternoon! My body can't take it!
