Thanks me too, hubby went to look at three yesterday, the one on the lake is the one we put in for (looks more like a canal) The one we got bumped on is back on the market too, so that is our second choice

That too.

Those were the days, my friend
We thought they'd never end
We'd sing and dance forever and a day
We'd live the life we choose
We'd fight and never lose
For we were young and sure to have our way
La la la la la la

Try some real lyrics.

Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Lookin' for adventure
And whatever comes our way
Yeah Darlin' go make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Born to be wild

I worked for a dot.com in Seattle early 2000. The guy who replaced me when I left had just lost his Amazon job. Then he lost his new job a couple of months later when they relocated to Atlanta... tough times.

that about sums it up for me too.


gave up smoking

put on ten ton of weight

On our second dog

gave up trying to dress in any way fashionable in Winter

I now think it's perfectly reasonable to drive 3 hours to Boston to pick people up and drive back again. And think nothing of driving to NYC

Got sent to debt collectors for a hospital bill

oh.....and I got mould in the basement...and just an hour ago got the all clear that we are now mould free and can start to rebuild...woop!
