10. Me, my wife, and two dogs. |
|
Two houses, one in the NC mountains where I am now with the dogs, and one in Dallas that will go back on the market very soon. My wife spends about one or two nights a week in Dallas, and the rest in Chicago or at her job sites (all over the country). She tries to get to the mountain house for the weekends.
Once the Dallas house sells, we will buy a small condo in Asheville or Greenville, SC, for her to stage out of. She will open an office in one of those towns, but still spend a lot of time in her Chicago office and on the road.

We could have. Bu$h can't abide peace, though. As one who has been in a very nasty war (Vietnam, Republic of) and one who has been in the streets and had his head cracked more than once protesting war, I like your name even more!

36. You know that is the thing |

My grandfather was wounded in WWI, both my parents were in the Marines, my father was in KOrea...and I grew up in a famiy where they preached that war was wrong..so I grow up to be this person against war and I am not a patriot!! I protested Vietnam, like I protest Iraq, not because I am against the servicemen, but becuase I am against those who make the rules to send them there...What a bad American I am...as a real aside, my great uncle, invented mustard gas, which helped to win WWI, and also invented synthetic rubber which helped to win WWII>

She is extremely low-key. Never mixes with the neighborhood get-togethers. Unfriendly when we meet walking our dogs. We all think her strange.

43. wtmusic, I have a suggestion for a dog |

since you have a small yard. We have 3 little weenie dogs (and they are spoiled rotten). These little dogs are very protective of their owners, they are good guard dog (they will definitely let you know if someone is around your house and you don't know it), they are lovable, they love cookies and they love to go bye bye.

And a family of white-tail deer in our back 40 (and, no, you can't eat them!), and some lovely California Quail who hang around (and you can't eat them either!).

I only post replies.
They were here first. We don't mind if they have the occasional snack from our garden. Seems the neighbours' yard is tastier, so that takes the pressure off us.

welive in an area where hunting is prohibited. The First Nations folks are allowed to hunt in our area, but they don't because we're on the side of a mountain, and it's getting quite densely populated (relatively speaking). There are easier places in the area to hunt, I guess.
