[Shakespeare]

62. heehee

It was a delicious grilled cheese, too! :hi:

[Left Is Write]

3. I'm drinking a porter and waiting for my husband to get home.

We were going to go buy a new dvd player/recorder, but considering the lateness of the hour, I don't think that will be happening tonight.

[AlCzervik]

4. Leaving soon to Chaperon a middle school dance.

:beer: <--------- i wish, but i have to drive.

6. Sitting in a pile of cats, watching TV.

[Ava]

7. staying inside and watching the weather

earlier i cleaned up which included washing clothes and hanging them back up in the color coded way that i have my closet organized.

i may be a wee bit of a neat freak :P

[MorningGlow]

8. Moments away from putting Boy Hero to bed (late!)

Reading a little more Charlotte's Web first...
:woohoo:

[HarukaTheTrophyWife]

9. Ummm...I ripped up the guest room rug earlier

I figured I'd clean up the kitchen a bit, and go out back and throw sticks for the dogs.

[GOPisEvil]

10. I just ate a "bologna" sandwich and some pringles.

Now I am watching "Gangland".

Wooo...it's a party over here.

[rucky]

11. Bill Gates and Ted Turner are coming over to play poker.

[Ava]

12. i hope you're planning to get them drunk before you start playing

with (their) real money :rofl:

[LeftyMom]

13. Still cooking for the meetup.

The fudge is cooling, now I'm waiting to hear if anybody has thrown together a proper dinner entree or if I should do so. I might anyhow, better too much food than not enough.

[RiffRandell]

14. Wine and math. n/t

[TZ]

15. Watching tv while BB is napping on the couch

We had a kinda rough afternoon....hit a deer with her car....

[flvegan]

16. Not the Eagles flavored Firebird!!!!!!

[TZ]

18. No her bf's jeep

Fortunately. We hit the deer HARD. It went flying...nobody seems to be badly hurt though BB has a sore neck. The jeep is in bad shape

[flvegan]

20. Her boyfriend is gonna be mad.

Glad everyone is okay. Well, likely the deer isn't. BB will get better. She may choose to lawyer up and sue the deer's Estate.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

17. My dear flvegan!

After dinner, for our excitement, my husband and I are going to watch a movie...

"The Changeling!"

Angelina Jolie and I forget who else...the story about her kidnapped son, and how the boy who was returned, wasn't him...

We've heard such good things about it!

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

19. Sitting in Lelapin's apartment

looking at catalogs, listening to music and posting on DU. :)

[sakabatou]

21. Talking to my fiancee

[UrbScotty]

22. Updating my LinkedIn profile

and other assorted fun things!

[Starry Messenger]

23. Sitting in my new apartment looking at a big old pile of my stuff in several boxes.

I know it's not getting out of those boxes by itself, but the internet beckons.

[susanna]

64. Well, you could try what I did the last time I moved...

1) only unpack what's absolutely necessary; you'll know.

2) mark the contents of what's left in each box cryptically (i.e., "cleaning products" for bathroom stuff like soap dishes, dispensers and shower gels).

3) store cryptically marked boxes in a storage area.

4) find out three years from now that you never truly needed anything you left in the cryptically marked boxes.

Actually, you'll visit the storage area within the next few weeks to find the stuff you forget during step 1). The rest? Well...I got rid of a lot of stuff a few years back following precisely these steps. I think it's a brilliant approach and I would use it again. Lots more time to do what you like. :-)

[Starry Messenger]

68. I like these suggestions. :)

I have a feeling I'm going to go in this direction. At least it's a little better than my impulse last week when it was all still at my old place to encase it all in lucite resin and leave it all for the next tenants as a shrine!

[susanna]

72. OK, I'm going to borrow that idea.

Because, looking around, if I EVER move again, I'm doomed. Just doomed. Lucite resin, indeed. :rofl:

[Jamastiene]

24. Nursing a bad bad headache.

Getting ready to blow this joint and go play Runescape as soon as the massive amount of pain meds I just took start to kick in...I'm beginning to wonder if they ever will. Wow, this is a bad headache. :hangover: <---- Closest smiley I could find for headache. I only WISH I had some alcohol to have a hangover.

[Inchworm]

25. I'm playing hard to get

I have pants on...

:P

[Jamastiene]

27. OMG

Inchworm is wearing pants. :shocked: :P

[InvisibleTouch]

26. I'm trying to put off washing the dishes.

I hate hate hate dishes, and I've got a mountain of them waiting for me. Mostly from making dog food. Those spoiled brats. :)

[yellowdogintexas]

30. the dishes and the laundry. They just never end do they? nt

[InvisibleTouch]

36. See, but I don't mind doing laundry.

(Most of that is generated by the dogs too, come to think of it!) Something about the dishes though, is just the worst. I'm still loitering here. They're still not done. Bah.

[yellowdogintexas]

85. I had crammed everything that would fit into my dishwasher so those got

done and I ACTUALLY put them away this morning. But the stuff that either won't fit or shouldn't be put in the dishwasher have now been soaked about 4 times.

I have many baskets of clean laundry needing to be hung up or folded, and dirty to wash.

It is the putting away !

Cats love baskets of laundry LOL

[yellowdogintexas]

28. posting on DU, listening to an all Beethoven broadcast of the Ft Worth

Symphony and procrastinating on stuff I should be doing.
Silly me, I thought having this great music would mean I got some work done instead of watching TV.

[JackBeck]

29. Just spent the last 5 hours walking around DC.

Now back at this new mini city located at the National Harbor, in the middle of nowhere, having some eats and some beers trying to forget how freaking sore I am.

[quakerboy]

31. learning about Real estate

Anyone know anything about home owners associations?

[flvegan]

34. I'm an expert in all things real property title related.

Depending on the state. Whatcha got?

[quakerboy]

37. What is typical?

What do I need to know. What should I look for in a HOA? What details should I be reading for as I potentially buy a condo?

[flvegan]

42. Thoroughly read your Covenants and Restrictions, as well as any amendments to them.

Know how much your monthly fees are going to be up front.

Keep in mind, most likely your restrictions on a condo mean you basically own everything INSIDE the walls lining your condo unit. Porch/balcony/stoop or any fixtures to the outside (like a dish, etc) will need approval.

Take time to understand how the assn will assess if a particular building needs a new roof, or a parking lot needs to be paved. You may have to chip in. Buying a condo can be pretty stressful.

If you're unsure, talk to a lawyer WELL schooled in title and real estate law. That investment will be worth it. Your title insurance owner's policy will take Exception to all of the Declarations, Covenants and Restrictions set forth by your condo assn as standard practice, so you have no "I didn't know" recourse.

[quakerboy]

65. oh.. a specific question

several condos within one grouping are listed. With different HOA fees(50/month variance).

Why would the hoa fees be different for 2 mirror units in the same building(same SQ foot, same floor plan only mirrored, one costs more because its finished, the other needs some appliances and paint)?

[flvegan]

70. Condos often go up in phases.

The association may "spin off" another HOA for that particular phase. For example...

New development of condos, called Groovy Condos goes up and publishes their Declaration of Restrictions, etc (dor). They put up a building, and all is good. Then, on the same "campus" they put up another building. New assn and new dor for Groovy Condos Phase I. And on and on. Also, some condos have two (or more) associations. The master association and the specific building/phase association.

However, two mirror units in the same building with different fees is a bit of a red flag. It's possible that "under construction" units have a different hoa assessment than a finished unit because one is habitable and one isn't.

[quakerboy]

76. thanks for the info

[rcrush]

32. Cavs vs Spurs

Spurs look like they are coming back at the half.

[LeftyFingerPop]

33. Chatting on Skype, sipping a glass of wine, watching MSNBC...

a pleasant evening, all in all.

[Initech]

35. Watching the Lakers, waiting to see if any of my buddies respond to my calls / text.

[BarenakedLady]

38. Not much

Got approved for the loan on my new as-yet-to-be-built home, wrote a $6500 check to builder, and hmmmm made fried potatoes. That's about it.

Partay at BNL's new batchelorette pad this summer! :D

[Inchworm]

41. Woot!

I'll even wear pants!

Congratulations!!

:yourock:

:*

[BarenakedLady]

44. Yay

I'll put you on the list...as long as you promise to wear pants. :P

[flvegan]

43. Congrats!

I'm behaving myself right now, so don't be offended that I'm not offering to help you break in a certain specific room in your new home.

[BarenakedLady]

45. Awwww

And I'll have so many other rooms to break in too! :(

;)

[flvegan]

46. Temptress.

I have lots of vacation time saved up...

[BarenakedLady]

51. Woohoo!

:woohoo:

I'll start working out.

:evilgrin:

[flvegan]

54. What for? Stamina?

[BarenakedLady]

59. Dude, I'm old

And waaaaay out of practice. :D

You, not so much.

[flvegan]

61. I'll bet

[PaddyBlueEyes]

[falcon97]

47. Watching Keith and Rachel replays. n/t

[underpants]

[Jack Sprat]

49. Hoping for a successful bowel movement

tomorrow. Could have used it today. Maybe, tomorrow.

[TK421]

50. Having a few beers and listening to some 80's music on YouTube

You're scrubbing a tub while typing? THAT is fucking talent

[DarkTirade]

52. We just did an MST3k style viewing of Labrynth.

It was fun. Lots of yelling at the screen, ect. :P

[susanna]

60. I've had a hugely productive night so far.

Including cleaning the tub! Great minds think alike.

Besides that, made dinner (including homemade bread - that's a rarity), did three loads of laundry, changed the beds, cleaned the bathroom, washed the dishes, caught up with the Hell's Kitchen/Top Chef blogs on televisionwithoutpity.com, and also ordered my veggie seeds for the garden this year.

I think someone slipped something in my water this afternoon. I haven't done this much in...well, pretty much forever. It just can't be natural.

DH just asked if I had an "off" switch about ten minutes ago. I think he's ready for bed. :rofl:

[Radical Activist]

63. I was thinking about going to a band later.

It's a pretty good local band but I know who exactly will be there, I know which women I'm attracted to that will be there who I've already tried dating or who decided they'd rather indulge a self-destructive streak by being with an ugly, drug addicted loser instead of me. I need to get out of this fucking town.

[BeachBaby]

66. I have whiplash, I've got a wine buzz, and.....

I'm on the phone with the Pi Guy, discussing sexual favors.

[TZ]

67. Sheesh. I leave you alone to go shower

And look at all the trouble you get into. Tsk tsk :rofl:

[3.14158675309]

69. Whiplash? Was I too rough for you, BB?

:shrug:

[BeachBaby]

71. I never said whiplash was a BAD thing.

[3.14158675309]

73. So it was good for you then?

I still have 9 good hours left!

[BeachBaby]

74. I don't want to kill you, love.

[3.14158675309]

75. Try! Try!

That's how I want it! To come and go!

[omega minimo]

77. Twittering

[Lucian]

81. That sounds so dirty.

:rofl:

(I know what that is, btw.)

[carlyhippy]

78. I went to a casino and lost 20.00....

I should have just stayed home...did get a tasty hamburger in the cafe there.

[Lucian]

79. I just got off work.

Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. :eyes:

[av8rdave]

80. Having some cocktails in Indianapolis

Don't have to work until Sunday...so there!

[barb162]

82. Sudoku, TV, DU, email, etc

Exciting, huh?

[ghostsofgiants]

83. I went to a karaoke bar with co-workers. It was more ridiculous than it sounds.

I performed "With Arms Wide Open" by Creed.

[chknltl]

84. Sitting in my unheated computer room...

...with frozen toes but not for much longer.
