Ah, yes, of course. The gypsies, they gave you your soul. The gypsies are filthy people. Ptui! We shall speak of them no more.

msbelle, that's an ADORABLE house. The backyard is fab. What does the brick path lead to in the corner.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

LOVE the tile throughout. And a fireplace! Sweet.

Coding and Sleeping

This is an interesting line from the first article.

The FBI spokesman also told Fox News that as of 10:30 a.m. local time. there was nothing to indicate that this targeted the FBI or that the crash was terrorism-related.

"The building lies along a flight path," the spokesman said, so right now it looks like an "accident."

Did the spokesman actually use air-quotes (I'm sure he didn't), is the reporter interjecting their own opinion, or a typo?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

Thanks everyone. not done yet though.

Kat, the pathway goes to a round slab. My guess is they had benches or something out there. I am getting rid of it, I just want maximum lawn back there. Some of the plants will get moved to the front and side yards where I want to minimize lawn.

I want to go shopping for paint and blinds.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm guessing the spokesman didn't actually say "so right now it looks like," but did say "accident."

So, how far ahead do you really have to get there for Amtrak?

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

msbelle, that house is adorable and so very much you. Fingers crossed on them accepting your offer!
