I am having probably foolish thoughts about buying the house my sister lives in. It's not in great shape, has an awesome location and yard, and it's a duplex. She lives upstairs and we could move my dad in downstairs.

It went on the market today, at less than I expected, so it's right at the point that it could be feasible. (20 k either direction would make it an easy call. As it is I'm torn.)

Because books.

Sounds like a decent investment, brenda, with the river view and two units. And it would be great for your dad!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

You could offer the 20K less and see what happens? It doesn't sound so foolish to me -- but what do I know!

housing prices make me cry

why I gotta live in LA? why?

Right? My only consolation is that if my mother holds out, I could inherit a house. In (god willing) 30 years.

Totally! Would your sister and dad rent from you? Would that be weird, or is your family OK with money things? (For some families that would be mad awkward)

Which reminds me I have to write my mother the rent check...

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I ordered silk glove liners from Wintersilks. You'd think I would realize that they come in pairs, and order one, not two. Sometimes I wonder how I manage to dress myself.

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

just means you have extra or you can share with a family or friend in the cold.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

It doesn't sound foolish to me.

Personally, I'd try to not think about it for, say, 48 hours. Then when I think about it again my brain will have sorted through a lot of stuff without my nails suffering for it.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Extra silk glove liners is not a bad thing. They are super easy to lose.
