I'm glad you have heat, Amy.
Sorry about the wallet, shrift.
I do like watching Property Brothers rip a house apart and put them back together.
Mom! Dead people are talking to you. Do the math!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I think it was Property Brothers that we were watching. They start the show by showing the people a really nice house that has everything they want, and then explaining that it's two or three times more than their budget. Which seems kinda mean.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Yay for power, Amy!
What a PITA, shrift. Sorry.

I've called around to local precincts and it hasn't been turned in. I guess I'm going to start the process of canceling everything and file a police report in the morning.

I think a giant slush puddle probably ate the wallet.
I am in favor of having power, especially in winter.
What do you do with a kid who does not want to spend 3 weeks this summer with grandma on Cape Cod, because you won't be there for 2 of them? This kid, I swear, 7 years old and he still would much rather stay home with mama than do anything.

Because books.
I'm sorry about the wallet, shrift. That bites.
flea, do you have to give him a choice?

He may well change his mind once he's there. But yeah, kids rejecting vacation are always an annoyance.

Yeah, I think this is one of those "suck it up kid, you'll like it or not, but it's what you're doing"

Yes, except that I kinda feel like you ought to be able to tell that. I mean, sure, there are some properties that are worth a lot more than I'd guess, but if you took me somewhere in my own city, and showed me a place with all kinds of awesomeness and fancy, I'd probably be able to guess it was more than I could afford! (Though oddly, one of the things that popped in my head as "fancy" is a wine fridge, which....is not really ALL that fancy (I'm picturing one of those below-counter half-size ones that just holds wine). I'm not sure where I would put one, but if I really wanted one, I could have one. ...not that I need or want one)

Okay, I have called my banks and the one store card I have, and just remembered to report my FSA debit card. I'll see if I can get a temp corporate credit card tomorrow after I go to the nearest police precinct and the nearest bank to get a temp debit card.
