kitties will be happy to get their very own kitty play room. No more pestering me 24/7. I plan on setting up a room with kitty trees (have 2 brand new ones in boxes ready to go) plus in time get shelves set up and maybe a rail around the ceiling area for them to hang up on. I will probably set up the closet area (since it will be a bedroom space) for their litter boxes. Kinda out of site and they wont get the litter all over the room. Im debating if I want to rotate and let a few roam the main areas. So much unneeded kitty hair and mess. May just want it confined. We shall see.

Armorall or something like that is a good brand. I'll use that to clean the interior of my car.

That looks nice. Love the yard! The description that was written about it is hilarious though. It looks maintained but not well maintained and very cluttered for someone trying to sell their home. But yay for roof only being a couple of years old! :D And it has a freaking storage shed! And all those cabinets!!! Also...third bedroom for people? Pft... Make it a library! :D

LOL Well a 3rd bedroom would probably be more of a spare bedroom for guests but keep my craft stuff etc in there too. And books good idea :D

Like maybe a daybed and like a bedside table thing and then rest mini library and craft storage? There's really a lot of different ideas you could go with though.

Yea the only room I have put any thought into is the kitty room. I dont know how to accomplish it all yet but I want them to have a fun place :)

Maybe waiting til Michael is a bit older is a good idea, dogs love little kids so they're very tolerant of being sat on, sprawled upon or having their ears pulled, a cat, much less so, while Merlanni may nor scratch him, she will raise a fuss and probably scare the cheese and crackers out of him

Oh, no! He wouldn't compromise on who he is...wow that would be like falsifying history to get a Noble to patronize him

When does Keel Hauliday start?

~ Cute house! Good luck finding your new home :)

Keel starts today until the 29th. Dress like a pirate today cause and want pictures of all of us.

Emma will be practice for awhile. I'm glad she is tolerate of little kids since she's been around them enough :) Plus she's good at letting kiddos know if they get too rough, a quick bark here and they stop. I'm a bit full. Had a bagel with cream cheese, an orange, and green tea for breakfast.

Lets not do that to Jianni. It's nice to have him be his normal self. I get having to change up due to other situations, meeting important nobles or going to concerts with Teislyn.

It will be kitty palace! It's sad that kitties are such messy things. I like snuggling with them but you are right. You end up coated in hair and looking like a fuzzy ball.

, so where is it? i want some Rum!

, :( i'm sorry to hear that. but perfectly understand that sometimes, you just need a break. (especially if you are LIVING life! ha) please check in once in a while, so we know you're doing ok. HUGS!! HUG HUG HUGS!!!

, we handled it GREAT, because we mostly just got wind and rain. you're right. most of it was south/east of us. even my girl (who is more south then we are) didn't get as much as predicted. so i'm am GRATEFUL! heh.

(oh. CHAT, Lynchburg. i'm in lynchburg now. dear old falwell. ass.)

, all good. the electric didn't even go out!! hahahaaaa my girl was really peaved. because she got 'junk food' instead of 'good food' and then every thing was ok, and she had no 'good food' to fix her meals for the week. heh.

but i DID get some great music, and read some good books, while i "pretended to hunker down" :D

That quick "Hey!" bark will be something they won't quickly forget, but I know our Emma will be a good big sister for Michael. Dang, was thinking it was closer to October, i love Keel Hauliday but don't have much luck restocking at the Fraylise...dang I'm going to have to dress like a male...the things I do for this site lol

LOL It was a personal transition for Jianni, Lore Bards are mostly teachers and consultants Historians, too as long as the Noble doesn't mind historical accuracy or there are no skeletons in the Castle closets, so he dresses the part lol I mean would you trust someone to go through Family Archives if they dressed in eye searing nuclear green, so he's stopped making suggestions to his Teislyn unless its as a joke

Sweetie, I'm going to sound like an asshat, but as much as I love the site and its Culture, its not getting me where I want to go. I'm 55, social security may not exist in 7 years when I'm ready to collect it and I don't want to retire for a few weeks then have to go back to work because I can't make ends meet, I need an Asset, something that will pay residual income even after I've passed on the batonhugs you tightlyI'll be around

I'm glad it was just wind and rain you had to deal with, Mommy

lol it's not being an 'asshat' darling one! I don't blame you AT ALL!! (i personally live in fear. if not for the hub, i would be on the street. and thats no lie. i wouldn't be able to afford any thing)

you're being smart!! YES! do what you can to protect yourself!!

and yah. I NEVER have much luck at the Freya shop.

It's only dressing a male for today, so can get pictures of all of us. It's for the Pepper newsletter :) I don't have much luck with the shop, so I'll do Carl quest and vend.

Emma will be, I've been letting her smell all of the baby clothes and whatever else we get. Just to have her not all shocked when a new baby smell comes in lol. She'll be a good sister for him :)

I'm still figuring out which college I want this bard to go through, thankfully I won't have to make a decision until level 3. Oh yeah, historians aren't always welcome, but with Jianni's charisma, he'll be able to get through the political tape. Teislyn doesn't mind the jokes, she finds its a bit annoying, but still cute lol.

Thank you, Dearest, not to sound like a Gypsy Fortune teller in a B Horror Flick but the future's pretty murky about things like that, Pensions are pretty rare unless you have a job with State or City, Social Security is a crap shoot and since most people live paycheck to paycheck, not many people can put $$ aside in a 401K that you know could be better spent elsewhere. That goodness for Carl's drunk ass!

LOL You know, Leilani, with Holloween almost around the corner, I think you should do the Undead hunting Bard...from the Old School E-1 Bards it makes sense, Bards were dual classed fighter/thieves/mage/druids and from the Druidic take, Undead is a huge violation of the Natural Order but with later editions where you start off as a Bard, I just don't get it. A Cleric or Ranger or Paladin seems like a better choice for an undead hunter

Good idea! That way it won't be quite so much of a shock to her

Had my first meeting with realtor today. It went okay I guess. Nothing wrong with them. Very nice. Just I learned information that WOULD have been helpful several days ago. Looking into all the places in my price range and choosing ones I liked was pretty much for nothing. Apparently one of the terms of my loan is that the do not allow manufactured style homes. I can only get built homes. WHICH in the price range I am allowed is pretty much null. I am feeling kinda defeated right now. I am not given up but started the day happy and hopeful and now just want to cry.

A cat room would be great though. :D

That's good to hear! :D

:

Ass Hat?

ass hat??

ASSHAT??

or....ass hat?????

: I'm sure you will find something very nice and affordable in your price range. Keep up hope my dear.

If it makes you feel any better....

Ahh...fond memories.

HAHAHAAAAA omg girly weasel :D you are The Best! hahahaaaa :D

, ask them if having the manufactured home on a "cement/permanent" foundation, will be ok.

(i think we started to have that problem with our insurance because of that, but when they found out it was on a perman. foundation, that was ok) IF i remember correctly. it WAS over 25 years ago. heh. and we KNOW my memory is crap. :D

it might not help you right away, but it might make it easier to find a house you like and can afford.

(keeping fingers crossed)

. HUGS, exactly. in my whole life, i was never able to put money away. it was ALWAYS living from paycheck to paycheck. (or sponging off someone else. like parents/husband. till i could find a job) that's what is SO freaking scary.

ha! it would be nice, if carl actually GAVE me something decent.

do any of the chance machines give out Freyalise stuff?

Ah, curse me and crush me, I was avoiding anything remotely resembling an anagram, Freddie, but had forgotten about thismewIts a politer way of saying someone's a jackass, Cousin...do I smell Harvey Wallbanger cake?

I feel you, Mommy, a friend of mine pointed out that its easier to budget $200 dollars than to budget $100000, I can see his point, but I'd love the opportunity ro budget a few hundred grand, but it would go to lifestyle, you know, upgrade the car, the house/neighborhood

well, , I found that it's the roof over my head that's most important. then transportation to get food. doctors appt.

now i admit. i've been getting 'gadgets' for my kitchen. but that's because i lost so much, and i have to 're-get' certain items. (grater. temp. gauges) and also, heh, like i told my boy, my pots (2 sauce pans) are older than HE is. that I had gotten them from his GREAT Grandmother!

so i feel like I'm "DUE"/allowed/ to get a saucepan or pot.

other wise. i've been really 'hard' on myself in buying any thing at all.

the only thing i refuse to stop, is my buying of books. and that's the biggest waste of money. because after i read them. that's usually it.

(and yes. i do the library as often as i can. but they only have so much i'm interested in)

I DO know, that the man, he'll save his change, and every few months, he comes up with an extra 80/100 dollars that he'll use for something. (heh. sometimes, just to get gas, or help one of the kids) but still. 100 dollars every 4/5 months is damn good. (in MY opinion)

so any type of savings, is really a help, and i really admire people who can do it. heh. cause i can't.

HA.
