Totally relate on our house being a money pit. :D<br /><br />You're a nice polite guy. *I like you for that.* But the amount a person weighs doesn't lie. If a morbidly overweight person says she only has an "occasional cupcake" extra but otherwise eats right, that's highly questionable because it doesn't jive with science. A person's calories are directly reflected in poundage. Recently, a woman who weighs over 300 pounds told me that she is "lucky" when she gets under 3,000 calories per day--meaning that she usually eats *more* than 3,000 calories per day to weight over 300 pounds. That is pure honesty from my friend. 3,000 calories per day=all of the calories I eat in a day + 4 frosted cupcakes. I personally have some friends who are morbidly obese and I love them, regardless of weight. But it was NOT an occasional cupcake that got them there, and my friends fully know that. <br /><br />:-) MarionAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499442282999349686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2882545333364701877.post-3956830473159396302013-05-18T21:03:45.269-04:002013-05-18T21:03:45.269-04:00Ah, the joys of home ownership!

We've been getting estimates on new rooves (roofs?) on both the house & garage since they were obviously built long ago by a group of deranged monkeys who'd never heard of "inspection" or "code".<br /><br />Good luck on the budget cuts!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06721618593816063122noreply@blogger.com
