any more bites?

Actually, we are under contract. Closing date is 24 June. We close on our new house 20 May. All is good. Just need to get through home inspector this Saturday.

<<<thumbs up>>>

Now that you suggested I think about it... I could probably stay 3 weeks and that's allowing 500 Euro per day and roundtrip business class tix for TWO!

Umm, yeah. My friend was married and he was considering transportation and hotels for two. I have roof replacement coming up and I expect it to be a real kick in the coccyx.

To be fair, my price includes new gutters/downspouts,soffitt, and fascia trim. Siding is a 2014 project.

Dr Wizard, Dr of Proctoligy?

Nah, I don't need any professional opinions on that subject.

Not so much. Tried it and my wife wasn't a big fan of the gift. LOL

Try a Motherhood Medal. :-)

I did buy her a Polish medal once; Long Marital Life.

Food to hear that. Time you started planning your next Xmas pressie from your better half... A BRAND NEW LARGER SCREEN!!

Hello, I have seen your references to the Yerevan flea market. I am not familiar with this,sounds interesting, what can you tell me about it? Thanks John

Irish, I am currently living in Yerevan, Armenia. Every weekend there is a junk, flea, craft market in the center of the city. There are a few medal dealers with tables; 99% Soviet, but a few other odds and ends pop up now and then. It's only 5 minutes from my apartment; so, I usually stop by every weekend to see what's on offer.

All advice is welcome and good. After 30 years in the Army, we've only bought 2 houses and sold only one - this will be the second. Of course, the "dream home" is meant to be the last one we'll own.

Interviewed two realtors so far; one's low price was the others high price. The 3rd one will be the tie breaker.

Painting and new carpet. That's all we'll do... Since we have a cat, we figure the price of new carpet will help ensure we aren't on the market too long.

This exam was for social studies/history. After taking a refresher course, I'll be sitting the exam for German as well.

Congrats!!!! Great job! When do you start??

Well, I still have to take a course on the "how to be a teacher" part. That starts in August. Then I'll have a provisional license to teach in Virginia. Then I'll need to find a teaching position. Still a bit to go...

I've found that everything grew twice as much this summer.

Yea, the nasty bits are flourishing. Unfortunately, we've a well and waterfront; so, I'm reluctant to go on full attack.

I've been away!!!!!!! LOL!!

All Quiet on the GMIC Front.

Grats!! I still have not done that, anything over 8 becomes too much work!

who won /;>)

There were two teams; red and blue. In the morning, red was the Germans/blue the Americans. In the afternoon, we switched. So, both teams got to attack and defend. There was a point system, but I didn't pay attention. I was just a private. ;-)

sat's definitely true.

You've learnt too much from Chris...

About Imperial German militaria - yes. About beer drinking - I've forgotten more than he will ever know.
