    Single but not married, not young either in my mid 40's now. I own two houses and need one where I actually work and live now. The other two are paid for and aren't going anywhere but I need an actual house to live in. There are homes within 1/4 mile of the new office. Some are nice but I...

    I'm pretty versed in it. I have two homes already. But I thought an agent might shed some light on the market and the locale since I've been in town two weeks. Guess not.

    Now have texting. Wasn't my fault or the phone. AT&T screwed up and had texting turned off at the account level for whatever reason.

    The joys of house shopping begin again. Apparently the #1 job of a real estate agent now is financing coaching. When you tell them you don't need help in that department they get all bitchy. I talked with two locally and they couldn't get past the entie "how much do you make" crap and they want...

    Trying to locate those now. Hate this phone. Found it but don't know really what I am looking for., it has data connection = on. The only thing I found online was to try texting your own phone number which does nothing as well.

    Gravy's Cooking Thread

    I really don't have anything currently except pots/pans because it's a fully furnished apartment. All my stuff is being moved out here when I buy a house. I could pick up a cheap slow cooker easily enough. That's probably a pretty good idea.

    I had to go have the grille guard removed from my truck today. So that was $50 since I don't have my tools and hoist here. I moved to the big city and it's not made for trucks like mine at all. Stopped by the cigar store on the way home and parked next to a new porche. Stopped at the car wash...

    Okay bros - Oil Prices & Energy Stocks - time to buy?

    Same here. I have leased rights in two states, the leases run for 3 years and they have been renewing. But when they aren't producing you don't get that share of production which is 25% for my leases. So you get a lease payment at the start of the 3 years and 25% production and rights of first...

    They are moving the drillers from here out of the shale oil further west back into areas they can drill for natural gas. I don' tknow what the long term outlook is really. Members of OPEC have stated they want to drive out the frackers, that's going to take more than a few months. They will have...

    Spring is here! Went to my parents today in SW MS and they have Azelas blooming. Back in october they had a pretty good cold spell down to the low 20's which is pretty cold that close to the gulf. Then it warmed up. Noticed today they were already bloomed out and more budding. Odd.

    Acorns - The Spare Change Investment App

    I'm old fashioned, I pay cash for most of the small type of stuff. Every so often I take my jars of change down to the bank and they run it thru their machine. Every year I wind up with about $300 to $500 in change and just put it in the checking account at the bank so they do it for free.
