Well, the rental situation here in RI is terrible. Hard to find places, then really expensive (>$1000 / month for two bedroom place). When I moved here, I didn't know if I was going to stay and what the consulting situation was like, so I didn't want to buy a house (and I'm really tired of throwing my money at landlords). So intead, I bought a nice trailer home for $16,500 (US), now I only pay $300/month for land use and that leaves the park owner responsible for all outside things: septic, water, electricity, road PLOWING, etc. It works out well. It's in a nice trailer park and I'm surrounded by mostly retired people, so their nice and quiet. The place is small enough to be easily maintained yet big enough for myself, my girlfriend, and my son. Also, we're far enough back from the main road that it's really quiet at night--no street noises. There's a lot of houses where that isn't true (can you tell I really treasure quiet). Where I live has cable Internet access, so that's another beni. You're not "nuts to butts" like in an apartment, but there's a nice sense of community--everyone knows each other. I can forget to lock the door and not worry about it because I know my neighbhors will be looking out for me. Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

:-D We went shopping yesterday to stock up on Tylenol and Motrin (this is her second go around so we know the ropes) and bought two big containers of organic vanilla yoghurt! Flowers--great idea! Thanks! Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

Let's see..... yeah.. it's -2(celcuis) right now..... I hate snow. :mad: Your son is welcome to have all the snow we get, and then some. :brrrrr: That's why I ramble so much. If you're short and quotable, there's a much greater danger of ending up in a sig. [Christopher Duncan on how to prevent yourself from ending up in a sig]

Yeah.. but I spent a good while scrapping all the damn ice off my car on Monday morning due the nice weekend snowstorm. :mad: And it only gets worse. <sarcasm>I just can't wait until Jan/Feb </sarcasm> when the *real* storms hit. :brrr: That's why I ramble so much.

what makes you think it'll still be around by Christmas? Naa, it doesn't need to stick around. It's what you do in it (and rolling around in it naked is out--see other posts) that made it special. My son and I had a snowball fight and we made a cool snowman. I'll post some pictures soon (like in a few days). Marc Help! I'm an AI running around in someone's f*cked up universe simulator.

> it doesn't need to stick around Sure it does. ;P I hate snow, but I'm ok with it on Christmas day itself. Doesn't look like Christmas (to my Canadian eyes) otherwise. :-)
