I forgot to ask about the work habits of the couple above me. They have lived there for over 20 years... and dont work anymore. They wake up at 4:30-5 am and the sound of [their floor boards] creaking above me wakes me up without fail every single day.

It also didn't occur to me that on trash day, trying to make my way down the one car only narrow roads out of the hills, would be impossible since I cant pass the trash truck.

***I know what you mean about squeaky floorboards. if i ever live anywhere else, i will not want people living above me. it sucks.

she should take photos of this gadget and mark it in a way that it could be identified if stolen. maybe use a night deposit bag. it is tough and has a lock and key.

i had loud neighbors, loud music all night. i didn't bother trying to talk to them, i called the police directly. they are adults and should have known better.

i would have loved to hear, " Adults do not have all the answers." as i get older i realize more and more that we are all just making it up as we go. there isn't a handbook for getting older.

I think High Point waited too long to make updates and fight with Vegas. I work for a company that continues to show at the IHFC. It is difficult for everyone to make it to Las Vegas, so it helps the east coast dealers.

of course they will have dairy. it is a large industry in this country. wouldn't want to offend the dairy market.

doesn't his depend on who you can trust to sell you and original? how would anyone know? i guess if you do the homework and are familar with the history, even then you can get swindled.

i live without a desk. i usually end up sitting on the sofa and working anyway. the last desk i had just served as unused office items. i got rid of it and do not regret it.
I also do not have a dining table, though i've been fine without it for years, i miss the idea of sitting at a table and eating with freinds.

i hear that a lot of people have success with ebay. my experience is not so great, if you have to use paypal. there is no live customer service with paypal. someone stole my account number and made charges using my paypal account, it was a six month trial to get that money back. paypal didn't catch the issue, even when the culprit used their own name and email address.

i love the mixture of two styles of sofa. or maybe a sofa one style and an oversized chair or loveseat in another style. it creates a more relaxed enviroment. a high precentage of people hunt for comfort over appearance. find a compromise and your set!

nice place. i can't imagine putting all that work into a place i do not own. staying put in one rental for 15 years? i don't think i could do it. unless it was a house and i had a great relationship with the owner.
