Decent places for 250-300k.

Dayton, WA ?
Waitsburg, WA?
Baker City, OR?

I think it's Vedic scripture, Bhagavad Gita, that says something like "You have the right to work but for the work's sake only; you have no right to the fruits of work.".

I disavow all associations with Clea Nunderware, Anna Phalaktic, Jenny Tull, Lou Stewells, or Bill Meleighter.

condolences tbs. contribution forthcoming

Good luck Oft!

He's practicing.

Hey, sometimes being married with teenagers is like being alone.

At least the cat likes me.

That stinks.

There's a few mischaracterizations in there. Shall we make this multiple choice?

Anyway, oft has valuable experience and a good heart.

Likewise (about skiing with you).

I can't really see your position. I don't think you can really see mine but I don't expect you to do so

Not all men are like that. Granted, most people suck.

I hope you'll think about what...

It was the 50's and I think the martini and eventually 4 fingered brandy and sodas

KQ, you've always rocked. rock on!

If what I posted is lost on you, would you mind if I deleted it?

No more what?

She was, so that's why I try to say I kind of get it, 'kind of' because I'm not going to trivialize anyone's experience.

While I appreciate your support, please do not pity me. I am incredibly...

Mom drank herself into the ground, has some form of dementia and has been bedridden for 8 or so years, doesn't really recognize me and I am her agent for everything.

OK, while I'm fortunate enough at this point in my life not to have to deal with divorce directly, what were' really getting at is empathy across sexual differences.

So here's the deal: my mom in...

I care, no matter how immasculine that may sound.

This isn't a court. Also, oft is a class guy and would never espouse that mode in "public". I don't think many of us consider this chatbored "public" in that sense.

The popline study is...

FWIW Hutz, oft is one of the nicest people I've had the good fortune to meet. Your tone and insinuations are wholly inappropriate. Consider the outliers.

One thing about empathy I think is that it eventually has to be a 2 way street.

Props and condolences to those of you going through this stuff.

Yup. Divorce innuendo is pretty feeb.

Where would we be without a little slipperyness?

It's all about trust, believing and being able to recognize empathy or the absence thereof. I can't imagine that love has a lot to do with...

I think he was trying to get at the idea that this extension of empathy, this willingness to do things that may not be at the top of the list, is one of the hallmarks of love.

In the sense that...

My take away is like ofts: it doesn't mean an entitlement to me, it means there's an empathy, an understanding, a willingness to go a bit out of one's way to make the other person feel good. Its...

Hokay...taker 'er easy, there's too many assholes out there to get worried about.

OK, yes, sometimes I am and sometimes I'm not. It's not obvious depending on what the recipient is experiencing that day.


In case I need to be explicit: the remark #747 above is not directed at...

Being an asshole is like a seasoning. Some people just don't get that it should be used judiciously or simply have no other spice in life.

My in laws still have the homestead my MIL was born in in Redmond. They are the last holdouts of the homesteaders. Barn was built in 1890, house they live in was built in 1907.
