what is your monthly income?

What was the question???

Oh nevermind ... Anyway ...

Glad to see some folks (sweeps, Ima saver, disneysteve) still have a sense of humor.

You're just as likely to find me working out in the yard getting filthy

Don't you mean killing the grass?

[simpleyme]

sure glommed is when people stick you thinking they will catch what you are ;-)

syracus your posts seem to be very unrefined ,I

I am sure our definitions of "refinement" are pretty different.

[simpleyme]

LOL too funny ;-)

Don't you mean killing the grass?

No. I stopped massacring the lawn a few years ago. I mowed it myself for the first 10 years we lived here. I never liked doing it and didn't do it very well. When I finished repaying my student loans, my present to myself was hiring someone else to mow the lawn. Best $50/month I spend.

What I was referring to was pruning bushes and trees, cleaning up fallen tree branches, cleaning the gutters, clearing weeds, etc.

This forum isn't America's house. This is the internet, not any one place on earth.

I'm glad to know, InDebtinDC, that you came from another country. I'm glad to know that of syracusa. I think tripod, too, said s/he is from another country. Good. I have had no experiences in international living, but my interest is piqued when "the world" nonetheless comes to me, whether in people I meet in real life, or on the internet. Between these savingadvice.com forums and the blogs, there are quite a few non-USAers. So, of course, we will get to hear of the experience and interpretations of all sorts of people, even if many of them do currently live in the US.

The last two pages of posts in this thread have nothing useful... shouldn't the thread be closed or retitled?

I do not really find the"offending posts " offensive, they crack me up

there is a song by Brad Paisley " I am so much taller online"

post that spend so much time trying to convince us they are rich ,refined and just full of nuance ,you just know are made by some middle age unemployed guy sitting in his mom basement

but I realize this has very little to do with personal finance as as fun as it is I will also quit feeding the tro..........

Agreed. I pop in to it every now an again to see if it is back on track. It started out pretty good and then just deviated course.

[LivingAlmostLarge]

It's more amusing. Besides the posts by some people have the same tone throughout every post.

I have to remember that word Glommed for later. Hmm...Maybe I can use it in sentence.

Agreed. Redacted all of my comments.

InDebtInDC, I wanted to personally thank you for taking so much time to investigate your new homeland. It was far more in-depth than many of us native-born do!

Joan-of-the-Arch, Well-said!

I didn't read all of the exchanges here but I am not insulted if someone needs a "high society" type for stimulating conversation.

My DW wants exactly what Syracusa describes - a neighborhood of professional friends. I feel for her because we can't afford it. . .so she goes without friends. I really do feel bad about that.

I just point out to her though that I am a country doctor. . .and we'd be sitting around at finely decorated table and like the Planters All-Fruit commercial, I'd say,

"Can ya' pleeze pass da' jelly?"



Syracusa: lighten up a bit.
LivingLarge: you lighten up too. It's okay if someone doesn't want to hang with you because you talk about the Philadelphia Eagles too much and how they are the best football team.
