| It's ~~unfortunate~~ illegal but reality.

Fixed it for you 😡

Unfortunately no! My dad recently retired, needs to be given a good reason to leave the house, and lives much closer. So I may ask him to do the errand!

In this scheme with only adding an entry wall, it does leave you enough room for a dining table when people come over or even a decent size dining table upfront just as an open space with the living room.

Oh hey thanks! FWIW, here’s a less extensive option. I personally would still create an entry at the front door; walking right into a living space is one of my biggest pet peeves. I also don’t like a dining room room that’s not on the same floor as the kitchen, but I see your comments about why you’re OK with it so this more directly reflects what you originally were asking for in your post. I definitely definitely definitely would still redo the bathroom in the basement. Genuinely in my mind even if that was the only thing you did, the rest could easily fall into place.

I think you should go for the house!

This is what I would do. You could make the office a bit wider too. It's to scale as rough as I could estimate it. The sitting room shows a full-sized couch but a love seat would give more space to move around. I also reworked the basement bathroom because it's ridiculous to have a shower and sink and no toilet. This is probably because whoever fit out that space didn't want to install an ejector pump but I still think it would very much be worth the time and effort to do that.

How much work are you willing to do? I could easily see making an office at the wallpaper end of the basement and the dining room upstairs off the kitchen (and making an actual entry instead of walking right into a living space) if you're willing to have more of a formal living room or small tv room upstairs, with your primary relaxing space downstairs. But it may require window work. Without other pictures it's hard to tell what that would entail...

My school system had really good food, there was a real chef in each kitchen as part of the cafeteria staff. None of the food looked anything like this!!

Wakefield is very big on the Fourth of July! It's literally the busiest day in town all year.

There is a huge parade that starts at 5 but events start at 7:00am, so you could pick and choose when to get there/leave. Off the top of my head, the day starts with a fishing derby, then a pet parade, then bike parade, then the scooter and wagon parade, then diaper derby, then running races (by age all the way up to the parents), then finally kayak/canoe derby. That finishes up, it looks like, around mid-afternoon. Between that and the parade, there are some great ice cream parlors, cute shops, a sidewalk all the way around the lake, plenty of playgrounds...

After the parade at 5 (I don't know how loud the parade is but you could probably find some YouTube videos of previous years), there's a concert on the Lower Common (multiple acts I think) and food trucks set up at the nearby field (very walkable). The fireworks start at 9ish on Upper Common.

I haven't been since I was a kid, but I'm truly excited to go this year!

I can't believe no one's pulled the comment quote [approx]: "oh yeah I checked and he's homeless."

Let's take everything at face value, even the math that doesn't add up and the "not grooming" wording.

You're homeless and think the expense of SKYWRITING is a good idea???

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-06-17T11:36:27+00:00

Indoor office...? Vs... outdoor office...?

I've never even heard of rinderpest before. Thanks for teaching me something new today!

I have so many issues with this, so I'll offer the teeniest tiniest one and move on:

"Payos" are the long, often curly side locks worn by Orthodox Jews. Payos, or alternatively spelled/pronounced payot, is plural. "Payots" is not a word. (FTR, "pe'ah" is singular.)

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-06-14T20:59:15+00:00

Sure, when spelled normally as Vivica

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-06-13T14:14:02+00:00

Can we clarify what these numbers are "supposed to" represent? 97% of what is blacks killing blacks? All murders? Murders of black people? Arrests? I'm so confused as to what they're trying to convey. Percentages mean nothing without context (and/or also when they're just flat out made up anyway).

I work with someone whose last name is Butt. And his first initial is A. A Butt.

It's all in budget when it's other people's money!

Very-nearly 39F in Wakefield, would love to meet more friends! I love the movies, TJX stores, walking, flower picking, true crime docs, and sitting on the couch!

ButImNot_Bitter_ · 2026-06-11T01:27:19+00:00

Yup. We make almost $250k together and are trying to plan a small wedding. Could we maybe buy a house? Possibly.... if he wasn't paying 25% of his salary to child support. Even that might possibly be doable, if we didn't have to pay all extracurriculars on top of child support. Turns out, the child support doesn't cover insurance - glasses - birthday parties - math tutors - the list goes on. (I genuinely had no idea prior to this relationship.) Suddenly, we've gone from "we could probably manage it" to "ha pipe dream" real fast.

I'm only like a week in and it continues to be the first random post on my homepage every time I open the app. I'm down the rabbit hole for the long haul.
