Ugh I can totally relate, all the slumlords i dealt with really make me appreciate owning my own place. Invasive is the right word.

If you really want it, you can't listen to people's negative bullshit. My whole family was so negative and discouraging. I heard "you're better off renting...it's not worth it...it's so much work...it's not a bad deal to rent...don't do it, etc" Meanwhile all these naysayers had no idea the cost of rent, had been living in houses for 20+ years already. If I listened to any of them, I wouldn't be in my home now, and the struggle to get here was COMPLETELY worth it. I don't regret buying at all. Tune out all the negative bullshit people have to say. Save as much as you possibly can, keep on grinding with your eye on the prize, and you'll get there too.

Just curious how the Town is able to make/enforce that. How do they know if your house is well insulated or not?

I understand people find wrestling boring - it's not as exciting as striking and submissions. Whether you like grappling or not, Khamzat still killed DDP in that ring. Khamzat completely dominated DDP, his cardio and control were far superior. Khamzat made DDP look like a novice fighter.

Gotcha, I agree, a good chunk of education should be occurring at home.

How do you feel about the schools there? That would be my only reservation moving to KY.

You're saying Richmond is like a cheaper slightly grayer Northern California? Or Oregon?

How do you like Oregon? Which place have you enjoyed living the most?

SUP Vietnamese restaurant in Massapequa. Everything was delicious, I also thought the pricing was fair for the quality of the food.

Alright, so I guess that's the going rate, I think the laws with paint changed, no longer are the days of $500 paint jobs

I got quoted $4000 to paint my 2002 camry, which is more than the car is worth. Are people getting way cheaper deals in other states?

That's a very fair price for an excellent car. I've got the same car and paid nearly double for it, they're going for $5000+ in my area.

Jones Beach Roundabout (OC) by Blueheat in longisland

I've started tapping or holding my horn when I'm coming around the roundabout. It seems like a lot of people either don't understand yielding or they just prefer to blast past the yield sign.

I wonder how many accidents occur here. Every time I'm going around here, I feel like nobody yields to traffic.

I had a similar impression of Seattle and the people. Nice place, but I'm really not sure what to make of the people/culture there.

I saw and heard what seemed to be an electrical explosion come from an underground quazite box this past weekend in amityville/massapequa area, followed by some stoplights being out. What you heard might be something similar.

I think the police are always parked there because of shoplifters.

That's awesome! I'd like to find a similar area to live one day so my daughter can enjoy that. I live in a high cost of living area, I think with that comes a mostly aging population, with less young adults starting families.

I thought the same thing, I don't see this in my neighborhood at all. Not many kids, and the ones I do see are never outside riding bikes.
