Got a big, legal paper sized manila envelope in the mail from the City and County of Honolulu, opening it with baited breath, hoping it had good news on the results of my fingerprints and it was manila sized with a packet of follow on instructions for the next step......
Nope, slightly confused, pulling out another blank fingerprints card, the letter inside politely informed me that the police department I did mine at forgot to fill out a section of paperwork when I did it originally so I get to basically redo my fingerprints -_-

Because renting blows. The freedom of homeowner is quite rewarding in, and of itself.

Hah! Renting is awesome when you can move wherever, don't have to worry about $10K foundation repairs or silly insurances or new roofs, and generally don't have to give a burrito.

I don't plan on moving anywhere anytime soon. Rather put my money into a property that's going to make me money in the long run.

Plus we're building a new house so with that comes warranties and all that fun stuff.

New doughnut shops opening up? [emoji13]

I'm looking forward to it, just a very daunting task. The 250k of debt is a little scary...but it'll be worth it.

yea keep an eye out its called "NYS donuts" rule#1 is for all customers to make it look like they aren't doing their job but actually just need a cawfee. *I know your kidding, this is more here to prevent other from attempting to shred me*. But I seriously don't know whats good with all the offers. I'm with an 8year mortgage atm, under 6 digits(obviously). In middle of nowhere NYS my Uncle just built a 6 bedroom 4 bath on his apple farm for under 200k(land not factored in) But he's got something like 900 acres of land

This reminded me...it's kinda crazy to think it, but NYS is sitting on tons of shale:

The thing that really really helped me was 1. swallowing my pride and living with my folks whenever possible, and 2. Having virtually 0 student debt.
Found a really nice 2900 sq ft 3 bed 2 bath for super cheap <185,000. In the nicest part of the city(right on the outskirts.)

Saw that and thought perhaps someone was reading their Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy and leaned against a little switch, inadvertently starting up the Improbability Drive on their ship... resulting in an Australian ambulance crew suddenly being transported to this very spot... unfortunately without remaining "wheels down" in the process.

Moral of the story, don't try to beat the full sized pickup truck in your two door hatchback when turning left out of a parking lot across traffic.

Do you want to get intubated? That's how you get intubated.

Wow, news is showing major crash with tanker truck on fire shutting down the 5 freeway in both directions at Colorado Blvd, news showing multiple Glendale and LA City FD units on scene...wondering how many of those blue helmet AOs I know...

Texas state government class is done, just one summer semester left until Bachelor's #2 is done, then on to master's degrees. I want a seat at the grown up table.
