And thanks, G01, hypatia, cyclovenum, radou and Ivan. I plan to utilize the fitness center. My excuse has always been having to drive somewhere and wait for the machine I want, now I have no excuse.

I hope you have checked this new place out for possible subsidence, earthquakes, tsunami, volcanic activity, hurricanes, tornadoes, deathwatch beetle, alien invasion.

I have various dried beans, angel hair pasta, chicken breasts, rice, alfredo sauce, rotel tomatoes (canned diced tomatoes with green chiles), spaghetti sauce, olives, potatoes and pickles. :redface:

Yes! Everyone is invited. :approve:

I'm wondering how Dr Foofer will adjust? He's used to going outside and romaing with the longhorns. I don't know how well he will hndle cptivity.

OH NO! I just remembered that Ricco (aka The Fruit Bat) likes to drill holes in Dr Foofer's head. Can someone build me a little metal helmet to strap onto Dr Foofer's head?

It seems like you will be eating out, or you could bung all the above into a
blender and hope.

Ricco must have been learning from the ancients, Dr Foofer might benifit
with a hole in the head.

Thinly slice the chicken breasts, and saute with onions and minced garlic (you DO have onions and garlic, don't you?), combine with Rotel tomatoes, herbs, and spices to taste and serve over the angel-hair pasta with some shredded cheese.

That new house looks nice. The house your in right now seems huge for one person. Isnt it a 4 bedroom single family home?

It seems much smaller. For some reason, I don't care for big houses anymore. It seems like everyone has a big single famly home that was built by some typical developer and they all have that same basic look. Either its brick or stucco.

For me, I wouldn't mind having a 100 year old appartment or row house down in DC.

There is a resturant called clydes that is all wood inside and is like an old 1900's style. Its all wood with lots of great posters and stain glass ceilings.

I want to pad like that, where its small, but full of great stuff. And I want an old 70-80's radio that has a pair of old quality speakers so I can listen to music and read books behind a big mahogany desk when I want quiet time. :!)

Yes, 4 bedroom, three bathrooms, formal and informal living and dining rooms, etc... and it's a single family home, great when you have two kids, three bedrooms and a playroom/computer room, now it's all just collecting dust.

I'm jealous. I thought about moving out of my place, because I want so badly to live somewhere with air conditioning. I looked at a couple of tiny studios here (West Los Angeles), but the rents start at $1250/month. I've been in my place for almost ten years under rent control so I might as well stay put.

I recently put an air conditioner in my bedroom window, but my landlord came by and served me a notice saying to take it out or quit the apartment. I should have looked at my lease. There's a clause in it that says I can't use an air conditioner unless the owner supplies it. Still sucks, though.:frown:

Which is why I live in Kansas.

That's ridiculous! So, is he giving you an air conditioner? I'll come over and get heat stroke and then we'll sue him for every penney he's got. :devil:

I really want to get out of L.A. after I finish school. My landlord won't give me an A/C. He wants me to be as miserable as possible so I will move. Once I'm out, he'll double the rent for this place.

I want to come swim in your lagoon! That is so neat-o. Is it for swimming or just for looking at?
