Hai!

I used to do Mafia Wars and Farmville, but 2 weeks in Italy weaned me off of both, and now I shun them.

[QUOTE]We're in the super early stages of discussing it.  There'd be 7 of us involved, but we're still figuring out if we are all on the same page as far as our intentions with the property and what we want out of it.  It came up at my cousins' wedding a couple weeks ago.  I'm sure it will be a few months before anything is decided for sure one way or another.  We have a limit to how much we can/will invest in it, and that basically means, all 7 of us have to do it and even with 7 there's a price limit to how much we can offer for the house, or H and I will be out b/c it'd just put us in too hard a spot - cash flow wise to do it.

Especially with 7 people - if it's something you guys intend to keep in the family, I would recommend sitting down and figuring out together who will pass their ownership on to whom, when, etc. Just to help prevent future generations from squabbling over it. (I've seen some uncool fights between H's stepdad and his uncle.)

KJB - the FB gift cards are to play the stupid games (Farmville, fishbowl, mafia wars, whatever...)

DNB-I still think you should sleep with a container of wasp spray next to your bed so that the creepy knot/stalker can't rape you.

kjb- It might be the drug classifaction for Lyrica.. it's a pain med, right? Maybe the insurance company put some extra protective measures in place for those prescriptions. I would call the insurance company to find out.

<div>Yeah - right now I think we're all looking at it as family legacy.  And maybe renting it a few weeks a year to offset a little of the maintenance costs, but no one is looking at it as a money-maker, so that's a start.  But OMG if all 7 of us have 2 kids, in 30 years it could be owned by 14 people instead of 7.  What a pain.  So we need to establish "by-laws" and stuff with every scenario we can think of.</div>

You weren't on yesterday when I talked about it KJB.  I think its pretty awesome though.

Haha 1of if she can go through with finding where I live I'll welcome her into my house.

kellyjellybelly

It is, but it's not a controlled substance/narcotic or anything.  The funny thing is my insurance doesn't even cover prescriptions, so I don't get why they had to go through the insurance company...  I was annoyed so I didn't feel like figuring it out.

DNB-She might steal all of the cookies for the care packages though!

You guys actually might want to consult a lawyer (once you get that far). Someone who's done this kind of thing before. I'm sure there are guidelines or at least suggestions out there.

kellyjellybelly

That is hilarious.  I love random small-world things like that.  It turns out Fishy and I have a mutual, non-knot friend.  I thought that was funny.

And I'm kinda sad (and not in the way shoegal said), I really thought if you were going to have a knot stalker, it would be me.

Loopyseven

LOL.  A friend of mine posted on FB today that he made cookies using H's recipe.  I told him he wasn't allowed to use our recipe unless he brought some to my house for me to eat .

Beachy730

Haha those are already shipped!  I'm a little worried about his package getting there this time since I shipped him is iPod which was his Christmas gift, and you have to declare on the Customs forms what is in there so anyone who sees the box will know its an ipod.  Oh well I bought the insurance so if someone steals it I will buy a new one.  I think they might steal it for the cookies though.

How strange. Yeah, my only public displays of annoyed rage ever have only happened at the pharmacy. Sometimes I feel bad for the people who work there.

<div>I'm sure we will.  I'm sure we're not the first group of people to want to do this, so there's probably existing contracts we can look at to see how things were handled ahead of time.</div>

Beachy730

KJB you are my Knot stalker.  That girl is my real life one!  I feel bad saying stalker, its just a totally random coincidence and I think its so cool.  When she first said that she saw a WP there I was thinking that would be too cool if it was us, then it was.  I emailed H about it and he said I'm a dork.

kellyjellybelly

Yeah I was trying not to be difficult about it, especially since it's a PITA for them as well.  If it was something I really needed, I would have had them do it.  We'll see if the steroids work.

Loopyseven

If you're a dork, I want to be one too .

Beachy730

Haha aww thanks Loopy!

So... how bad is it of me that I flirted with the sales guy at Verizon today to get him to take care of my overage minutes?

Oh heavens, i reserve my public displays for the Telstra people (our 1/2 assed version of Comcast).  I even accused the guy of selling his soul to the devil since he worked for him and all.

How bad is Telstra?  we get charged in 30 sec increments, to the .001, and get charged to retrieve our messages AND H just got a VM that I left for him on the 17th!
I wonder how many jobs I've lost out on because Telstra just hasn't delivered my messages yet...

Loopyseven

AK - What is Dave Ramsey's system?  I am always interested in that stuff, but in order to learn what it is, you always have to buy their crap.. I mean books.

aMrs - that stinks.  Too bad I bet there's not another phone company in the boonies where you live.

I REALLY don't want to go to work tomorrow.  And my charge is going to flip when she sees my vacation requests for next year.  And then I will probably get fired if she tells me I can not have them.

Haha he was pretty hot too.  I told myself if I was to have a side-piece while H is gone, it would be him.  He gave me his business card too for if I have any problems since they had to reactivate H's phone then suspend it again.  And he gave me his schedule for when he works in a couple weeks when I'm available for my upgrade.

Loopyseven

He totally wants to be your side-piece .

akhensley81

Loopy- From a 30,000 foot overview, it's only ever using cash for everything. The theory is that if you don't have the money for it right now, you don't need it. It starts with setting yourself a weekly budget for all the things you normally buy (groceries, gas, etc. - including restaurants/entertainment, "blow" money). Let's say you figure you need $300 a week for all that. You take out the cash, and separate it in to envelopes. Then that's what you get.

Then it's setting up a spreadsheet (or Quicken or something) to track your accounts/bills/expenses outside of regular everyday spending. Including setting a monthly amount that you put in to savings at the end of every month. You track your savings dollars and separate that money (I use the spreadsheet for this too) for everything from Emergency Fund, vacations, clothes, gifts, and then things you want to save up for - like a new car or a house or whatever.

It's a lot of work. But it works. And there are a ton of resources to help.

Haha I know I haven't been married that long, but it does still feel good to get flirted with once in a while.  Makes me feel like I'm not as much of an old married hag as I think.
