I love Kirkland wine! And you don't even need a membership to buy it.

So is Costco comparable to Sams? I think the STL area has 1 Costco...but there are numerous Sams there as well as in Springfield, Mo which is only 2 hours away...so a little closer than STL. I’ve done Sams a lot and like it...but now wondering if I’m missing out by not checking out the Costco. Costco is superior, but Sam's for carry a lot of the same name brand things, so if that's what is convenient, it's close enough. I go to Sam's when at my mom's, but Costco at home.

Hi hi. We did frozen on ice, we had super high seats, but it was good. Nora got a little busy, but pulled through. I warned j that we should not be buying souvenirs and when we left he was pretty mad we didn't get one, as one does. Then we ate lunch at McDonald's bc every place was packed along with several other families with tired kids, and then go a long car nap. Now it's snowing and making dinner in the instapot and staying in bc it started snowing.

I love Costco and it's close but I also need a BJ's membership because they carry some stuff that Costco doesn't and they let you combine their coupons with manufacturers coupons. Plus, DH likes to say he's a member of BJ's.

chrisy01 Love the Alienist! Dakota Fanning's character is great. Costco FTW. I love all their organic, the Mateo's salsa, baked goods, all of it! We are on the road for an impromptu overnight in the city....aaaaand it's snowing. The delay may cause issues since we are already pushing dinner time. Pray for me.

H still hasn't apologized, but we still went to the cat preserve. We went at the perfect time, we got a quick tour, which we have seen before, then got to see the feeding. It was so cool to hear all the tigers talking and eating.

We went to Hibachi. C fell asleep on the way and is still sleeping almost 3 hours later but he needed it.. It started to snow on the way home so I'm glad we went because we will probably be stuck home tomorrow.

The house that I like (one of the colonials) has been on the market for two plus years. We were going to see it Monday, but they got a verbal offer today (and should do a real offer tomorrow once the wife sees it) so we hightailed it to ct and saw it and put an offer in. I'm a GIANT stress ball. I thought for sure we could get this one and now I just don't know what will happen.

I updated tapa and it keeps removing the boards I'm subscribed to. It's really annoying. I just switched to using tapa again, because the mobile version keeps redirecting me to weird ‘you won’ site, and I’m having the same issue. It won’t keep our board as subscribed and it’s so annoying.

Any clue why it's been on the market so long?

Got L asleep at 7 and C asleep by 7:45. Ahhh peace and quiet. I talked to MH and he said over and over, "Thank you soooo much for letting me go away this weekend, I really appreciate it". All the people he's with probably think I never let him do anything and bitched about this trip or something now!

I'm hiding in my room because I need a break from Dude. He's a hellbeast today. Exact same. I literally just walked out of the bathroom saying ‘mommy needs a break. I’m getting daddy’. He was actually great all day today then right at bedtime the whining started. I hate whining. Hate.

Any clue why it's been on the market so long? Our real estate agent said they priced it too high at the start and when they began lowering they did it too incrementally so I guess no one eas biting. July was when they dropped it to this current price. I bypassed it for months on Zillow (I didn't like first picture) and just a few weeks ago decided to look at it seriously. ETA: It also seems like it's a very small very specific town. They don't have a lot of real estate sales (according to the agent and the comps she sent me) seems like people buy there and tend to stay. The couple who built the house was there for the showing today, and they been there for 40 years. She was actually the town's preschool teacher!

Where in the middle of a snowstorm, and because we've been consumed with this house stuff, I never made it to the grocery store today. I've never seen our fridge look so slim on the pickins

Hi for the first time today. It’s been a busy Saturday and I’ve been trying to get through the thread all day!
Cleaning ladies came this morning, so I took M out for breakfast, then to the park. After they were done, I went down the street to a friends for a little visit, then Home to clean out my flower beds. After we were done and all showered, we went out for an early dinner and just getting home. I’m pooped.
I still have laundry to fold. I’m sure this will take me the next hour to do.

Wow, guster! What a turn of events. First another full cash offer on your house, now an offer on one of your final picks! I hope everything works out in your favor. I know you narrowed it down to two houses. Do you like this one more than the other?
