  1. Sadly, yes. I never go first thing, first day. I am sorry that you had to experience such rudeness. What is wrong with people? And, from my own knowledge, those people are resellers and are there to make a profit.
  2. I think most downtown areas would work for this, espeically if you rely on grocery delivery. You can also select your doctor's etc.. that are nearby. Not sure why you would need to go the DMV as the poster suggested, but government type things could be harder to get to.
  3. Are you going to museums or hiking or wandering cobblestone streets? Museum days bring the stroller but not on days spent wandering on cobblestone.
  4. Take her in and get her some fluids. Poor thing.
  5. I also had a typewriter and the libray. My boyfriend's (now dh) roommate was super rich and had a laptop. He was so nice and let me borrow it for a huge paper I had to write. I was able to 'check it out' and use it from 7 - 9 am.
  6. Also agreeing that you need to go to hospital. Go to the closer one since your doctor can see you there; they can always transfer you. Hope you get some answers.
  7. I had to walk to school twice a day in the snow! We went home for lunch, which was great. My kids walked downstairs.
  8. My dog is deaf so I guess the noise of the vacuum thing is not a problem. She has less anxiety with me doing it than going somewhere. We can take breaks and she can be in her bed and home.
  9. I groom my mini poodle. She has black fur, and it is hard. If I do a bad job, she wears a sweater for a week. I just bought the machine that comes with the attached vacuum on Prime Day. And wow! That has made it so much easier and cleaner for me.
  10. I don't have a designated dining room. We just have a large area for the table. I have a very narrow space so finding something to fit there was hard. I had some closet organizers leftover from the old house and they were the right width. I put a shelf on top of them and covered it with a drop cloth that I washed a few times to make it soft. The closet organizers have shelves that fit most of my extra plates. There is space between the shelves where I have a basket to put in table linens. It is not perfect put it cost zero and has served us well for four years now.
  11. If I were you, stick to the National Mall - the museums are free, so if they don't like it - move on. I also love the Library of Congress and the Ford's Theater.
  12. voice of dissent here... we never got an invitation to my nephew's wedding. We are invited. We are close and have no drama - inviations do get lost in the mail. Look to see if the couple is registered on The Knot. Lots of folks are putting the RSVP there; your kids who got invitations can see if you are on the invite list. (how we knew were invited without getting an invite in the mail) But don't go if you don't want to.
  13. thanks - I had to giggle at some of the titles, but you can't judge a book that way
  14. we were both 23 when we put the contract on it and 24 when we moved in. DH graduated with his masters and got a job and three weeks later we put a contract on a house. We contined to live off my salary and put every bit of his in savings to afford the down payment. My dd and her finance bought a house at 22 - it was a house of his grandfather's friend and need so much work. They spend 5 months fixing it up - living at home before they moved in. They sold it in 10 months, made a nice profit and bought a home much closer and much nicer.
  15. Georgia offers merit based college scholarships. We have four seasons without the snow. If you move closer to Atlanta, you will find a political climate you would like - Smyrna, Vinings, Sandy Springs. Lots of homeschooling options, students are supposedly allowed to play sports in public schools (I don't know how hard this is). Lots of rec league sports are available - someone has even been advertising a kayak fishing team. Housing prices are reasonable, but the closer in you go, the more it will cost. Mableton is still very affordable compared to Vinings, for example.
