Also, congrats Lars.
I made it that far, and NO FURTHER!
Still kinda diggin' bachelor life at 40. Not sure I want to chase that particular dragon any longer..
In other news, why the **** do realtors use terms like FROG in listings? Some of us are city-slickers who have no clue what that rural slang means. Can you just expend the extra 21 bytes and save me several minutes of Googling? (Well, Duck-Ducking to be precise, but that sounds silly.)

I'm no city dweller, but I have no idea what that means.
Edit:
I looked it up, and apparently it means "family room over garage".
I don't know why that is desirable or why it is worth confusing clients for .5 seconds of saved typing time.

Finished Room Over Garage.
It's like an attic, but smaller and with a proper stairway instead of a pull-down ladder. Took me a while to figure that out.

There sure are a lot of fat people in North Carolina.
And I'm not talking about "Wow, that person sure is fat," I mean full-on "How are the bones in her legs even physically capable of supporting that load? Civil engineers could learn exciting new bridge-design techniques from studying her tibias."

Lowes has a socket set on sale, dirt cheap. Kobalt, which I have found is pretty decent quality.

For 15 bucks, you can have a set for the camper, back of the truck, etc. Hell, for that price, you can get a couple and give them as gifts.

It's the law.

I think SC is worse. But really, we are seeing it everywhere. Even Colorado, the most fit state in the union does not necessarily have fit people, just relatively fit.
As you can see here: fattest-states , the scores go from 41 (best) to 64 (worst), not even a 2:1 ratio.
And, yes, SC ranks worse than NC.

Spent the whole day looking at houses.
I was seriously tempted to get this one:
But in the end, I decided on this one instead:
Huge pantry, so very much countertop space, nice gas range... The rest of it is equally well-appointed. Garage isn't as large as the other, but it's perfectly serviceable.
Huge yard. Definitely gonna need that second battery.
Signing the papers tomorrow.
