I’m just now reading the thread today. The baby’s been sick.
Yeah, you’re right.
Thinking further about this, I’ve moved away from the New York option. However, though I’m willing to have him move in with us in THEORY (by which I mean the wife & I would have to find a bigger apartment so he could have his own bedroom rather than displacing anyone), I absolutely refuse to countenance us moving in with HIM. I know him to well to think that’d work, and I resent the implication that our choice to live in an apartment (made because we both prefer living it to a house) is somehow inferior to the decision by the other Memphis residents to buy houses (especially since the sister who thinks houses are such a great investment has difficulty paying her mortgage).
**Dendarii **, funny that you mention appliance repair. The oven on the stove in question stopped working in November, and Dad resisted calling a repairman–not because he can’t afford it, but because he was sure he could handle it himself and/or fix it by praying over it. One of my sisters and I ended up calling Sears to handle the repair.
