I hear ya DSkip. She's a very good friend, so I don't want to burst her bubble with "stick to CDs." I figured I'd help her to the rabbit hole entrance, and she can decide how far down she'd like to...

So a friend of mine is interested in picking up a cheap turntable/ speaker combo, as she'd like to get into vinyl. Not in line with what you guys usually buy I don't think, but she was looking at...

Home inspection went fairly well overall. No termites, and the hot water heater turned out to be brand new. Windows and sliding glass doors are Pella (never heard of them, but apparently it's a...

And you're welcome to come cut my grass anytime you're in VA :)

Good to know on the horrible taste Steve. I'm wanting to stock up a bit once I get into the new place, but don't want to end up with 3 months of stuff I'll never eat.

The best advice a friend...

There it is brother. That's what works for me as well. One tiny piece at a time. I actually did the Whole Foods thing, and threw away probably $100 worth of "earthy" food that, in retrospect, I'm...

Good for you Dan. I like your attitude, and I like your realistic approach even more. You're not trying to hit the gym 6 days a week or anything else unrealistic. The walk after dinner can be a...

My God Totem makes a beautiful speaker...........so tempting for the pending "other family room".

Umm, wow. I'm not very "spiritual" as it were, but I have my limits. And that would be well past them. Sooo, there's a funny question for me to throw out during the inspection process anyway. ...

The paperwork is flying around like crazy. I need everything except finger prints and a blood sample.....oh my. Everything is moving along smoothly though, so I can't complain. Home inspection...

1974. Grey hair already, but still on top of my game :)

A zune!?! Kidding. Not only do I like them, but a buddy of mine was in one of their commercials back when. GLWTS.

I think this is very telling:

Answers such as “I can’t hear any changes” need not apply as it doesn’t proof anything either other than that your ears may not be sensitive enough to pick up the...

Hahaha, holy crap! I didn't see anything that looked outright dangerous, but I suppose that's what the home inspection is for. ANd the paint sounds............interesting. There's a border in the...

Funny, everyone loves the dog :)

The dog actually came up and sniffed me and let me pet him when I was seeing the place, which surprised the owners as he was apparently a bit shy. The...

Different house, same style and same neighborhood. The list price here was at my lowest offer price on that other house, so I think I did well price wise. This was an estate sale, so I think they...

Thanks gents! I'm very excited/happy (and also nervous...) And yes, the 2 family rooms opens up a world of possibilities in regards to having a dedicated HT room. Neither are perfect in regards to...

Well, after living here for what feels like forever, I finally decided to take the plunge and buy a house. I'm officially under contract as of now, with the inspection scheduled for next Saturday,...

Absolutely nothing. I am however about to take a boatload of clothes, old PC cables and parts, and other random junk to Goodwill, so if you're in VA and interested in a buncha crap, let me know.

Oh my. Those cans are gorgeous, and that seems like a more than fair price. Nice buy Nspindel!

Been loving this as well John.

Yea, it was a different attitude back when. I remember my parents never, ever smoked, and still kept ashtrays in the living room in case we had guests over who did. I also remember smoking on...

MLB13 continues to eat up all of my spare time. Road to the show mode is beyond addictive....

I remember when lawn darts were considered safe fun for the whole family.

Edit: Looks like I was beat to the punch.....multiple times. Still......

I also remember my first year of college,...

Enjoying the new Daft Punk right now. Dig right in if you're a fan of DP; good stuff.
