It’s basically in between San Diego and Los Angeles. $2,500 is basically the average rent in that area. Plus while gas was $1.79 here it was $3.35 there. I really don’t want to move to the other side of the country, away from my family, and struggle to make ends meat.
Well, don't base anything on YOUR gas prices. I think you are in about the cheapest area in the country for gas. Comparing rent though....that's a different matter.
Yeah, we drill for it in the gulf and refine it in my town.
60K is a bit low. Gas is at a low right now so that $3.35 you see for 87 octane will go up in the spring by $0.50 or more easily. CA is taxed up the arse so figure you may have about $10k left to pay for utilities, car insurance, food and any bills you may have per year. $75K is probably a good rate for the area but the company may not be able to afford that. Hence the low offer. Go on to indeed.com and dice.com and search for jobs in that area. See what they are offering. That will help you gauge the offer best
Changed my avatar to reflect what my avatar looks like on Roblox the graphic was made by a friend. I don't play roblox anymore but still talk to friends and run a roleplay group. It was fun once, it isn't much anymore I tried to pick up lua. That didn't work out too great.
I did a lot in LUA thanks to an opened source version of an MMORPG I used to play called Tibia.
I got it wrong and ended up learning luau, instead. I'd have to say that it was a whole lot more fun.
Happy Friday guys!
Gonna go skiing this evening. I doubt it will be very good. It's been a bit too warm and sunny for the last few days, so it was mediocre and icy, last night. Still, the moon grows each night, and the snow may be good enough.
Snow! We are getting a few small rain storms this weekend and next week. The highlight of our season maybe lol. Gonna light up the wood burning fireplace tonight
I live in Modesto and my daughter told me a few days ago that No new houses in Modesto are allowed to have a regular fireplace, only things like pellet stoves. Haven't fact checked her, could be fake news.Quote:

This is true. New homes are no longer allowed to be built with wood burning fireplaces anymore. The green libertards say its polluting the air, pfft! their electric prius' do more pollution than all the fireplaces lol.Quote:

It's just plain pragmatic.Quote:

I have a wood stove, and when it gets really cold...I don't use it, because of the inversion. That's the only time it gets really cold here. At one point, the governor was advocating telecommuting. I'm a big fan of that. Commuting from upstairs to downstairs is just about the right distance, for me.
I went for diamonds...unfortunately, they used "chocolate" diamonds.Quote:

As to the smog....we should trade. We'll swap our winter air with yours. That way we'll both be able to acclimate to a constant level of smog.
We have a ski area up above Boise. Some years, when the inversion is particularly bad, you can leave 0 degree, overcast, weather in the valley, and drive up out of the clouds into warm, sunny, weather. It's kind of unfortunate for the ski area, as it can be single digits in the valley, yet the ski area is getting temperatures up into the 40s, so they're losing snow. On the other hand, I've seen people lining up along the road to take pictures of the sea of clouds. I've seen it so distinct that you could walk down into the cloud while your upper body was above the cloud. It can be kind of thick, for a cloud.
So far, this year has been pretty nice. From the ski area, it is possible to see that there is at least some inversion, as you can see a band of haze over the valley below, but it has mixed out every couple of days, and the temperatures have never been held down very much.
Happy Friday! Whats everyone doing for the weekend? Im doing inventory, 4th quarter sales taxes and prepping for IRS filing :(
Same here - tax time...
Same. Only I have 4 business accounts: checking, savings, credit card, and line of credit. I did well with keeping my QuickBooks up-to-date on all but the credit card and apparently my bank is struggling to pull the statements for my credit card (and I can only pull last month's).
I'm spending money!
I've been saving for a rainy day for years, in this here desert. The chance of rain this evening is 100%, and almost as high for the next two days.
FINALLY!!! I need to replace a water filter that I killed this last summer, and get a few new shirts, too.
Now lets not go too wild! You only need one new shirt and drinking from the water hose was fine when we were kids. No need for a fancy snowflake new water filter!! Veto!Quote:

Well that escalated quickly.
First visit was a PA. Nothing against PA's... Today I needed someone to listen to all my crazy symptoms... I feel dead right now
I had pneumonia when I was 13. I just remember sleeping a whole lot and just overall being super lethargic.
Yup now I know why I can't finish anything these past couple of weeks
Yeah, drinking from the hose was fine as a kid. In my case, though, the hose came from a well (a dug well, not one of those new fangled drilled wells). My hose water now comes from a ditch. It's hard to drink that water unless you keep your teeth closed to filter out the grit, algae, vermin, and occasional moose that comes through.Quote:

OR, I was breathing too much CO.
Well I just hope the refs got paid well after that NFC game.
Both of the teams I thought would be in the superbowl at the start of the playoffs, are now out.
This says it all:

Yeah, that was a pretty bad non-call. However, it shouldn't have mattered. The Saints just didn't play all that well.
It was bad calls on both sides. The refs were doing the bird box challenge lol
There are always bad calls. They cancel each other out during a game.
Yeah, don't let the refs determine the outcome of a game: Win by enough that it wouldn't matter.
I know that, just let me complain!
WA, WA, WA... , I think a wire is NC. I'm starting to sing, LA, LA, LA. OH, no... Look what they've done to my song, MA. I need to stop, this isn't ME. GA... MA, don't tell PA. One MO before I go, HI there.Quote:

Then you can dynamically update the "about" and "donate" sections, banner images, and events.
If you go to lplouisiana.org/contact and check out any subdomains it will generate either the dynamic content or a generic message in its place.
So, if you go to calcasieu.lplouisiana.org it has dynamic content, but if you go to orleans.lplouisiana.org since they haven't updated their website it just displays the generic message.
Happy Friday Guys!!
Weekend of paperwork, inventory and hopefully some yard work.
What about Wine, Women and song!!!Quote:

I only got through most of my inventory this weekend. Gad its about done though. This week I will finish it and need to do my 4th quarter sales tax filing.
My wife has surgery this morning. So send prayers/good vibes/juju this way.
Prayers on the way!
OOOOooooooommmmmmm!
Sympathetic vibrations (vibes) aren't always a good thing. So, perhaps good vibes would be non-sympathetic.
I've put the Beach Boys on loop:D
Sincerely, hope it all goes well, DD.
She just got out and is fine, but the doctor didn’t find anything. She’s had lady problems forever and chalked it up to endometriosis because her mom had it really bad. He went in and didn’t find any, so we don’t know what to do...
