$1.85 really now... wow $1.89 ... what in the world... but hey time to fill up lol... passed two gas stations on was $1.89... the next $1.85 ... think they are competing or something but hey it works for the customer :)

Our gas stations are in the $1.97-2.01 range. Filling up isn't so painful now. :)

Nice... in town they are all pretty close to the $2.08 mark. Went to a friend's today and was shocked...thought it was a typo, giggled with an "I wish" ... guess I rubbed a genie and did not know it lol :D
 
The only one I caught sight of (forgot to look further south when I went to the city) said 2.39- dropped 10 cents from last week.
 
Our trip went great but I am exhausted. Even with the severe back and neck pain I made it to the wedding and part way through the reception. I found a couch in the Planetarium and kicked back there with my ice pack. Lot's of people came to visit with me.

I was able to attend most of the outings and so glad I did because there were so many beautiful things to see.

On our trip home the plane was completely full once again. Thankfully United came through for us and moved us to the seats just behind first class. Way more leg room and I was actually able to lay down on the fold out table. So, my back and neck pain were tolerable. Daughter and boyfriend left the same day as us but they headed to New York for a few day.

I have visited Chicago numerous times. This time we stayed downtown and saw so many beautiful buildings, the river, plenty of wonderful restaurants and the most amazing landscaping everywhere. We lucked out because the weather was beautiful, a little cool at night. Everything turned out perfect. I was sad to leave but happy to be home with my little dog.
 
Wishing someone would wave a magic wand and find my next home for me. Apartment shopping is not fun. I've started contacting different complexes and will probably go visit a few this weekend,

Can't help but wonder why you are looking to move? I thought you had been settled in a house for a quite a number of years.

Plus don't want to take care of the yard anymore. Since my daughter moved out recently I'm ready to move.

Are you looking for something specific? Like one that has a pool or something?

You could hire a real estate agent who also deals with rentals. I think most of the rentals pay the agent fee, not you (but get that clarified and in writing, first.) Just an idea.

Good luck with your search, I'm sure you'll find something nice. I agree, a lot of looking and frustration til you get there.
 
Feel your frustration, LoveBlue...my own Lease is up Dec. 1st....love my apartment...but they've raised our rents $70.00!!!..I'm livid....Have been looking and reading reviews....cheaper apts. have a high crime ratio....(in my City)....So if you are 55 or over, try looking into Senior Citizen Apts./Homes...I've found some very nice ones so far....Hoping to find one where I can have my flower garden (no luck so far)....and on the bottom floor as most are high-rise....With my doggie, going back and forth via the elevators is too much....Good Luck!

Agree with AC here- I worked with somebody in AZ to help me look for an apartment on REALLY short notice as I had moved there and was about to start a new job or actually HAD started a new job - was living in one of those 'corporate hotels' or similar. So figured best to have somebody help look for something available right away lol.
 
My only hurry is to be in a new place by mid-Nov when this job could be ending (though it could get extended).
I'm doing the research online & will visit a few places this weekend.
Like RR said, the lower cost ones are generally the undesirable ones.
I should be able to save a few hundred $'s regardless, but would like to maximize my savings to start building up a nest egg in case I become unemployed again.
 
Thinking about the reverse 911 call I got earlier today on my home phone. Couldn't understand most of it but it seems they are looking someone in my area and are telling us to be vigilant.
 
LoveBlue as I just watched a PBS show from 2 to 3 pm about rail travel that happened to be in Switzerland for this eposode (sp). The title of the program is Real Rail Adventures.
 
Marley my little dog is taking awhile to feel like herself after being board at the vet for a week. The ladies at the vet said Marley was the only dog there so they held her most of the time which makes me feel better.
 
I just got a new laptop. It is slow right now. I hope it is just a set up update that is making it slow.

That's sweet, Angel. She probably got lots more love than you know! Some just can't resist :)

I stopped in at our local humane society, which is right on my way home, about a week ago. Got to hold the sweetest one month old grey kitten for a little while. I want to volunteer there. (But then I worry about how many I'd bring home and get banned from the house LOL just kidding)
