Put everything away. Clear the food, drinks. If it’s night yawn repeatedly “well, got an early morning need to turn in.” If it’s daytime you have another thing planned. “Gotta get the car serviced.”

That’s gotta be an Altima?

Nice! My carrots were wimpy. It hasn’t been a good year for produce. My strawberries had one good bounty then, retired themselves. Had dreams of pies and got a topper for a bowl of cereal.

I feel like it's thanksgiving and everyone wants the crazy uncle to stop making speeches and just eat his ham and Mac n cheese

this will get all kinds of messed up. I had one of these years ago. It used to be you had to take a home ownership course. Had to earn under X amount and not have owned a home in the prior 9 years. You had I think 10 months to find house.

NOW you have to be of a specific demographic, the sum us larger. and yay need ti already be in close on the house. Which is nuts because if you are already in closing there's a huge chance when you go to apply the funds are gone. Can't afford the house. Before, the grants were limited/. But you knew before CLOSE that they were out of grands for the year.

where? what did I miss? Now I'm invested and damn curious.

its funny, I assumed OP is a dude. Do we have any clarification?

you on a conservatorship or house arrest or something?
