that would be 100% increase in my rent. no can do. |
my sister is doing the house thing too. at first it was just stressful, but she got a realtor and it's turning fun. i keep thinking about how much 'adult' stuff her husband will have done by the time he's my age. i hope he doesn't freak out. |
but then again you're in boston, so to you, it probably is low. my rent is $877. If they had their way (i.e. lack of rent control) id probably be paying about $1400. We moved into this place just ahead of the Silverlake hipster rush/gentrification. and i meant to say above..."we always ADMIRED it" not admit. |
but my friend in boston- in a not-at-all-hip town in commuting distance of boston- pays 1200 for two rooms, a kitchen and a bathroom |

Somebody pass me a bottle. Congradulations on buying your first house Dougie. One suggestion. If your as good at home repair and maintanence as I am, hire a pro. |

No, not married yet, J. Probably in the fall. |

getting more nervous about that, as I start to make more money and I get more tired of paying rent. |

My cousin is paying $550 a month for a 1 bdr. apartment in Gardena. It has mice and it is itty bitty and the landlord is an ass. I always liked LA |
flanked by compton and inglewood????? thanks for the offer but you couldn't pay me to live in Gardena. actually practically speaking it would be insane for us to live there, as I work in downtown hollywood, she works in downtown LA....so silverlake is ideal. |
Llamas, of course. Also, when I go away, work pays for food and lodging. |
Most of my family has chose ghetto areas. Gardena, Hawthorne (two blocks away from the airport in an illegally converted garage), Lakewood, and Long Beach. Those are most of the places I have been to recently. Of course, my uncle has a beach house in Torrance, one block from the beach. He likes to pretend to be uppity. |
i spent a merry week at the torrance hilton. i didn't step foot out of the building until i got in the cab back to the airport. |
i'm telling you, you could net babes in olympia. and buy a house, if that's what you wanted. |

THey only post the minimum requirements, not waht it actually takes to get the job. Anyone with NW coast experience will automatically get selected over someone withot that experience. That's how it works. |
|
its too suburban with no culture, just strip malls and confused people in minivans and SUVs. |
I honestly had no clue where you were in the L.A. area, so I just thought I would offer an idea. |
Whats worth while about LA is in LA proper and 2 hours away at the same time. |
I do agree about the developments from the 40's to the 80's. Saw a lot of it. That is part of why my parents moved to the country. They got tired of seeing the same thing over and over again. I guess to them even hick culture was better than no culture. |
Santa Barbara and the best beaches 2 hours Joshua Tree and LSD desert around 3 hours |
Driving, anyway. I guess if you did the whole drive to SFO and fly thing it would be about five hours away. Anyway. I have to admit, being from northern california, that I fear most of southern california. Not that we don't have confused people driving suvs or anything...they've started infiltrating even up here. But there, it's hot *and* there are confused people driving suvs. Anyway. |
that job has been posted for about six months, it can't hurt to try, sem. |
|
The state archaeologist job would mean no fieldwork, just oversight of projects and dealing with laws and tragedy and crap. At least I still get to DIG. Plus, see tale of sem and dating service II. |
|
Yay you. Look forward to seeing the pics. |
