		<description><![CDATA[I've been stressing for what seems like forever over where to move this fall.

Buy a new manufactured home with land that is probably in the middle of nowhere (otherwise known as "The Country") or buy an old house with trees &#038; squirrels and assorted old house problems in an established neighborhood (I don't have enough money in the bank for a down payment on a brand new subdivision house at this time plus most of the ones I could afford to buy are a LONG way out from where I work or from being close to my daughter &#038; grandson too)

OR

I could rent an apartment, a duplex or an old house.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am going to be moving - my daughter is selling the house - the people are friends of theirs so we know in advance when they want to move in - their lease is up the end of October so they want to move in during October. Me being the type not to wait until the last minute ... I started packing weeks ago.  I have a huge box of clothes packed - mostly winter stuff and things I won't be wearing for quite awhile.  I have a lot of things packed and in the hall closet too - odds &#038; ends of this n that - stuff that is not used much and won't be missed much while packed away waiting to be moved ... hmmm ... if I do not need it for 2 to 4 months ... maybe I should throw it out already?  Actually no ... I do use it all (some is knick knacks and assorted busines papers I need to keep but do not need them handy much so I do need to keep it all - I can just live without it until I get moved.  I haven't packed the books off the bookshelves yet - I need to go get book boxes so I will not have large heavy boxes of books.

Here are thirteen things at my house I do not pack until]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm not much into politics - to me, politicians are ... criminals ... to be kind ... and to be un-kind ... nastier than Texas Tree Roaches and just as prolific with lying, dirty dealing and robbing the tax-payers.

Guess you can tell I do not like politicians much huh?  :) ... You're right - I like Texas Tree Roaches better than politicians ... and I DETEST Texas Tree Roaches!

I do not think my neighborhood is well-grounded and I just have not went and got a good heavy duty surge protector for my computer ... and even if I did, I have Road Runner and those kind so I could still be hooked up to the Net are EXPENSIVE last time I checked - DSL or phone ones are cheap ... but not cable ones.

		<description><![CDATA[This last week has been exciting!  I started a new job this last Monday as a Tech Writer.  My new boss is a very nice man - he is also VERY knowledgeable and intelligent.  A great combination in a boss.  Everyone I've met there is very nice too which makes it a great work environment.
