I asked him and he said he doesn’t want to deal with renters or if something happens, we wouldn’t be able to evict them, and even something like air b n b we’d still have to screen them and also clean the place, etc. which I had forgotten about hahah and he says he doesn’t have time for so yeah.
And even hiring someone, he’s still liable plus then that cuts into our money hahah
I guess you have to be direct. Tell him he is OLD and needs to take care of himself or you'll end up putting him in a nasty home after a bitI keep telling him he isn't as young as he used to be, he loves that
In this case sharing IS caring. Unlike when people share their horrendous weather.
Same here. We got some cheap 6' bookcases when DW's aunt moved to assisted living a few months ago. She STILL has a bunch of boxes full. Prior house had 7' tall bookcases along the stairs. Already had a bunch of lower stand alone bookcases full.
I have NO idea where we are supposed to put the FULL SET of National Geos that are in MIL's basement when she heads to assisted living whenever that is. She's still fine at 88 but then so was FIL until last summer. Now he has Parkinson's and can barely get from chair to wheelchair in assisted living. He is 96.
Don't tell DH and the kids!!!!
WAY too many people getting sick from Delta. So unnecessary and likely to force more mandates to keep it from spreading. People will get POed over that but their reluctance to get vaccinated will be the cause.
Moving IS VERY STRESSFUL! Keep centering yourself. Om, om, om
No way I would do an air b&b. You can get insurance to cover any problems on a rental and if you have a management company they have to deal with problem tenants. I'm sure they have insurance as well.
Of course there is the issue of taxes. He doesn't want to sell grandma's house since it isn't a primary residence. Unlike really rich people who manage to pay almost no taxes he'd pay big on that sale. He can sell the current house with no federal tax bite since it has been his primary for at least 3 of the last 5 years. If he DOES move into Grandma's house and keep the current house, sell it in 2 years. If he's going to sell Grandma's house, move into it for 3 years first.
Yes I DO know about that! We sold our old house after renting it out for a few years. Sent a huge amount of money to Uncle Sam and the state.
Good morning everyone! Trying to get use to waking up earlier 
"it's the reason people think your married to a younger woman" 
that's hilarious!
kids are funny.
Very interesting! I'm going to save that information and pass it along.Back in my nursing days, I did the edu for some of the local prisons on heat strokes. I don't know how they keep inmates alive in those prisons with no air-conditioning and those tiny windows. Or the guards, for that matter. I guess people adapt.
The best thing to do when someone overheats to the point of feeling faint is to hydrate, and to pack cool, wet towels under their arms and around their neck.
If they are experiencing nausea and cramps and have a fever, then they need immediate medical treatment.
The Gatorade helps because of the added sodium and potassium. They have dehydrated and lost potassium (and other minerals) from their cells. They become nauseous and have stomach cramps, as well as a headache. The muscles need that potassium in order to work, so the next thing to happen would be severe muscle cramps. That's when it becomes very dangerous, because your heart is a muscle too. Heat stroke is nothing to take lightly. Once you hit the naseous stage it advances quickly.
Haha...sorry for the preachy tone, I just want everyone to stay safe. I had a "heat event" several years ago and had to make a few life changes. This was after I began doing the edu speeches. I knew better.
My husband won't stay out of the heat either. He stopped wearing his sunscreen too...says it gets in his eyes when he sweats. I told him to "use the sunscreen, you need it. It's the reason people think your married to a younger woman."
"it's the reason people think your married to a younger woman" that's hilarious!They like when I read. Trying to get them to read independently is another story, and they're actually good readers! I struggled reading until high school so, I really pushed them this passed year, and I am proud of their skills. But... with my younger two, you'll hear lots of "this is so hard", "I forgot how to read", "this is boring", or my favorite from the youngest.."this overwhelms me, i might pass out"
kids are funny.Yum!!! They look cute
Ugh, I hate being left out of the loop. DH use to be so stressed trying to "figure it out" that he didnt tell me anything until the last minute. Drove me nuts but he's improved so I cant complain anymoreI had thought though that we were going to rent it out for a bit but idk what happened to that plan. He never really talks to me about stuff. Talks to my brother tons. And/or thinks he told me stuff that he didn’t haha I’m kinda outta the loop but I don’t really want to be in anyway
Good luck! Hope all goes smoothly with no issues
It's a pain just to rent out and not every tenant treats the homes as you would (or should). I've helped clean out a rental for a friend of mine. It was in such bad shape, it's hard to imagine how people live. sometimes that alone can cost a fortune especially if they break something

Good Moo-rning Mad
Love that comment about being overwhelmed and maybe passing out
Hope you have a terrific day!
I never would have thought of that! That’s good to know!! ThanksI guess you have to be direct. Tell him he is OLD and needs to take care of himself or you'll end up putting him in a nasty home after a bit

Thanks!! And yeah, I’ve heard horror stories from a friend of mine and it makes you wonder about some people hahah
And I hate being left out of the loop too and do get annoyed but now I’m like I have enough to worry about lol
Good morning Mark, have a great day Good morning Kelsey, have a great day... I won't tell you my renter horror story, just know it was crazy and I ended up selling the house at auction.I guess you have to be direct. Tell him he is OLD and needs to take care of himself or you'll end up putting him in a nasty home after a bit
