@Wildfire: Wow that's a lot of changes. My mom's name is from Ireland so I don't think that one was changed either.
Was the British person immgrated in the 1900's or later? That could be why too. I feel like they started caring more with new tech.

@Totalanimefan: I'm not sure when they came over... all this family I'm referencing came at about the same time... early 20th century I think.

@Wildfire: Ah I see. My mom's side of the family all came over during the Great Potato famine.
My Dad's side is of German heritage and some of them came over in 1800's, but some where here in the 1700's.

@Totalanimefan: I've been busy with Christmas plans these last 2 weeks. lol, My family chose my place for that holiday. Lots of boxes are showing up with gifts and wrapping stuff. :3 I'm enjoying the hype.
We also got a mold issue going on in one of the rooms. We have a hot tub room and the windows were installed in the 80s, only one window opens and we have to keep it open otherwise mold forms overnight, even with the hot tub covered up. I have a spray bottle of vinegar in there whenever I see a new patch popping up. e.e" It's ridiculous.
I have no clue how much that replacement project will end up costing, but I imagine it's not going to be cheap by any means.
That room is so drafty with that one window up. :T

@Wildfire: It kind of feels like a slow-moving storm rolling in and I can't go anywhere. XD I'm annoyed because my initial rule of "let's distance so we have a chance of not spreading it throughout the house" was not followed. My roommates really just tossed that advice to the wind. :| //endrant// I could whine all day about this, but it's not going to change my situation.
I decided to change my avi to be a bit more halloween-ish. :3

@Koah: That sounds pretty stressful. I hate that it's so easy for mold to grow in a house. Do you think that those new windows will help you?

@Wildfire: Nice. Same here.
I think you did. The page moved pretty slow since I think we will forgot lol. Too much running around in rl while posting here.

@Koah: Oh, that sucks that the room-mates didn't even try to keep the virus to themselves (from the sound of it)! I'm sorry... :( Let's hope you have those antibodies (and hubby and the kids too!) <3

Yes, your avi is definitely more Halloween-y and also Christmas-y... I'm not quite sure how you managed to roll both holidays in to one avatar, but you did! XD

@Totalanimefan: For sure, new windows mean better venting. :d and then we can do some repairs to the fan in there to make it actually work. That fan is sketchhhyyy. It wobbles above the hottub when turned on. o_e

@Wildfire: lol! I realized that once I saved it.. I was like "huh.. got a krampusy thing goin' on here." XD Well if anything, I don't need to change my avi for awhile. lol!

BRB for a bit, I'm going to do some chores.

@Wildfire: What is distracting you?
@sunny: It's ok. ^^ What's up? How are the new fish?
@Koah: A new fan will really make a ton of difference. We don't have a working one in the 2nd bathroom and we need to fix that.

@sunny: welcome back.

@koah: lol - yeah... it's good though :3

@Totalanimefan: I didn't really sleep last night and I'm kind of feeling like I'm walking through some light sludge...but I'm also not sure I'm tired enough to nap either. So everything I do (cleaning up around the house, dishes, whatever) is just taking longer.

@Wildfire: Oh yeah you didn't really get much sleep did you, do you think you will be able to nap?

I gotta get away from the computer for a little bit. All this studying, plus calling up people for the house, and looking online for permits is really driving me crazy.

@sunny: They are probably fine. Freshwater fish are more hardy.

@Totalanimefan: no, I only got about 3 hours of sleep and I'm starting to really feel it. I think I'm going to go hang out in the hammock soon, watch the birds and maybe -hopefully- snooze for a bit... now that it's really bright and really hot outside (it was overcast and cool this morning) XD

good luck with the studying and calls and stuff :3



@sunny: you're welcome
