you like it in the country you'll have to come visit me down here in culpeper at casa de carter
Edit: yes my last name is carter and no i didn't write the x-files or play for the vikings

 

Damn, I much as I'd like to retire back in my home state - I don't see it in my future.

 

Your gonna hate me then. I changed jobs. The jobs I left was about 3 miles door to door. The new one is about 4 miles door to door.

 

hate absolutely not! envy yes! i gave up 20k a year for the job closer to home so i had time with my girls. i was coaching 2 soccer teams plu scouts, and my girls were at that very active time in their lives. i never had a dad, no pity his loss, so i figured i only had 1 chance to do it right. it was the best decision i ever made other than marrying my wife.

 

I remember those early morning Frost calls "filling the cup " especially after a holiday

 

You going to bed already ..... Sheeez !!!

 

Right on. Priorities and them sound better than a lot of people's. Too bad I can only like it once.

 

8:30 for him and he's siiiick. Gotta give him a little break.















NOT!!!!!! Give him hell. Lol.

 

thanks and i'd do it again without a second thought some things are worth more than money. i ended up being a babysitter for alot of dads that just wanted to drop their kids off and run while i got to watch them learn and grow. they may have made alot more financially than i did but the time i got to spend with my girls and other kids was worth way more than the lost income.

 

I did the night time with the kiddo but had to have a roof and food. She knew the score early on. The thing I regret and have talked with her more than once was not having more weekends free. Time sure flew too.

 

Would love to see casa de carter.

 

The wife's commute is 1.6 miles.

 

i gave up the 65 and 70 hour weeks to do this. there were plenty of times doing soccer 7 days a week and scouts on top of it that i would get very frustrated especially during deer season and thought my god won't this ever end and give me a break. then it did. they're gone.now we just live, it's quiet, and i miss them

 

it ain't much but your welcome i'll let you know when we're going to get together rt now i'm going to try and get a little hunting in after i do some work on a guys truck saturday. you'll wish you'd have shopped in culpeper be warned. my wife drives 4 miles to get to work and complains about traffic

 

I love Culpepper. But the edge of the Blue Ridge is real nice too!

 

i was afraid you'd misunderstand me berryville is a beautiful area. it's alot like most of this area i'm on the mtn. side of culpeper

 

There's no question I could live in Culpeper, and love it... But after 28 years of marriage, and 5 houses, this is the first house we've ever agreed on. Some she wanted, some I wanted, but we finally agreed... So it must be Kismet.

 

It's a nice looking place. You'll move in make some changes to make it your own and by the grace of god be very happy. It looks nice and quiet also

 

I'm posting from my phone since the computer decided to shrink the screen again. Well that's the only way I know how to describe it. The screen size is the same but all the text shrinks. It did it several weeks ago and I couldn't get it back so it's been hard to read. Tonight it made it so small I can't read it. It has to be a tw setting because everything else is regular size. Other than being able to talk to you folks I hate a damn computer

 

Oh OK then Fire watch is important



Once every 6 days got to wear this hat on the USS America in addition to running half the main engineering spaces. Never did figure out NAVY stands for Never Again Volunteer Yourself LOL. In addition was one of half a dozen NBC Warfare trainers for 5,000+ people on board during Desert Shield and Desert Storm. Yeah I volunteered for that too.
