Nope. Wake Forest. RJ Reynolds paid them to move from Wake Forest to Winston Salem.
You know, I've been there. I should have remembered that. But wasn't Duke in that deal somewhere? What am I misremembering?
I think it was RJ Reynolds.....maybe I should look it up.
Nah, his hair isn't long. He's shorthaired.
But yeah, I'd need to get a vacuum cleaner.
I don't remember Dook being in that deal.
Gotcha covered on the other thread!
Sorry, I don't do pets up North. I'm not getting out in zero degree weather to walk the dogs (though I am partial to doxies) and I'm allergic to cats. ;o)
I could drive up there and help her paint, though. I'm vey good at that!
You'll be bringing Van-sama, no?
I have most things necessary for running a house, but if you bring your dishes and pans and small appliances that's probably good.
Do you want me to freepmail you with the amounts of my monthly bills? Like I said, I don't expect any while you're penniless, and certainly as long as you're on the sofa or whatever, not half...
Okay, started in Guilford County as Trinity (and had another name before that). Then they moved to Durham and later changed the name.
Wife taught for a bit at Trinity High School.
OT could probably recommend paint colors...
Woodlawn Bedroom White
Most of the rooms still have really ugly wallpaper...pretty hopeless. Which is why I'm sayin' I'd have to risk selling as is. Redoing the walls will just be out of my budget range.
But someone would probably be happy to buy it as a fixer-upper, I'd think. And I'll at least finish the office...finally.
Do you know how to refinish floors? ;-)
Well....it doesn't cost anything to take the wallpaper down and then you can paint.
Can you tell I bought a house with nary a strip of wallpaper in it? :)
Heh, we'll put this whole thing on the non-trivial-prayer-request.
Don't worry about getting a job out here. I am positive you could get a "hold-me-over" that will pay enough to keep you warm and fed; you haven't got car payments, right? Any other debt?
And like I said there's lots of IT stuff around. College and all...
I'm assuming I'd be bringing Van-sama, yes...so I can bring books and dishes and maybe even a few sticks of furniture...my rocking chair and a trunk.
I've got room for those! I already have lots of other furniture, plenty enough. And cable internet, have I mentioned that? :-)
Getting your car registered in CO is expensive, but you don't have to do that for either three or six months, I forget, and then there's no yearly inspection! Just emissions.
Lessee... what else... I'm positive the state tax has to be less. Gas is about what it is here in Pittsburgh, I'd guess ten cents below the national average. I shop at Wal-mart for food and that is cheap... other than rent, it's very low price for everything.
I'm planning to use some COLOR when we remodel. It's my house, I'm not selling anytime soon, and I like color! I especially like contrast, so all our woodwork is bright white, and I'm gonna paint the master bath a dusky purple. SSQ doesn't like dark color on the walls, but I'm using colors that are saturated but not necessarily dark. I have a lovely blue in the kitchen that changes as the day goes on. It looks like robin's egg blue in the morning sun, but with the incandescent lights at night, it's almost green. I'm going to use it for the new kitchen/family room area. It's a great 'cool' color for what will be a vey sunny area.
For Rosie's we could do a light taupe, or sage; vey popular colors right now. Good sellers, especially for the style and age of her house. Don't you like the way I've already chosen your paint colors, Rosie? ;o) I'm just a pushy broad, what can I say?
