just catching up. cute floor plan. it looks like they made excellent use of the space and it flows nicely.

[Gabz]

That explains why I'm not familiar with it - I'm much more familiar with the Eastern Shore.

That DelMarVa mind set, I guess!!!!

[xsmommy]

i haven't been to the eastern shore in years. in fact, i haven't been to baltimore in probably 6 years or so.

I think I've been playing "The Sims" game for too long - about a month now. My first reaction when seeing the floor plan was "What would The Sims do?"

[Gabz]

Baltimore is NOT on the Eastern Shore!!!!!!! that's on your side of the Bay. LOL!!!!

[Gabz]

LOL - that's funny.

I was in Staples the other day and saw that game and remembered I've got a copy of the original Sim city and never was able to figure it out!!!

Actually listening to her speak is kinda like masturbating with a cheese grater

Slightly Amusing, But mostly painful.

Hubby turned the AC on here last night - but the system needs a charge, so we wasted a lot of electricity for no cooling at all.

Actually, without a working fluid (the refrigerant), your compressor isn't compressing anything. The only energy you wasted was running the fan and cycling the (unloaded) compressor - pittance in comparison to the amount of power normally required.

[RikaStrom]

The Sims?

[RikaStrom]

Is it my imagination or are a lot of things getting posted on the other side that really need to be posted in "General"?

[hobbes1]

Not to be flip Miss Rika, but who really cares. I mean Ithink the whole Nine different thread lines thing, was lame to begin with. Since they can't make any of the random thread posters comply, I think It's nice that there are just the few of us (WFTD, Guild etc....here most of the time.)
