[QUOTE="Lil, post: 672228, member: 17309"] We didn't have plans that grand. We both still have full-time jobs for the next 10 years or so. But...a pretty garden spot to grow veggies and herbs, a little orchard with some apple, pear and nut trees, a few fat hens giving us fresh eggs, and woods for foraging for mushrooms, blackberries, and Jabber to hunt in...that's what we want. :starplucker: We looked at some unimproved acreage yesterday, but nothing that really ticked all the boxes. He'd have hunting land and I could go look for mushrooms and berries in season - but we'd still be living in town and even if we could build, they were really too far away or had other issues. The best of the three for a house was actually too small to hunt. It may be we need to just stop and wait until we have more money and are ready to move. After all, different things will be on the market next summer. So...yesterday I asked my son via Facebook message how he liked the pizza I sent him. He immediately responded. Then, I told him that if he called Arby's tomorrow (now today) if he needed to go back to talk to the hiring manager, to let me know and I could get him there. No response.:unsure: Then I said, "Or did you get hold of them today?" No response. :frown: Then I said, "Well it's your business, ask for help if you need it or don't." No response. :sigh: Then I asked if he also got the pasta with the pizza and he immediately responded.:919Mad: So...who wants to take bets that he called and they aren't hiring him for some reason? I may be jumping to conclusions. I'm also starting to work harder than he is to get him re-employed. :( I have to quit that. Bad dreams all night, mostly focused on him and work and ... tired today.
