    @LuFins-Dad said in Is this a stupid idea?: In 2 years, Luke’s going to be living off campus for a year as the school he’s at doesn’t have enough dorm housing for seniors and as the school continues to grow, that will spread into the juniors as well. We’re currently spending about $12K a year on room and board. Houses are currently renting around the campus at about $800 per bedroom and 3 bedroom houses are selling for roughly $200K. Would it be completely stupid to take the room and board we’ll be paying that year anyway and put it and a bit from savings as a down payment? Mortgage would be about $1200, so $800 per month for the other two bedrooms would cover the mortgage and utilities. After Luke graduates, that’s 3 bedrooms at $2400 per month, now you’re covering maintenance… Now college kids, yeah, I get it, but I can trust Luke for the one year, and keep the rental restricted to Seniors going forward… Get 5 years appreciation and sell… I would be looking for a 2 bedroom, ground floor condo about 5 to 10 miles away from the college.

    Hardcover $25.43 Kindle $0.00 because I had a few dollars credit, so I got it. You really need the coffee table version, but $.00 is a good price

    On the recommendation of a friend, who in retrospect was a total freaking weirdo, I attempted to read the Mission Earth series by Hubbard. It was pretty crap. A bunch of us were also once grabbed by the Scientologists, aged about 16, and put through their questionnaire - they have a "church" in Manchester from which they'd ambush young people and offer to give them a 'personality test'. Clearly, we all failed, as they subsequently showed absolutely no interest in me or any of my friends.

    That was very cool and a lot of fun to see those things. The backside of the Hollywood sign is open to every one. I did it last summer. You just have to make the effort to walk up the hill further. [image: 1648518213406-img_6135.jpg]

    There was a story I read about some celebrity talking about the first job they had. They worked for the goverment transportation group for the summer and had visions of being a "flagger" on the highway, flirting with girls as they were stopped in traffic, getting a sun tan, etc. Well, their job turned out was picking up dead animals on the road. 5555

    Take it from luminary Will Smith. Sometimes being an ultimate vessel of human love, involves violence against the less virtuous.

    @Aqua-Letifer said in North Korea Missile Test Video: 89th on his camcorder could've made a better video. Who do you think shot the footage?
