Dreamhouse?

How close am I to living in my dream house?  Well I'm kind of close.  About the most difficult is not being near the ocean and having an ocean view - oh well, guess that will be my 2nd house.

There is the point of having a fireplace but with enough money I can have that built in.  I love the area where I live and don't even mind all the fix-up and maintenance that I have to do.

The only thing that is really bugging me right now is working on having enough money to satisfy me!

Cable Channels

I get basic cable and one of the channels I don't get is SoapNet.  Now if you have to ask just go to my webpage about Loving-The Soap Opera at:

and you'll see that I have a big interest in soap operas.  But its just not worth it to pay the extra cost for this.

See my previous post about my cable bill going up.

Oh to be fishing..........

Just visiting some posts and someone mentioned being able to go fishing now that the weather is getting warmer.  Oh how I envy them.  I LOVE going fishing.  Since I'm in the Philadelphia area I'm going to have to start getting everybody's recommendations for good fishing holes!

Along with spring comes......

the insects!  Mostly I'm talking about BEES!

I just saw a HUGE one flying around the inside of the window!  It was gigantic - bigger than a quarter!  When I was down in the basement yesterday one was flying around!  They are so huge!

Another tax?

Just got this little newsletter for my area and they are talking about a new tax that started this past February.  It sounds a lot like a local tax that is already levied in this area and I'm wondering if its an additional tax!  Like I need to have to pay another tax!

The Cable bill has gone up!

Just got my cable bill for the month and it has gone up to just over $50.  I had always allotted $50 per month for the cable bill which now means I will have to adjust my budget or just make more money!

Since I live in the Philadelphia area my cable company is Comcast of course the very BIG conglomerate I like to call them.  I have the choice of staying with Comcast, getting a different cable company or getting a dish.  I was without cable for awhile and that whole trouble I went thru with having to get an antenna and getting it adjusted right really turned me off of the idea of going without cable.  Now I may have to think about it more.
