As promised...

The finished CAD preliminary floor plans from last week...sorry about the glare, I forgot to turn on the overhead fluorescent lights in my office... :oops: I prefer to work at the computer with just the natural light from my open window shades, and the natural light and a desk lamp over my drafting table, but, it was getting dark out when I took them... :cyclops:

Main floor, upper floor, and lower floor, respectively...

Wow! Interesting how different the two designs are. Different strokes for different (wealthy) folks! ;)

I like how you put some foliage in one of the pictures, and I also like day and (nighttime-ish) views. It all gives you different perspectives on the architecture. Fun to study.

Honestly I do more powerwalking in malls these days by default than I get my shopping completed. I do window shop and look for stuff I like and then seem to do better price wise and selection online.

I don't want malls to fail though, where else would I walk in the cold and rain.

Malls are an option for many people. I'm not a fan of them as most of the stores are boring (to me). I do like stores that are off by themselves, scattered around towns or out in the country, as they tend to have more unique merchandise. Not too many left around, but I seek them out.

Oh my. You need to read this novel if you have not since it is a favorite of many school districts for awhile already that is on our school districts reading list and have your kids read it too. Reads exactly like your life you are speaking of. Maybe your life? :eek:

I ended up going to the doctor because my migraines have been BAD lately. Especially after last week when I had a migraine starting Sunday and it didn't go away until Saturday night, it was time for a change.

So he put me on a preventative medication. I actually qualified because I've been getting migraines basically weekly for 1-3 days, and I have aura with them. So we shall see if this helps.

Crossing fingers that this works for you.

People must have really enriching lives on the weekends. BECAUSE.....here on Monday I came home from work and after doing some private music instruction on the side....I come on to WDWMagic at 5PM and I have 27 ALERTS....27!
On the weekend the game forum is a ghost town. :joyfull: On the weekends I get hardly any alerts.
Yet when others are on here...I'm too busy at work Mon. - Fri.to post on the game thread 8:50AM -4PM.....but on the weekend I have a lot of free time.
Maybe some people can enjoy some game thread posts while at work. I have just 2 gigs of data with T Mobile....it's an affordable plan that I want to keep. Anyway.....I'm glad everyone has such busy weekends but sometimes I miss you guys. :(

THIS weekend is my daughter's Sweet 16th birthday.
THIS WEEKEND WE WILL have enriching lives also :):cool::joyfull:
*
We will spend time in Manhattan and even spend a night at a hotel in the Times Square region. My wife and daughter will enjoy going in MACY'S ....just days before the Thanksgiving parade passes by that same location.
I'm done rambling on now LOL :D

Well someone needs to keep the in store personnel employed. I do feel bad when I walk in our dead mall. I have lived here 6 years and have been maybe 6 or 7 times. It is in a dry county so they couldn't put any restaurants over there. There are barely any stores in there anymore. The movie theater is pretty much the only draw now. All the new shopping was built in my town so it has built up shopping wise but with mostly stores like Target and Kohl's and almost every chain restaurant you can think of but Chuy's.

Thank you so much for those numbers. We are looking at North Carolina and Florida. How are the taxes in North Carolina? We get half off of property taxes since we are over 65 and have lived in our house over 10 years. (More like 25 years).

I wish I could help you, but, I do not own anymore. I rent and therefore never see a property tax bill, other then for my car. However, my daughters tell me that they are pretty reasonable. The area that I live in, the Raleigh Area has a high concentration of population and since most of the tax money goes to recreation and beautification (no snow removal and huge municipal heating costs) it's not bad. I don't think there is a 50% Senior Citizen discount though. It sounds like that law was enacted after extensive research to justify legalizing Pot. ;):D

Until my daughters moved here, NC was never on my radar, but, now that I'm here the fact that in the Raleigh area I am two hours away from the ocean and beaches to the east, two hours from the Smokey Mountains to the west and a leisurely 10 hour drive to Orlando to the south. They tell me that there's a lot of things to the north as well, but, I don't have a go north young man module in my GPS. Everything that one could want is right here within easy reach. Entertainment, Dining, a public walk way about every 40 feet. Public playgrounds, ball fields and indoor basketball courts scatter all over the place. For kids and adults alike. You wouldn't believe the beauty and expanse of baseball fields.

I know I sound like a pamphlet from the Chamber of Commerce, but, with the exception of a political system that is stuck in 1848, everything else is quite pleasant.
