Happy venting thread

What was the situation?

Strap in, cause this is a doozy.

Me and my GF were house hunting when we came upon a very nice home. It was, however, very close to a major highway.

This was fine, we both tolerate city noises well, since we both have lived in some of the busiest cities in the country. The problem is the owner wanted way, way too much for it. 368k to be exact.

Now, the owner had bought another home, but closing was contingent on her selling her old one. As pretty as her house was, it was not worth the asking price. We asked about getting the price down but the seller absolutely refused to budge even 1000 bucks.

Two weeks later our realtor shows us another house. We love it, and immediately put a bid in. Which we won.

Come to find out, it was the house the other seller had tried to buy. Her contract ran out because she refused to budge on price, and it went back on the market.

Oof

$368,000 is pretty close to average for a modest 3-4 bedroom in Northern Utah, last I checked. It actually might be a bit higher now, though.

I got a 2000sqft (1800 finished) 3 bedroom 2 bath (technically, they merged two bedrooms into one), brick ranch with half acre yard, public water/sewer/gas, and half finished walkout basement for 280kish.

It was built in the 60s, but everything in it is brand new, and it’s well upgraded. Brand new sub-pump, heatpump, granit counters, real hardwood floor, the works.

No garage, but it has a carport. Had two, but one was turned into a beautiful covered porch with wrought-iron fencing, pull down shutters, running lights, and slip resistant paint.

All in all, a damn good find.

I left work early and got a good few hours of sleep.

My new phone charger arrived

Found my old Meat Loaf CD that got jammed in the truck. I wiped it down and wasn’t working in the stereo, it didn’t want to eject, I kept trying and it finally plays again.

Stuff I downvoted. But after posting that I discovered I did have a post I downvoted. It was just hidden by my filter. So I removed the downvote and now I don’t have any downvoted things!

23 is a good place to be. A lot less pressure on your heart and joints.

I’m 18 trying to move up, so I’ve been loading on complex carbs and fat.

It’s easy to gain weight the wrong way. Take a bunch of unnecessary medicine and drink soda instead of water. Get lots of added sugar. Spoiler alert: don’t do this

@Moving
I don’t use the downvote button. It doesn’t make sense to me. If something doesn’t interest me I just don’t interact with it, no need to reach out and call art bad.

I haven’t been this light in about a decade. It feels great. Hope to get down to 22 eventually.

Eat a big bowl of granola cereal everyday! You’ll bulk up in no time. Or just increase your meal portions some. Lots of water is good but remember to shoot for the right balance of sodium & H2O.

It’s only going to get easier. If you stay away from drugs and sugar, your body might never put the fat back on. Your BMI is perfectly healthy.

Calories in vs calories used is a soft rule. To understand it perfectly, you got to follow the path of how the nutrients are absorbed, your metabolic rate and the conditions that make your body turn energy into fat (usually high blood sugar does this, and lots of medication, especially psych ones mess with your blood sugar)

Yeah, grains is about 2/3rds of my diet. Usually wheat, corn and rice. I’ll try more granola

I’m 170, 6’3” and biologically male, I been on the high energy diet for a while, and I’m actually 21 now. I was 18 when I started going heavy on all the grains and potatoe chips.

I can’t tell people what medicine to stop taking. I can only suggest that over-medication can be a problem.

Physiologist and physician are two different things. Physiologist might talk to physicians, but isn’t trained or contracted to practice medicine.

So I went to an Alice in Wonderland themed geocaching event. I dressed like TweedleDum.

It was an absolutely beautiful day for a ride, and we practiced getting our horses over their separation anxiety. They did really well and got lots of apples.

Just ate some soup.

I feel a lot better today. Now I just have sniffles.

I’ve finally managed to get my car’s air conditioning fixed. I am so grateful to have a father and uncle who are car mechanics.

A Youtube channel that used to post the latest Hot 100 videos is back, how I missed them so much.
