little bit out of the price range. i doubt i'll be able to make it happen. would love it, though. a flat over a coffee shop would make me the happiest. 

That place had a coffee shop just down the street if I remember correctly. I wouldn't like living over a restaurant or coffee shop. Too many people and I'd be worried the place would burn down because of somebody not paying attention in the kitchen.

i think i go in the opposite direction of most. my ideal retirement is living in some old downtown area in a flat above some shop or something. 

life out in the country was just something i got real tired of. My kids actually miss some of living out there, which i understand. that was where they grew up for the most part. 40 acres with a 2.5 acre pond. it was beautiful, but also way too much (and too expensive) for me to keep up with. 

Back in my 20s, I lived in a flat over a Hallmark store in downtown West Jefferson for about five years. It was some of the best times of my life. The only difficulty was that right outside my bedroom window was the town's massive fire siren.

It was good that I was the local newspaper editor and had to go out and cover house fires and whatnot, because when that siren fired up, it would just about blow me out of my bed and into the next room. Deafened, I might as well get dressed, grab a camera and follow the fire trucks as they'd roll out.

I grew up in upstate NY just south of Lake Ontario and moved back to Western NY just north of Niagara Falls for a few years as an adult. As a late teen I saw plenty of snow living in WV and I've seen some pretty damn impressive lake effect snow storms in New York State.  Once in a while I get nostalgic for a big snow fall - like maybe on Xmas eve.  The rest of the time - no thanks.  Been there done that and at my age am done with it.  Its pretty to see, no doubt, but too much work and the other bs that goes with it uglies up the picture for me.

    • GlucoTrust missing that extra piece of cake really kill you'll??? It may feel like that but honestly it won't. I have had many arguments with myself over-the-counter pros and cons of experiencing that extra piece of cake I dont really need, truly just taste so good that I couldnt pass it shifting upward. Making sure that you get a these little treats you will ever have will make certain you have the desire power to avoid at 1 piece of cake. Its easy to say yes, its hard but much more rewarding state he no.

    • Why I think the Jags may not be picking in the top 5:  They could run the table--but I do not know how you play these teams without 2-3 wins.  If LV wins, it hurts their chances--I think the split with Tennessee, and beat the Jets at home-- Regardless, who knows?  Bad teams are unpredictable.  I see the first round of the draft going this way: 1.  NY Giants (Saints and Colts are winnable games on schedule-but the Giants will be underdogs in both; predicted finish is 2-15) 2. Patriots  (not winning another game--they have 4 to play; I am guessing 3-14 and they have a pretty weak SOS) 3.The Browns have 1 winnable game--@ Bengals, and the Cats will be favored.  I predict that Winston is going to Winston--final record---3-14.  SOS is weaker right now than Vegas 4. Raiders (Saints and Jags on schedule---A win would take Vegas out of the Ward/Sanders race.  I think they could win 1; probably finish 3-14 5. Panthers could surprise some folks--here is why:  They play Dallas at home and that is a possible win. They end the season at Tampa Bay--and then the last game of the season against the team that may have the division wrapped up---Atlanta.  If so, they will play their subs, but it seems Tampa won't go away. Atlanta and Tampa Bay are currently 6-6, but the Falcons will probably lose to Minnesota and Washington, ending 9-8.  Tampa has an easier schedule down the stretch, with probable wins against the Raiders, Cowboys, Panthers, and Saints.  I think they win 3 or 4 of these, and that would prevent Atlanta from resting starters. Predicted finish:  4-13 because I think the Panthers will win one because they are improving, but Dallas is their best hope for a win (at home).  It is possible that they do not win a game, but we are playing too well not to get a W in five chances. 6. NY Jets (Jax only winnable game left, but with Rogers, they could upset someone.  probable 4-13) 7. Titans have 3-4 winnable games left on the schedule; expect 2 wins)  probably finish 5-12 or so. 8. Jags have nothing but winnable games left--Titans x 2, Jets, Colts, and Raiders-Jax could run the table, but they won't.  With Mac Jones, they could actually get a boost.    Expect them to finish 5-12. TEAMS with 4 WINS Bengals the are the first 4-win team but they have 3 winnable games--they will finish 6-11 by winning 2 of 3 vs. Cleveland, Dallas, and Tennessee. The Saints (4 wins) have the Giants and Raiders left.  They win at least 5, probably finish 6-11 The Bears have 4 wins and with SF, Minn, Seattle, Green Bay, and Detroit left, they may be headed for an 11-game losing streak to end the season.  Yikes.  Predicted finish, 4-13 THE DRAMA:  1. NY Giants--Ward, QB Miami 2. New England (TRADE with LV Raiders)--Expect the phone to be ringing with Vegas on the line and they will throw a ton at the lucky Pats, making it impossible for them to say "no".  The Pats have needs at Edge, WR, OL, and CB--so they will want picks. However, if they trade, they probably lose Travis Hunter, so the price will be steep, and the Raiders will pay it to bring in a brash star to be the QB of the future. 3.  Cleveland --With both QBs off the board, the Browns take the best player in the draft, Travis Hunter, CB/WR. 4.  New England (from Raiders)--Hard to say, but they will be focused on Edge, CB, WR, and maybe OL.  I am guessing they take the position that will be gone by round 2.  A. Carter, DE/Edge 5.  Carolina:  With the top WR in the draft on the board, along with Graham, the top DT, I do not see an edge or WR worth this pick.  I think they trade or they take Graham DT or McMillan WR.  We need a #1 WR, and we are getting DT Brown back, so the choice is a toss up.  If it were me, I would 1) trade back 5-10 spots and get both Edge and WR, 2) Graham, DT (can you imagine how awesome our front would be with Graham and Brown?) 3) McMillan WR.   My pick is Graham, DT, Michigan.  I think an edge like Boston College's Donovan Ezeirukau (80 tackles, 17 sacks) or a WR I really like--Elic Ayomanor from Stanford.   My sleeper pick is Mike Green (edge, Marshall).  Since Ayomanor is not a #1, I would take Exeirukau (BC Edge)  That is how I see it now--but we should be picking around #5, and we know 3 players that are going off the board 1-3--Hunter, Ward, and Sanders.
