You must be a laugh riot at a certain kind of party; the ones with just a sprinkling of libs for entertainment value. 
Speaking of parties, how is Michelle O?
I don't get invited to those sort of parties. Really, anymore, its all I can do to keep myself from not going Apesh*t on the liberals I work with. For the first time in my career I told a lie and got out of sales training. It was two weeks after Robert's betrayal, and really, I couldn't trust myself not to murder someone.
MichelleO is still around. Just taking a break from the forum, and mostly working on tending the greenhouse and getting our house sold. We missed out on that super cool AG land in town, but after the Obamacare decision I am done. I will cash out the remainder of the 401K, buy a property mortgage free or close to..( At current rates, 100,000 in mortgage is about $500 a month..) and basically be ready to go Galt before tax year 2014. The only question is where to buy. For just the price of the equity in our current house there is 115 acres of AG land with a house, shop, barn,solar and well - about 15 minutes form our current Teotwaki property. MichelleO still wants the in town presence for the kids. She wants just a small townhouse... but if we get something like that it will be lost money in the end (I think) - You only own the air inside,and if the HOA can't collect enough to maintain the outside, then the whole structure goes to crap. Limited resources, and I am not sure where to allocate them yet. After Obamacare, I am ready just to say the heck with town, and people in general for that matter, and get a placewhere I can see the feds coming for me literally a mile away. . MichelleO isn't ready to do that yet.
Colorado Dems are playing games to remove GOP from certain seats so they can implement the Obamacare exchanges. I am torn even on that. Part of me says let em- I can go up into the mountains and make macaroni pictures of Obama ( Pelosi said I could!) and raise Yaks, and still have insurance paid for by the taxpayer. Part of the problem with having done the work and paid the cost of prepping, is once you near completion, you kinda want to push the process along.
