He is a great handyman, so tends to most of the plumbing, electrical probs, etc. But, his biggest beef is dead beat tenants. He tells me that it costs a lot of money to get them evicted, so he spends an inordinate amount of time banging on doors and trying to shake people down for money. But...you have an even tougher time. NEVER rent to family!<br /><br />Bing and I are getting married in late December. We talked about rings, etc. We decided to just buy things we like. I already picked out my amethyst. She just wants a simple silver band. Rings are fine, but unnecessary. <br /><br />I can't even imagine living next door to one of Bing's exes. <br /><br />We are anti social. There I said it. When friends call to do things, Bing and I look at each other and groan. We'd rather just hang together at home. Sad, I know.
