Yeah they keep pounding us coming in from NE

I think our elevation is helping us quite a bit, I bet if I drove down to town at 400' there would be a couple slushy inches.

Might be tough to do a whole lot unless it is very heavy. 

That's what I'm banking on. Last band was heavy and got up to 4 in.

Looks like another heavy band coming west to hit me and Ginxy, I should end up with 6+.

Its all genetics.

It sure is, my father's side most lived to 90 even pushing 100, my mother's side 70's was tops. It remains to be seen which genes I inherited, I'm just going to try and stay active and in good shape and eat well and see what happens.

My personal story on weight. When I was disabled from 2 back surgeries and pulmonary embolism back in Dec I lost 42 lbs and was weak as hell. I guess my body needs weight as I gained 25 back and feel great. I eat everything but in moderation but Italian bread is my downfall. Jelly beans and Reeces also are a danger. Lol. My sugar is fine though.  My nieces husband died the other day from multiple strokes. Absolutely the picture of health, runner, athlete, never smoked drank little, ate the healthy way. You just never know. I am at the stage of life where some excess is ok but moderation is better but if I want  steak and potatoes lathered in salt and pepper so be it.  

I have a weakness for jelly beans too, its the only sugar I nibble on now and then.

The Red Sox have had strong pitching.  Always has been the name of the game.

Chaim's done a good job finding pitchers, Whitlock looks like a rule 5 steal, and from the Yankees no less.

100% agree. My attorney isn’t nuking the deal, just raising flags. If the condo docs were available, that would probably help a lot. 

Here's a good article on pros and cons of leased land properties,

The annual rent from the lessee developer to lessor is $10. Not sure I see the benefit?  

The one's I've done have been $100, and they have 35-30 houses on the land. That's why I'd have to see the lease to know more.

Will banks do conventional  mortgages on leased land?

Yes

Any concern that the lessor could raise the lease payment for the land?  What if this third party lessor goes belly up or gets this leased land tied up in litigation. Would this cloud my title and prevent me from selling?  I will add that the condo docs are still not finalized...I have until Friday to sign P&S, I will need a condition to be included for my unfettered personal satisfaction of the condo docs once finalized and received. Otherwise, I walk. 

There's always that chance but its not likely because he should be making money, I'd have to see the lease to answer all your questions. The one's I have done have a set fee for the duration of the lease so it can't go up. It's just a way for the developer to spread out his profits, do enough of them and you have money coming in for life, that's the main reason they do it like that. I guess there's tax benefits to the developer to from what I have gathered.

I know we have some real estate gurus here...seeking input. 
 

I’m looking into purchasing a condo in a new development (<15 units) that is still under construction. Today, I learned that the land will be leased to the developer in a 95 year Grounds Lease for a nominal sum. So, essentially, the developer (lessee) would be subletting to the unit owners.  The lessor is a third party LLC. My attorney is concerned as it could cause resale problems down the road. My realtor isn’t so concerned. I know I’m probably leaving a lot of important details out, but on its face, does this seem like a situation to avoid?

I've appraised many of those types of deals in my area. They're more common in Connecticut, lots of single families on leased land. What happens when the lease is up? You won't be around but some of the banks ask me that question, usually it gets extended for another long term lease. They don't have a problem on resale but they do sell for maybe 5% lower than a similar house on owned land.

So is my Mom, And it was sauce from scratch, I have a hard time liking other peoples sauces, I have her recipe, And myself or my wife will make it all the time, Never anything from the store in a jar.

I was lucky, my mother taught my wife how she makes it and shes got it down pat, my sister also makes it very good to. No ragu or hunts at my house.

I use tomato sauce but not crazy about hunts, my mother was italian so I'm picky about my tomato sauces.

I was 40 lbs overweight and pre diabetic so I cut out sweets, eat balanced meals but less and exercise regularly. In the last 6 months I've lost 35 lbs and all my blood work has come back normal. Once you get used to eating less, less will make you full. I've been walking a lot with my dog after dinner and do sprint interval training 3 days a week along with weights once a week. Feel 100 times better, also cut way down on alcohol and very little if any processed foods, plenty of vegetables with a big veggie salad at dinner every night. Went from 205 to 170 in 6 months.

Some good things and bad things from the bruins game.. I like the 3rd line and 4th line play today. Bergie line struggle.. Pasta is not right.. I give Hall a B- I mean new line and team so some adjustment needed. 2 pts is good.

I thought both new guys played well with a lot of energy but that's to be expected first game with a new team, lets see if they can keep it up.

I'm 29 and they want to give me a colonoscopy. Not thrilled. Family history. 

I'm getting my second one next week, it's not that bad, I anticipated it being worse the first time I went and it wasn't as bad as I thought.

Grubex going down this wknd. Already saw some of the little bastards.

I lost almost 10k feet of lawn one year to those little bastards, the animals love to eat them and just destroyed my lawn digging them up.  I just got my lawn to the point where it looked great, had to truck in a lot of loam and reseed, now I religiously treat every year,
