I’ll keep this in mind. Winters are sooo long.

Agree unless it is one of the 90 concert days at Columbia’s Pavilion or a December weekend evening at Columbia’s Festival of Lights. Then you, after a long day at work, have a good chance of being stuck in a traffic jam for an hour where you can see your spouse waiting for you in the window of your apartment at Juniper Apartment bldg.

I can attest. Grew up in the sub-Arctic and my vitamin D test = zero. Also super common to have low D in places where sunscreen use is common, like in Australia.

Why stay for a decade if you don’t like it?

What’s trt?

I personally dislike having a statement regarding where should be buried or ashes spread. And also dislike having pre-bought graves since decades from now the cemetery may be under new ownership or even bankrupt. So leave enough money for a decent burial/cremation and make a statement about being buried or ashes spread wherever the administrator of the will sees fit.

My family has made too many world-treks trying to meet a family member’s last wish. All of our family members have promised that they won’t make a specific demand of where buried. Other than my spouse has asked that which ever of us two goes first that they be cremated and then buried with whomever dies last. Neither of us will probably be married again - too set in our ways- so shouldn’t be too difficult to schlep around the cremains.

Do your self a favor for when you sell the house. If no 2” Toilet line at that time then you will very likely have to put in the proper line.

I have only been here for a year so still getting to know the area. I haven’t been able to find a butcher store which sells high-end products, like big and clean (no bone chips) marrow and soup bones, prime beef, etc. I have been shopping at Wholefoods but just came back from a northwest vacation where went to a high-end butcher store “Mr Prime Beef”. They sold much higher grade of seafood and beef products than I have found locally here, high enough quality to be in demand from restaurants. Willing to drive further.
