Sometimes all at once!

I know I am old, but a 3-day party sounds terrible. After a few hours, I would need a nap and some decompression time.

There are others...but they all involve the four you mentioned in someway

In other news: water is wet, grass is green, rural folks are bored and have nothing better to do than fuck.

Sock more away in savings. Something is bound to happen, and having ready funds for something like that is a good thing.

I agree with the other commentor. Don’t bug him, he’s happy the way things are. If you want to contribute, save a couple hundred a month into a “bigger house down payment” fund for when you two buy your next place.
