This is fun! How many have you visited?

10 years ago

I scored 48, which was two stars. My family has been to many more-Russia and Amsterdam to name two I remember. Looks like I'll have to step up my travels. Where have you travelled?

Here is a link that might be useful: 100 places to visit

I have not traveled that much but did see I have been to seven of the places shown.
Washington Monument
Times Square
White House
Statue of Liberty
Smithsonian Institute
Las Vegas Strip
Gateway Arch
I did not look at all the pictures as it was taking way too long for my computer to load in.

About a dozen, but only because it was heavily weighted to the west (and east) coast and I lived on the west coast.

How do you know when you have too many plants??

Have you ever seen the big tall poles with a propellor on them. They produce energy and for most people who put them in they produce more energy then they use and they start getting a check from the electic company instead of a bill. Problem is for most people the amountof money they are saving is not even close to the cost of the generator. (Est. $10-20,000_ With a bill of $500 dollars a month it would pay for itself in four years and then your electric is essentially free. I don't know about electric heat, but I would imagine you may still need more power than a single wind generator can produce. If you plan on staying in your house for a while it may be a worth while investment. In my case (or my fathers case) it would take too many years for the generator to pay for itself than is worth while for us and we don't have that kind of money upfront. It is easier to pay for the electric bill each month which is a smaller cost than the wind generator even though the long term costs are higher.

i lost my senior great dane girl 5 weeks ago to bone cancer. it was sudden and shocking and i still look for her. my remaining dane girl and eden were joined at the hip, pip took the loss very hard and had been grieving so much, it broke my heart. i contacted pip's breeder and one of her former co-owners and asked that they keep an eye out for any adults that any breeder friends might be considering a new home for (retired show dogs, etc.). the co-owner gave me the contact information for one of her people who had a dane boy she had been looking for just the right home for and the rest is history. meet "flighty foto my way", call name "frank". frank will be 4 years old on 5/31. he is a very sweet boy and he and pippin hit it off immediately at our meet 'n' greet friday. they do zoomies numerous times a day, sleep curled up together and are just a perfect pair. pippin is so much happier and that makes me happier. even though i miss eden terribly, i am beginning to heal now that pip is feeling better. frank is a bit on the thin side because he lived the last 4 weeks with a female dane who was going through a heat cycle and when that's going on, intact males ignore food, do a lot of pacing and fretting and routinely lose weight. he's eating like a horse so i'm confident he will gain and be back to his normal weight soon. i'm giving him a few weeks to settle in and then i'll make an appointment to have him neutered.

How many times did you visit a house before making an offer?
Q
Comments (55)
Thanks everyone for their insight. Our house finally closed yesterday. Of course you go through a lot of emotions, at least we did, (Couldn't wait for it to sell, then became sad at the thought of really leaving it...etc) but now that we've settled into a rental, we're happy to be done with the whole selling side of things. We also feel grateful to have had a sucessful sale in this market. Now that we are in the buyer's seat we still doubt WE would be able to make an intellegent decision based on one visit. Our needs/wants are a bit more unique than the average buyer though. If it were just my husband and I, I could see falling in love with something perfect for the two of us when I walked in the front door...in fact I did: We made an offer the other day on a home that I DID fall in love with on the first visit. I loved it when we pulled up and throughout the whole house. Had it not been an evening visit and we couldn't see most of the yard, I'm sure I would have talked my Husband into offering then and there. Come to find out, it was a short sale and in reality it was perfect for US, but not for our son. We convinced ourselves that we could make the modifications needed to make it work for everyone. Our Agent explained it could take months to hear back so we could offer and continue to look and pull the offer at anytime so we decided to go for it. We have since rescinded the offer when we realized no matter how much I wanted it, and modifications included it wasn't the right house for ALL the family members. I would have always felt it was a selfish decision. Since then we've gone back to another house we've been watching for a 3rd visit..... and now plan to offer on because it's a good compromise house for everyone. I guess it took 3 visits to convince me that I was doing the right thing by choosing this one. It's not that I didn't like it, it was just not what I had envisioned we would buy which was a forever dream home. I've realized it might not be possible to mesh what is perfect for me with the needs of my son. So, after that really sank in and I became ok with it, I feel good about this offer. It's a low offer (I think it's overpriced and part of the reason it's been on the market 10 months) so if we get it, we will be able to make the changes I want that would make me happier with it, and it is an AWESOME place for my son's needs. Wish us luck!

1. I have to say that there are quite a few places I have been that were not listed. Corcovado is listed but not Sugar Loaf (in Brazil). The Louvre but not the Eiffel Tower. And not the Liberty Bell! Still, I would love to travel to more of the places listed.

I thought I saw the Eiffel Tower on the list. Maybe...

Only have been to 20 of the listed places but I don't feel to bad about it. There are so many other places to visit not on there. 100 places, that's only the tip of the iceberg. Was Yellowstone even on there? Hanama Bay in Hawaii, Carlsbad Caverns?
Many places in DC not mentioned. We could list a whole book I'm sure!

That really surprised me since I don't think I've traveled much. I've only been to Europe once and nothing from the country (Ireland) I visited was on the list.

Slinking in to say only 5, and 3 of those were in my hometown of NYC. But the only place on that list I'd really like to visit is the Galapagos Islands.

17 but have been close to a few more...like drove right by the St. Louis Arch many times. Didn't count it since I've never actually walked up to it. Been near Napa Valley, possibly even drove through it but not sure...and near or through Death Valley but again I didn't count it. I almost went to Jeruselum when I was TDY in Israel but got scared when they told us we'd be sleeping in a park in Tel Aviv on the trip, surrounded by armed guards. Nothing happened but about 6 months after we left that country a 16 year old girl died in the resort we visited on the Dead Sea. They had metal detectors you had to go through to get inside and to the water. I was already freaked out because we had a commander's call and then a day or two later had another one so they could tell us they intercepted terrorists who found out we were TDY there...on a TDY that no one was supposed to know about.

dedtired,

The Eiffel Tower is on the list. Although I agree that the list is somewhat weird in their selections of things to include, especially when they have several from the same city.

My Eiffel Tower story: I grew up in Cincinnati, which is where the King's Island Amusement Park is located. One of the attractions at the park is a 1/3 scale replica of the Eiffel Tower, which is relatively easy to see from the interstate that passes by the park. As kids we would always try to be the first one in car that saw the Eiffel Tower replica as its tip appeared over the trees. We would point, and shout "The Eiffel Tower! I saw it first!"

Years later, just after I graduated from college, my brother planned a trip for the two of us to travel and backpack around Europe for about 7 weeks. On one long day of travel involving an overnight ferry from Ireland to France and a train trip from there into Paris, I was sitting on the train, dazed, and dozing off, when my brother shakes me awake, laughing and shouting excitedly: "The Eiffel Tower! The REAL Eiffel Tower! I saw it first! Ha ha! I saw it first!
