We Bought a Castle In Texas

[Flames9_RN 358]

very nice house. pay wise for RN's varies throughout the USA. As low as the high teens in some parts of the country. Dc area it starts out around $25 plus shift differential and believe me right now, there are a fair # of unemployed RN's in this area, so there is no dickering with salary, its take it or leave it, as they can get someone else. Enjoy the house

Yes, I used to be big time poster on All Nurses, but with a select few people on the International site that hate Philippines Nurses I stopped posting there.

Nursing is hurting in some areas of the USA, Mainly Northern or Western.

But Texas has felt very little of the recession, and they are letting my wife work about as many hours she wants per week, She was working five 12 hours shifts per week.

Nurse Shortage is still alive and well around Dallas / Ft. Worth Metroplex.....

They may not be hiring around here but there is still a lot of OT to be worked if one wants it! They rather have ya work OT then hire new staff. I prefer my time off,lol

60 hrs a week..wow...my husband would surely object if I work like that. I work 40hrs a week and even my one day off in between is not enough to recoup. Hope your wife gets good rest during her non-working days..I seldom do OT cause Id rather spend whatever time is left with my husband.

By the way , very nice house. With your wife working 60 hrs per week, hope she gets all the help she needs in maintaining it.

Congratulations on your new home

TCO, because you have that sig pic of the infomercial douchebag that loves to slapchop his nuts, every time I see this infomercial on tv, I think of you, hehe.

Honestly, you are fighting an uphill battle going back and forth trying to convince that that beautiful texas castle with professional photos is really yours. I think others here find some credibility lacking. So pull something out of your hat, and really convince 'em. Let 'em eat some humble pie. A convincing pic is worth 1000 words

Is that the new fad in Dallas - hanging pots and pans on the chandelier?

Instead of that wine rack on the side of the island, you should have opted for a built in wine cooler inside the island. Just my thoughts, my friend!

Great......

Yeah, but these guys are nothing compared to Eros the Plumber; they don't know anything about laying pipes!

Ha ha what an interesting thread.

I have to call some people on envy, or allowing themselves to get baited by a little show-off.

I like for people to accomplish goals. Good on them. I mean some goals are evil like taking over other countries, but getting a really great house is on the OK list for me. Yea, you can work for that and it's cool with me.

And you can be proud of your girl. You can't beat a pinay and anyone thinking otherwise is stupid. Got an open mind on that one folks. Shut up, the Filipinas rule.

At the same time I can happily say you know, it's not my way of doing things and so what. So sure I agree with the people saying you got to put the relationship first. I made a lot of money and blew it on airplanes for the most part. Well, still throw money down the supercub rathole. It's frivolous and stupid but my money, so what.

I seen my wife in such terrible sickness. We thought she was dying. Again and again in the hospital and getting worse each time. All our dreams crashing. I mean we are talking about dying.

And sure, it puts all the material things in perspective. Good God we just rejoice each day we can be together.

But it doesn't mean we have to rain on a parade. The guy has a castle here and y'know by my way of thinking its absurd really in terms of overkill. Haw! Way to go. Like you are a senator or something.

And OK, so his manner can be offensive. Check out Mike Tyson. The guy is a goon but you still have to say he was the most destructive human being that ever stepped into the ring for about five years. You have to respect that.

So be balanced in your approach here. Yea, humility is a virtue. But also y'now we also celebrate success and in a way you have to marvel that as a people how rich we are. That an average american guy can do this. Isn't that something to still say woo-hah about?

It's OK you catch those dinky little fish there too, tallcoolone I mean that really. OMG talk about good eating. You get those STRAIGHT INTO THE PAN. Same day. Some breading you know and good hot grease. As a matter of fact, cook them on the boat if you can. Boats are way fun. Live it up.

We can catch these rock bass here that are about the same size. We use a red jig off really steep rocks and you zero in at the top of the kelp beds. And if you know what you are doing you can catch a hundred in a day. Might as well drop a seine net over. It's hilarious. But then then you go back to the dock and you have all this fish do deal with. It's like "who's idea was this..."

My guess is you live in a place where they have rules about what you can park where and so parking the boat is kind of an issue you have to figure out. Rules on storing vehicles. And zoning and all that. Some people store the boat in the water in a place like texas. Not sure how you are set up there to strike out for fishing. What kind of rigamarole you gotta go through. My recommendation is... as little as possible!

You know the stone is great in that house. I think the wood is best described as "rich" in the cabinets. The interior is elegant. Staircase and all.

Like a big hotel in some of the shots! So way cool.

I have always considered myself as " The King", and finally found a house we fell in love with.

Here are some Pics:

Wow that is such a lovely house! The neighborhood looks so peaceful too. I've never seen a house like that in bay area haha I guess there would be no room for something that big. Congratulations for having a beautiful sweet house!

[tallcoolone 102]

Nice house, pal. But, where are you going to garage the bass boat?
