You can order a second cookie for the top, so you can eat it like a Sbarro's pizza sandwich.

Me, Mrs. SLB and the boys were vacationing with K4 and her numerous Italian family members. I guess it was somewhere in Europe judging by the architecture. At one point we attend a real estate auction where I went in halvsies on a house in Malibu with Bob Newhart. Then there was a boat ride on the ocean where there were hundreds of sea turtles. The next day we at the beach and I was snorkeling where I come upon an unexploded grenade. As I get closer though, I notice that it is some sort of firework but still unexploded. I grab it with a towel and toss it on the beach where it blew up in a pretty display of sparkles.
I would too.Conversely, when I have sex dreams and wake up, I never check to see if my wife is playing with me since it's an impossibility apparently.
I didn't know what to expect, really.Ignoramus said:

Accidentally ordered a gluten free Detroit style once...one of the worst things I've ever eatenThey make a very good gluten free pizza.One night a week bottles of wine are half priceOfficer Pete Malloy said:Decent food (gigantic portions), not too shabby selection of their own beer, lots of TVs. Not worth going out of your way for but good place to watch a game.krista4 said:Honestly I didn't really look at what it was. Just the combination of pizza and cookie made meAaron Rudnicki said:. Sorry for disappointment.
And yes, I know I'm setting myself up with this question, but what the hell is a BJ's?

From what I understand at 37 weeks there's not much you can do. Sometimes at 34 weeks or so you can try acupuncture or chiropractic methods to turn (but I think earlier you said that didn't work). I'm kind of skittish about anesthesia myself, but cesarean is such a routine matter. But good luck trying that line on your wife.
GL GB. It'll all be fine I'm sure. Also, congrats on your first, it's a an exciting time so stay focused on the great things that are going on and try not to dwell on the negative ####. Easier said than done.

"Oh, man, I went there and got food poisoning."
Repeat with the most horrible thing that can happen to you at that type of place or doing that kind of thing, every time.
"Bungee jumping? You should try skydiving. I love it!"
"My mother died skydiving. Tomorrow will be five years."
"I found a quarter on the sidewalk!"
"I found five dollars on the sidewalk!"
"I don't pick up paper money. I once got e. coli poisoning from a bill that was left on the ground that I picked up. Ended up in the hospital for a week. Doctor told me that picking up paper money is like running your hand over a homeless diabetic's butt crack."

Just all the little things that aren't exactly like what we wrote down when describing our dream house like our bedroom being closer to the boys than we wanted, smaller play room than we expected, etc.

Figured I'd better post here. 
OK, without knowing what you're freaking out about...
Remember that moving is one of the most stressful life events. I remember seeing a list on which only death of a spouse, losing everything in a fire, eating cantaloupe, and the Blackhawks losing came before it in terms of life stressors. Unless you're a robot or a soulless ginger, it's natural to feel some amount of panic, which will evidence itself in different ways for different people. AngryWife showed her stress early on by crying, and you're just now getting to the point where the stress is affecting you, but you are likely handling it by projecting that stress into finding things wrong with the new house. This is probably heightened for someone like you who hasn't moved a lot and has a very stable life without these types of stresses arising very often.
I'd suggest writing out a list of what is concerning you. Look at the items on the list: for those things that can be addressed, address them. For those that can't, consider whether they are or should be deal-breakers for you. Most things can be fixed and are not worth stressing over, but figure out if there are any that don't fall into that category. For instance, some people might stress that they are spending too much. I think you said it is twice as costly as the one you're selling. I get the idea you are pretty conservative and are not Oating it up (sorry, GBOtis), but crunch through the numbers again and remind yourself of that fact.
Once you've taken a logical and rational spin through your list, I suspect you'll find nothing that should be panicking you and that you can't address (and if there are, then you know what you should do). At that point, think instead of what it is about the house that you like the most. If it's the yard, for example, picture yourself with a beer out there, watching the kids run around and not kill each other. If it's lack of proximity to Abe, for instance, picture him stopping for gas 17 times on his way to visit. Unfortunately I don't think you can completely get rid of your concerns because it is so natural to stress over something like this, but you can get through it as you get closer day by day to achieving that picture you've just put in your mind.
And remember, if you need some stress relief...oh, nevermind.

I did. Apparently she already had that for lunch this week. So, I said since I don't know what you ate for lunch this week then you decide.

When we bought our (first) house in Nicaragua, I had put together a matrix of items we wanted in a house and their weightings, which then produced a numerical score for each house. Then we bought one that didn't achieve the most heavily weighted criterion.
I think my longer bit of advice to you still fits, though I wrote it before seeing this post.

One of my customers has a new office manager and I really needed to meet her since she started two weeks ago. I have the boys today but figured since it was in a hospital, it would be okay to leave them out in the hall to play vid-ya games while I was inside. Thoughts?
After that, I hit the office and then it was onto Sam's to get some booze. So I grab two 30 packs of Bud, 2 1.75L of Jack and a 1.75L of Skyy. Thinking how cool of me this must look having two little kids and nothing but booze but I'm wearing a shirt and tie and Independence Day is next week so #### it. I'm in a hurry to get out of there so I hit the self check out even though I know I'm going to need somebody to authorize purchases. Score, there's a gal that just happens to be walking by. So I'm scanning and hit the Skyy twice and can't figure out how to cancel it off. So I pay, leave my boys with a cart full of booze (Thoughts?) and hurry to grab another bottle of vodka. I'm make record time there and back and we're leaving a packed store and I'm busy trying to keep the boys from getting run over by other carts when I hear this *cling* and dozens of people in unison exclaim "oh no!". I look down and one of the bottles of vodka hit something and had the bottom break out spilling vodka freaking everywhere. Dylan is laughing while Calvin and I wanted to crawl into a hole. "Don't worry about it" the nice lady from Sam's says. "We'll get you another bottle of vodka!" as dozens of people stared at us. I'm pretty sure we entered some sort of wormhole or time vortex because it felt like it took several hours before they got another bottle so we could leave. I'm a helluva father.
ETA
After we get in the car, I say "hey who wants some new tennis shoes?!". They both say they do so I told them that would be the next stop. Then I told them that I didn't see any reason why their mother needed to know about that whole incident. I think I bought their silence, Dylan's cool, we'll see about Cal....

Buying a house is a PIA. The house I'm in now, I love. But when I was looking to buy it, I had 2 criteria that were deal breakers. It had to have 3 bedrooms and no mello Roos taxes. What did I buy? A 2 bedroom with mello Roos. but it's perfect for us, 2 master suites, nice yard, especially for south OC, a driveway, which is a luxury here, and I have no one within 50 feet of me on all four sides, complete miracle for south OC. And for good measure it was the most expensive 2bd house that didn't have an ocean view. 
The moral of the story? If you like the house and the positives out weigh the negatives, you're going to be ok. No house is perfect, and k4's advice of picturing yourself there is good stuff.
