So I'm longer in the tooth now nearing 50. Got 3 kids. My intention when my kids finish high school is to go back to the small towns from whence I came. City living is so goddamn expensive now. I can buy 50 acres for slightly more than what I pay for a 30*150 lot with a semi-detached home.

I'm gonna Christopher Robin my life when I nope out of IT and with luck build houses for my kids and build a homestead.

This is the way folks. Protect you and yours the best you can.

    Unrelated, but:

    from whence

    Did you know “whence” means “from where,” so it’s not really necessary to say “from whence?” It’s not a mistake, exactly, because “from whence” has been around forever and is considered acceptable usage. “Whence” without the “from” seems, though, to be more correct in a sense, and has certainly been more common for a long time.

    Decent discussion with interesting links: https://english.stackexchange.com/q/10906
