wingnut 0 #1 August 13, 2005 okay so my girfriend is gona come up to visit in the near future and i have a problem..... where to stay... can't stay at my house, my parents wouldn't like that.. ( so so need to move out but the money i save on rent is payng off credit cards) so here is my dilema.... stay at a more expensive hotel in town near alot of entertainment and bars or stay at a cheaper hotel (but still not bad) away from town and just have to drive there after we are done hangningout around town..... what to do, what to do... and for those that say stay in a tent at the dz, naw, i'd rather spend some time with her, than a bunch of smelly skydivers and a nice shower would be good too.... oh air conditioning, that is nice too... ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy9o8 2 #3 August 13, 2005 1. Got a spare bedroom in the house? If not, be a gentleman and put her up in yours, and sleep on the living room couch. 2. Still worried about what you parents will say? Well, it's their house. I don't know your age, but even if you started jumping at 18, 7 yrs in the sport makes you at least 25. It's your choice to be living where, as a grown adult, you're not free to have anyone you wish sleep in your own bedroom. You choose to live with them, you dealt the cards, you play the hand. 3. She's your lady. Spend the bucks and put her up in a good hotel. She deserves no less. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bbarnhouse 0 #4 August 13, 2005 Quote3. She's your lady. Spend the bucks and put her up in a good hotel. She deserves no less. I would have to agree with this one Wingi. Additionally, since you have limited time with your lady friend, you might as well make it memorable. Do an online search for hotels in the area. There are often really good deals that won't break the bank Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwampThing 0 #5 August 13, 2005 Quote need to move out but the money i save on rent is payng off credit cards *** You asked - Put off her visit for a while, take the grand you were going to blow on hotels and entertainment and either put THAT on your credit cards or use it as a deposit on a studio apartment. Dude! You're a train conductor in Ohio for God sake! (if you bio is accurate) The reason you live with mom & dad is you spend money on bullshit instead of acting like a grown up and taking care of business! edited to add: Sorry to sound so harsh, but DAMMMNNNN!

kelel01 1 #9 August 13, 2005 I'd get the less expensive one. She's a skychick. We're used to staying in crappy motels. And Swamp Thing, take a chill pill. Living with your parents saves a lot of money, so you can afford to do other little things AND pay off debt. I did it before, and I was living better AND paying down my debt more than I am now.

Amanda965 0 #19 August 13, 2005 I would say go for the Easton or Polaris area. There are fun things there and most likely you will pay a little less than you would pay for downtown if that is what you are thinking of. You two better call me to hangout for at least a little bit ** There are alot of hotels (nicer ones) at CrossWoods too on route 23 that would be relatively close to stuff.Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wingnut 0 #24 August 14, 2005 QuoteI would say go for the Easton or Polaris area that's what i was thinking..... if i say anymore i'll give it away though, she reads these forums too....... but will definatly give ya a call... ya like fado's pub at easton? that's one of the places i was plnning on going..... and to whom ever said it, it's not the same spending money in town or not, if we both go ot of town thenthere is one more plane ticket to buy, the plan is to save money living with the parents not live like a hermit with them...... swampthing, sorry to sort of flame ya it is thatit just came across that you were making it sound like spending the weekend with my gf was a bulshit way to spend money........ ______________________________________ "i have no reader's digest version" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
