Summary

Today’s expression and dialog: (place) is a dump Let’s go eat at Earl’s Restaurant. No way. The place is a dump! But their hamburgers are SO good. Wha… Yeah, they really are tasty! Do you like moving? I do NOT like moving, but EVERY year I end up moving. No joke. Since 2008, I have lived in 6 different places. And...my guess, I will move again at the end of this year or the beginning of next year. Money has been the biggest reason--working online only is NOT an easy place to make money!! But my next move will be because I need to escape the desert!! I need snow^^ My biggest fear of moving...hmm...finding a place that is a disaster. The plumbing doesn't work good, the heater/air conditioner doesn't work good. Loud neighbors. Too much traffic. CRIME... That is a major worry. If you find a place with TOO many bad things--what WORD can we use? I'll teach you today! Stay safe and clean^^Coach Shane Please subscribe on iTunes and get this podcast EVERY DAY!
