Guilty as charged.

I will never get used those being called that here (the only place Ive ever heard the term).
for obvious reasons, yes.

Im far too easily distracted by such things
:blush:

God damn I wish I had your metabolism.

So I won't miss the game, I'll miss most of the game.

Leaving from RSM at 5pm I am going to take the 241 to Chapman and come in that way. Unless someone has a better idea that doesn't involve calling in sick because at this point I'd have to have an ambulance come by the office first to prove I was that sick.

i think I'm gonna be sick....

Ugh... the foreclosure market is hitting my complex (and therefore our equity) HARD. Bad enough someone's on the market at $358,000 when the average is around $370,000... now someone's in a short sale situation, and they've got only 3 months before a notice of default is filed, so they listed their home at $325,000!!! :mad:

18 months ago, the *average* price for the neighborhood was like $400,000. "You're killing me, Larry!"

But seriously, we have to refi our home in 2 years. I need values to go the other way!

(and I'm pissed that I don't have the money to snatch up another unit myself, because... damn!)

As a non-homeowner, I am quite happy about this. I knew it was inevitable for the short term and plan on buying within the next 6-12 months (which is the time-frame I believe we will be seeing the market bottom out)

sad but true. I blame a lot of it on the new fangled 'interest only' financing that admittedly got more people into the market, sadly ones who really couldnt afford it and didnt know/didnt understand/werent paying attention to the pitfalls of such a deal.

as far as 'bottom out', Im not sure where the 'bottom' will be on that...although I have doubts prices will fall terribly far. however, I wouldnt mind snagging a nice rental property for myself.
