Yeah, put me in that camp as well. Your angry funny uncle who'd go off on the smallest stuff, and held very specific grudges, but generally shook it off and moved on.
But the stubborn self-immolation at the end was really something.
edit: I put the jail bait photo shoot in the melt-down phase
Wait, what? Is that a typo?Quote:

I wouldn't have taken it, much less posted it, but it was hardly pedophilia and they were definitely not jail bait.
Accusations of racism and misogyny, I dunno. I don't recall seeing that but would say that now is a little late to be calling it out if it was there and I don't recall seeing that either.
I think we are in a similar spot and after skiing with Benny a day, I liked him. He never annoyed me and if he was on a weird tangent, I skipped over it like I will for most anyone not on ignore. We all poat something that annoys someone. Anyways, I will let this go now.Quote:

It’s not something that a nice day of skiing would excuse for me. The “oh it must just be because he wasn’t one of the cool kids” is just being in denial.

Anyone have real estate info to share? Been following the local market for a couple years and for the first time am seeing multiple houses get relisted with lower prices (over the last month)
Are they planning to buy a new place in the same area with the proceeds? Because if they are, not walking away with stupid money seems to be a legit concern.Quote:

To be fair, there are numerous examples in the animal kingdom of homes being status symbols (Bower birds, etc). People are ultimately slaves to our biology.Quote:

Well I, for one, am bummed I missed this little kerfuffle.Quote:

so many of these people think they can sell a house for two million with no garage or shitty one you can only get one car in with finishes from 1994 roof that has five or so years left on it and windows that are worthless
buyers are getting smart and aren't going to dump big money for shit holes
prices are starting to drop very very slowly and very little but they are not coming back down to earth quick enough
but people think they still have something special ooops if you bought in the past two years
it's alot like 2006 someone sells a pimp condo for $800.00 sq ft so the neighbors shithole straight out of 1985 thinks he can get 800 sq ft and guess what some dumb ass buys is
I blame realtors
they are fading like car salesman
Most people looking for multi-million dollar homes, want a minimum of 3 car garage. At least around here in Bend. You have to have room for all the outdoor toys and/or exercise area. Toured a $2.5 million open house that had a separate gym in the house, but only a 2 car garage. It's been on the market for 3 months. Plus it doesn't have a master walk-in closet. WTF? Who builds a $2 million plus house and doesn't have a walk in closet in the main suite?
