... so I bought a house. {"name":"602559","src":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/f\/3f72098ca3b87da2dbe717b3521f86db.jpg","w":800,"h":600,"tn":"\/\/djungxnpq2nug.cloudfront.net\/image\/cache\/3\/f\/3f72098ca3b87da2dbe717b3521f86db"} Actually I just placed an offer on it, but I know it will be accepted as long as the title and everything is clean (e.g., no mortgages against the house that the bank didn't know about, etc...). I look forward to the day I can sit on my porch with my shotgun, shooting at all the "squirrels" that walk past. |

Don't forget the moose ("but first we get moose and squirrel!"). They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Actually it adds a whole new level to "get off my lawn" when it has some buckshot behind it! They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

Historical note: Refrigerators used to be placed on the front porches of houses because it was a sign of wealth, and therefor something to flaunt to your neighbors. -----sig: |

Quote: You're getting Dish Network!?!? No, the people he's buying from had it. That's why they have to sell the house. They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |

It's got a chimney so presumably a fireplace - does it get cold in your part of the world ? My Mum and her (second) husband were just in Chicago for 10 days. They had a good time. People told me it'd be cold for them but they didn't mention it.

It has no fireplace. The chimney is just a vent for the central heating. I live northwest of Chicago, and yes it gets very cold in the winter. |

I kind of worry about piccolo. I'm skeptical about ML buying this house... If it was cheap enough I could maybe see it I guess, but it doesn't look like much. Probably leaks a lot of energy and it's small anyway so you don't get a lot with it. -- acc.js | al4anim - Allegro 4 Animation library | Allegro 5 VS/NuGet Guide | Allegro.cc Mockup | Allegro.cc <code> Tag | Allegro 4 Timer Example (w/ Semaphores) | Allegro 5 "Winpkg" (MSVC readme) | Bambot | Blog | C++ STL Container Flowchart | Castopulence Software | Check Return Values | Derail? | Is This A Discussion?

It cost as much as a PS3, two glowing wand sticks, and a dusty keyboard. |

Bah, I've owned my own home for years. Poor ML will have mortgage payments while I'm sitting back and enjoying my huge, totally paid off lawn and my nice, totally paid off home.

I'd change the blue though, it's a bit of a gay looking shade. British Racing green would look nice. Neil. wii:0356-1384-6687-2022, kart:3308-4806-6002. XBOX:chucklepie |

I like the color scheme. Don't go with purple. A house in my old neighborhood was painted purple, the only way to describe it was "purple gothic nail polish". The couple who painted it wanted to piss off the neighbors. The owners were a lesbian couple while the neighbors were Catholic priests.

Unfortunately I'm not getting a loan, but even if I were, the payments would be less than rent. Why? The rent is too damn high. I don't want a large lawn. It just means more grass to mow. Neil Walker said: I'd change the blue though, it's a bit of a gay looking shade. Agreed. |

Looks like one of those "wooden" houses, which just seem like an overgrown shed from my English perspective. Though there is no feeling in the world, like being able to close one's own door on it, so to speak... Hope it works out well for you. www.justanotherturn.com |

3M's purple looks suspiciously close to the Magic Oink! But British Racing Green? How about Corvette Yellow with a big fat black racing stripe? Vroom vroom! They all watch too much MSNBC... they get ideas. |
