Is the Fed trying to prick the bubble?

I suspect the Fed is behind much of the stories about reconsidering mortgage interest deduction. (If they were really serious about it, they would stop deductions on interest for second (and third…) homes. I think this is basically a made up story, trying to inject a little caution into potential homebuyers who have trouble reading the writing on the wall.

"Wow, this thread even has a long post by Surfer-X talking about an anal pounding and everything"

SurferX sure likes to talk a lot about anal poundings... Hmmm....

21   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:19am  

Hey where is everyone? Better not be over on the damn Huh thread messing up my nice round numbers!

22   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:20am  

"Classic how Jamies post was 2021, the one that screwed up her own perfect 2020 number! LOL"

Oh shut up.

I don't want to risk the wrath of Surfer-X by going there.

24   SQT15   2005 Nov 3, 2:21am  

Now children.

25   SQT15   2005 Nov 3, 2:22am  

My son got a hold of the phone and bumped me off the net for a minute. You don't think he's trying to tell me something do you? Naaah.

26   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:25am  

"The kind of hurt where your body shuts down to only 30 percent functionality,"

I really didn't need to know about your bodily functions shutting down.

" The 18 hours of sleep a day, sleep=metaphor for death pain, Jamie"

I'm so sorry.

27   SQT15   2005 Nov 3, 2:26am  

Your son is displaying talking stick qualities early on in life SQT!

Precocious isn't he? _sniff_ I'm so proud.

28   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:26am  

2024 is the new 2020. Nobody screw it up!

29   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:26am  

Bye newsfreak. But you're on my shit list for blowing 2022.

30   SQT15   2005 Nov 3, 2:27am  

Wouldn't want to mess up your thread count Jamie.

31   SQT15   2005 Nov 3, 2:27am  

Do you get to be on your own shit list for messing up 2020?

32   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:28am  

"I don’t want to risk the wrath of Surfer-X by going there."

Oh, I DARE him. :-P

33   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:29am  

"Do you get to be on your own shit list for messing up 2020?"

I'm always the number one name on my shit list.

34   SQT15   2005 Nov 3, 2:29am  

Jamies thread count is saturated beyond recognition I am afraid…

All that SPHUH.

35   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:30am  

"Jamies thread count is saturated beyond recognition I am afraid…. "

Damn SPHUH.

36   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:31am  

Oh crap SQT beat me to it.

37   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:31am  

"Putrifying to a ripe smell of dread.. "

Damn zombies.

38   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:32am  

LOLOL, it looks kind of like Squirt when you use the lower case letters. Which brings to mind... Oh never mind.

39   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:34am  

"I am not going to let you forget about the pain you have caused me Jamie. You know this, dont you? "

Is this actual pain or feigned pain for the purpose of manipulation? I'm sure it's the second, so please, go ahead, act all hurt and stuff.

40   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:36am  

"Thanks Jamie. Kind of makes up my mind for me. "

Glad to be of service. ;-) SQT looks much better. No suggestion of squirting at all. None.

41   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:37am  

"That’s just it! Its real and just because I have a somewhat tweeaked delivery, nobody believes me. Especially you. Tragic. The HORROR… Sad sad sad… "

You're like the boy who cried SPHUH!

42   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:38am  

We never know when you're serious...I would guess because you are NEVER serious.

43   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:45am  

"I am literally running up and down the stairs to wipe pen off the walls and then come up to the computer to post. Is this devotion or what? "

Ah, the joys of owning a two-year-old.

My daughter is that crazy age too.

44   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:46am  

"No, its not like serious or not serious. Its two sides of the same emoticon. "

Huh?

45   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 2:47am  

Oh, crap. I've pissed away an hour of work time serving the SPHUH. And now I really need to get some work done!

Sphuh for now.

46   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 12:56pm  

LOL! I'm not mad. I can't believe you guys have had a whole conversation about me being mad. Such caring on this thread. I'm so glad there are people concerned about my well-being. ;-)

I was just joking about the uneven number thing, newsfreak. Really! Do I seem like the kind of person who would get my panties in a wad about someone messing up 2020 or whatever it was? I mean, I was the person who messed up 2020, wasn't I?

Annnyway, I have no idea what you were ranting about above, Jack.

All this confusion! all because I'm not using enough smiley faces!

:-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

47   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 1:28pm  

Jack is kind of volatile, newsfreak. You never know what crazy thing will set him off.

Sensitive artiste.

48   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 1:30pm  

I just asked him to change his name back because I really was forgetting who he was. I was somehow confusing him with seattledude or someone. I actually forgot about that whole Mr. Right/Surfer X battle, because I fled the thread when it happened.

49   Jamie   2005 Nov 3, 1:31pm  

Oh, I forgot, smiley faces:

:-) :-) :-) :-)

50   SJ_jim   2005 Nov 4, 2:53pm  

Heyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Well, the "substance" thread took it to the "jaberwocky" thread today, huh?
I think I spent too much time on this stuff today...now I'll need to go into work tomorrow to make up for it. stupdid!stupid!stupid!

51   SJ_jim   2005 Nov 4, 2:53pm  

Not that jabberwocky isn't substantial... :)

52   SJ_jim   2005 Nov 4, 3:00pm  

"Jabberwocky". One of those words that's fun to say. But then if you keep saying it, it begins to sound foreign. Then, you start having a hard time pronouncing it...your mouth just starts seizing up on you. Or is that just me? Kind of like "marshmallow."

53   SJ_jim   2005 Nov 4, 3:20pm  

Hey, now, jabberwocky has a much more positive connotation than...ahhh, drivel, for example. Plus, jabberwocky is most certainly a skill--perhaps even a gift...I often find myself lacking in the ability to jabberwock. :(

54   SJ_jim   2005 Nov 4, 4:53pm  

Yes the blog time stamp is screwed up. I'm posting this at exactly 12:04 AM...

55   SJ_jim   2005 Nov 4, 4:54pm  

...and it stamped it as 12:53 AM. So, about 50 minutes ahead.

56   SJ_jim   2005 Nov 4, 5:08pm  

How does this happen with today's tek-nolo-g?
Kind of like earlier tonight...my friend called my cell phone from his cell phone, and instead got some financial-type business. He asked her what the # was & it was (of course) a different number in a different area code. He called me again & it got through. An hour later, he called me & got the same business that he'd gotten earlier....

57   Jamie   2005 Nov 5, 12:50am  

I'm here! But not.

There's something about this new home in the prick thread. Bad feng shui or something. Or maybe the gluttony it took to reach Huh 2000 has left me feeling like, well, a glutton.

Or maybe it's reading that new thread, which made my brain feel fuzzy and stale, like an old M&M stuck in the couch, for reasons I can't quite explain.

Regardless, I'll try to check in frequently, but for the next weeks I imagine I'll be around less often. We're doing a long weekend trip next weekend to San Diego, and I've got a book due in 5 weeks. Must crack the whip.

Sphuh for now.

58   Peter P   2005 Nov 5, 5:04am  

161 comments? What is that? :)

Hah! Lots of LOL on this one...maybe cause I know what you mean!

Well at least you guys nicely transitioned from Huh to Sphuh...I was fading fast when that was occurring. :(
