Jack, yes, you posted earlier. I saw that. I replied.
Yes, I was just checking out my blog, LOL. Saw your new posts too SQT. LOL about Starship. BLEH!
This multiple blog thing is getting confusing.
Sooooo, how's that housing bubble thing going?
"Im walking on eggs when I post on your blog Jamie, so as not to be too weird."
That's okay. All my friends are weird. I wouldn't want them as friends otherwise.
"Uh, speaking of weird. I think I’d quality. "
LOL, I know this is a typo, but yes, SQT, you qualify as a quality weird friend.
My Ummmmm... was in response to Jack's weird comment, but the timing screwed up.
I need a shot of Jack Daniels. No, three shots...no, four. In quick succession. THEN I'll be set.
Hi SQirT, Willis, Jack!
Well the Huh? thread officially crashed my computer. I refreshed the browser & it just...froze. Waited 5 minutes...no change. Couldn't do anything! I had to do a hard reset to get out of it. I might have to...sniff...abandon that poor thread.
"No, just a shot of Jack!"
Oh sweet bejeezus, I walked right into that one, LOL.
Ha....four shots of Jack.
You don't know what you've asked for...can't wait to see what Jack comes up with.
"Will I be a better writer if I do a few shots Jamie? Hell, it couldn’t hurt. "
Possibly, but that's a slippery slippery slope I'd stay the hell away from. :-)
Say it ain’t so Jim!
I think the "big freeze" was punishment for my abandoning the thread a little before...whenever ago...just before SPHUH.
"Well the Huh? thread officially crashed my computer. I refreshed the browser & it just…froze. Waited 5 minutes…no change. Couldn’t do anything! I had to do a hard reset to get out of it. I might have to…sniff…abandon that poor thread. "
I really think we should lay it to rest. Yes. Abandon Huh. I have a special affection for New Thread...
I don’t know Jamie. I could be one of those suffering, alcoholic, supposedly brilliant artistic types who loses all talent when sober.
Okay, who can name some (I can't, except...wasn't hemingway a drunk?). Sorry I'm somewhat illiteracyate.
"Errr, has there been posting on new thread? "
Not that I am aware of. I just meant it would make a nice future home... In case of a bubble. OR somethign.
"I don’t know Jamie. I could be one of those suffering, alcoholic, supposedly brilliant artistic types who loses all talent when sober."
Exactly.
Yes, Hemingway was an addict. Who else? I dunno. Was Hunter S Thompson? He sure wrote like he was an addict. Ummm, Edgar Allan Poe?
Oh yeah, and who was that famous poet who wrote while he was on drugs all the time...errrr. Ummmm... I think about half the famous poets qualify.
I think having go to "archives" to get to it could've given it a dank-ish feel.
LOL. "screaming poop"...I can't stand those...I wish they'd just shut up.
And of course Rick James' brilliant (not) Mary Jane song. Well, musicians are in a class of addicts all their own.
"I have been baiting her all night now and she has not responded."
I'm tired of being bated, that's all. Not by you, specifically..but I'm not a fish. :-P
"Hey now that’s morose, Jack:"
Yikes! Finally a piece of art as freaky as the Gates of Hell.
All Londoners, not just the artists, are on drugs:

They must have some really wacked out aquatic life.
I’m crying here.
Are you thinking...paint...?
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
" Im trying my best to bring up your uh spirits…. Im sorry "
You have nothing to apologize for. I'm glad you're being yourself. I'm just devoid of energy tonight. Nothing witty (or posing as witty) to say.
I'm gonna check out for the night. Ciao, my peeps (why did I just say that?).
Okay, calling it a night, two. G'night my po --I mean -- peeps (thanks to Jamie for that one!).
Some humor from Allah :)

R Patrick,
Renting is better in THIS market..........there may be landlords who increase their rent to afford their suicide loans,.......some people may stay and help them pay for it....we all have choices (at least us renters). As the housing market weakens and their investments turn to shit, they aren't going to be in a posiition to raise rents out of fear that they don't want to lose their tennent (they may not find another)..... I know a few people who have vacancies for several months now, but because these people don't really depend on the extra income (now anyway), it is not a problem for them. Rent is controlled by supply and demand...Period! We don't want to pay their price, we leave. I'm sure there are a whole lot more vacancies than rentees after this house buying orgy........... especially here on LI were many have put in an apartment just so they could afford to pay their mortgage. The cost of living here on LI is too high as it is, if people (the ones who haven't already left) are going to be forced to pay more rent, a great many of them will leave.....This is one great thing about renting...mobility..............and if you don't like your neighbor, you aren't stuck with him/her.

Many of us have been here awhile, and while we think housing is an important topic (we wouldn't all gather her otherwise) we do digress quite a bit.
One topic that has come up time and time again is the issue of dual income families, and the rise in housing costs that have occured because so many familes now have two incomes instead of one.
We've discussed the role of the woman in the workplace and at home, so perhaps it's time to digress a little more.
-- Have dual incomes been a big factor in housing prices?
-- Do those of us who live on one income end up renters as a result?
--Are we better or worse off now that the majority of households have two incomes?
--Have the cost of other goods and services risen due to the extra income, or can that be blamed on inflation?
In other words, are we as a society in the same place economically as we would be if we stayed in a predominantly one income society?
