(Would you like to be called “Ms. SAUCE”, Astrid? Hmmmmmmmmm?)

Now Jack. That's just uncalled for.

I think we've all run into Marinara type people in our personal lives, and it's hard not to wish people like that get burned when there is a reckoning. But, by and large, the people out there buying homes these last couple of years are just being taken advantage of by unscrupulous lenders pushing NAAVLP's, and no one wishes them HARM. I am very uncomfortable with the idea of a massive crash that could really hurt the economy. If I could wish for anything it would be a correction that forces lenders to tighten their standards so that people who don't know what they are doing don't get in over their heads anymore.

Ahh, life as a homeowner with 300K in liquid assets, and a nice SFH in The Marina is so wonderful.

You are not going get us jealous. You may try but you will fail.

I admire Soros/Buffett and am perheps jealous of someone who owns a Gulfstream G550. From your comments, I guess that you still fly commercial. Work at it. :)

Rented Lol.

You were not directing the language worries at me were you?

Not at all. Language is actually a non-issue. We do need some f???-words flying around occasionally or this will be too PG-13, right?

Jack
It's nice to know you're not a fixer-upper.

Actually though Peter, I NEVER stop being amazed at your INCREDIBLY unshakable patience. Are you that way all the time? or is it something you developed professionally, and you are just faking it!

What do you expect me to do? I lose patience only when I am waiting for food.

You sound just like my 19 month old son. Come to think of it, so does Marinara, but my son is more articulate.

Not more articulate than you Peter. ;)

Never, Never feed the trolls. Baiting ok.

If you feed them, they keep coming back.

Blah Blah Blah, Yadda Yadda Yadda. Nothing new to say...
Uh Oh. I'm giving negative attention. Bad QT. I'm feeding the beast.

Jack

In some way's I'm always on your side. I certainly respect you.

I didn't know it was going to be fairy tale night on the blog. I wish I had known, I could've asked HARM for pointers and everything. Damn.

I NEVER NEVER believe braggarts. If Marinara is God's gift at 28, why's he here with all us "losers" on a Saturday night. Where are all the women panting to get their hands on his "prime real estate?"

And no, no matter what answer Marinara gives to that question, I won't buy it either. No credibility.

I guess he'll have to rent a good night's sleep.

Night Astrid

Fun having you along tonight.

I thought ALWAYS ON TRANSMIT was TWIT.

Jack
Only one beer. You're probably a couple of six packs behind Marinara. Have I been feeding the Trolls? All that negative attention, I know. I should know better.

Jack
I hear ya. Fog obscures everything. Even one's thinking apparently.

AC on all day. Still hotter than hades.

You know, I never thought I'd say this. But I'm really looking forward to Surfer-X's response to tonights blog. It should be really interesting.

Astrid was right, things have slowed down a bit. Did TWIT check out too?

Just an observation: the notion that someone who writes at the level that MP does can own a home at 28 without massive parental (and possibly governmental) intervention is, like, preposterous or something.

And I say this as a 28 year old. Seriously.

Like, Oh My Gah, Cheers,

I've been saying all night that mummy and daddy must be involved. So far no rebuttals to that effect. But would anyone believe Marinara anyway?

That is, if one believes there is an iota of truth in Marinara's ravings, the only explaination is mummy and daddy.

I LOVE Surfer-X’s posts!

I'm learning to appreciate the finer points of Surfer-X's rants.

I am sitting here, hoping that HARM is working on a new fable to include the dearly deluded Marinara. If not, I'll have to brush off my story telling technique, but I think I could do it as well. I mean, what do I cast him as? Pinocchio?

I remember a really terriffic reply you had to one of Surfer-X's rants that went a tad too far. I really thought you had a good grasp of how to speak his *language*. ;)

Oops. I meant to say I DON"T think I could do the story as well as HARM.

Not sure at all. But the ego seems to be male. I mean women definately don't have the need to compensate that men sometimes do. And boy, is this guy (I thinkk) compensating for something.

Outside of school, I’m a totally unhealthy recluse!

I'm so surprised. (really) You seem like a people person to me.

Jack
Do you think we should hang it up for the night. We seem to be way off topic and I'm not sure anyone else is around. It's fun talking to you, but this is a slow way to do it.

"But would anyone believe Marinara anyway?"

Yeah. Particularly in this thread, the writing has become so absurdly poor that it simply becomes implausible.

In any event, g'night. Golf tomorrow.

_mr burns voice_: excellent

Cheers,

As surfer-X would say. Bazzzactly.

Night Jack.

I don't know. Marinara has quite a bit of free time for an investment banker... oh well. Need another thread again.

You can disagree with me all you want. You can’t be all bad if you actually LIKE exposed concrete, metal and glass!

My wife wants a normal house though. We may need to do half and half. :)

Imagine a house that looks like a craftman from the northern elevation and a post-modern blob of concrete and steel from the southern elevation... interesting, no?

I just cruised craigslist, I like to look and see what the rental market is doing. It seems like there are a lot of condo's appearing for rent these days. Naturally the rents being asked for are rather high, as the speculator/owners have obviously paid too much. I wonder how long they'll be able to hold out before they have to start dropping rents.

Not very long. A few months at most. :)

It is a weird market because the fundamental demand of housing (as consumption) is not very strong.

SactoQt, have you tried housingmaps.com?
