Oh great, Jack has retired to the shed with his wireless connection and may never come out again.
You're being awfully...something-or-other Jack. Not your usual self. Whassup with that?
Now you're sounding slightly more like yourself...but still something's missing.
Hmmm, you see what I mean, SQT? He sounds, dare I say, "morose."
Sit down. Tell Dr. Jamie all about it.
I think we've got too many conversations going in too many places. I keep forgetting all the places I"m supposed to check. :-P
Sorry to hear you're sick, SQT. We had that cold last week. Don't delete the crap! Resist! :-) Good for you slogging through it anyway.
"Im just saying I wanted you to have your day."
My day to what? Talk to the wall? Please. As if I did anything but waste my time, waste everyone's time, and waste valuable blog space.
"I used a sitcom line on the “huh†thread because I wasn’t feeling clever enough to come up with my own line."
I just saw that and LOL'd. But I had to hurry back here for fear of upsetting Jack.
"God try to be polite around here and get nothing but FLACK!"
Sorry, I like when you're being completely impolite. No, really.
Just keep the can opener away from the goat, okay? And the lubricant too, unless you want a real disaster on your hands.
" just became exhausted at leaving a post after yours… is all Jamie. Just the same thing that SQT said, thats all. "
It was just bad timing is all! I wasn't flitting. I was maybe darting around, but not flitting.
"Pinging and zipping and dinking and lurking…"
Well if I was elusive, it was only because I was feeling misunderstood and maligned. Didn't want to hang out here too long in one place or risk finding myself under fire.
"The Fairfax election! Doesnt anybody read my posts anymore? sheesh. "
I knew what you were talking about. Go greenies! What time are the results in?
"under fire… you mean on other threads without you knowing? OR IN HERE! LOL "
Well there are several threads where I must be especially careful what I say. What's so funny???
"You usually laugh this stuff off so easily!"
I do up to a point, past which I stop laughing. :-P
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.

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?
