Oy.

What's up, vw?

I've been looking a lot in Shoreline and somewhat in Lynnwood, though I'd be much happier with the Shoreline schools. It may just be that more condos/townhouses are being built in Shoreline than before, and they're just naturally cheaper than houses.

And it's really hard for me to believe that there's no bubble in the Seattle area because it still seems outrageously expensive compared to where I've lived before. Granted, Seattle has much higher quality of life than Birmingham. But Philly is a perfectly fine place with all the amenities.

What's up, vw?

Lawyer thinks it's gonna be about $2,000-$4,000 to fix this little problem. Guess who needs to try to find some other options first?

Damn. I hate it when people get to continue to be assholes because doing anything about it is so expensive, whether in money or hassle.

VW, have you written MSN yet? Because I'm betting they'll do the right thing, and pronto.

vw, what Betsy said. In general, if you write to the ISPs, maybe they can make them take down your work, as a violation of the TOS?

DH's verdict on the house:

But dear, it's on the Delridge/White Center line. Her high school would be Chief Sealth, which is almost as bad as Rainier Beach. And it's in a dead spot -- there's nothing for three miles.

Now, there are decent parts of White Center (some grit but no gang-banging), but this isn't in one of them.

I hate this whole process, I really do. It's not like we're all that poor. It shouldn't be this hard to find acceptable housing for a family of three.

I'm actually waiting to hear from the website where my poem is allowed to be posted. I really think they should contact MSN (and so did the lawyer). If I don't hear from them, or if they refuse to help me, then that's my next step.

Yep, they will.
