The most expensive listing I could find is this:
Waterfrontage and a dock.
Sometimes I miss having powers... Oh. Oh! I know what this is! This is peer pressure! Any second now you're gonna make me smoke tobacco and--and have drugs!

The zip code I work in has everything from $5K (ok, so those are the ones that are boarded up and probably don't have a roof) to $1.5 million. It's an old neighborhood.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
Happy Birthday Betsy!!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh, right, I had a question.
Guy e-mailed me and wants me to quote an hourly rate for a contract job. Do I just quote the rate (which I'm pretty attached to), or do I bother justifying it with my years of experience and my soon-to-be graduate degree?

$650K in Seattle will get you this: [link]
Not my neighborhood, but the one I'd buy in if cost were no object.
Here's a house similar though not identical to our rental, not too far from here: [link]
People who read Bitches will know that we've made tentative plans to buy this house directly from our landlord. It'll only work out if we can get a discount from him based on our long residence and the fact this place is a serious fixer-upper (needs a new roof, an earthquake retrofit, major work in the bathroom, etc. etc. etc.)

What is even happening?
Susan, are you going to let him mention a price, first?

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
A condo is what you shop for when a house is really out of your price range.
Or if you hate the fuck out of yard work enough.

I don't know. When DH talked to him last night, we left everything very general--we want to take a few months to get our finances in order, get the place inspected, get an idea of what kind of repairs we'd need to do immediately. The landlord said that was fine, just let him know when we were ready.

Huh. I think I was parked in front of this house [link] last weekend.
