[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

It's good to be Gud, eh?

Not bad, for not!Gud.

The play on words makes everything better, of course. At least for me.

So, in ... 12 minutes, I have a preliminary phone interview w/ a tech company that does consulting. Have I mentioned that phone interviews always make me super-nervous? They do.

Jilli, you will rock the interview house. Calm thoughts. Calm.

Em is sick. She threw up actual food last night around 10:30. Was up and down all night and stayed home from school with Joe. She is running a slight fever and is a little congested. I imagine I'm getting it from her. I have a sore throat and am feeling all achy. I am hungry, but nothing sounds good cause my throat is all hurty.

Sounds like the crud that felled us in December.

Love the Portland houses, but I can see that my idea of reasonable is completely out of whack.

The really sad thing is that those amounts wouldn't buy a shack in Seattle.

If it wasn't for that pesky having to earn a living thing, somewhere cheaper would sound like heaven.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

~ma to Jilli!

And, babble away to us now to knock it out of your system.

Plei, I'm madly in love with the bungalow (#2). In DC, the median price for a one-bedroom condo is $279K. sigh.

And Aimee - Alton Brown on your boobs? Lucky him!

and frankly, that's on the low end. Stuff below that is in bad parts of town and/or old with no amenities like washer/dryer or air conditioning.

Yup - I checked out my chances of buying this summer. Unless I'm willing to relocate to the outer 'burbs - double my commute and seriously increase the transit cost - I'm going to stay a renter. Although my building's going condo ... and even with the insider price I can't afford to buy (according to the developer, one bedrooms with minimal improvements will average $350K with a condo fee of $515).

Todd, you should buy if for no other reason that you can make a profit on the sale. I find it odd that it would be so much for someone who already lives there, that's as much as a new place will cost. You can maybe make a deal with someone to front for them, they pay a little less than market value, but you make a profit. Dont' forget, it's in the developer's interest to inflate the price so that you agree to move.

Hee! Thankfully, I did not babble at the nice HR boy. The job he talked to me about was a site manager gig, which would involve writing, editing, and working with project managers on several different projects. It sounded interesting, and it would be different than the contractor feast-or-famine cycle.
