Look, you got a little stabbed the other day. That's bound to make anyone a mite ornery.

Spike's Bitches 30: Going on Thirteen  

[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.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

As it is, it's a good way to get a sense of what's going on in your neighborhood.

Mine is the 2nd most expensive in SF w/r/t home values. Oy.

Okay, Zillow says we paid 2k more than we ought for this house, and that one not a block away went for 20k less. I might not ought to have looked, though it looks like an awesome resource for homebuyers.

Hil, did your doctor give you exercises to improve things?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Hil, did your doctor give you exercises to improve things?

Nope. I think tendonitis is more of a "don't move" thing than an exercise thing. The brace I'm supposed to be wearing pretty much stops my wrist from bending, so that the tendons can rest while the inflamation goes down.

The lost sheep grow teeth, forsake their lambs, and lie with the lions.

Deena, Zillow was grossly underpricing things in my neighborhood and several surrounding ones, so I wouldn't take it too seriously.

Anne, I'm not too worried. According to the HUD inspector, we paid 4k less than it was worth. I'm pretty impressed with Zillow, though. At least it's close.

I had carpal tunnel and the doctor gave me some simple exercises, but I had to wear the braces too. I need to dig them out again.

Are you going to be at the F2F, Deena? I can't remember, and I'm too lazy to check further back up the thread to check.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Isn't zillow teh shiznit?

Cool, althtough mildly creepy zeroing on the house I grew up in (Like Hey! What happened to privacy?), then arguing in my head with it about why the house next door to Mom which is smaller, until recently had one less bathroom, had a leaking roof in the new bath 'cuz of shoddy workmanship, and has the most horrifyingly hideous front-yard treatment EVER could conceivably be worth like 20 grand more than ours.

These are the details the satellites can't give you.

Off to Baltimore for the weekend, y'all. See you Sunday.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Zillow is sadly useless for NYC -- according to them, there are no homes at all in my neighborhood, let alone any for sale. (Which may be true of single-family detached homes, but I can look out my window and see a "For Sale by Owner" sign on a fucking beautiful brownstone, so...)

I'd just about sell my soul for a brownstone in this neighborhood. Sadly, the sellers are probably looking for money.
