Toddson, on your home situation, we got an ad yesterday for new construction single-family homes on 1/2 acre starting in the $300Ks.
But they're in Culpeper. Which probably doesn't help.
I couldn't believe it the first twenty times you told us, but it's starting to sink in now.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The quiz got much easier when I realized that Hitler had a vocabulary.

Nope. I live in Adams Morgan (yeah, it's "hot" now). And I don't own a car. I may have to move outside town if I ever want to own ... or get a job that pays real money.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
It's hard to keep it elevated above my heart at work.
Don't stint! At least have it as high as you can politely. And ice after you use it for a while--like getting home, or stuff like that.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Happy anniversaries, Fred and Hubs and amych and S!
If S exists, that is. Seekrit elopement and all, and never showing up at the F2F's... I actually met Fred's DH at the DC F2F, so I feel pretty safe in offering felicitations and possibly confetti and bubbly, if such is their taste. S is as yet unproven (though at least highly likely and probable, so likely and probable confetti and bubbly to him and amych).

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.
If S exists, that is.
She has the receipt!

Dammit, where are the NCistas when I need to bribe them?

There's a special program to help teachers, firefighters, and cops afford to live in town.
Not only that, but the city of Baltimore is actively trying to lure DCer to move up here.

But it's a really long commute ... and I'm spoiled. I've lived in DC for the past 30 years, and I'm used to living in town. (yes, the diamond shoes are pinching)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
They're doing a half-assed job of the renovation, not addressing a lot of serious problems, charging market rates for the condos (1 bedrooms will average $350K), high condo fees (almost $500 per month for a 1 bedroom), and destroying a lot of the historic character of the building.
That's one of the annoying things about the destabilization of my building.
They're breaking old Classic Sixes into one bedrooms and sheetrocking the fuck out of everything. The building is a hundred years old and mouldings -- gone, tiling -- gone, claw foot tubs -- gone. The elaborate ceiling of our lobby is being covered up. Its going from a New York City apartment building full of working families to a slice of over-priced Generica on the Upper West Side.
