Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

If only there were people whose job it was to assess the risks of future events and explain it all to us.

That... rings a bell. There was something about that on my degree....

Some sort of superhero with a cape and a slide rule?

I haven't turned on my television all morning and I can say I'm pretty happy about that. I'm watching Olivia try to eat her toes, checking craigslist and eating chocolate chip cookies.

Hmm, can't think of anyone like that around here.

From way back, I've been sort of ignoring the housing market except for noticing that around town, for sale signs are staying up longer. Used to be they'd go within a week.

I'm noticing in my neighborhood that for sale apartments are going nowhere. Still not getting any cheaper, though.

Out of curiosity, what are they asking, lisa?

Yeah, I read somewhere (The Trib?) that sellers are generally being stubborn and refused to lower prices much....

Punishingly Intricate

$260,000.

Which is ridic. Even when the market was at its hottest I think the most a house sold for on the street was $230 and that was an end-of-row house (wider then the interior houses) and across the street (where they have slightly longer lots). It's a nice place, they've done a lot of work on it, and it's got central AC. But it doesn't have, for example, a fabulous modern kitchen or beautifully landscaped yard or anything.

My friend said if it had been priced at about $240 she would have put a contract in on it. That is on the high end of comparable places she'd looked at in the neighborhood.

I know that DH's company will buy a house from an employee who moves and needs to sell if it doesn't sell within a year. So there are some people who have no incentive to lower their asking price.

That is insane!! But then, I was shocked to see the listing of a crappy yellow house on coldspring (right after falls! with no apparent driveway except to one way coldspring!) in the upper $300s. Horrid location, doesn't even look that big. Not sure if it sold.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I'd make an offer on that place by lisah at say $180K and see what they say. ijs.
