Ann, that's a ferret.

Interestingly, the reverse was not the case (anyway, not across the board) when times were high.

I can't prove this, but I'd bet the reason is that a lot of people who'd otherwise rent were able to get mortgages. Leaving the supply lower than it otherwise would be.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

Yeah, the people who bought our house before us (and got it foreclosed on, thus enabling us to buy it) paid $120,000 more than we did. With the recent drop, our house is still in the average range and worth maore than our mortgage, but if prices go another 10% lower it won't be. Luckily, we aren't planning on going anywhere, so we can wait a few years until things even out.

Thank god we are renting a house that no longer has a mortgage, but is owned outright by the same family that moved in to it in 1947. Cause tennants who are evicted because of foreclosure are screwed.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Now tagless for your comfort.

Job~ma, Kat!

We have a pound cake sitting on the counter in the kitchen. Liv came up to me and used the sign for bread, then took me in and pointed to the pound cake that she wanted. We've NEVER used that sign with her. She just saw it on a video.

I'm so tired and need a nap but I'm going bowling with some new people tonight. I hope I don't embarrass myself.
