One thing that helps with the panic is making the sale contingent on the report of a home inspector [link] The inspector's report got the previous owners to fix several things about my house, including the fact that the kitchen exhaust just blew greasy air into the attic, not outside.

My house was listed for $179,900. I was hoping to get it in the low $170s. My broker suggested going in at $170K as a starting point because psychologically, $170K sounds closer to their asking price than $169 or $168. I wasn't convinced, but I followed her advice, and they accepted that first offer. I couldn't believe it.
Two years later, there's an identical house on my street, albeit with more renos, on the market for $44K more than I paid for my house. I feel like I got a deal.

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

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I could barely watch that vid. DEEEsturbing.
I've taken my night meds and now must avoid another Ambiem/Rilutek postings. Thte sensible way is to turn off the laptop, but that goes against everything I believe in. Three machines on all the time.
And everything grammatically correct.
I should just close the laptop. But what if something interesting happens in the box?
Okay, closing now. See you on the flip side.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Sara is indeed adorable, as is the house.
I want a house, but I'm pretty sure that's not going to happen for a year or so.

Clearly, I missed the memo about soaring into the 5 digit realm. Scary. Is this due to some of ita's tweaks to the code?
So, does this one goes to 11(K)?
