No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

My landlord cut me a good deal when I moved in (minimal deposit, no cat deposit, reduced rent by $10 to accommodate the $10/month cat rent) and have raised my rent not too much each year since then. I found out from a co-worker who just moved into another building in the complex that the going rate for a 1BR unit is up to $850, and I'm only paying $775, so I'm in pretty good shape.

I don't know if the complex as a whole is filling up, but I believe my building is pretty full. AFAIK, we're the cheapest not-a-slum complex in the area, so we're a popular destination for those who are moving out of their foreclosures.

rents in my hood are definately flat, but I think sale prices are now starting down after holding steady.

Just out of my area, I think sale prices are dropping faster, but single family houses are nowhere near affordable until you get into sketchy areas.

I listened to NPR on the way to work this morning just because they kept saying, "President Obama." I didn't particularly care what they were reporting about, I just got a buzz out of hearing, "President Obama" every 3 minutes or so.

Where can you do the Obama-izing, Kat???

I have no idea how rents are doing around me, but my rent didn't go UP, and I was happy about that.

meara: Obama Iconizer I am contemplating doing N and G and getting a shirt for each of them with the icon on it.

Damn, I need to pay better attention. Sorry, meara.

"In the equation E = mc⬧, c⬧ is a pretty big honking number." - Scola

And I got here too late to help with the math. Darn.

Yeah, me too. I worked it out before checking. I think the key (because the amount of numbers involved can be overwhelming) is to break it down to one problem at a time. First, how much does the car cost per day? Then work out how much each person owes per day, which is easier at that point.

Of course, nobody cares anymore. But I think a lot about how to explain these things.

Thank you! I wish I'd had you for 4th grade math!
