Thanks, msbelle. We will check it out. I thing the big thing is people are super bargain hunting rightnow. I think he'll need to drop the price below what he paid for it, which sucks...and makes me feel guilty.
Home schooling? You know, it's not just for scary religious people anymore.

I think they should have Suzanne Somers on with Barbara Ehrenreich on the same show. Bright-sided: How the Relentless Promotion of Positive Thinking Has Undermined America

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
that's a lot of what they go through on real estate intervention. The last one I saw, the people opted to rent their place instead on sell. As a rental, they could make more and almost cover their monthly mortgage, whereas selling, they would need $20-30K out of pocket to close a deal.
I have learned that I should probably paint some of my rooms to a neutral color before showing (bye pink kitchen), get about 1/3 of my furniture into storage, stage my upper living room as a dining room. Would probably make back the money if I replaced the bathroom vanity and sink, and if I redid the floors.

Yeah repainting to neutral colors might help. It's hard for us to think about investing in that place right now. The energy and money is going into our home here. He does have friends renting it now for part of the mortgage and he can stay there when he's back for work so that's something but not a perm solution.

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

That looks really good. I loved Nickel and Dimed, but that's the only book of hers I've read.

Damn -- juliana beat me to the kitty litter suggestion. Mostly because I forgot it by the time I got to the entry box, but still.

Ehrenreich was on The Daily Show last week, for those who want a taste of what she's talking about.

Ooh. Amazing fantasy armor leatherwork
I'm not sure exactly what it means to be "hell bent for leather," but I am sure that this is the outfit you want to be wearing while you're thusly engaged. Prince Armory is (mostly) Samuel Lee, who goes by *Azmal on deviantART. Beautiful craftsmanship.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yeah, that was a great antidote to the wrongheaded keynote speaker I saw last week who started going down the road of people making themselves sick -- which makes me INSANE. She told a story of a woman who stopped doing art, became a successful executive, but got fibroids. Yeah, I'm pretty sure not dancing isn't what causes fibroids.
