Angry Birds?!

Try Battlefield 3 man...

Agreed. I didn't count the unattached garage and unfinished basement but it's space and it's used. And the yard just big enough to not be a hassle and can produce some food and lovely perennial gardens even in our Zone 5b area.
This house will be like a palace when our kids leave.

My neighbor grew up in his house, virtually identical to ours, with 5 other siblings!! He's 70.

Yeah, I did 25 miles one way for 13 years. I hated myself at the end and was miserable.

Socialist trends, boy you don't even know.

W/re to refineries ... we had too much capacity due to our decreased demand for refined petroleum products.

You just trolling.

Yeah, being 'merican means tearing down the old, building new, cheap crap, abandoning centers, moving out into the newest 'burbs house fungus, and being in perpetual debt. Just like American Corporate interests are only focused on the current and next quarter's perceived performance so too is the 'merican dream frittered away in short term perceptions of luxury.

Me? I live in a small by 'merican standards house of a mere 1700 sq ft that many would call a starter home. Guess what? Debt free with a load of cash invested and many fancy internet connected devices from which I prove that all the wrong people on the internets are wrong.

CD quality is not at all high audio quality ... if you ask audiophiles.

'terrible dirty dick' ... but maybe because of Santorum http://spreadingsantorum.com/

Yes, it's disgusting

Great minds ... but you beat me by two minutes. I shouldn't have switched tabs while the dang pre-flight on submission was spinning.

I concur. Nothing larger than the current iPhone for me thank you.

6'2" 185lbs.

This was modded as insightful?!

Yes, I've been on /. a while but that doesn't mean I stop hoping for intelligence.

Yah, I have to stop posting so quickly before my lunch, right. Property ~230k so about 1.5% of the value. I have no clue who typed those other numbers, where was that dog?

That is a lot in taxes. I feel our rates are ok considering our public schools are decent, not necessarily all the facilities but the results are good.

Me?
9*3500 != to our purchase price, not by far, and the value has just more than doubled, since we purchased and not dropped out.

I dunno about "tiny parcel" ... Even my siblings who live in bigger cities with houses twice ours have lots which are not much larger.
We find our house size is great, built in the 20s it was above average then and isn't too damn big with isolation chambers built in to keep us all too separate.

And no, not many teachers hauling down the pay my friend, nor big administrators. Pretty lean here, but good results.

Really? Is that a tax problem or a we bought a really expensive piece of property problem?

Just asking b/c our property tax is less than 15% of what we pay in mortgage but a little greater than 10% the value of land+property.
Anyway, ~3500 on 5000 sq f of land & 1600 sq f property.

And I would add the same could be said for some *********MBA who comes in, thinks for the short term, doesn't nurture the topology or Design ... while many folk with experience can transition into strategic "hybrid" roles many do not get the chance to do so full on. An MBA doesn't make you smart, experience, judgement, and practice do. How this still gets past people is beyond me.
