Thank you for the TROOPS link! Downloading it now.
SEVEN?? YIKES!
I'd just like to move ONCE, but I can't find anywhere affordable where I won't ever have to hear mariachis again.
Got any idears?
You've been warned. For the sake of your monitor and keyboard, no drinking while viewing. It might also be wise to take a potty break first, too, so you don't hurt yourself.

Oops! Okay, scratch tiamat credit for seven moves and realign into the KP column -- so.
Now, I'm off to my Remedial Thread-reading class...
Coming from California, I don't think my relocation problems would have much to do with money. Housing value here outstrips its counterparts around the country by a factor of nearly four-to-one. I can sell here and buy twice the size of both house and land in Overland Park, Kansas for HALF of, and get it thirty years newer than, what I now own. I can sell here and buy the same sized house on the same sized lot in Marietta, Georgia for ONE-FOURTH of, and get it forty years newer than, what I now own.
BTW, any not currently among the ranks of the homeowners, live frugally and save your nickels and dimes; there will be a glut of foreclosures in California starting in about 2012. Be ready to buy.
Precisely why I'm moving east- as a first-time home shopper, I simply can't afford it here. I mean, it's crazy to find yourself seriously considering a $310,000 first house, and that's a fixer-upper! And since I came from north Georgia last year, the shock was so much greater...
Nope, heading to NC.
Yeah, housing in California is spendy. I did see some new construction in North Sac near Arco Arena starting in the high $300K's. A co-worker is looking at buying one for a rental property. Typical California development, though, good-sized houses with next to no yard.
Advantages are: you've nearly no landscaping to maintain, you can borrow a cup of sugar or an egg simply by reaching out the side window...
Disadvantages are: there's almost nowhere to entertain but indoors, the occasional neighbor coming by with a paint roller to ask if he can reach out through your side windows to paint the side of his house, kids have no place to play but out in the street...
Last post?
mayyyyybe.
it is for me for tonight
Good night, KP.
Last Post? Can't be, it's only 7pm Pacific and I'm still in my office!
Nah, we've got several hours before it'll be time to snuff the candles for the night.
It's 9 pm here.
This thread is starting that delayed post thingy; my previous post took a few minutes to appear.
Are you seeing similar behavior?
Hmmm... I haven't posted much on here lately...
Test.
This one worked fine for me.
