In order that we might all raise the level of discourse and expand our language abilities, here is the daily post of “word for the day”. Rules: Everyone must leave a post using the “word of the day”; in a sentence. The sentence must, in some way, relate to the news of the day.
Dodgeball Day!
Subbie Slip has given her whip, handcuffs and legcuffs to xs today.
The rest of the stuff is locked up in my drawer. I’m just letting all the new students know that we behave as if we were ladies and gentlemen in here. Those two words “as if” can get you an A if you make the subbie laugh.
There is a vacant lot, 1/4 acre, for sale in FC - $550K
Oh, jeez, that is like the 78209 of Alamo Heights-everyone else contemptuously calls them "oh-niners"...
LOLOL - 2400 ft sq in FC is about 1.2M
Only $550K? I'll run tell hubby to call the falls churcher loon in our old neighborhood right now-I'm sure they'll dash right out to put earnest money on it...
This is rural Texas-no snob value like that here...
My grandparents bought this place, because, in 1945, it had the lowest real estate taxes in the area.
Then my folks bought it from them, and I bought it from my folks in 2000 or so.
Our home is over 3300 square feet, has lots of custom stuff and is on nearly an acre and I'd be astonished if I got offered 450 for it-it isn't for sale, anyway.
" stop calling me a snob"
Okay-how about if we just start calling you "oh four six"?
LOL - can I help it if I grew up in this dump?
i won't call you a snob, bc i frankly don't see the appeal of FC and don't see it lauded as desirable by the people i know, other than just needing to live within the confines of St James parish so they can get into St James school. FC is too congested, houses too close together, for my taste, regardless of price.
lordy, patton, the GATED ENCLAVE comment alone qualifies you for abuse....
Huh. It seems every thing I say qualifies me for abuse. LOL.
when you let your ego do the talking, that's what happens ; )
POTOMAC is not a gated enclave, for God's sake, and the RE prices, home sizes and lot sizes are all substantially greater than FC. that comment was beyond the pale. it still makes me laugh.
It was my id, not my ego.
after the GATED ENCLAVE comment, no one else here would know any better. they could be picturing God knows what, as that EDEN on EARTH, FC city. but since i happen to know better, i will continue to harangue you for that for some time.
C'est la vie.
LOL! I read this as Motorhead's "Eat the Rich" is on the radio.
I'm in an expensive county, but $600,000 can get a McMansion here, and I might even be able to get 10 acres with it.
i am with you, if i am going to spend a lot of $ on a house, i would prefer not to be rubbing up against my neighbors.
Hey, I am ready to move to Huntsville, AL, any moment now.
