I think we all need to spend more time with you, Juni :P


Hey guys! Quick, party at Juni's house. Bring vittles and booze!

Worlds Peas.

Put your ticket on the counter, lass. I'll stamp it for ya. :D

I desperately want, but will not get, my two favorite old synthesizers back.

Like this?

Yup. Exactly like that!

I want all my Marines home with their families Christmas morning.

And I want this bottle of 18 year old McCallan's to last forever.

As you were. Merry Christmas!

Dammit, foot, I came to this thread just to link that video.

Bri, make sure you watch the video in foot's link. It'll make you feel better.

I'm pretty sure we had one like that top one at [high] school ...

How about you link to some other, equally "It's a wonderful life-ish" video and then we can see something we've never seen before?

As long as it isn't about gluten free gay whales nuking spotted owls for Christ, I'd be all about a new video link.:p

It would be a great gift to me and my siblings if my late parents home in Atlanta would sell for close to the asking price but I don't think it will happen as Christmas is slow time for real estate. 3 months on the market and 2 low ball offers but lots of traffic so I keep hoping.

FWIW, this says to me that the house looks good in description/images, but there is a major flaw that is only evident upon visiting the house--did your parents smoke, or have pets? Sometimes you have to go so far as to rip out the old carpet before the smell really goes away.

Market is down?

Great Aunt Alice's house sold for £50k LESS than the original market price due to a falling market. None of the people involved could afford any renovation, or to sit on it and wait for an upswing, all being of a similar age to Alice.

Yeah, but the price is included in the listing--so if lots of people are coming in person to look at the house even after they know the price, one can probably assume the amount is at least close to being on target for that size/age/neighborhood. When the market's really down, people won't even bother to come look at it.

True.
They had very few viewers, and only property developers, no potential home-owners. Hence the negotiated down price (they paid in cash).

Did you know there is a Jewish holiday on Christmas Eve? It's true.
