home conference introductions

RENTING! ie: pissing money away!

Owning is WORK. But a long term placement. My present house is now paid and I wouldn't have that money under me if I didn't buy it long time ago.

Some people say that I'm no more a young man. It's not true. :o)), I'll get retired of job in a couple of years. I had two houses. The first one was an inexpensive one, and I scraped off all the inside and rebuild it. I've sold it with a small profit, and bought my present one. I don't have any major repair to do on it, just maintenance, or building the pool patio, making rooms in basement etc. Now I plan to build my next one on a land that I bought 4 years ago. It's in a wild place, have 2 small lakes beside and a other the other side of the road. Its only 45 minutes from Montr�al, 5 minutes from ski centers, golf courses.... For this year I only want to put up the structure, with the outside finished.

Looking forward to talking to you about the details of this new structure.

talking to realtors of late... looking for properties in old Littleton -- Hyde Parkish for you Austinites -- with a bit more age and a much better view!

Just missed a property in Hyde Park tonight. Went by to make an offer and they were just putting out the "sold" sign. Close, but no cigar.

(smacks head) *argh*

I'll try not torture myself any more. Arghh is right, Stace.

"If you don't know me by now...you will never never never know me...ooooo..." Well, not entirely true, but if you don't know me then get to know me. I dropped by over here cos I felt that a "home" conference would be kinda...well, you know, "nice" :) I'm gonna go check out the topic list for stuff now!

Come in Mike, take a seat....

Well, you guys have definately seen me running around wildly... buying my home, would love it to be tons bigger (kids do grow, if you don't know) need a garden room or something (plants are taking over my living room). kitchen is too small, bathrooms too small, living room laid out poorly IMMHO. Shall I go on? Can't complain, it was a repo and we got a good deal. Am in the process of refinancing and refacing. Besides, it's home *smile*

Slaps wolf a high five. Way to go, wolf! A new era for you!

happy home... *smile*

well, if we could just get through the refinancing (think we're almost there, though)

I would like to invite regulars of this conference to visit the International Conflicts conference here on the Spring: http://www.spring.net/yapp-bin/restricted/browse/InternationalConflicts/all This conference is dedicated to the disputes between groups all over the world, be that social, cultural, political or ethnical differences.

Mine is all paid for...finally! Of course, now it needs constant repairing. *sigh*

Would that be (a) home, (b) world, (c) InternationalConflict or (d) none of the above?

(a) home

Isn't it wonderful to have your home paid for? Not having a mortgage means going out for Chinese food anytime you feel like it!

You're in great shape if you have a home in Hawaii paid for Marcia, how many years have you lived there?

If I tell you that I shall be telling you more than I want some people to know right now...but I raised that son from infancy in Hilo. (It was a 30 year mortgage, if that helps!)

....or was it 25?....a long time by Ree's standards, anyway!

yeah, my house is paid for too, unfortunately, it belongs to someone else!
