Title: is it me...
Post by: redsock on April 21, 2004, 12:42:00 pm
Or has no one been on this week? Except for Dupek and GGW, who are always on. But many of the regulars are MIA?

yesterday afternoon was the quietest I've ever seen the board - at one stage noone had posted for over an hour
 
 GASP! maybe people are....working.....nah - maybe they've fallen prey to the virus that was released in 24?

Oh, lulu, btw, I have to apologzie for not coming to say Hi at Snow Patrol. I thought I saw markie, but then he was with this stunning woman with raven hair. And i thought, My god, what if Lulu knew! But then, it was you. Anyway, I like the new hair.

We bought a house yesterday, so we were off the board.
 
    Busy with school and work on Monday.
 
    I'm sure most people are glad to have a break from my presence on the board now and then.

Thanks!
 
    Now that we are officially suburbanites, I'm going to try to stay out of the urbanite/suburbanite/rural dweller arguments. All have their plusses and minuses, in my eye.
 
    We all have our preferences and priorities, which can change over time.

The bank bought it, they're just letting you make payments on it for the next 30 years, and you'll will never be there for 30 years...so technically you didn't buy shit.  :D  Isn't it wonderful?

Post by: Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer on April 21, 2004, 01:37:00 pm
Why won't I be there for thirty years?
 
 We plan to pay it off long before 30 years anyway.   :D   Isn't it wonderful? [/b][/quote]

I sure hope so.  Because in five years, you'll be lucky if it's worth 75% of it's current value.

Congratulations.....
 
 So have you moved in?
 
 
 Even if the bubble does burst, you are still much better off in the long run buying. At least you are have a nice 5% interest rate. God, people on here are such miserablists.

Which will cause rates to rise, which will take the froth off the housing market, which will screw all the people who used short-term or interest-only mortgages to buy more house than they could afford and planned to refi, which will add to the selling pressure, which will further reduce prices...

Working and I'm not one of the lucky professional surfers. Have to do 100% of it at home and that time is spread thin.
 
 Congratulations on the new Balls household!

Where's Kosmo? Under a different name? Or did hfstival.comers kidnap him?

Thanks and thanks...
 
 Other than the trickier (but not horrible) commute, I'm loving every minute of it, as Loverboy would say.

won't rate rise eventually no matter who is president?

I think ggw was referring more to the impact an improving economy will have on interest rates than a change in president

the upside to this, is that for people like me who haven't been around for a couple weeks, is that there is less to read thru to catch up!
 
 btw, brennser, went to toronto to see  damien rice/the frames and it was fanfeckintastic. i have a semi decent copy of the show but am hoping to find a better recording and i can send on to you, if you like.
