Water, water everywhere, nor any drop to drink. Reported 23 inches of rain on Beautiful Merritt Island Florida. My house is ok, but instead of lawns to the right and left, there are shallow lakes. Didn't screw real estate get screwed selling his Palm Bay home. Lots of homes...

Troop, where do you get those pictures? Was that panda cat a painted cat? It was too perfect. There are people who paint cats with not toxic dye. Even if you lost only 1 pound, you may have changed 3-4 fat pounds to muscle. And muscle weighs more, so you may have lost more...

Wow. I'd be interested to see how many were selling for less which were purchased in 2001, 2000, 1999. My first response was why weren't all selling for less, and the 10 seconds of deep thought I realized this included people who bought quite a long time ago.

Gosh, thanks, guys. I don't always know if what I have to say is interesting the Irvine Housing Blog. but I figure Fla is bubblicious and it's sort of contrast and compare. We have low salaries and you have high ones. Our Cubans are very well educated and/or trained, and in...

On Calculated risk, there was a poster who compared tort law to the toxic products offered by the greedy stupid lenders. He has a point. Toxic tomatoes (actually, they weren't) were hustled off the shelves in no time. Defective or toxic products are successfully sued about all the...

Methinks the gentleman (ten) doth protest too much. Real dudes don't have to repeat how studly they are, they just are. Panda, have you lost weight?

Umm, people who have all that stuff everywhere have a mental disease. They get anxious if they are parted from their stuff. Actually, at the worst, the stuff is piled to the rafters. If you take their stuff away, they gather more stuff. Nevertheless, I await your pictures with...

Is that one of those droopy eared cats (Scottish fold?), or has the picture been tinkered with. It looks like a panda cat. My cats are black and white, but they don't look like that.

Gosh, he actually said that? I guess the CEO can say stuff others can't. Or, maybe he has given up hope and feels he can say anything he wants to say.

That has got to be the cutest dog in the world. And I'm a cat person. Has panda lost the weight he wanted to?

I think this is one of those things that sound good, but really aren't. Either way, no matter how sophisticated someone may be in their own country, they might get treated and cheated by rubes in another country. Hence the middlemen, who may also cheat the ferriners in their own...

You could get a coupla cows too, if in the future you need milk, and have a big enough lot. (Not in Irvine). Miami Lakes was developed by the Graham Company, (hence the Fla Senator, with brief presidential hopes). Their land was originally a dairy, and to this day there are a couple...

I'm sure the mathematics in that book add up just fine. In the real world, stuff happens. In the real world, people don't have the discipline to save. In the real world, if the financial system really does melt down, and the odds are growing daily, if you own your house, you...

One of those institutions has over a billion dollars in uninsured deposits. That's a lot of clueless people. Maybe some of them will take foreclosure McMansions in satisfaction of their deposits--but wait---it doesn't work that way.

Or, maybe you were just funnin' us and we fell for it??

Panda, not to put to fine a point on it, but this is NUTZ. 7% + is HARD to make. I think your goal should be to pay your house off, not pull money out of it. Did some investment type just cold call you and hypnotize you??? Money is a symbol that we manipulate for various...

I'm sure that's true of many of what I've called the "Towers" in other posts. Near downtown and in downtown, anywhere on Miami Beach, near Dadeland in Southish Dade. I don't know if I posted here or on Calculated Risk, but the emptiness thing is really starting to hit home on the...

I have very mixed feelings about this whole thing. We were the last white people to move from our block. To me a blockbuster was a black person who would move into a block, so all the white people would move out. The black people were an improvement on the hillbillies who had moved...

With me good is bad and bad is good. I want to see a house with good bones and a whole buncha wrinkles. I want a slight moldy smell. I want worn carpet. I want it to need painting. I want to pay hardly anything and rip it all out, and replace it to my taste, which is what I...

Edwards said he never "loved" the woman. How's that gonna play with the child 10-15 years from now?? Edward's child (I guess). Obviously, he doesn't care how the child feels and I suppose the mother doesn't either. Poor kid. I am gonna vote for Obama. I don't care what...
