the disproportionate role physical desirability plays in the social value assigned to women

Just stop. It’s common knowledge nowadays that most women are looking for men 6’ tall with a six figure income. It goes both ways.

I wonder if the boyfriend is new, and her past came back to haunt her. She might be doing damage control to prove she wasn’t a slut.

I remember watching Santelli’s rant live during the 2008 financial crisis. It created the Tea Party movement, still on YouTube if you haven’t seen it.

This episode explains why young men are tired of dealing with women. There’s nothing to prevent a woman from willingly sleeping with a guy and deciding a week later she was assaulted. Even if the guy is cleared, the stain is there forever. You need to have a woman sign an affidavit nowadays before you sleep with her.

Sales are tanking but look at home prices. They’re still holding up and not coming down much at all.

Wife and I are waiting for the drop. Our house is paid off and we want to move closer to the grandkids. Hopefully in the drivers seat come early next year.

Regarding rates, I’m surprised the government hasn’t looked into some type of incentive program that would encourage “blended” mortgages. For example, assume you’re currently in a $400k home with $200k remaining at 3%. You want to buy a larger home ($800k) and need to borrow $400k (for easy math assume at 7%). If there were a way to roll the existing mortgage into the new mortgage, your loan would effectively be $400k at 5%. This would free up lower priced homes for new homeowners, and keep the McMansions selling. Otherwise people will just sit on their houses.

You’re actually supposed to use three approaches when doing an appraisal. Sales approach, cost approach and income approach.

The increases for land are market dependent. Land in rural Kentucky is going to appreciate at a much lower rate than Northern New Jersey.

And to answer your smart arse question about type of appraiser, my father actually turned away a significant amount of business because he refused to match what some banks may have wanted, and I was trained that way as well.

I did dozens of appraisals when younger (father was an appraiser for 50 years). While land value increases, it doesn’t increase nearly enough to account for total increase in value (especially in suburban areas). Inflation in labor and materials costs are significant factors. That house that cost $50k in materials and labor 40 years ago costs a heck of a lot more to build now. Not to mention, it’s probably better quality.

When my in laws lived with us, my mother in law had Fox News cranked up. I bought her these Sony TV headphones.


One of the best purchases I ever made. Plug right into the RCA jack.

Been to Europe dozens of times, booked the tickets through the appropriate channels.

The manager at the station where the train didn’t stop even radio’s them to ask them why they didn’t stop.

As for the one that stopped in a random station requiring a cab? It was the right train, it simply stopped because they had traffic on the tracks and had no idea when it would be cleared. Even the locals were pissed off.

Congratulations on not having problems. Compared to the UK, Germany, Austria, Switzerland etc, Italian rail is a shite show.

The train systems in Europe are generally good to great(Switzerland). The Italian train service is borderline third world.

Have they tested his brother’s hair? His brother was known to party with the slaves.
