		<description>XXXOOO to everyone!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Dawn, HVAC = so overrated. It&#039;s not like you live in Canada. What&#039;s with a few 15 degree nights&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vic, termites! We had those once. Go ahead and ignore the flying beasts until they start swarming. I told myself they were simply overzealous flying ants for a little long.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lilu, it might be a great time to buy especially if you think you might be in one place for a while. the moving at cos. convenience has made timing impossible for us. Oh, and avoid realtors with cars that cost more than your yearly salary - especially if they match their hair.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Amanda, good for you! next time I&#039;m getting one of the nice realtors, perhaps a single mother with a used vehicle, or at least a soul&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;SWC, a tent is a great idea. I have a friend i met on twitter who was raised in a teepee on Martha&#039;s Vineyard. Have you remembered your password? Never need to apologize for imagined lameness. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Staci, clearly we are soul mates. Good luck with selling. Hope it happens NOW.</description>

		<description>I feel your pain. I&#039;ve had my house on the market for almost 11 months now, and it still hasn&#039;t sold. I&#039;m sick of the whole process. I&#039;m sick of my crappy neighbors. I&#039;m sick of stupid HOA rules.  I&#039;m sick of my snippy real estate agent (funny, she&#039;s blond and has a fancy new car, too) who&#039;s getting even snippier the more she realizes that she&#039;s never going to make a big commission off of this place. I&#039;m sick of things breaking at all at the same time.  (If I have to fix one more leaky sink...) I&#039;m at the point where I just want to rent for the rest of my life.</description>

		<description>Loved this post. I am right there with you. Frankly, I am considering living in a tent.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And I love the new photo of you. (I know I&#039;m lame. It takes me months to read and comment on blogs-- including my own).</description>

		<description>Yep, I belong to the &quot;not my problem&quot; league as well :)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I owned my own home many moons ago, but as the marriage collapsed so did that reality.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Rents are not cheap in Australia anymore, but buying a home, especially for our young people starting out, is nigh impossible.  That is why many women need to go back to work 6 weeks after giving birth.  They HAVE to, to afford the mortgage.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Real estate people are mostly sharks in disguise ;)</description>

		<description>As someone who resides in the &quot;Not my problem&quot; category, let me just say that I feel for you. As much as I wish I could buy a house in this bottoming-out market, I sure don&#039;t want to deal with &quot;slab leaks&quot;??? Eeeek!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks for your kind words yesterday, my dear- trust me, they were appreciated.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;xoxo</description>

		<description>Amen and amen.  I&#039;m pretty sure we have termites.  I&#039;m terrified to find out, figuring it&#039;s better for the walls to just dissolve into dust at some inconvenient moment. &lt;br /&gt;Slab leaks?? I hadn&#039;t worried about that yet. I&#039;m adding it to my mental list.&lt;br /&gt;And rent&#039;s cheap these days!! Hm.&lt;br /&gt;Love ya,&lt;br /&gt;FP</description>
