Post Race!

Were they tooting?

[FunkyDexter]

There a town in the UK called Tooting. It doesn't attract many tourists.

[Gruff]

Probably there is a certain air about the place.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Gas is cheap there, I hear.

[Shaggy Hiker]

They were known for their rafts...until people realized they were all dyslexic.

[Gruff]

Frats? I didn't know they were a college town.

I always got a kick out of George Carlin and his observations on humanity.

"When two people are in an elevator and one of them rafts... Everyone knows who did it."

[Shaggy Hiker]

So, using that anagram, would bean-o be considered a form of fraticide?

[Gruff]

Nice. Good to see you give it the old college try.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I went to two VERY old colleges (at least for the US), one for undergrad and one for grad school, so that's the only try I know other than the one followed by a catch.

Help me with my code in the C# section you so called code elitists

Btw I win

[homer13j]

Instead of posting one word answers its better we share something here so that we know something and have fun

That's what every other section of this site is for. Chit-chat is for pretending we already know it all.

[homer13j]

Btw I win

Nope. Sorry.

[FunkyDexter]

Chit-chat is for pretending we already know it all.

Nah, Chit-Chat's where folks point their spam bots to build up a couple of seemingly relevant posts and bypass the new member mod queue without realising that CC posts don't count toward the post count...

So that what its for, i always thought it was an inter-dimensional thread kept around so Bonkergud could hop between time streams!

[Shaggy Hiker]

I think it is for all of the above, regardless of what set you consider to be all of the above.

I learned that rafts is a dyslexic version of farts. I guess that fits this request.....

I've seen that video. It is Apple's new revenue model.

[Shaggy Hiker]

When it comes to the post race, I've been on an extended pit stop.

[dday9]

I recently moved.

[dday9]

And by moved I mean we moved our entire house in 5 hours...

[dday9]

I am wore out!

[szlamany]

I read that as "***** out" - wow - gotta clean my glasses...

[edit] left("wore",1) + "h" + right("wore",3) [/edit]

[Shaggy Hiker]

You moved the whole house? Did you have to jack it up and put it on rollers, or is this a collapsible house like my tent?

[Shaggy Hiker]

Why'd you move, anyways? Was the water reaching the front door? Was it easier than vacuuming?

[dday9]

I was living in Lake Charles, but I started my business in Sulphur. The distance between my work and job was only 12 miles and going to work took me about 15 minutes, but on my way back it could take an hour to an hour and a half. We were kind of halfway looking and found a home that is 3/4 a mile away from my work in between the elementary and high school. It was listed for $125k but we asked for $105k and he took it.

Really the location was important because my wife isn't licensed to drive so if I'm busy and she wants to go to the park or the store then she can just walk there now where as before she couldn't.

[Shaggy Hiker]

Looks nice. Very green.

I wish I lived that close to work...oh yeah, I bought my house so that I could walk to work...then switched offices. It'll do, though.

[homer13j]

my wife isn't licensed to drive

Yeah, you gotta be 16 to drive in Louisiana.

Well that what happens when you start your business on a Volcano your wheels probably melted on the way there

It was listed for $125k but we asked for $105k

More seriously though, that's about £80,000. Returning to the old house price discussion that is CHEAP !!!!! how big is your new house dday?

[Shaggy Hiker]

I was going to say that I would have expected houses to be cheaper than that in Louisiana. That's more than I paid for my 1800 sq. ft. house in Idaho. It's not more than the current valuation of the house, but not by much. I don't know the current valuation, I just know it's somewhere in that range.

[Shaggy Hiker]

I thought you sold insurance?? Is sulphur more profitable?

[dday9]

The house is a 3 bedroom 1 bathroom home and I think the living square footage is a little over 1300. I could've gotten much more for my dollar, but the location of the home could not have been any better. It is in the best part of town, I'm sandwhiched between two schools(0.1 miles away from the elementary school and 0.2 from the high school) which means that there will be no registered sex offenders anywhere near us, there is only 1 home on our street that is being rented which means that there is significantly better upkeep of the houses, and I could just go on and on.

To give you an example, we found a home that was the same square footage and same bed/bath count in a different neighborhood that was listed for $65,000 and we were told that the owner rejected an all cash offer of $50,000 the day it was listed, but since then it had sat on the market for over 3 months so he would likely be a little bit more negotiable. The issue with that home was that it was next to a railroad track, the neighbor was definately a horder because his junk was overpouring onto the yard of the home that was listed, and it was more than walking distance from the school.
