gt you raffled off a park? I had no idea one could do such things!
In case y’all think I’m all shallow and have no substance, I shall recap a deep, philosophical conversation ol’ y’all know who and I engaged in earlier today.
I have a rubber welcome mat on the backporch. It’s at the door that goes directly out into the yard. Usually, when you open that door to come into the porch, the “welcome” is facing inward toward the back door to da cave. However, this afternoon it was discovered that the “welcome” was facing the door leading out into the yard. This prompted a discussion on whether or not that would make it an “unwelcome” mat being as the “welcome” was pointing to outside of da cave as opposed to inside. I posited that since it was pointing toward the back yard, which is privacy fenced, I was not unwelcoming people but rather inviting them to enjoy the back yard and the pool, since with the fence all around the back yard it would not indicate that I want people to physically leave the property. Ol’ y’all know who contemplated this and stated that that was a good hypothesis since all the gatherings around the pool are indeed good times and that as far as he knows I’ve never told anyone to climb the fence and leave.
Og, I hurt. Muscles I didn’t know I had are screaming out in pain.
On top of VWife and her [del]hell on Earth[/del]project, I had ANOTHER fire today. Some idiot burned a derelict farmhouse to the ground, setting off the surrounding woods for good measure. Damned arsonists. At least yesterday’s was an honest one. An old guy set his kitchen on fire cooking.
All because I had to shampoo carpet this weekend. I can count on a fire whenever I do carpet, or call my stepmother. No story; both were pretty boring tales.
an agency in my hometown is holding one for a flat (c 600 sqft) and two double-levels (c 900 sqft); they’re not in one of the best parts of town but many families in Spain reckon that 900 sq ft is fine for a family of 4 or 5 so long as everybody showers fast, the building is brand-new, the town is quite attractive for anybody who doesn’t “need” to live in a city and heck, 50€ (the price to “buy a house-shaped stress-ball and become a client of the agency”) for a home is 4 figures less than the usual price.
They’re selling 6000 housies. The three raffles are separate and winning numbers will be put back into the bag, so in theory someone could win two or all three flats. I’ve bought 2 housies (you could buy them in person or send the money through your bank and give them the info via fax, email or webform). It’s unlikely that I’ll win, but I think it’s a helluva idea: it will be great publicity for the agency and the price of all 6000 housies covers the costs they had to build those three flats without leading to ridiculous odds.
