I know what you mean. In addition to financiers having little to no
interest in anyone unless they make at least 30k a year, the realators
themselves are after the big commissions on those rediculously large
mini mansions that are being built by the score. The really sad part is
that the houses I have looked at that I could afford if I could get the
loan are in such far-flung and/or crappy neighborhoods. I've been
playing the lottery, and if I do hit that I've considered building my
own house. I have an idea for a house built primarily of large cement
culverts, or maybe a series of culverts interconnected and sunk at least
partway into the ground. Kind of a hobbit-hole if you will.

I use hot water and sharp blades. The rash feeling usually only happens
when I let the beard grow. Maybe I've become allergic to my own hair
lol.

Good luck, and have a safe trip. I bet the sproggs have grown like
weeds.

MSN...I've got that around here somewhere, or at least I used to. If
not, I can easily get it again.
