Sunday afternoon, and I'm bored to death

Could someone entertain me, or enlighten me, or something?? Please??

 

I could do the macarena if you want?

 

Yes!!! Please,, you have a webcam?

 

Why don't you go for a bike ride?
And I thought it was your job to entertain us

 

I don't have a bike at the moment. My last one was destroyed in New Orleans while I was Mardi gras'ing,,, (is that a word?)


My job??? I just post here to be entertained by all of you intelligent folks. It makes me feel smarter.

 

That's what happens when you gras to hard!
Did you do it or was it done for you?

 

A drunk Cajun in an 85 Blazer sort of ran me over. He became really sorry about it though.

I think his sorrow was genuine.

 

I take it you were okay if you were able to make sure he wasn't
And don't talk to me about bored, I feel like one of those pictures from Cano's website.
I could count the tiles on the ceiling or something..
where's Dande, I thought she was doing the macarana?

 

Yep. Pegg can be scary.

 

Best I can do, I'm on my way out the door...

i think if i was you i would be playing with my pets

 

see, it must be contagious lol.
Go plow a field or something X-boss!
When do you move to Drippy Flats?
1...2....3.....

 

I guess I had enough juice left to take care of business, before the ambulance got there. I spent 3 days in intensive care. Oh well.



Yah,, Wher's the MPEG Dande????

 

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
That's a good point there, dp
Oh god, my side is hurting
Hahahahahahahaha....

He woke up.......
hahahahahahahaha

 

Damn big dude, glad you were/are okay, was that this year's Fat Tuesday?
Glad to see it didn't affect your wits

 

Can you dance the macarana while you eat it?

 

No,, Several years back. My wits were long gone before that happened.

 

well, if youre truly bored, you could make me a banner thingy-been having a hard time finding/making something i like ....lol

or you could come and clean my house for me.....the dog needs a bath.....the backyard still needs mowing....theres ALWAYS something to be done here! lol

 

mmmmmmmmmmm pie.................

 

Looks pretty damn good, X. Got milk?

 

Xflat
Your pie looks great, your house is beautiful.
Give me the dog
Our daughter and our big dog need a little dog to play with.
I wanted to get her a Jack Russell, that's small enough.
So give me yours.
And some pie

 

I want one!!!!!

 

Um,,, Bambi steaks,,,

 

No problems X. I have Civil war rank epaulets, a musket used in the Antietam conflict, and a full case of beer.

 

Now see! You can put the epaulets on your jacket, grab the musket and go sit on the porch, drink the beer and shoot Gila Monsters
I wouldn't be bored if I did that
Crazy maybe but not bored

 

Uh,, no. But, thanks,,,

 

Hmph
Okay then
But you'll never know what you're missing

 

Have you ever seen a Gila monster get splattered by a musketball? I don't want to have to clean up that mess,,,

 

Have you?
Never seen a real Gila Monster.
Or a musketball.
Probably would be kind of messy then.
Oh well I'll try and think of a new game to play

 

No. I've seen the monsters, and the musketballs,, but never the two together.

 

Here's our poison of choice: Mojave Green Rattlesnake, our High School mascot (Diamondback)

 

Well, then - put the epaulets on the Gila Monster, put beer on the porch and shoot at the beer with your musket.

Considering the accuracy of the muskets, you should have plenty of beer left to drink.

 

Ok im back and doing the macarenahttp://members.aol.com/dcurtin2/multi/macarena/maca_ani.gif

 

Better 'an pie or musketballs!


...Not as good as Gila Monster pie, though!

 

Nice one Dande, hope you haven't been doing the same dance since 3pm when the thread was started

 

Hey kiwi. See everyone was in earlier. Where did everyone go. Hang, I am bored to death. No offense, but dande just doesn't do it for me.

 

Hi smt, I have been popping in and out (mostly out), being as it's Sunday and all and I have been trying to study (blecch) all day.
Want to quit but I need to put in some serious concentration time. Have 2 tests coming up and then I can give it a break for a while and then start getting more hours in at work.
How was your weekend?

 

Well it's hot here tonight. Looking at the temp in my house it's 76 degrees. To me that's very uncomfortable.

What are you studying?

 

Real Estate licence. I have to get it coz I am senior assistant to the broker and I have to be able to quote prices (illegal w/o it). I do a lot of computer work, accounting and liasing between buyers/sellers/agent/ and escrow etc. I am the great peacemaker!
I am convinced this job is punishment for all the cool jobs I've had all over the world

LOL, our low will probably be about 70F! Winter's snow is a distant memory.

 

I was a secretary for Re/Max years ago. As I remember it...............real estate was very boring. I hope you like it though. After your done, are you going to get a raise?

I would love just one year of 70F. I do like snow, I just hate the sub zero temps. As for the gusty winds, snow drifts and all that other stuff.........I wouldn't miss it if it would go away.

 

Yes, I get salary and a percentage of the commission. Nice when I don't have to actually sell. May consider that though, the market here is booming.

 

Welp, there's another coincidence. I actually got my Real Estate Licence when we first moved over here.

I soon realised I would rather stick to the Chemistry fields, though!

The Licence expired after three years, so it's long gone, and I aint sorry!

 

Is the percentage there 3 and 3? Here it was 3% for listing and 3% for selling. Considering the listing prices and selling prices, our agents were starving. Just not much of a commission on a $15,000 to $30,000 home. If they were lucky they would sell 2 or 3 places a year.

 

Oh my god! 15k to 30k? You can't even buy vacant land for that here! In our area an average house will sell for at least 145K, more likely 175. Most are around 250K now. And we are rural. Commission is negotiable, 4-6%, commercial 10%. Can't keep homes on the market. No foreclosed properties available. Ridiculous. Good if you want to sell and move out of the area, not so good if you want to sell and move up or build.
@Phantom, chemistry would at least be a more stable job. I didn't pick this, it was offered to me and as a chance to get back in the work force I took it.

 

Yes being a Chemist was great, until it made me sick and nearly killed me. Industrial Gold ming chemicals aren't nice at all.

I think my % of Real Esate would have been 3% as well. Yet another reason it sucked! I never stuck around long. It was basically making everone else rich.

 

lol, you would starve around here. We have a lot of homes and vacant lots for sale, no buyers, and all low priced. I own a 2+ bedroom bungalow, purchased it 12 years ago when the market was good, has 1 acre of land and only paid $36K. That was considered high at the time. It also came with a swimming pool and satellite dish. It's totally private, vacant land around me...and a whole lot of wildlife for entertainment.

 

In the words of Toby Kieth "She's One Hot Mama"

 

Well it's sunday night and I am bored to death. Guess I should have started a "I lost dperino", thread. Go figure, I would have expected him in tonight. Hey, Musky said he went fishing today, you think he used dp as the anchor for his boat?












Musky if you did ..... No one does that to a Talibong member and gets away with it. Tomorrow when you log in you had better hope dp has been in.

 

Umm, Musky, I am sorry for thinking you did something to dp.

 

The average price for a four bedroom, two bathroom brick and tile bungalow around here (which is the average 'Joe Citizen' dwelling in these parts), is (Au) $250,000 to (Au) $350,000! Half a million dollar homes are common. Keep in mind this state has about 300,000 square miles of land!

Now even factoring in that our (crappy) dollar is only worth (U.S.) $0.75c, that's a lot of cash!!
