I've been praying for that one. (and others for ya, too)<BR/><BR/>I posted a great recipe for waffles and fruit sauces on my blog a couples of years back, too.

I wish I was in a position to buy in right now. And I'd be willing to bet "eventually" isn't even more than a few years off. You can probably turn this place around in a few years and buy a castle in Arkansas (or just about anywhere else in the US) when the timing is more in your favor. <BR/><BR/>Best of luck!Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06799024060528185282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-29911597346211768882008-07-19T09:13:00.000-07:002008-07-19T09:13:00.000-07:00Gino, I'm so sorry about your sister.

Three car garage and rectangular build for maximum practicality and storage of substance. Small lawn making it no-nonsense and low-maintenance. Windows wide and honest like eyes through which to peer into the soul. Plenty of room in its heart for family, but what's that green thing growing on the bottom right hand corner of the roof?<BR/><BR/>(:tullyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197709180292694356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-3362225413361304742008-07-17T19:44:00.000-07:002008-07-17T19:44:00.000-07:00RW:this thing will cost me about $220/mo more(in r...RW:this thing will cost me about $220/mo more(in real dollars after tax deduction) than i'm paying for my 2br apt. funny, aint it?<BR/><BR/>tully: it does have a guest room, w/bath, just in case<BR/><BR/>palm boy: well... yeah!<BR/><BR/>SA: thanks.<BR/><BR/>ben: they're nearly givin this stuff away here. its great.<BR/><BR/>jade: was thinking maybe i could convert the third garage into a waffle house.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-30336285543716822602008-07-17T18:38:00.000-07:002008-07-17T18:38:00.000-07:00Maybe there's no Waffle House, but you can still g...Maybe there's no Waffle House, but you can still go hunting and fishing and whatnot from your new base camp. :)<BR/><BR/>Congrats on the house!Jadehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959637910926242468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9044859131970603127.post-56601827661573594082008-07-17T18:10:00.000-07:002008-07-17T18:10:00.000-07:00It looks nice.
