Still loving my MSN homepage
Posted February 13th, 2008 by Kimberly DowdNothing says, “Go take on the day!” better than my MSN homepage, which sports this lovely headline first thing in the morning:
(highlighting mine)
If you read it, 2 of the 3 families profiled live in San Francisco, which we all know is super-expensive. The other lives in Scottsdale, AZ, and it’s a parent worrying that her 29-year-old son won’t be able to afford a house. (Oddly enough, they never ask the son if he even wants a house, but I attribute that to the continued infantilization of the Baby Boomers’ children by the media.) The author relates her own housing/financial troubles, but she lives in New York City, another super-expensive place to be.
It’s depressing…but at least I still own a house in name. Now if only it’d sell.

Happy Birthday, Mom!

I was incredulously watching a woman on “House Hunters” the other day complain about the kitchen in one of the less-than-$300k homes being “too small.”
Homes in my not-so-fancy area go for almost $600k and my kitchen…hell, house is literally half the size of the ones she was looking at. I wanted to slap her silly.
