    You Are Correct Sir! Ed McMahon About To Lose Home

    Dayum

    Ed, age 85, took this loan out in 2005 at age 82. Who would take out a mortgage loan at that age? Ed McMahon, I reckon.

    I feel his pain, with a house sitting on the market in FL for fourteen months now.

    Lower the price and houses would sell. Florida appreciated 100-300% over the last few years yet most refuse to lower their price 25%.

    Whether current owners want it or not, Florida's prices will go back in line with incomes. The days of Wall Street throwing easy money around to anyone with a pulse are over.

    Hey! I think our problems may just be solved. Ed McMahon. Think I just won a million bucks. Yeah, Irwin M. Fletcher you choose. Woo-wee! Oh, boy, I lost. Yeah. Sorry.

    We've lowered our list price by $90,000 since we started.

    Houses are not selling. But hey, thanks anyway for the suggestion! We hadn't thought of that.

    Actually the house is in Beverly Hills, and the major sticking point in selling is that he's neighbors with Brittany Spears. The paparazzi factor is scaring away potential buyers. Location, location, location...

    Good point. Here in NC homes have been on the market for just as long. No huge reduction in prices as we've experienced in FL. But they're still not selling. Are there any "hot" real estate markets now?

    apparently her dad is in the same situation according to the local radio station I was listening to on the way to work

    moral of the story = dont get to close to Brittany unless you can get K Fed close and knock her up a couple of times and get the child support $$

    Therefore, as a result of their instate role as perennial losers in the series, the Cowboys have been consigned to the role of bridesmaid within the borders of the state for the past one hundred and two years, forcing them to relinquish the vast majority of the glory and fame to their rivals in Norman.

    from what i understand Norman and Boulder seem to be doing ok

    of course, $90k in Norman is most of a house in a lot of cases...

    This offer is only good for a few more hours. It drops to $3.25 in the morning.

    It's backed by oil, so like $150.

    Seriously, you'd be surprised (or maybe not) how many of you southerners try to change US money for "Alaska" money.

    My favorite "dumb cheechako" story though is this one:

    My girlfriend was working the summer in a gift store run by the Native Heritage Center. Lots of Native Alaskan arts and crafts-including a bunch of ivory stuff.

    Woman: "What is this?"
    GF: "Ivory."
    W: No it's not.
    GF: Yes, ma'am, it is.
    W: Ivory is illegal.
    GF: Elephant ivory is illegal. Walrus ivory isn't for native artisans.
    W: Walruses are extinct.
    GF: No, ma'am, they are not.
    W: Yes they are.
    GF: Ma'am, my father has hunted walrus. I assure you, they're not extinct.
    W: I want to see your supervisor. You shouldn't be telling lies like that to customers.

    Alternate answer:

    One VeeJay house.

    Veej-for the record, I'm just having fun with you. Hope your place sells for asking soon.

    Then make lemonade. Subdivide and remodel it into Ed McMahon's Paparazzi Bed and Breakfast. Charge $1000 a night and grant roof access.

    Either that, or wait it out. That yainch will OD eventually.
