Celivia said “And bad poetry is a turn-off!”

Are you perhaps having a go at me Celivia ?

I know I am pretty good with words though I would be the first to admit that I couldn’t carry a tune in a bucket.

Hmmm LSM, what makes you think I talking about YOUR poetry?

I was talking about bad poetry in general- any bad poetry.
Anything less than…[Read more]

Yeah tough and strong works for me…)
But when you’re in the mood words can be magic, too! Not necessarily poetry though.
And bad poetry is a turn-off!

Yeah I agree with all points except 4 and 9- these can be open for debate. [biggrin]

There was another post a while ago in where smoking addiction was discussed.
I said there, that the motivation for me to give up smoking was because I had found out I was pregnant. THe motivation was so great, that even though I smoked for about 12 or so years ( a 25 pack a day) I just binned my cigarettes and although initially it was a bit hard,…[Read more]

May be a good spot to add here my favourite *fact* from Harvey Krumpet’s fact notebook:

“The bible was written by the same people who thought the earth was flat” [biggrin]

Yeah eeeewwww. [ohno]
Too aweful…I like it![biggrin]

I don’t believe that this is true, Nat R.

It is my first home and I received the $7,000 grant & repay her weekly.

Betterlife, what will happen to the first homeowners grant?

I’m not sure about the timeframe, but don’t you have to live in your PPOR for a certain amount of time, say 6 or 12 months, for you to be able to benefit from this grant?
Do others know about the exact timeframe?

I ring my property manager about once a month- just for a short chat. I don’t like the idea of only ringing them if there’s a problem or something to complain about. I ring them just for no reason other than to say hello. They always sound very happy to talk.

Yes good, bad or ugly!
You say: they are offering a fifteen year rental guarantee of $194.23 a week

I’d want to make very sure that they and their income would be reliable and they are able to make such promises.
Not all hotels are doing that well in Sydney, I know that for a fact!
I mean, a rental guarantee only is as strong as the…[Read more]

Well, a new forum visitor!!!
Welcome, hotshot, I have learnt a lot from these forumites, and I hope you will, too!
Hey do you like our smilies? THey are just so cute![biggrin][cap][suave]

Hello Hudson!

Well… personally I wouldn’t dream of managing it myself, especially if I couldn’t easily visit it!

What will you do if the tenants stop paying rent?

And wouldn’t it be a hassle to organise all repairs and maintenance from a distance?

Who is gonna do your inspection reports?

I think that a good PM is invaluable.

Others will…[Read more]

Hehe Mel, you believed me because my avator has such an honest and innocent face![biggrin]

Hehe Yack![biggrin]
But then, my designer outfit might become filthy!

There is public transport to nearest town (Bowen) twice a week.

Bugger- I would hate to miss that bus!

Very well said, Yack. I feel that way, too.

I mean,if I wanna sell my house for the best price possible, I am not saying:
“Out of the goodness of my heart to HELP OTHERS enjoy living in this wonderful property, I’m putting it on the market for ( X amount of money)”.
Imagine that! Pffff.[biggrin]

Funny, depreciator!
Is that perhaps the reason lenders often are being so secretive about their valuation disclosures?[biggrin]

I am reading “The Real Estate Rookie” by Teresa Wainwright.
Mmmm this book smells nice!

Also reading a Dutch novel, called “Agnes” by Peter van Straaten.

Simon answered no 5: 66 books of the bible.
Mel has answered 13: 32 is the Temperature in Degrees Fahreneit (?) at which Water Freezes

So, we’re done![biggrin]

WOW, I liked this![biggrin]

Maybe for fun we can think of movies with a number in the title.

Such as:
12 Monkeys
the 13th floor
the 5th element
