Just for Fun!

House valuation seems to be more "art" (or arbitrary) than science. I closed on a real estate purchase last week. Two (2) weeks prior to my offer to buy the house the seller had closed on a refinance where the appraiser valued the house at $1.5M. Three (3) weeks later the SAME appraiser valued the same house at $1.35M on a purchase contract. Luckily I purchased the home for $1.2M, but it boggles my mind how arbitrary it all is.

The below joke (reality) makes that point...

Your house as seen by...

Yourself:


Your Buyer:


Your Lender:


Your Appraiser:


Your Tax Assessor:

Laughter is good for you... see article below :-)

One Sunday morning, a priest wakes up and decides to go golfing. He calls his boss and says that he feels very sick, and won't be able to go to work.

Way up in heaven, Saint Peter sees all this and asks God, ''Are you really going to let him get away with this?'' ''No, I guess not,'' says God.

The priest drives about five to six hours away, so he doesn't bump into anyone he knows. The golf course is empty when he gets there. So he takes his first swing, drives the ball 495 yards away and gets a hole in one.

Saint Peter watches in disbelief and asks, '' Why did you let him do that?''

To this God says, ''Who's he going to tell?''

Laugh Your Butt Off!

New studies are revealing the surprising health benefits of busting a gut.

Laughter, it turns out, nearly rivals exercise when it comes to health and brain-boosting powers.

Laughter helps:

• Prevent diseases,
• Increases blood flow (as much as being on a treadmill!),
• Sharpens your thinking,
• And improves your social life.

YOU KNOW YOU ARE LIVING IN 2007 when...

1. You accidentally enter your password on the microwave.
2. You haven't played solitaire with real cards in years.
3. You have a list of 15 phone numbers to reach your family of 3.
4. You e-mail the person who works at the desk next to you.
5. Your reason for not staying in touch with friends and family is that they don't have e-mail addresses.
6. You pull up in your own driveway and use your cell phone to see if anyone is home to help you carry in the groceries.
7. Every commercial on television has a web site at the bottom of the screen.
8. Leaving the house without your cell phone, which you didn't have the first 20 or 30 (or 60) years of your life, is now a cause for panic and you turn around to go and get it.
10. You get up in the morning and go on line before getting your coffee.
11. You start tilting your head sideways to smile. : )
12. You're reading this and nodding and laughing.
13. You are too busy to notice there was no #9 on this list.
14. You actually scrolled back up to check that there wasn't a #9 on this list AND NOW YOU ARE LAUGHING at yourself.
