Looking at all the "celestes" out there, and judging from her looks... I'd say there's a reasonable chance 'celeste' is a go!

Wondering if the astounding year this year, assuming it has something to do with the 0 down mortgages since circa 2017 causing the millenial home ownership rate to double from 20% to 40% from 2016 to 2018, would be shown in this statistic. A low unemployment rate doesn't mean exactly much if "many are sidelined" like thought.

employemntToCivilian.jpg

So, looking at...

nov 2016 : 59.8
nov 2017 : 60.1
nov 2018 : 60.6

Looks like there's been improvement, but kind of tepid.

Especially compared to 1985-2010. Looks like the economy was roaring then.

I think this might be what my neighbor was referring to as "it's getting back to normal", implying it wasn't quite "back to normal". I never knew what "normal" was, since I was merely a taco bell grunt at the time.

Almost makes me think the millenial homeownership rate has more to do with "getting older" than the 0 mortgage down loans...

Probably both.

If I think about high income millenial blowing most of his dough on rent, then it's difficult to save for a 20% down deposit on a $400,000 house. But, with 0 down, they can immediately qualify for a mortgage that costs less than their rent. So, kind of no brainer seeing a lot of higher income millenial renters making the switch, who previously couldn't qualify.

--------------

BTW, can't just "go get her". Where I am going to bring her back? An unfinished house in the frigid cold?

And, really, I'm tied to the house for work. Can't really spend 5 hours on Houston's highways to merely meet someone. She ain't a certainty, only a "possible".

Just heard the "Pretty eyes for a snake" song, yes, that's one the personality questions I want to answer in the meeting. Do I trust her? Is she "friend" or "foe"? Do I feel "lonely in her company"? Things of that nature. I won't accept an enemy regardless of their infatuatory powers.

She already possibly lied. Like, some serious doubt. And that maniacial face when she apparently was anticipating meeting me. And that provocative front cover. So, she's triggered my caution.

She seems generally good natured outside of that. So, it's mere caution.

And, I do mean "Good natured" if you disregard her taped threat displays (Swinging weapons with well-intended vigor) and her pointing the gun at the camera man menacingly, lol.

Oh jesus... I thought, "Oh hell, this girl isn't my sister, is she...", lol.

What kind of girl is this... again... lol.

Thus, why it would be meaningful for a meeting. Some personality questions I'd be curious to their answers.

You know, you could go to HER house, I did.

Dan

You DID? What's she like? Did she even mention Blut?
Daunt, you know I can't afford a 17 year old child, Cost is too high. Besides, I have my soulmate already.
Besides all SHE would do is talk about him, between each heavy breath :lol:

Bkuto, you said she was your soulmate, so go get her. Might be your last chance.

Looks like I need to get the property readied for listing by May 1. That sounds like an appealingly ambitious timetable, oh yes indeed. I like these months long deadlines as opposed to the "Tomorrow you need to get 70 units done" deadlines, lol. (btw, 70 isn't easy, more like impossible.)

It's also quite nice the majority of the work is done from january to April, the best months of the year in Houston to get it done! lol. Not too hot, not too cold, just right.

She's not necessarily my soulmate, there's just a lot I recognize in her about myself, that's all. I really think I might be confusing "lusting for a real pretty model" for a "possible soulmate". The fact she is a model does put a lot into question, lol.

If I get it sold, I can then go buy land and rent some place in Seattle to complete my summer residence, then come back to Houston to complete my winter residence again. Then I'd have a year long development operation going on.

Debating between denver and seattle. Denver can be reached in a day of driving. But, think the girl wants seattle, lol. (I ask myself should I even be concerned... lol)

I want seattle, too. Lots to love about the city. Just, the fact it's... 2500 miles away. That's a hotel trip.

I suspect seattle has a higher ROI, too. Higher housing prices. The nature of a popular west coast coastal city.

And less mexicans. Too far away from mexico, too cold, and not enough local agriculture. Asians are the dominant minority in Seattle, thankfully.

If I were to rent in Seattle, I think I might want to double-time the development efforts, lol. Because, I think the rent would be racking up, so I suspect.

The idea I'll need a "Certificate of occupancy". Shudders.

Divorce rape protection contract. Think that sounds less unappealing than "prenuptial" to some people.

Beauty is there, but there's a beast in her heart

HAHA, exactly what I think of when I think of Amanda. :lol:

That "polite smile" masking the underlying agitation and aggression underneath the surface. This is something that, for example, my sister DOES NOT HAVE. lol You won't find pictures of her pointing the gun at people and swinging that axe with pure anger and hatred, lol. And my sister's marriage appears to be pretty stable. Hard to tell if there's a strong connection between the two, but I suspect there might be.

(Girl wielding a weapon, that's hot, isn't it...)

This is why I'd be curious as to meeting her. Is she a psycho?

hot-crazy2.jpg


Hard to figure out where to put her, lol.

Well, if she is a psycho, maybe that's actually a good thing, compatibility and all that, lol.
 
Summer home now, eh? Who handles your "Production" while you are gone?

Better, you should see 'The Hunt for Red October.' Don't know if it is in the book, but in the movie one of the deserters plans to split his time between the forests of the American North and the deserts of the southwest. "I think I'll need TWO wives. . . ."

Of course that would mean two psychos to fear teaming up with the neighbors to kill you. What if they even worked with each other?
 
Uhhhhhh.... I think I'm just understanding what this Amanda girl is.

She's a career hoe, trading her company for residence and probably funds. And she expects to be in and out within a matter of months. Or upto half a year or somesuch.

Here I am looking for love, and think I'm not experienced enough to look out for these kinds of girls, lol. :lol:

Seem to be damn good at finding the hoes, however, lol.

She looks just a little too classy to be one of those kinds of girls, lol.

This kind of girl is what this guy is singing about.

[youtube]JXRN_LkCa_o[/youtube]

-She going to cheat on you
-She sticks around as long as you got the mullah

So projecting, she's going to be a cash draw. And, I have just enough funds to fully develop this property by May, I think.

Something tells me, this probably isn't going to work.

Black "woman" exist? lol. I swear they are among the hoeist of girls out there.

Well, I guess I could join the "20-something apartment dwelling guy" rite of passage, hosting a hoe.

Just that I'd have to go out of my way, and probably expense, for that... when I want to prioritize funds for development.

I still entertain meeting her, but would like to do so WITHOUT her having expectation of my taking her.

So, what would motivate the lifestyle of this kind of girl.

Assuming she rents (looks like it).

That's a cash draw on her funds.

Shacks up with a guy, gets to keep those funds. And very plausibly supplemented with more funding.

It comes with me. That's why I'm driving all the way to Seattle instead of flying.

Haha.

Yeah, the idea of a girl with an itch to kill teaming up with the neighbors does seem plausible, lol. I think I'm figuring out, should watch out for the girl who seems to like photographing the poison, lol. Again, THAT'S NOT MY SISTER, lol.

She has that itch because she's poor, no? Because, once I got not poor, benevolence increased. Suggesting, it can be remedied. Granted, her spending habits will likely need modification.

Is she a saver or a spender?

Would seem like she's a spender, but don't really really know.
 
Okay, that one post was pretty well all icky.

Got a story for ya. 'Bout how you will see this far different than I will:

Last night I was walking downtown. This isn't the big city, it's a cozy place to be running around alone. Going around the corner this cute girl had her back to me. Once I walked past her, she says "Oh, excuse me." I figured she was thinking she was in the way, I said 'That's fine, ' etc. That should be it.

But she starts after me, I didn't really catch what she started to say. But I look at her, dang, she's ADORABLE. I hadn't noticed. So I'm looking at her and she says "Oh, wait. Nevernimd, sorry." She's giggling. Damn, what a disappointment with her just running off.

So I know your mind is automatically going to "Streetwalker." "Hooker." Like I'm supposed to be flattered that she decides I wouldn't think I'd have to pay. But I don't share your uncharitable outlook. I hate to think about it but my mind goes to he saw a guy and started but then she got a good look at me and just thought 'Oops.' Darn. You see, since she ran off she seems perfect to me now, right?

But you just want to go with 'Hoe.' I LIKE thinking of her as being nice. You don't, eh?

Is there a reason you keep bringing up your sister when you're talking about womanizing, hillbilly?
 
My sister is marriage material, she was specifically chosen for marriage by a "top guy". And, I just happen to know her personality fairly well, so the best personality I have for comparison. And she's not thinking of killing like this Amanda girl commonly seems to, nor has she ever.

It's a common question I'd like to answer about woman. WHO ARE YOU. The spendthrift apartment-hopping hoe hypothesis seemed like a good theory for a time. Now, I'm not so sure.

spendthrift apartment-hopping hoe. is that kind of girl marriage material?

Basically, I don't want to date girls who aren't marriage material, because it could lead in that direction. And that's a lot of time and money to put at risk.

She did get a degree in fashion merchandising. That means she's quality goods, right... lol
 
Marriage material. Right. I was 18 when I started saying I was only interested "If I could be serious about her." So this girl I picked out in college. Marriage material, right? Blew me off, had a fling with a guy her dad's age and the size of, well. . . . Got him to leave his wife and kids. What a success she was, right? She called a radio psychologist, I just happened to be listening. Name, age, city, job, too many details to be someone else, as well as that unique voice. Seems all was not well in got her man ville. Lucky me, I lived a few blocks away, I became the target as she vandalized my house, tried to run me over, etc.

So as for a degree in fashion merchandising, I knew the two going through school together. One had been growing up down the street from me. A real blue chip on the job and at home. I knew her new boyfriend/future husband when she took up with him. The other was a modestly successful model/actress. You probably saw one of her magazine ads, if you saw one particular shower head ad, maybe you tore it out and hung it on the wall. The kind of thing for 'Playboy,' 'Maxim,' etc.

The first wound up thinking better of it and bounced through some other majors but passed on a business degree. She's about to have her first kid. The second got tired of modeling and the way she was treated, I convinced her fashion merchandising was going to be much the same so she switched to business, worked on tax accounting, etc. Damn, she looked good in that shower head ad. It was suggested she was interested in me, I'll say only so far as it could do her some good. I don't really mean that in such a bad way, I just say I didn't see where I needed to think about marriage material in her case. But I'd have thought she was.

They are all spend thrift. They all apartment hop in the right circumstances. To you, they is all hoes, hoes, hoes. Time and money at risk. When I think back on all the disasterous women, I wish I'd never. . . I mean, you know. It's not the time and money I regret. Marriage material I would think has more to do with simply if it could work. An education in fashion marketing just can't keep a woman from being marriage material. Worrying about it could prove a guy isn't.

That doesn’t mean he’s changing the long-term positive model he's held since October 2008, though he acknowledges there will be more blips of negativity along the way. Specifically, he pointed to February as having some “potential downside vulnerability.”

https://www.marketwatch.com/story/people-are-underinvested-and-theyre-going-to-miss-out-warns-wall-street-vet-2018-12-13?siteid=yhoof2&yptr=yahoo

Haha, yep, he's pointing to the earnings reports in February I already surmised would likely trigger action.

Just what exactly should I begin shorting in January is the question.
 
I'm now reviewing my chat logs with a new frame of mind, and I must've sounded like a lovestruck teenager to her, lol.

And I've noticed I keep framing thought out situations with the word "we" recently, lol. Which seems somewhat bizarre since there is no official "we".
 
Left hand started going somewhat numb late last night, a subtle yet distinctly noticeable effect, and think there was simultaneous back pain.

Didn't think much of it.

Went to bed, 2 hours later, not sleeping apparently and felt like my forehead was sweating. Just felt like it, not actual sweat, I don't think. Felt languished, but maybe that's not abnormal after waking from an hour of sleep.

Got up and started pacing.

Went back to bed and suspect I got another 3 hours of sleep. Had a dream, so think I actually slept.

That's the beginning of today's workday, lol.
 
Had a series of sharp left shoulder pain and soon the sensation of weariness/languor wore off, and feeling pretty awake now.

Conniving finagler and malicious schemer. What I've heard women variously called, lol.

I think it's interesting seeing how I'm manipulating the manipulative Amanda, lol. Two psychos playing each others' games.

A game of... manipulation and deceit?

How common is that phrase, just rolls off the tongue.

She had that look on her face with the controller in her hand, "Can I please have it?". lol

Talking about the seattle house.

Then saw the maniacal faces, something I haven't seen elsewhere in her EXTENSIVE feed, and thought, oh... she's plotting something and having just recently tried luring me... what could it be...

So conniving finagler, I just wonder. Is that her?

If I'm building the house in 8 months or so, she's going to need to accomplish a lot. lol

She likes depicting herself a witch, and lot taking seems to be an old profession of witches looking at the historical record. Just that you don't need to kill the husband nowadays, lol. Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but, I think maybe I'm not.
 
Amanda? What happen to. . . ? Damn, you're THAT dangerous?

Dude, in no real pain here. Working on getting in better shape, problems of the last few years really left me out of shape, but I'm progressing.

I should be spouting your level of bitterness over women. I've had the problems for real while you have just cowered in the shadows like a.tremble dog.

But i go walking downtown, past a restaurant that's closed and having a get together for the employees. Some of those women looked nice NOT dressed as a waitress. They seemed to be noticing me as i walked by. Wouldn't it be nice if I wasn't making a big deal over nothing? I could picture you running off to hide, telling yourself they are sluts and bitches after the $11 in you pocket and maybe another $20-30 you might have later.

Wouldn't it be worth it to not be so fearful all the time?

Eh, just a hypothetical side note. I reserve all judgment until I meet them and "get a feel". I'm pretty good at getting "Those feels", I guess you could say I make an excellent judge of character.

Anyway, thought of some lyrics.

My money brings the honey to the yard,
that's right, it's more than yours
that's right, it's more than yours
I could teach you, but I'd have to charge.

Note, that's not me boasting, I'm just making gender appropriate lyrical parodies. I don't really have any of those experiences, so that would be an untrue claim.
 
Need to finalize a design by tomorrow. Might as well think about it today.

Had some issues fitting 3 10x10 bedrooms into a 24x32 with all being at the back of the house (Less noise in the back).

Compromising, putting a bedroom up front, also puts into question where to put the bathroom that's kind of sensible looking. I do want the walk-thru kitchen.

I figure the bathroom is wide as the bathtub, 5 feet. Just like at my old house.

Need to find the graph paper, just where is it.

And, need to figure out the water situation before the 31st. The only thing I can't just "get" from home depot (or the like), but needed anyhow.

And pushing up the priority of the driveway, to buy another car. Seeing how hard it is to get into contact with a neighbor, makes me think I really need to prioritize self-sufficiency which means 2 vehicles. It's needed and budgeted anyway for the project, just pushing up its priority level.

Wanted to ask a neighbor how they're doing running water because the water company suggests NO ONE IS USING THE WATER COMPANY (Despite their lines being here) but can't seem to find anyone. I'm sure at least one or two are home, but unsure of the reasons. Can't hear me being an obvious possibility. Regardless, self sufficiency is getting prioritized.

Looks like the viet couple is closing down shop. Rather discreet about it. The only hint as to that happening was a paper sign saying "EVERYTHING MUST GO", taped onto the display board, that has now been taken down and the shop is closed (That's unusual) and I'm seeing lots of merchandise getting packed into boxes.

So this song you're writing: I have a title;

'I'm Payin', you be playin'.'

Yeah, the woman players. lol

The lyrics sound pretty appropriate for that title, lol.

The guy believes he can buy female affections with gifts and gifts of money, and whatnot, as opposed to... boldly pursuing her as his own. Increasing the tension. Flirting. Touching. Bullying. Teasing. Getting angry at.

Keep thinking this whole "Let's get a house" approach is really just an invitation to getting played. Maybe I don't have the best approaches in practice, lol. :roll: :lol:

An invitation to getting played would explain that maniacal faced plotting I could subtly espy.

It's nice thinking I could potentially spot the failures in my approaches, but what could I do instead? How the heck do you do physical flirting and nonverbal and tonal stuff online? lol.

It's interesting thinking I can spot the tension dying off as I pander to material interests, and then /I LOSE INTEREST/, and not just the girl, lol.

Didn't fall asleep until 5 a.m. and then woke up at 9.

Felt pretty awake.

Nothing alarming about today, save for the periodic left hand numbness and feeling of urgency (That soon dissipates), and this subtle feeling of sweatiness I don't normally experience. I'd assume maybe stress, but I didn't usually get the sweaty feeling say... 2 weeks ago... despite there being MUCH HIGHER levels of stress, lol.

------------

I get bread, get head, and frock these hoes
In that order
Don't switch it around
Relationships change, it's so different now
No high-school sweetheart
These bitches pimpin'

Yeah, just what I was referring, the woman players. Getting your bread, and keep finding the men with bread on the table.

Hella "Instagram likes" but you ain't pretty, bitch!

Oh. So the hoes usually aren't pretty... (But presumably provocative)

So the pretty ones are more often the highschool sweethearts, lol.

So maybe the pretty ones aren't too bad, normally.

But if they're pretty AND provocative... well... borderline case, lol.

Saw on the gis maps that the mexicans had a mortage on the property, looks like they must've refinanced or something. The fund itself suggested the prior loan was "in distress".

Man, just wonder what would've happened to the neighborhood if the mexicans got kicked out. It'd be an all white neighborhood and the harrassing elements would simply begone. Can't let that happen, "diversity" is good for neighborhoods after all, LOL!

Imagine how they feel seeing this young white guy building his own home right next door, while they're drowning in the mortgage. I can surmise their resentment might have some basis in reality, lol.

Looks like their 2000 sqft. house has a tax valuation of $126,000, was $100,000 in 2014.

Wow, what's the $$/sqft. on that?

$58/sqft.

And this $21,000 768sqft. home has a $$/sqft cost of $27/sqft.

Barely making $30/sqft.

What happened to the $80/sqft. I was normally seeing across town?

I guess this area gets $56/sqft. It'd make sense "The neighborhood" would impact the sqft. values, and in a downward direction, apparently.

It'd imply ponying up an extra $20,000 for "higher value" land at an extra $24/sqft. for the house would pay off at sizes greater than 20,000/24 = 833 sq.ft.

So basically building houses on this land are worthwhile for small ones. Larger houses payoff in the better neighborhoods.

Well, that's just perfect, with small houses being just what I can afford out of pocket, lol.

That does reduce my expected earnings. Which isn't bad or anything, it's still worthwhile labor and all.. it's just making me think I'd rather be working on higher $$/sqft. locations, lol.
 
So I must admit there's the possibility you have hit on a workable approach. Women can be so contrary. Try to do the right things, she'll resist.

I suppose if you REALLY want a proper wife, she'll resist you being just a playa, so act out on all your "Women's is how's" fantasizes" and she'll insist on forcing her perfect wifeness on you.
 
Got the graph paper, and got a possible suitable layout for a 24x32 with 3 bedrooms. There are compromises, mainly, no view of the backyard from the living room. And the "master bedroom" is a 10x10, just like the rest of 'em.

Think maybe I could engineer a way to get a view of the back. Like create a window in the proposed "laundry room" area and don't door it off.

The living room is a 12x12.
