Fortunately, I have internet at home and can go to Realtor.com and see every house in the state!

(Unfortunately, most of them are too expensive for me to buy.)

Unfortunately, that's very unfortunate. (Fortunately your not looking all over the state)

Fortunately, there are several I could afford. (Unfortunately, some of them are dumps.)

Unfortunately, I can't find a good answer to that.

Fortunately, I can - buy a cheap dump and invite your friends over for a weekly "Fix 'er up" party. For the price of a keg and some munchies, you get tons of free labor. Lots of good ideas too.

Obviously Kahrey's never seen a Minnesota winter. No rain, just snow - LOTS of snow. We northerners (and my area is very much like Cho's) tend to resemble bears in winter - our layers of outdoor clothing make us look huge :shock: and we hibernate in our caves whenever possible. :cold: :help:

Unfortunately, that's what I did with my current house. I think all my friends would run screamng away!

Ah, yes, the lovely stuff that buries your car every night while you sleep. I can hardly wait. (And my favorite, the ice storms....such pleasure....)

Unfortunately, it's coming. And they're saying it's gonna be hellacious this year. Ack.

(But hey! I might have found my new house tonight, if the people who are interested in mine make an offer. Whoo hoo! More details will follow.)

Fortunately, if you do get that new house, snow shoveling is included (I think).

Unfortunately for those poor devils that have to do the shoveling, it is included in the association fee for the townhouse. Whooo hoooo! Good luck for me. (Of course, if I decided to keep ECM's undead horde, I can make them do it. I can make them put on little fur lined jumpsuits and mukluks. Won't they be adorable?

(Lawn mowing is included too. And did I mention there's a pool? Whoo Hoo.)

Unfortunately, it's an outdoor pool, so I won't be able to swim in it in the winter. Unless I want my new neighbors to think I'm insane....

Unfortunately, if she jumps in before she has woken up, she might drown. :cry:

Fortunately, I have hidden them away. I've become quite fond of them. And I'm right in the middle of teaching them to riverdance!

Unfortunately, they do belong to ECM, and they may be loyal to him.

Fortunately, I am getting tired of trying to teach them to Riverdance, so I'm letting him take them home.

No matter how much they cry and beg to stay.

Unfortunately, we won't have anyone to swab the decks for free anymore.

Fortunately, I have been stalking several landlubbers who will do nicely at scrubbing decks.

Fortunately, they are tasty, so if you are running low on food then you can just eat one. Of course, they are also useful for bribing the cannibals you meet on your travels.

Yes, after a couple are eaten as emergency rations or traded off to cannibals, the rest will renew their deck scrubbing vigor.

Unfortunately, the uncontrollable projectile vomitting due to sea sickness may linger on for a while....
