This ping list is for the “other” articles of interest to homeschoolers about education and public school. This can occasionally be a fairly high volume list. Articles pinged to the Another Reason to Homeschool List will be given the keyword of ARTH. (If I remember. If I forget, please feel free to add it yourself)
The main Homeschool Ping List handles the homeschool-specific articles. I hold both the Homeschool Ping List and the Another Reason to Homeschool Ping list. Please freepmail me to let me know if you would like to be added to or removed from either list, or both.
They did a number on Vegas as well. I remember seeing no smoking billboard campaigns in the late 90s around the strip, then came the “Vegas is family friendly!” campaign.
Yea those were local ideas alright...not.
The Dotcom boom brought a lot of them. Vegas was a hub for teleco/Net stuff back then.
Heartbreak Ridge on in a half hour :) I have been told by marine freepers that it is not that realistic but that even they like it :)
Probably the silliest war movie ever made.
“There’s even some decent ones UNDER $100,000.”
Oh please stop kidding yourself. I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area and have been trying to buy a house for four months! Homes are selling within hours. Bidding wars for all price ranges. People are buying homes site unseen. Six or more people bidding for the same house and back up offers are 2-3 deep. My agent is telling me homes in the million dollar range are experiencing the same. Traffic is so bad here, my quality of life is greatly reduced. Can’t get any errands done on the weekend for the traffic!
Yes, please keep telling everyone homes are cheap here and easy to get. *eye roll*
What price range are you looking for?
Wasn’t too impressed with those listings. Most of them were cheap for a reason.
I've never been there but from the media images it looks like a great place to live if you're young and single and rich.
Yep. I moved here in body and spirit decades ago. Everything was fine until one day while shopping for groceries, I looked around me and there they were: Californians. The thought that ran through my mind was, "Oh no, they found me!"
That’s basically what lives there now, at least in Manhattan, the trust funders and the super rich but it really isn’t a cool place to live. It’s liberalism run amok. It’s what I like to call a mini North Korea with food but only the food the Dear Leader allows you to eat. Pretty much everything else about your life is regulated with everything revolving around the Mayor like he’s a mini Kim Jung Un. I lived there last when Bloomberg was Mayor. EVERYTHING revolved around him. All the parades, New Years celebrations, parties, it all revolved around Dear Leader Bloomberg. If a sports team won a championship, there he was in the lead car because he was The Dear Leader. And every monday The Dear Leader would issue a new edict banning something or demanding something from the serfs. I hate that city like the plague, you couldn’t get me back there even if they gave me a free condo. I would immediately sell it and keep the money. It’s truly a liberal cesspool run amok. The outer boroughs like Brooklyn, Bronx, Queens are fast turning into a land for the super rich as well. Rents have quadrupled in the past 20 years alone, and that’s in the outer boroughs. In 1996 I got an apartment in Sunnyside Queens right over the bridge from Manhattan and paid $700 a month. Today it goes for $2800. It’s absolutely insane, and that was a one bedroom dive. Manhattan, forget it. If you can pull in a 7 figure salary and can withstand living around the biggest lib a-holes on the planet, then it might be for you, but for me I would rather get cancer than suffer through that hellhole for even a day.
