No one is laughing at you, don't let her trick you into believing that BS. I read you're profile and it's wonderful to see that you are a Good Decent and Blessed American. Anyone would be proud to be a neighbor of yours.

If nopardons is as rude to her neighbors as she is on FR GOD help them.

BTW: DO you think all the property you own, might enable you to buy MJ's Neverland Ranch that is for sale?

That's prime property up there? Or is your current house larger than Neverland?

Maybe you could of bought Brad Pitts and Jennifer Anniston's house that sold in Malibu for 23 million?

You speak as if you have that kind of money...

Thanks for the encouragement. I could care less what NP thinks.

I wouldn't be surprised if she really lives in an assisted living facility or nursing home somewhere.

When you finally learn how to read, with comprehension, then and ONLY then, get back to me, retread, who so enjoys posting to clownposse. And BTW..............my net worth is none of your business, what I do or do not do with my money, is, likewise, none of your business, and finally, you are neither cute, nor clever. Oh yes, and I wouldn't live in California, if you paid me a million dollars a day; not my kind of place. :-)

NP-I am use to you being *snarky* with me, isn't that the word you like to use? but why don't you admit how nasty you were to the other's here on thier knowledge of cities with real estate *Bubbles*?

Yes your money is none of my buisness, so why do you make it your buisness to say things like I have a bigger house than you, more acreage etc..?

You are hell bent on always wanting to be right admit it..
You are a smart woman on some things I will give you that but you sure the heck haven't mastered every known subject to man, if you have please let me donate to you're cause, but since you haven't you are right donated to a worthy cause a poster on another site is doing for the troops.

Nothing wrong with that....You don't always have to be a pit-bill why not be a lapso alpso sometime...Peace! Its friday!

2)I still bet that your house is smaller than mine is 3)I have far more acreage than you do

Be really careful with a bet like that. You would be surprised who posts here.

I know for a fact there are people on this forum who live in 15,000 sq.ft. houses on the ocean. Proudpapa could be one of them.

Oh oh...back the ungrammatical, badly written posts. What's the matter, you forgot that that is your MO/persona here, and slipped up?

I suggest that you read ALL of my posts and the replies I got, on this thread. If you still have problems with comprehension, please get someone to help you.

FWIW, and LORD knows WHY I am bothering to explain this to you, of all people...no, I don't know EVERYTHING about EVERYTHING and have never claimed to. Unlike many here, I do NOT post authoritatively about things I don't know anything about. As a matter of fact, if I do post, I DO know about the topic.

Who asked yopu to donate to me and why on earth should you do so? ROTFLOL

My charitable contributions are none of your business and they are something I don't talk about; especially NOT here.

Are you moribundly unaware of what Jim Robinson posted to FR about cp? Are you THAT dense, to not realize that posting about that topic, after Jim posted what he has, is probably a banable offense? Are you begging to be banned a second time?

Pssssssssssssssssssssssssst.........laney/missyme/****** (your real name, which I do know, but wont post ), can't you ever post to any thread, without making it ALL ABOUT YOU? This thread's topic is about real estate and the "BUBBLE" which is not national, but which people have tried to claim it is/is going to be, for the past TWO/THREE years.

The size of my home, reveals very little about who I am, or what I treasure.


However, after reading Nopardons messages, there is no doubt what kind of a person she is.


She could brighten up a room, just by leaving.

Deep,deep,deep,deep down she's a very shallow person.

I suspect she makes Hillary seem likeable. Oops, now I've gone too far.

I happen to know a LOT of FREEPERS well; well enough to know them off line. My FREEPER FRiends come from all walks of life and social strata. And while I don't "know" the other poster, whom I "bet"; I stand by it. And might I suggest that YOU don't know me at all and so, you have NO idea what kind of a house I live in.

OTOH, a 15,000 square foot house on a measly acre and 1/2 ( or was that an acre and ? YOU and I should reread his post about that ), would be a behemoth on a postage stamp. :-)

You have to go WAY back on this thread to find anyone who supports the Queen of Chicago's Gold Coast.

And you have to go waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay back on this thread, USED TO LIVE IN THE LOOP, to find the thread's topic actually being discussed. ;^)

And posting this to someone, whose last post was a more than a day ago and had nothing at all to do with what you wrote, whilst also pinging others ( was that an invite to pile on and continue in your baiting ?), attempting to incite or further a flame war, is pretty pathetic; not to mention against FR's posting rules.

But then, since you are incapable of actually debating the topic of this thread, have no facts to support your position, I guess that's all you can do. Pity that...........

Okay, NP, you can have the last word. Go ahead. Hope it makes you feel better, like you've won.

I was trying to point out that there are people who post here who have some very large houses. Some of those people are pretty well known too. It's risky to bet that your house is larger than theirs. Somewhat poor form as well.

I've heard it said that in Texas one never asks another how many head of cattle they have. There is probably some analogous rule here on FR! LOL

This is so far removed from the thread's topic, as to be pathetically bizarre.

I was going to completely ignore your post, however, for the benefit of lurkers and any you, I'm going to correct the implications that your snide post has made and also supply facts; which are glaringly missing from your assumptions and misstatements.

First of all, you came quite late to the pile on, of me. If you had bothered to read all of the posts, from this back and forth, that has devolved into this baseless sniping, baiting, and flame war against me, you would have seen that the person, whom you are so cavalierly defending, began the one upsmanship peeing contest. He's also lied; BTW.

On this thread, he has claimed to have lived in Chicago for ten years. On his personal page, he states, quite clearly, that he lived in Cjhicago for eightyears.

He said that he lived in the LOOP. Unlike you, I know what the size of those apartments are. I also know what size apartment I lived in. My claiming tot have lived in a far larger place, wasn't an educated "guess"; it was a factual deduction and was a refutation to his statement about how EVERYONE who lives in a big city is squeezed, "sardine-like" into tiny spaces.

Following your own caviling, re that it is "risky to bet that your house is larger than theirs"...yes, I agree, but since you not only don't know about 1) the housing market in Chicago 2) the size of various domiciles there 3) nor anything whatsoever about the size of the places I have and/or do live in, you should stop embarrassing yourself,now, in the attempt to make it appear that it is I who began this and am the one making an outlandish assumption about someone else's square footage. And as to the "bad form", tell that to yourself, dear, regarding your high handed pile-on. LOL

All hat and no cattle is the phrase you've been struggling to find.

And no, there isn't a posting rule about asking how much someone else has. OTOH, there IS a FR rule ( which surely you MUST know of, since you've been here as long as you have ) about flaming and baiting and piling on. Funny, isn't it, that you keep breaking that FR rule; pet? ;^)

"On this thread, he has claimed to have lived in Chicago for ten years. On his personal page, he states, quite clearly, that he lived in Cjhicago for eightyears."

Okay,NP, you caught me. I actually lived in Skokie for 1.5 years and on Erie St., Chicago For just over 8 years. Overall, about 10 years.

I've been inside many of the view homes on the Gold Cost. Funny thing. Most have the shades drawn because the sunlight is too bright, as it reflects off the lake.

And then winter comes and you watch as the boaters move the boats off the lake into storage, just before the lake ices over for the winter. For about 4 months it's too damn cold to go outside.

Right on. No bubble in Chicago. (sarcasm)

Np is desperate to "win" this, so please let this be the last post. Let's graciously let NP have the last word.
