House Hunters: A Window on a Derelict Culture

My wife watches for the scenery, locations and décor.

Mine just to lengthen my #HoneyDo list!

Back then the minimum wage was around 1 dollar.

I was not minimum, but making around $2.55 per hour.

[Elsie]

The median home price in Iowa is about $150k,probably less out in the boonies.

Most anywhere in the boonies is!

It's best, money wise; to get at least one county away from the big population center.

Get maybe 10-15 miles away from county seat and amenities; too.

Farmland all around me; closest neighbor is 1/4 mile

[Elsie]

bingo!

[Elsie]

We moved into our 'retirement' home (yeah, sure!) 15 + years ago.

Put a 15 year mortgage on it and now there is a LOT of change in my pocket; as it got paid off last year!

[Elsie]

I cringe when they just destroy good stuff that could have gone into another house or even their garage.

[suthener]

Good for you! That required a level of planning that I am incapable of.

[GOPsterinMA]

I started to notice they had “partners” when I got rid of cable (nearly 4 years ago). All set with that.

And the show is/was laughingly unrealistic.

[Impy]

I watch this with my mom sometimes. If it’s 2 boys the channel gets changed faster than you can say HIV.

I (alone) recently watched the now famous “throuple” episode. Married couple, picked up another chick in a bar and kept her. I got the impression it was more the wife’s doing.

[GOPsterinMA]

Everything you wrote is so wrong. But, “they” MUST push the agenda.

My mother, who watches this stuff, was thoroughly pissed and disgusted with the “throuple” episode. I didn’t see it, but I presumed a beta cuck would be involved. He was, and apparently too stupid to see the writing on the wall for his relationship. Ask Katie Hill how that $hit worked out.

[Impy]

Katie Hill left her husband for another MAN.

I think the wife in the trouple is a dyke. I would bet the other chick doesn’t let the dude touch her much, but they claimed to sleep in the same bed. 3 people in a king, tight fit unless they are all Mike Bloomberg size.

[fieldmarshaldj]

Hill had all that crap going on (with another woman) and it not only blew up her marriage, it also played a role in costing her the House seat.

I saw a pic of the guy in that throuple show, it’s clear who has the penis in the family.

[Elsie]

Not much planning was needed.

The monthly payments weren’t THAT much different.

Besides; we had very little other bills to pay, so the slight bit more was easily accomplished.

We also downsized at the time.

Now all we have to do is pay the semi-annual rent to the state: property taxes.

[Impy]

I think Hill sleeping with another man is what blew up her marriage.

That hair brushing pic was very dykey though, not sexy at all.

P**n lesbians > Real ones ;-D

[Impy]

Cabo San Lucas is another popular HGTV fable, focusing on gleaming condominiums and stunning views. The hagglers, cheats, swarms of importunate vendors, heavy traffic, sewage treatment problems and evidence of extortionate prices are left on the cutting-room floor. Caveat emptor.

That's where you went right? Is it a shithole?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Almost all “real” lesbians tend to be masculine and unattractive (often done deliberately so). It ain’t like in the movies.

I was thinking of one actress, Ellen Page, who was kinda cute. As soon as she got into the lesbian “scene”, she jettisoned almost anything and everything feminine and cute. Her film career has gone in the toilet, too. Sad. It IS a mental illness.

[GOPsterinMA]

First time I went in 2004 it was VERY nice.

Second time in 2005 it was nice but noticeably not as nice. In just 1 year it declined.

Third (and last time) in 2009 it was a dump.

“Most anywhere in the boonies is!”

That’s true. Even here in California.
