Hi!


Hi! Mind if I disturb your bookkeeping for just one sec? My organization is in your neighborhood tonight, collecting for the Fund to Help People Who Need More Household Textiles. Do you happen to have any spare household textiles? We'll take anything.

No?

You sure?

You don't have any household textiles you can spare?

You're using it all?

Well, okay. Thanks for your time!

The body is in remarkably good condition, because judging from the height of the grass it's been in that seat for a long, long time.

I don't know what disturbs me more, the state of the home in the listing photos or the fact that $350,000 for an 870 sq. ft. house is a short sell. I'll just cross Seattle off the list of places I'd ever live if THAT is a $350,000 house.

Maybe she misses prison... It's hard to get that "back in ole chokey' aesthetic in a way that is socially acceptable for visitors.

Bath mobility aid + overgrown loan = some young neighbour should have stepped up to the plate by now. Tsk.

I understand the whole concept of tiebacks for drapes, but would someone please explain to me in a lucid manner the reasoning behind tying your drapes in the MIDDLE of the window? I have never understood that one. I saw it first in really poor places where their window treatments didn't come with tiebacks, so the occupants would just tie a big fat knot in the curtain. Somehow that has evolved into a home fashion statement. Why, oh why?

Overgrown lawn, not loan. Lawn.

Gah!

I have to disagree, Glory von Hathor, a short sale that cost 350K for that house? I think we are definitely dealing with an overgrown loan. Holy crap.

So there must be something outside that the owner desperately wishes to avoid seeing. That particular window treatment in Seattle, not known as the Sunshine Capital for a reason, would make for some dark indoors.

At least the toilet lid is closed. :)

Although, the top is missing...

She's too busy with her bookkeeping to clean the house or mow the lawn.
