"It don't come with a refrigerator. I bought one" should explain it even to the most obtuse person. If she were renting it out and she bought a fridge, then the apartment have have come with a fridge. Only an idiot would think that there was any suggestion that she and her brother were renting the house out......and come to think of it..... you are the only one questioning it. She didn't say that they had bought a house and rented it out. Nor did she say that they got a fridge for the tenant. If she had said that they had gone on vacation together and rented a car, would you think that they rented their car to someone else? |

AAMOF, she died very early on a Friday and he and I met with the realtor on Saturday afternoon, and it was sold within the week with a closing date three months later. If we had known that it would sell so fast we would have asked a lot more for it. My wife thought that we moved too fast on it, but that was not her call. To hold on to the unit longer would have meant having to pay taxes, condo fees, utilities etc for the duration. Hell, my parents were pretty good at finances and have approved of the fiscal responsibility. |

![]() Jill, I live in Greenville, SC, and I think refrigerators being included with the house vary with locations. I was in real estate before I retired, and fridges don't come with houses up here......however, when my sister died 4 years ago in Atlanta they do come with the house. Don't dare buy a new one......use that money to get someone to help you stage the house for showing. The smoking could be a huge issue and could require painting and recarpeting the whole house to get rid of the odor. We ran into that wirh my sister's house, especially after it was empty and closed up. You'd be surprised how it clings, and some people are very sensitive to the odor. Good luck! Libby |

It all depends on how much moiney you want to make.
People buy houses just FOR the incredible kitchens/bathrooms. Most folks do NOT want to go out and buy appliances. This is stupid, of course, because IF they went and bought their own kitchen apps, clearly they would save money....but you cant go wrong underestimating the intelligence of the public. Or their imaginations. If a person looks at three houses, all basically with the same rumber oif rooms, etc, and one has a fancy kitchen, that is the one that will sell. If I ever decide to sell, I will take an equity loan and remodel both bathrooms and the kitchen with top of the line stuff. Because livable space sells, I will convert my garage into a downstairts living area, change the garagte door to sliding glass, add a galley kitchen....and add fifty grand OR MORE to the value, OVER what the work will cost me. I might even borrow an extra 20 K and build a descending deck OFF my deck going out over the stream, with a gazebo on it, complete with a fancy schmantzy gas grill and fridge and wine cooler....heh heh heh....adding perhaps an extra 100 K, along wioth the new bathrooms and fancy kitchen. I agree it isnt worth it to JUST go buy a fridge...but IF you can, get a new top of the line fridge,, replace the dishwasher, stove, etc. with top of the line matching gear....Likewise, re-do the bathrooms with up-to-date amenities, like the "bowl" type sinks and "no-touch" toilets that flush automatically. Add the cost to the selling price PLUS an extra 10- 20 grand. You have to remember that people with money are looking for houses, just as people without money are---and the people WITH money arent worried about getting a mortgage loan. So, fancy UP to meet the moneyed market. The "poor" folks who might buy your house "as is" without a fridge probably cant get a mortgage loan, anyway......and the folks WITH money wont be interested.

I've bought properties with and without refrigerators. You ~don't~ have to provide one as long as all is disclosed, etc. But there is such a thing as presentation or staging and the better and more complete the house looks when you are trying to sell it, the more you can get for it.

And your stupid little comment on toilets is just as bad. As I said *previously* (and no-one seems to read the complete content of posts nowadays... stupidity? or illiteracy?) house/flats/condos over here *do not* come with anything in them. No fridge, no washing machine, no furniture, no beds, no nothing. And if someone left any such items in the dwelling, they would be thrown in the rubbish. I s'pose you and your little bitch 'blake' would gladly move into a house and sleep on a bed that's been left there, with sheets that have been left there, without washing anything, wouldn't you? Australians are self-sufficient and don't rely on someone leaving furniture/bedding in a house, so that the next people to move in will have something to sleep on, sit on, wash their clothes in, put their food in. -- Peter Lucas Brisbane Australia I was having dinner with my boss and his wife and she said to me, "How many potatoes would you like Peter?". I said "Ooh, I'll just have one please". She said "It's OK, you don't have to be polite" "Alright" I said "I'll just have one then, you stupid cow". |

I thought they were all still sleeping with the dingoes in the outback ![]() like sleeping with the Australians. If one has eaten in a restaurant i don't see how complaining about bed clothes is particularly relevant (to say nothing of logical), except in the mind of some who have not thought through all the ramifications. The mere fact that 2 such obviously male contributors would be referred to (collectively or singularly) as "bitch" tell me more about the author of the usage than i really care to know ![]() And of course if that usage is typical of Australian males well.....what's the old saying "a handsome face is the best disguise for a treacherous heart"? that Peter Lucas does have some remarkable physiognomy, at least facialy, which is, apparently & unfortunately, as facile as it is facial. -- JL |

One only has to do a quick Google on "Omnitheistic Church". It seems, your "church" has it's own publishing company.... the Omnitheistic Church Press.

So what is australia like iran in your mind? no queers in oz? or do we fall back on the explanation that the male who would even attempt to use such an accusation against another is merely demonstrating their own latency? That natural part of themselves they hate vehemently? its generally the case. Besides, out side of the '***' community, how many men refer to other men as a "bitch"?

So you're saying there's no gays in Iran?? Typical uninformed yank. And for you to get all girly hysterical about me calling you and your mate a pair of bitches, is a bit rich!! I saw your 'Orginization' name, I saw what it stands for, you should be the last person on the planet to be offended at being called a bitch.

Ok, outside of the *** men's community and a penal > colony ![]() It's hard to keep up with contemporary usage of words, especially ones that I don't use, but this dictionary: http://onlineslangdictionary.com/definition+of/bitch gives: "a well-meaning greeting, usually between men. Also bitch-face. What's up, bitch? What's up, bitch-face?" among its 14 definitions of the noun. Also, slang is one of the first things to get localized. Sometimes people in the US think they know the meaning of a word, but it can be used quite differently in other countries. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |

Dog people do use "bitch" or "bitchy" as insults, though. Male dogs will brawl but their fights end when one or the other goes belly-up in submission. Bitch fights are much more vicious and often lethal. There's an old saying in the dog world: "Studs fight to breed. Bitches fight to breathe". |

In fairness, though, a couple of people on this very group, within the last month, said that they wouldn't wash their dog's bedding in their washing machine, out of fear that it would get dirty. We have no babies in our house now, but I well remember washing diapers, including the brown ones, in our washing machine. We did not have a dedicated washing machine for that. -- Dan Abel Petaluma, California USA |

I was thinking along the same lines. I have an expensive front loader too, not the most expensive (LG) - but expensive enough (Maytag). I know Om is caring for more than her share of cats, so I wasn't going to be snide. She's caring for her dad and caring for cats she didn't collect because she made a promise to somebody she loved. I think she's doing the best she can given the situation and had a poor choice of words in that post. Sh*t happens, so does cat hair. -- I never worry about diets.

He literally put the thing in the washer as is, no shaking, nothing. The grit and h air got way down deep into the motor or somewhere bad, judging from the sound of it. The motor quit a few washes later. |
