        if it happens to me, it happens. I'm not gonna live my life afraid of anything. that's just stupid to me -- nm - CQ Jun 28, 17:16 15
        
        there's a big difference between living in big fear and having a healthy sense of caution and taking care. - b! Jun 28, 17:21 14

        I know that, but I'm not gonna act like that jackass from Along Came Polly -- nm - CQ Jun 28, 17:43 4
        
        all anyone is saying is don't be a dumbass. - loosilu Jun 28, 18:32 3

That house was up to 30 viewings scheduled before we got there. Our realtor got us in first ... And it was a shithole. Heh. - Beryllium (iPhone) Jun 28, 15:38 6
- no real photos of the house, but this tag has some yard photos, and some crowd photos, and a deer video -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 28, 16:17 [flickr]
