Oh Tex I like your food traditions. I've never heard of the 12 grape thing, but I'm loving the blackeyed peas and cornbread. We do the sauerkraut and pork thing up here.

Thank you.
*** so: in Paris, you can live in 215ft² with 600euros, at least, when you know that the average salary is around 1300euros... it mean half of your salary into your appartment every month.**

I'm digging all this overin' for the replies to the comments....nice tee with the lady on the front....we can play in those - if we're not any good we can distract 'em!

Let's see, what position do I want to play? You say everyone wears a cup? Okay, then I wanna be the cup!

Holding firm,

It's more something around

It's more something around 14tf*14.
a meter is 3.28 feet so for one meter square you have
3,28x 3,28= 10,75ft so 20m2=( 10,75x20)= 215,1ft2 = 14,67ft*14,67

you can also do 4,472x3,28=14,668

It's funny for a parisian (I live in Paris, France) to see adverts for tiny houses.
Here, you CAN NEVER afford an appartment (not even a house), or, at least with 600 euros (average) per month for 15-20 m^2 (49-65ft^2- if my conversion is OK...10*10ft) of space.
So we are already used to "ecologic comfort" - in an "ecologic hole" called "city".

Happy New Year lovely Grace and everyone!

My wish for the new year would be, that we don't sacrifice Rachel Maddow.

I can feel the tide already turning here in some comments.

I really feel Rachel is the best and brainiest person we have. She is able to articulate (with intelligence and humour) our needs, in a way that straight people will actually keep listening - instead of switching off.

I fear whatever Rachel does for us, it will not be enough for some.

... and she's hot.

My hope for the gays is

My hope for the gays is financial sanity. What you need to know:

1. To save, you must spend less than you earn.
2. Credit card banks (they're not companies) are legalized loan sharks.
3. Money is debt. When you get a loan from a bank (mortgage, car loan, etc) THEY DON'T HAVE THE MONEY THEY LEND YOU. They literally conjure it out of thin air simply by typing it into your account. It becomes "real" when you sign on to pay it to them. Most of the world's money is created this way.

A housing alternative to prolonged renting or mortgages:

Yikes! I missed that stuff.

Yikes! I missed that stuff. That sounds pretty disappointing.

I did watch last night for her "awards" and that was not so good. Perhaps because it was all so low budget, but the content was bad. I wrote it off to her first year and just trying things out. Maybe I need to pay more attention to see if I can catch what you're saying.
