Off topic:  That geico ad that rips on new homeowners not becoming like their parents... I'm guilty of about 90 percent of the things they parody.  

I am totally the lady with too many sofa cushions.

Why??

Because replacing all the flooring, roofing, walls in that house will cost less in USD than I just paid for a dishwasher. And he doesn’t have the money, but he had thousands for the airfare to get laid.

Her mother just literally fell through that floor to her death. Figure it out, man.

really?  My friend is replacing his roof with a metal one and it's costing 12K Canadian. I replaced my dishwasher and I got the family and friends rate thru Whirlpool and it still costed me around 1K

You wouldn’t get me up those stairs!

Yeah and very morbid but not outside the realm of possibility that a podcast I’m sure lots of us listen to was speculating that an American of a certain size walking around the “house” could have made the collapse possible…

Commercial! Who has anecdotes? Yesterday we went to two estate sales and had the time of our lives. I found a lovely little table for my front porch and another Revereware pan, among other treasures. Houseguest and I both love snooping around people's houses so that was a bonus. One guy had a file cabinet stuffed with theater programs. He must have been a subscriber to every theater and company for miles around, for YEARS.

I think the 1700 is damn cheap for a roof, walls and flooring. I am sure they can bargain him down or find someone to do it for 1400?!

David could offer some money towards to the repairs

It’s nothing. 1700 dollars to make sure she and her dad and kid don’t die next is a steal.

I feel sorry for Sheila but she could have bargained for less.  And make the contractor aware that David was not paying for it.  Usually in other countries prices go up when they see an American involved.

Mrs. FB and I saw Cheap Trick and Rod Stewart on Friday...we had such a great time we're going to see his Vegas residency in November.

I saw Cheap Trick about a million years ago in Boston. Great show!

I saw a commercial for STP and Smashing Pumpkins playing a local casino and felt really old although they get some good bands…

Oh fuck off, Amanda.  Does everything have to be romantic??  Get some culture while you're in another country.

I'm sure the only place she is happy is the mall.

She was hoping they'd go to one of those places where you dress up in a costume and they take your picture.

They're getting TLC money of $1 or 2k  for every episode they're in, that should be plenty to fix up the house.

it's the American that gets the money.

To be fair David seems like an upstanding guy and would share it.
