Housing Prices Are RidiculousCategory: housing
I can't believe this house 
is asking $459,000. I mean I get that people would want to live on Middlesex but seriously, that price for a small ranch with paneled basement that you could find one thousand times over in suburbs? It just seems like they would regret it later when the market crashes further.

That is ONE ugly house - for that price especially and more so if you compare all the GORGEOUS houses downtown!

I agree. That house is one of the uglier ones I have seen in Buffalo. Would rather live off of Richmond, spend half as much and get a much nicer place.
Has the housing market crashed much in Buffalo? I keep hearing about peoples tax assessments going up. But have the values really dropped or stayed the same?

Baby coconut milkCategory: food
I took (e:hodown)'s advice and got myself a baby coconut. The milk and the soft flesh is so yummy.
You basically scoop it out with a spoon. It has the most delicious nutty flavor.

And a smoothie of baby coconut and all purpose cleaner. How appetizing.

The dream light in transit for a monthCategory: stuff
I ordered this lamp I wanted on Feb 27th. I didn't check the options on shipping. I must have gotten stuck with ground shipping. It left the facility in CA on Feb 28th. The estimated arrival time is March 21st. I am now wondering if it is being shipped by bike courier or pony . Leave it to the USPS to make it as slow as possible. Shipping was $6.99 and it is a tiny desk lamp.
Shipment Date: February 28, 2011
Origination: Bell Gardens CA, United States
Destination: Buffalo, NY, United States
Estimated Arrival: March 21, 2011
According to google maps , this is 1 day and 16 hours of driving away. Now I know that is non-stop and that the truck will probably take breaks but 3 weeks worth?

I would pay $69 for it.

So even with the sound, what's your upper and lower reasonable price range?

No I bet it just makes it. It is barely audible. My laptop which was super expensive makes the same noise. Maybe I am just sensitive to the frequency. Thinking about it the laptop has an LED screen. Maybe I don't like the sound of LEDs, lol.

How much do you think you would be willing to pay for it if the noise wasn't there?

Do you think the new ones would make that noise as well? Maybe they sold this unit because its making that whine?

It's neat but not worth the +$100. The biggest con is that it makes a barely audible high pitched noise like some other electronics do.

When I came back from gym, the light was just on the doorstep in a cardboard box, in the rain. You could have stolen it. The USPS system totally failed for tracking. It still has the delivery date as the end of the month.

Maybe Basra ordered a mail-order bride from them when you weren't looking and they are sending the lamp strapped on to the bride's back - you know, as a dowry.
Can I be there to welcome the bridal procession? PLEEEEEEAAAASSSE??? :-)

lol it sounds like she is saying "looking for a little zest and zozo"
Zest = Jess = (e:hodown)
Zozo is her neice
haha - what exactly is zest and zozo? (You should totally post what google voice transcribed this as!)
