Growing up I thought it was anything east of 82nd and south of Laurelhurst park! HA! During this home remodeling we've been doing, I actually looked at houses for sale in diffent areas, just to see what we could get if we sold our house as is.....shit........ found beautiful brand new houses in Troutdale, The 'Couv and Tigard and other places like this that would be great to live in.
You said I was the laughing stock of this forum last night. I never asked why you said this. I usually see that term used in a negative light. Were you?
Cause it's fun. The HCP is willing to make fun of himself and does not get upset when you rib him in good nature. I appreciate it.
If everyone joking about sleeping with your wife and making you mow their lawn doesn't make you the 'laughing stock', then okay. I didn't necessarily mean it as a negative. I even admitted that you do bring positive things to the boards. I don't doubt it. However: He's shown none to many people around here, in my opinion.
HCP takes a lot of shit, being the end of countless lawn mower jokes and HCP wife jokes. He takes it in stride and dishes it out some, too. I personally stopped with the HCP wife jokes because I once googled "Mrs. HCP" and the number of results and how rude it all looked wasn't cool.
I think I just miss Doug, and that's why I keep bringing this all up. Back to the topic of this thread... http://money.cnn.com/interactive/economy/middle-class-calculator/index.html
Funny how the Mrs. Jokes started. It was all because of THIS pic I posted years ago......from that point on it just took over like wildfire.
He said the same thing about Mrs. HCP when you're on the road. At least that's my first memory of the jokes...
Ha! You know, it's true! When my daughter graduated from High school, I took a year off work and we all went sailing for the year. Down to Mexico, over to Hawaii and back. It knocked my income way down for two years, but in the end it was not too much of a loss. She got all kinds of help with school cost when we got back, where my son got nothing two years later. And I avoided hitting the 65% brackets or more two years running. While you won't pay that kind a tax anymore, help with school costs is even a bigger deal.
