Once apon a time, this was a good piece of software website. Now there are so many others that allow editing for spelling, embedded images, bold, among other things and the big thing is a new post goes to the top of the list so members can find them.
I posted these a year ago. With new software, they could have been found and not repeated, then added onto.
WHAT DO YOU THINK?

Be very careful of buying on west coast. My friend Ron Hoya bought a new house in Los Banos, CA. He then moved to Hanford and bought another house before the Los Banos house closed escrow.
It turns out he was dealing with a "flipper" who backed out.
Ron now has two houses. Price? 0.15 acre and 3200 sq ft house for only $599,000
The other house was more. He rented a 1200 sq ft house during construction for $1200/mo
I would rent. The CA bubble may ne bursting even as we speak.

In Wisc we have Lake Geneva. It is halfway netween Chicago and Milwaukee. When lots (tear downs) hit one million, Pewaukee lake hit $250k. The Minocqua chain hit 100k and lots on little lakes in the north hit $30k.
I call this the Lake Geneva effect. It would be foolish to think the fourth biggest, second deepest, and cleanest lake in Wisc only 60 miles from Chicago money should sell for the same as a place 30 miles from the nearest store that is so cold, it does not thaw until May 5 some years.
Its as they say; location is everything. You can buy a lot on Murphy Lake for $55k right now.
I bought a lot on the Fox river in Omro, WI for $3500. in 1971. Sold it 1n 1996 for $18,000. In 1971, a lot on Pewaukee lake would have been $40,000, now close to the million mark.
A friend of mine just paid $600,000 for a 3200 sq foot house in CA on a 0.15 acre lot in Los Banos. I think he's crazy, but its his money.

Above were posted a year ago but would have fit into today's posts. Almost impossible to find here. You need the posters name.
I called this company. It costs $85/year to lease their software which is wonderful. Another $45/year to host a site + 8.95yr for the name.. The current us-waters.com must make a fortune off our content. We could have ads or come up with the ~ $140 per year cost.
See example at:
http://www.thehighroad.org/ copy and paste if needed. It is not needed on the vbulletin software.
