I used to do booth duty in my past life. The job was to engage as many potential customers as possible and it was fun (in small doses). It was fun to watch people and how they interacted with the stuff we gave away.
M4L- yeah, but you probably could get it livable for $250 and then take your time, you think?

I await your utopian vision whereby life can be a series of cost-free choices. Until then, I assume that most responsible adults know that sometimes life is a matter of hard choices.
As for costs to the states: why should any individual be bound to the cost to a state that has poor policies. Who the hell gives adamn about that?

bfarwell, the elkins house might require 500k to 800k (am betting on the higher #) to restore. if they slice another 150k, I would give it a look at 100k.
you live crown heights North?
Boothbabes are not only at electronics shows- I’ve played that role (poorly) at artfairs.
