If my parents could have known for what price I was able to sell the small house they left me, they'd be absolutely gobsmacked...as was I! I had ploughed most of my retirement lump sum into improving it, but that came back to me manyfold. I benefited from fortunate timing; but they themselves had lost from a few dips and dives and unfortunate timings during their many moves over the years.

I didn't fully "get it". I do remember being surprised to see David Bowie pop up - don't think his was a very big part in the film though. <br /> Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-69866939819519640802016-01-11T09:53:07.464-06:002016-01-11T09:53:07.464-06:00RIP David Bowie.

I added a fireplace in the living room and redid the bathroom with extra storage,fenced in the backyard and in 1983 I sold it for $37,000.. during those years the real estate prices really made a jump and I was fortunate to be able to benefit from that.Sonny Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06926830309207639536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-61299412828327505372016-01-11T09:37:02.505-06:002016-01-11T09:37:02.505-06:00Twilight, I see that David Bowie played Nikolas Te...Twilight, I see that David Bowie played Nikolas Tesla in "The Prestige", a movie that is not available on Netflix. Have you seen the movie? It sounds good. I didn't realize that Bowie played in that film, but read it this morning in his death announcement.<br />https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prestige_%28film%29mike (again)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-57883354411219327432016-01-11T09:35:33.819-06:002016-01-11T09:35:33.819-06:00mike + (again) ~ I remember those. :-)

Most of us can still relate to the songs mentioned by all 3 of us, but trying to relate to those gas and property prices sends us to la-la land! <br /><br />Sad news about David Bowie. Jonathan Cainer has a very nice tribute to him up on his front page - do go take a look: http://www.cainer.com/<br />Twilighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14138621610593773784noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16659850.post-68938970831302227692016-01-11T09:28:32.540-06:002016-01-11T09:28:32.540-06:00Sonny ~ LOL!
