Less home construction is actually good news since it will mean less inventory.

Anybody see Suzie Orman on Travis last night? She said there's a double dip coming in 2012.

Wouldn't that be the triple-dip, or "tripdip" as I like to call it.

Suzie Orman, dispite her propesity for ornate outerwear, is usually right with here practical financial advice. Double dip, triple dip it does not matter. As Suzie says, "if you eat out every night you could save the economy".

Riversider: She has nothing to offer to anybody, a drunken pig on an alkie rampage. Again.

Genteel? A pig has no class, it's just a pig. She's lightened-up on the cursing people out ever since her meltdown last summer. Also sparing us the details of her "vacations", her in-laws, and of course - Ralph the corp.attny.

So at least that's an improvement. Can't expect much from a drunken pig.

She and her gang-members follow me around on SE with their pathetic "comments", and then complain because I don't run away.

ar, mind saying which cities? mild pangs of jealousy aside, it's great when people are still able to vacation in an old fashioned way. and contrary to popular belief, a month in europe only sounds elitist. price wise, a month at the jersey shore is actually far more elite, lol. you go every year, right? do you always stay in the same cities? also, i'm sure this has occured to you, since you're spending a long time there have you considered enrolling your daughter in some kind of summer program?

lucille, it IS fairly inexpensive to travel in europe, particularly if you travel mid-June to mid-July instead of later, when prices go much higher. there are really beautiful apartments and villas that are extremely reasonable just about everywhere (unless you need A/C in london or paris, which can jack up your costs considerably). just a note to those interested in going to europe via london, both this year and last i got fairly burned, price-wise ($1300 per ticket vs. $850, which for four tickets represents a not-insignificant $1800), by purchasing my tickets months in advance. i'm a total wimp and will only take the morning flights, so i always book way in advance, and it just hasn't been necessary.

the past four years (including this year) have included london (4 times), rome (3 times), paris (3 times), istanbul (once), coast of turkey (once), tuscany (once), nice (twice), bonnieux (once, and quite possibly my favorite), barcelona (once).

parsons has a program for high school students in paris, and we're thinking about it, but not for a year or two. there's also a good immersion language program in antibes that's on my radar.

ok, over sharing, here it goes. i know the parsons paris program well. it's a fabulous school and the teachers are active and successful in their fields. but be careful, it's a small wonderful community of quirky creative people who really try help eachother. she may not want to part from them for long.

ar, sounds like you have your plans in order, but you're right about airfare being nuts this year. We lucked out and got cheap tix to Barcelona in June ($640 direct!), but my parents are paying ~$1400 to Paris with a layover I believe. Also, I think I know the immersion program in Antibes - it's a good spot to be in. Just hope your daughter doesn't pick up that southern accent.

Watch your cheap tix - when they add the $500 security tax surcharge onto the bill for international flights.

RS, hate? you must be joking. i was just having a damned good time. it's so easy to get truth to drop that dippy happy-go-lucky "aren't i a charming eccentric?" attention-getting facade. but if you like her so much (and in the past you've certainly seemed to!!) maybe you should spend sunday with her, she's looking for ideas and keith might not be available.

lucille, i'd love a program like the one you describe. bjw, thanks for the info, we'll warn her about the accent issue.

The Paris fare is about what I paid NYC-Florence-Venice-NYC: the ticket itself was about $850; the rest was US "security surcharge," though for the life of me I didn't see what they were doing.

Quadruple dip seems extraordinary. If you segment the population, the 20-40% group remains suffering and in need of continued assistance, the 40-60% group is belt tightening but not changing their outlook on their desire to work hard and get ahead, the 60-85% group is doing fine and is sympathetic to the tough times of some others as long as they haven't been irresponsible, and the top decile +/- is doing great.
