This is the thread where we add still more personal information to Aaron's growing database of our intimate details. I'm hoping Aaron's home has at least 5 times as many flags as mine.
Next up: retina scans and DNA swabs.

Wow. That's really nice.
And exactly what I thought it would look like.

Agreed!
A somewhat standard home here in Texas, which is one of the cheapest places to own a home in the United States. I couldn't have purchased a 400-square-foot hovel in Orange County for what I paid for this place, hence the move.
Are real estate prices in Europe crashing like they are here? Luckily Texas has been somewhat immune due to the fact that our prices didn't experience the unsustainable meteoric rise like the rest of the country.
Prices are varying drastically. Still going up in London.

Look - I know you lot can't speak English properly but why do you insist on calling it "real" estate? Is that as opposed to artificial estate?
Wikipedia says it's a legal matter:
In law, the word real means relating to a thing (res/rei, thing, from O.Fr. reel, from L.L. realis "actual," from Latin. res, "matter, thing"[2]), as distinguished from a person. Thus the law broadly distinguishes between "real" property (land and anything affixed to it) and "personal" property (everything else, e.g., clothing, furniture, money). The conceptual difference was between immovable property, which would transfer title along with the land, and movable property, which a person would retain title to. The oldest use of the term "Real Estate" that has been preserved in historical records was in 1666.
Blimey. I've wondered that at times myself. Interesting to know!
Good call DaBoot. I had never thought of that before.
Also; nice house. 
I currently rent myself.

But I thought you lived with the rest of the Muppets in that old theater ? Did you have a falling out with Sam the Eagle of something? I bet he'd be a real jerk to live with. With his creepy eyes and all.
