This is FUNNY as hell! And I thought I was confrontational!

Are you going to the convention alone? - Posted by karp
Posted by karp on January 19, 1999 at 09:19:56:
It looks like I may be too.
I have tried to convince my wife to go but she has thought of much better ways to spend her birthday (and our money) then a real estate convention.
Hence, I am on my own. JP says you can do this partner thingee and save some bucks. If anyone needs a rommate, email me privately at:
Thanks!

I’m with both of you. I couldn’t get the person I wanted to go with me. They looked at me like I was some kind of nut when I mentioned “real estate convention”. I got one of those “Yeah Right!” looks.
By the way Karp, with all of your money why do you need to save a few bucks :-}?

Karp, I understand your plight. I will also be all alone because while my fiance totally supports my real estate “habit”, she is certainly not going to sit through it with me!

A valuable lesson. You’re never to rich to be a tightwad. Ask him about his accomodations in Austin.

what I will never understand… - Posted by karp

Dude,
I guess I am a child of the '60’s or something but where I sleep has never been a great concern to me. I mean, I am SLEEPING for heck’s sake.
I found my favorite style of accomodations is camping but barring that I check into the Hostels in the area.
Example, I will be in Austin for 10 days… the Hostel wanted 13 bucks a night. I talked 'em down to 100 bucks for the whole ten days…
So what can I do with the 900 bucks I just saved? I dunno, I’ll let you know.
Thanks,
karp

Michael,
I knew what kind of response I was going to get out of it but I expected it from Karp, should have known. :-}.
See you in the chat room.

I wonder if you have a problem with buying sodas in fast food places and popcorn at movies. After I read an article on the markup on sodas I switched to water. What will you be teaching. I won’t be making it to the convention but will think seriously about the next one. You are one person I would like to meet.

Andrew,
Let me tell you about karp.
He asks me to pop popcorn which he takes with him to the movies. As far as a soda, he asks me to put one in my purse and he carries the other one in. Blatently! Right there in front of everybody.
(I think he wants a confrontation)
