Thanksgiving is upon us and while we all know and love the traditions, what about the history left out of the mix? Did you know that FDR tried to move Thanksgiving and that this beloved holiday gave birth to the TV dinner?

In case you missed it -- or were just plain confused -- this week saw the release of a bewildering number of housing indicators. The S&P/Case-Shiller Index, which tracks national home prices, reported a tiny gain in home prices for September -- for the fifth consecutive month of growth.

@ Michael Arnold - Same here. Here in the SF Bay Area we have overpaid, underworked chumps that pay way over 500K for places that sold for less than 10K when they were new. Those idiots just drive up prices and ruin it for the intelligent buyers. You'll know when the market has bottomed out because that's when I'll buy. My offer is a hundred bucks for a detached single family unit and no homeowner's assn.

@Jeff & Erin -- exactly! I'm perfectly content with my newly built 1820sqft for 132K in an HOA @ $160 every 6 months, 4 pools, 2 fitness centers, playgrounds throughout, several nicely paved greenbelts alongside the lake/streams for family walks... :-) But then again I'm not in SF, am about 40 minutes north of Dallas TX.

Good for your mom, Beth. Women provide life to men, and then they're killed, raped, etc. by men. Seems like women are getting the short end of the stick in this deal....So, Mike, what if we were talking about your mom, or sister, or wife, or daughter, or any female close to you....?
