black diamond 0 Posted November 14, 2009 Author Share Posted November 14, 2009 In the Japanese Hokkaido Shinbun last week. About 10 interested parties already, sale to the highest bidder in spring. Golf course, hilton, ski resrt, the works. Wonder if it will make yahoo auctions? Last sale to Citigroup pushed back the Mizunosawa opening two years. I guess a new lift will take another two-twenty more. That sux but what did you expect citigroup to do? Run a sucessful resort with no previous experience? How about "sprucing" it up a bit, renaming it and flogging it? I guess it's better than thier other business model, dismantling companies and selling them off piece by piece.

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted November 15, 2009 Share Posted November 15, 2009 I had a faulty gay-dar as well snowhuntress. Never crossed my mind that Village People were gay - nor Freddie Mercury - nor George Michael - in fact I got into a stand up argument with my brother that BOY GEORGE was not gay!!! Maybe that was why I ended up dating not one but TWO guys who were gay The ultimate safety date Link to post Share on other sites
