I never thought of McFloaties, but looks like they do indeed exist. Too bad.

We are having a little problem with itchy skin, so I have switched out her food for something a little plainer and done a flea treatment just to be on the safe side. <br /><br />These aren't really 'houseboats' because they can't go anywhere and they are on a different floation system. They are pretty cool. The Sleepless in Seattle one was my favorite. <br /><br />Pam - I think it may be on my bucket list again, I really miss the lifestyle and who know maybe I will go back to it. <br /><br />Trobairitz - Floathomes used to be a lovely lifestyle and not as pretentious as it is now. Most regular folks can't afford it because the monster homes are around $300,000+ to build and then you do a water lease for X number of years and there is also a monthly moorage fee on top. So you are paying for the water lease - usually up front and then your mortgage (if you can get one) and then a monthly fee which is generally over $1500+. Things have certainly changed since I moved off 14 years ago. <br /><br />Rakel - Welcome to Scooterpie Blog! Your blog is pretty snazzy too!Dar https://www.blogger.com/profile/14690180541358767168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7912722884165693795.post-23906766201943520262012-12-05T08:44:09.583-08:002012-12-05T08:44:09.583-08:00It amazes me how floating homes have gone from sma...It amazes me how floating homes have gone from small quaint inexpensive homes to the monster two and three storied ones you can see today.
