"utilization" - ugh.

I have to say, this one is debatable. I mean, it is a real estate term, so it could easily just be, and likely is, a bad pun.

omg I live near here. tx is full of idiots that don't know jack crap. :)

Debatable??? No way! Stop being forgiving to people who don't know what words mean!

"We're Jealous?"

Did you mean "We're envious?"
