I Want A Boat - She Wants A House
Buckwheats Magnificent 7 nominated article:The 10 Commandments for mortgage applicants really got me thinking. (as did all of the others of course). The number of people who have gone out and bought a car, time share, or a boat just before coming into a loan application has been more than I would have imagined.
Buckwheat said: “The following is a list of things that I see most often as a Loan Officer, that derail the process of getting approved for a mortgage loan.”
6. Tell your loan officer in advance if you plan on making a large purchase.
However he does say -
10. Do have fun.
For the guy who has to have his boat without waiting: I offer the solution - A starter boat.

Sometimes The Blogging Committment Just Knocks One Out.
At other times it is the conversation that takes place with the people you come across, the people in your computer.
Sometimes it is coming up with good content.
It causes some to quit and some to wear out.
The truth of it is, it is fun and can open the consumer to a world of insights. I think blogging is the single most important resume that is available.
So, first of all, warn your teenagers bad blogging could lead to tough sledding in the job market.
Second of all, when you find a blogger all worn out and lying on the street, just throw a little water on him, he is addicted but will be fine. Larry Cragun

So You Say You Will Refinance When Hell Freezes Over!

Call the appraiser. This is Hell.

And this is Hell on wheels.

And you thought Hell was hot.

Sit down and let me tell you about it.
Thanks again to Curtis Cragun for cool, and this time I mean cool, photos. Man this guy gets around.

Smart Women

Barbara Walters of Televisons 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands. From Ms. Walters vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, “Why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?”
The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation, said, “Land Mines.”
BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A SMART WOMAN.
