Love this. It explains why I stay in my itty bitty house we bought as a foreclosure. Also when the bank sells your house due to foreclosure, you are still responsible for the difference in the loan. if you sell high great you mght even get a buck or 2 but sell low and you will find yourself with judements against you.

food for thought. Take this lovingly from a friend living with 3 wow addicts.
(yes 3 even the 5 yr old had to learn in order to get attention from the boys.)
It may be inexpensive but not cheap. I find after being on their computers all day they are miserable. I bring them food and drink because they would not disconnect long enough to come up and eat. Although we rarely text we email each other from one couch to another. ( A nice way to keep the kids out of intimate conversations but when are we a family?) I have found since letting the baby use my computer so they can a play together (3 computers) I have started finishing thengs that should have been done long ago. litte things like hanging trim that has been in the garage for 2 years. cleaning files out of cabinets, bleachwashing walls and ceilings. making our house a home that the kids wouldn’t be ashamed to have friends over to. (if they would ever get off the computer. )I feel better about myself and our home since I have unplugged a little I limit myself to about an hour Otherwise when I finally leave the couch i am grouchy and feel like I have wasted the day. So here is my advice. turn off the computers and sit down and chat. i had a real conversation with John the other day while road runner was down. I had forgotten how much I liked him. try it unplug for a few hours. It can be fun!!

Comment on Is Elbow Grease Coming Back Into Style? by Stefan

You’re probably as looney-tunes as you sound … but certainly not for the reasons you state! LOL!

But this higher-education seeking generation shouldn’t fear for the elderly or infirm parents. Since said parents have given so much so that their children could have everything they ever wanted, they wouldn’t want to burden them in their healthy family years, so they’ll most likely take the euthanization option that will surely be granted by the social government’s health care plan anyhow. No sense being a bother to our children, right?

Sigh … I wonder what the children of this current ME!-Generation are going to be like. Is it possible that a return to more realistic values could be coming? Or is this Veruca Salt Experiment just going to continue unchecked? I shudder to think of the possibilities …

Comment on Do These Pants Make My Butt Too Big to Graduate? by Stefan

Once upon a time, just over 200 years or so ago, there was value placed upon personal freedom. An entire war was fought over it (not well … but the end result was some wonderful thoughts linked to some very special documents). Some of you might even remember how the yoke of kingly rule was cast aside for the experiment of freedom.

All that strife and struggle seems to have been forgotten the wake of a very entitled and spoiled future generation, where so long as “it isn’t happening to me” it’s okay to disregard the personal freedom of others. When the Scotts company fired employees who refused or simply couldn’t quit smoking, no non-smoker stood by their side. Many of those who chided these individuals still had half a McDonald’s Quarter Pounder stuck to the side of their face at the time. Now the “fat” people are under fire and looking for someone to stand by them. Who’s going to do it? Certainly not the grumpy ex-smoker or still smoking but unemployed person who you pointed your chubby finger at and said, “Good! It’s a disgusting habit anyway!” And you won’t get much benefit out of seeking help from the skinny folk, because to them your eating lifestyle is pretty much a disgusting habit. And on rolls our “it’s not happening to me” mentality.

Don’t kid yourself America … those of you who haven’t been singled out yet WILL be. Your choice of porn or soft drinks, the way you raise your children, the color of the car you drive … it’s all coming (and infinitely more dare I say). And as each class tattles and points and mocks the targeted class before them, you’ll lose YOUR freedoms too.

It’s not US against THEM! It’s US learning to live and care for the freedoms of US! And while they’ve got us squabbling among ourselves, assholes like the ones who created this mandate too much BMI or no education slipstream changes that are extraordinarily unconstitutional and downright reprehensible. And since these insidious human beings are too self righteous to feel the shame they have fully earned, I’ll feel it for them. I’ll walk up to the ghost of Thomas Jefferson or Benjamin Franklin or George Washington (who toiled heart and soul to ensure America’s liberty) and I’ll beg forgiveness for what we have done to their once beautiful vision!

Forgive us gentlemen … for we know not what we do!
