Oops, obviously I meant inTERstate HELOCS, not inTRAstate.

I know someone here will know this. I live in California and own a house in Maryland that I rent out. It needs a few repairs. Nothing major. Certainly less than $5000. The house is paid for. No mortgage, no liens. Is it possible to get a HELOC at a California bank for a house in...

Trooper, Someone told me recently that people in Corona with pools can't use them in the summer because of the flies. Is that true? I'm asking because I really, really want a pool of my own (I don't want to share one with all those 20 and 30-somethings with their beautiful bods!), and I'm...

I bought a nice sofa on Craigslist and the couple delivered it for free. You might also try for some surplus hotel furniture athttp://www.hotelsurplus.com/. Also search for hotel furniture las vegas and you'll find a place that sells stuff from the luxury casino resorts when they refurnish.

Thanks MMM, Trooper, CMDude. Ankle surgery has been laid up for three weeks or I'd give that gun fair a try. And thanks for the info about Traveling, and the other links. I have no ammo so that shouldn't be difficult. I have plenty of time to read up now so I'll do some research on the gun...

Only one button on a Mac mouse? I have an Apple bluetooth Mighty Mouse that I would trade for the world and it has, well, theoretically, two buttons. It doesn't actually have any buttons but depending on which side of it I press, I get a left button/right button response. The one thing I love...

I always like the way you think, Liz. I wish more of the lawyers where I practiced were like you. If they had been, I might have stuck it out instead of escaping into the more mundane world of academia.

Finance is not my thing, and this just doesn't make sense to me. Can someone explain? I would still be driving my 13 year old Acura if it hadn't been stolen when I was living in Texas. So now I have a car loan with an $11k balance at a Texas credit union, at 6.50%. I live in California...

I made the switch a little over a year ago. You'll be frustrated at first but gradually you'll get adjusted and when you have to use a PC at work (as I do) you'll find yourself being frustrated by having to do things the "wrong" (i.e., non-Mac) way. You may also find that you can't...

Does anyone have an opinion as to Everbank? Is it reliable? Stable? Terry

Thanks biscuitninja and xsocal, It's an automatic. I'll see what else I can find out about it. I know the gun guy in Texas was impressed after he did the research. Terry

Thanks, fumbling!

I inherited an antique handgun. A gun guy I knew in Texas told me it dates to about 1912. It's a Colt. It has to use low-load ammo. I'm not a gun person and that's about the extent of my knowledge. I'd like to sell it. I have no idea how. I'm half afraid to take it out of the house...

Is there some where in redfin to narrow your search to houses with pools only? It's annoying to try to narrow down hundreds of over-priced homes by reading the descriptions and looking at the overhead pictures just to find the ones with pools. Thanks, Terry
