If any of you fellow cat-lovers are worried about what to do with your cats when you pass away, there is a place near and dear to my heart: <a href="http://www.dovecanyon.org/bluebell/">The Blue Bell Foundation</a> I can personally vouch for this organization. If you have questions...

I know there are a few fellow cat-lovers on the forum. I recently found this site and was totally amazed! After reading the post on the IHB a few days ago about the wretched homeowners who leaver their pets behind when they are foreclosed on, this has restored my faith in humanity. Watch the...

Thanks to all for the compliments. I am very proud of my collection! The ones I pictured are only the tip of the iceberg. I feel like I am saving these watches from certain death when I buy and restore them. Some of the watches I bought in the excellent condition they were in, some were in...

Here are some of my favorite antique watches from my collection. Sorry if I went overboard, but it isn't everyday that I find someone who is interested. Enjoy! <a href="http://www.dovecanyon.org/watch/">Some of my favs</a>

Actually, I collect antique watches (the wind-up kind) primarily from the early 1900's-1950's. I like the Art Deco era the best. These antique watches are absolutely beautiful and most are one-of-a kind (due to their age). They do require periodic maintenance, but I find that they are so...

Yes, it was very interesting to see them analyze the "start" of the decline back to the days following 9-11. Well worth watching.

As someone who frequently rescues animals from the streets, this really bothers me. At least if they leave the poor animal in the yard, the neighbors will quickly figure things out and either call animal control or provide food for the pet. We call ourselves civilized, yet I'm constantly...

I think it's hit and miss. There are some great RE agents out there. We had one who worked very hard to find a buyer for a property that was basically "not saleable" (for a couple different reasons). I don't think she made much money considering the amount of time/effort/advertising dollars...

Good luck with that! I went about two years ago (at the LN courthouse). They actually had a deputy at the door watching for people who were falling asleep in class! They don't let you get away with much these days, although the instructor was quite funny. Just get there early so you can get...

Whenever there is a major holiday and we see our neighbor's parents arrive in their shiny Cadillac, my husband and I smile at each other and whisper "Here comes the money wagon!".

The moral for the "survivors" definitely suffers after a layoff. I was one of 3 people left in our department (of 13!) after a merger/layoff back in the late 1990's. The atmosphere was so depressing that I quit without having a job to go to. Unfortunately, until new personnel is hired, i.e...

The posts the last couple of days have got me thinking. I wonder just how much some of the home improvement shows have to do with the amount of HELOC abuse going on these days? 15 years ago, the only home improvement show that I can remember was "This Old House". Today, there are so many, I...
