i did promise her a trip. then she saw the house, and canceled both our winter ski trip and our spring getaway!!!

hey - i thought you relocated to paris!

now we're working with a bank and a credit union separately to get the lowest rate. i'm asking for the following: 1) 30yr fixed conforming for 417,000, plus 2) 7yr IO or 5yr IO for 200,000 (if you're wondering why an IO for the 2nd, it's because of its lower rate and we think we can pay...

a bear?!? I ALWAYS THOUGHT IT WAS A MOUSE WEARING GLASSES!?! now it all makes sense!!

<strong>lendingmaestro</strong> - you're right, wonder why i didn't think of that before! like you said, might as well depend on myself to make extra principal paydown.

<strong>rtlguru</strong> - i can't find the link that shows you how to become a member. it looks like a bulletin board that takes you to lenders like countrywide, wells fargo, etc. do members get preferential treatment? thanks

A futures floor trader friend of mine once had to teach a class, and I sat in on it. He mentioned 5 things (2 of which I forgot): #1 - never bet the farm. as long as you're in the game, you can come back. #2 - accept losses as an integral part of trading. #3 - stay disciplined to...

<strong>lendingmaestro</strong> - i'm with you and the other bears on this forum, that right now is not the right time to buy economic-wise. there are reasons for us: my wife like our little neighborhood a lot. we also place a premium on the convenience of walking our kids to school and not...

<strong>Graph</strong> - Thanks for your thoughts. You pointed out that "It is easier to get a purchase loan, and the rates are lower." What's the usual spread between a purchase loan and a re-fi? By the way, "... but I don't know if the secondary mortgage market will come back down for...

We are getting close to buying a home. I have some financing scenarios in mind, and would like to throw my favorite out there for comments, especially from those in the mortgage industry and all of you who have interacted with me in the past. We have excellent credit scores, 30% in down...

Bubblegum, Thanks for that explanation. Now I remember the whole tuner requirement. The big HD tv we have downstairs has a built-in tuner, but we cheaped out with the little one upstairs and this is the one I wanna use with the antenna. Damned, damned... And yes I bought the...

My journey to stick it to Cox continues... I was psyched over the indoor HD antenna. We have 2 tv's but only one cable box, so the upstairs tv is mostly used for watching dvd's. We have a gadget from RF-Link that beams the picture from downstairs to upstairs. The picture isn't bad, but...

I called Cox again, and went straight to the department that handles "service termination" (I chose the option called "Press X if you are terminating some service, but will continue to reside in the Cox coverage area"). After 2 minutes of talking, the person on the line started looking for...

Sure thing Bro, "you can call me Al", just like the Paul Simon song...I don't think your idea with the shovel works for me. I'm not mechanically and electrically inclined! Seriously though...what are my options? I can ditch my telephone but that'll only save $20 and involves a...
