    CalSTRS 80/17

    So I've heard about this and I'm on the fence.  Am I a fool to think that this kind of loan is "brain washing" me into thinking I can afford something for now, but down the road my monthly mortgage will increase and then I might put myself up the creek without a paddle...

    Santa Cruz (Woodbury East) Experience w/ pics!

We saw all of the Woodbury East Open houses and honestly...

    LOST

    ahhh Lost...! The wife and I love that show too. We are natives from Hawaii and Guam and it just takes us back to the days! The only thing that drives me crazy, along with so many other Lost fans, is the down time inbetween seasons. I understand that writing needs to be done and ideas need...

    Mideastern woman in Target parking lot

    I figure you could either do 1 of 2 things... 1. Treat her with some respect and give her some spare change 2. Treat her with some respect and say "Sorry..." Now if she chases you across the parking lot screaming in tongues, then I'd be inclined to take more drastic measures. Other than...

    Who is going...

    Now, now... let's be nice. ;D I appreciate IHO's open mind and positive attitute about the building process and I am equally curious about the finished product. No sense finding negatives in negative situations. Find something positive and be positive. <!-- s8-) -->8-)<!-- s8-) --> Drew

    The $8k tax credit and future reality.

    I never understood the rational of this tax credit. So in layman's terms the gov't gives you 8k if you buy a house? Lets, for math's sake, say you buy a 500k house. 8k is 1.6% of 500k. Uh... that's motivating people to make the biggest financial decision of their lives? <!-- s:o...

    Jamba Juice Announces $1 Oatmeal Wednesdays

    Ive been a fan of their oatmeal for awhile and $1 is a steal. This oatmeal is great. It has the consistency of Coach's Oats, that hearty, whole cut grain. It's not instant quaker at all. Great way to start your day. I recommend Blueberry topping or Brown Sugar. Drew p.s. no I am not...
