Do you ever pull weeds while holding an open house? - 05:28 PM
Would it offend you if I held your house open and did some cleaning up? I have been known to pull weeds in Wallingford, sweep porches in Green Lake and trim rose bushes on Mercer Island. I am not doing it to make points with a seller, I am doing it because it will improve the looks of the home and I get very antsy when it is a nice day and I cannot be home taking care of my own yard! And yes, it is strictly complementary!
What does it hurt..and it is very rewarding to see the plants … (3 comments)

I feel like I have been doing pretty good. I still have a scale issue.
I had a great suggestion from someone though - I should go by Kaiser (the big HMO and my carrier) and just drop into the health and nutrition office and weigh my self when I am in the area.
I will do this. The medical scale will give me a very good read, but it is hard to shed anything "extra" when you weigh in there.
For my low carb eats I have been buying bacon ends and pieces, cutting them up small and frying them … (11 comments)

HAFA short sales with Bank of America are failing - GRADE = F - 03:48 PM
We all celebrated the new HAFA short sale months ago when it was introduced, as with many programs, it sounded good at the time. Of course I'd say we all had reservations knowing how anything the government had their hands in was going to be doomed...
The reality is that I remained optimistic as long as I could, but now, I give this program a big fat "F," for FAIL.
Bank of America has especially fallen fall short of anything even resembilng acceptable with their HAFA program implementation and for the most part has outsourced all their HAFA deals. I have … (2 comments)
