Zolksy may have a point. - 12:38 AM
I read and commented on a blog today that I truly loved.
And I loved the Title, Dick. 
I made my comment and moved on ... but there was this guy who was surprised that I agreed so much with this blog.  That maybe the way it was written was a overly simplified version of the truth.
Jon Zolksy, you have a point.
And here's a song.
Everything we write and second guess when it comes to pretty much anything is oversimplifying things.  So you (Jon) ask a pretty astute question, how can it be changed ... and you write that it … (0 comments)

WHAT IS A "CLOSING COST"?? - 07:33 AM
WHAT IS A "CLOSING COST"?
Inspired by George Souto's excellent article wherein George refers to the ubiquitous ads by mortgage companies touting "No Closing Costs".
George's article took me back to the days when I learned the difference between a "closing cost" and all the other numerous items/charges on a HUD-1.  Loan officers often made presentations to our "Tuesday morning meetings".  Remember them??  I asked about an item on a closing sheet and she, the loan officer, said,
"That's not a 'closing cost'." 
WHAT??? 
Well, I thought I'd better get busy and learn the lingo.  So, even though it's on the Settlement … (121 comments)

Why Should I Just Replace the Microwave? - 01:02 AM
Well, of course... you could fix it.  But, some problems are a bit more notable than others, and some microwaves aren't worth the cost of fixing them.  Example A: the microwave to the left was... running when the door was open (among other things).  No... the microwave shouldn't run with the door open.  Comparable microwaves run about $179.00 (which is about the same cost, or less, of having one fixed).

Is Your Blog Wandering In the Desert Or Do You Have a Map? - 03:30 PM
Is Your Blog Wandering In the Desert Or Do You Have a Map? We'll be the first to admit that we didn't have any direction when we first started blogging in 2010.  Whatever topic that popped into our heads would make it to our blog!  When you're searching for your blogging identity, your voice, ANY topic seems like a good idea. The end result was that we probably wrote WAY too many Members Only posts.  And not that there's inherently anything wrong with a Members Only post.  It's good to build your relationship with other Active Rain members.  You learn from … (30 comments)
