But I Don't Have A Second Mortagage! (yes you do) - 04/17/11 01:29 AM
When you borrow money using the equity in your home, to buy something, make repairs or consolidate bills, it is a loan.

Will Military Play Shortage Affect Mortgages Late Fees? - 04/16/11 08:31 PM
The fol­low­ing is the lat­est update from DFAS on the April 15 pay­check "shortage".

Subject: TEXTING FOR SENIORS (*WMPL) - 04/14/11 12:57 PM
This was too funny not to pass on.  I mistakenly opened this while I was eating lunch.  Darn near choked!
Since more and more Seniors are texting and tweeting there appears to be a need for a STC (Senior Texting Code). If you qualify for Senior Discounts this is the code for you.
Please pass this on to your CHILDREN and Grandchildren so they can understand your texts.
