Smoothy, after I wipe your drool off I will have one for you.
Question of the day.
Am I the only one who had to wear bread bags on there feet to keep them dry?
Ah the memories.
All right, things aren't going to well in my life right now, and I can't get the help I am needing from this site like I was hoping, so I am just going to leave the site. It has became a place I can't be around anymore. To those who are actually a good friend to me, you know how to get ahold of me. I am not finding an outing from my problems so maybe I will just take the easy way out and be done with it all.
Hold on Mr. what's going on?
Pull up a chair and sit on my lap. Here is a warm cookie, now talk.
What's up, Adam? You've always offered great responses and are one of our valued members. Anything I can do to help?
Not allowed Adam, nope.
Everything can be worked out bud.
I'll see tomorrow.
I have to run now. Dinner duty calls. You will be here tomorrow. We will all talk it out here. It's a date.
You better... :)Quote:

Aww... hang on Adam :(
Hey I have seen many men with a head of gray hair and they were pretty hot. Just saying. Be happy you didn't lose it all during the night.Quote:

Well, I opened a thread trying to get help and I am getting some help on it, I will post a link.
Oh adam everything will be fine. You can make this work. Look at it this way. Paying this or paying higher rend for a crappier place.
I strongly suggest you negotiate with everyone. It's amazing how cooperative and helpful providers, vendors, etc. when they realize you aren't a deadbeat. Have you checked out State Farm yet regarding the home insurance? They will offer you a special deal if you use their company for both auto and home.
I agree WG, I use State Farm for home, car and other insurance and they (like some others) discount the overall pricing.Quote:

Negotiating is so true adam. These days companies will go above and beyond to keep a client. I have seen it over and over when I worked at my bank. You will be fine. Your first step is to start talking. When we were doing our mortgage for our new home I remember our topic of escrow coming up. I know how that can stink sometimes. So I asked what happened if I changed my mind. You not tied to that it can be changed. Talk with your bank.
This may be positive thinking or not. But I guess with me its black or white. Either way you have to pay it right? Escrow or not. Either way you have to budget that in. You find a way and make it work. Don't lose your home. Don't give it up just yet. This is so minor. You will work it out and be fine.
Thanks to everyone. You are making me feel better.
So far out of the insurance companies I look at they are cheaper on the home but more expensive on the auto part. I like my auto where it is, I think my best bet is to switch home insurance, I just don't know how it will put me behind even more than I am. I have never missed a mortgage payment or any payment that I have ever had and it worries me that something is going to go wrong.
You do your auto and home on the same insurance? Why not think about breaking them up? I get better rates this way. I am not a good driver. I am on my 4th license. I have a DWI and hate saying it. But there are still companies out there giving me great rates. I had been given good advice not to keep my home owners and auto on the same insurance. Check in to that.
This site sucks! Why do I always say things that embarrass me or make me feel like I should hide under a rock? Grr.r... I guess maybe if I can say my mistakes and someone learns then its good right.
That is very good Sunny, it takes a lot to say what you said and it does tell a story to help me. It should make you feel better.
My insurances are separate as of now.
Smart people learn from their own mistakes... as well as those that others make.Quote:

Sunny, I like you even better than I did before!
Sunny, if you don't make mistakes you aren't anything. Learning makes us move forward.
I could write a book on mistakes as I am sure we all can. Just some things I am not so proud of. But if it helps others I spill it in shame in hopes to grow.
Now apple pie all around.
Questions how much you liked me before. ;)Quote:

Now, I was watching my weather last night and the talk of the town was Chicago. Poor Stringer. They showed Lake Shore Drive and all the abandoned cars. Yikes we didn't get it that bad. I kept thinking of him.
Do you need a hug too? :rolleyes:Quote:

We so want spring, but then there will be the melting and flooding...
So nice that you are thinking of me Sunny for whatever reason. :)Quote:

I saw that... what moron abandoned his truck with the widows open? The one with the entire inside full of snow I saw in the paper.Quote:

I saw a photo of one with the driver door open. The wind was so bad, and the snow was blowing everywhere, every which way, with visibility down to nothing. All anyone who was outdoors Tuesday night cared about was getting to shelter. I'm guessing there is a good explanation for how the truck was left. I can think of several.Quote:

I heard that it was a city bus and you know they only hire the best.
I couldn't tell what it was there was so much snow inside it... looked like a pickup... could have been a bus however.
Hell, I don't even leave my windows down in summer on a sunny day and I live in a safe reasonibly crime free neighborhood.
