So true. It is so much nicer when you can let go of all that. The best thing about being an adult is that you are done with high school! If you still have that mentality, what's the point of growing up and getting old? It would be for nothing - don't waste it - life is too short! |
I confess that half the time I tell my wife she looks good in what she's wearing even though I really don't. If I tell the truth she'll just got mad, so why ask me for the truth? I often don't think she has good taste. |

Wow! How did you know that I am prone to yeast infections? That's why I don't take the experience any...further. |
Leave it where it is-you've obviously been trained properly-this is no time to start biting the hand that feeds you. Remember, when momma is happy, everyone is happy. As far as her taste goes, she married you, didn't she? Again, never trouble trouble til trouble troubles you. Sleep easy tonight in your understanding of the old addage "God has no wrath as that of a woman scorned". I'm totally sure I misquoted that but you know what I mean. |
Please don't hang a shingle just yet. |
Life really sucks for me too - husband lost job in Feb and still has not found anything. We only have my salary and that is not enough to pay mortgage. Foreclosure looming and I am scared. Also have 3 kids under 4 to take care of. |
I confess that I was popular when it really mattered -- growing up -- and that that experience makes me feel better than any adult who feels the pathetic need to act better than me as an adult!! I already gotcha so too bad!! |
Don't know if this will be of help but: "Fannie Mae (FNM/NYSE) today announced the establishment of a new National Real Estate Owned (REO) Rental Policy that will allow qualified renters in Fannie Mae-owned foreclosed properties to stay in their homes. The company currently has an eviction suspension in place through the end of January which will allow for the new policy to be fully operationalized prior to the suspension concluding. "Renters in foreclosed properties have often been a casualty of the foreclosure crisis the country is facing," said Michael Williams, chief operating officer of Fannie Mae. "This policy will allow qualified renters to remain in Fannie Mae-owned properties should they choose to do so, mitigate the disruption of personal lives that foreclosures can cause, and help bring a measure of stability to communities impacted by high foreclosure rates." The new policy applies to renters occupying foreclosed properties at the time Fannie Mae acquires the property. Renters occupying any type of single-family property will be eligible including residents of two- to four-unit properties, condos, co-ops, single-family detached homes and manufactured housing. Eligible renters will be offered a new month-to-month lease with Fannie Mae or financial assistance for their transition to new housing should they choose to vacate the property. The properties must meet state laws and local code requirements for a rental property. While the company markets the properties for sale, Fannie Mae will manage the properties through a real estate broker or a property management company. The company will not require security deposits to be posted in connection with this program. Renters in the foreclosed properties will be asked to pay market rate rent under the new leases. Rates may be determined by reviewing local comparable rents, conducting a neighborhood survey, or through other relevant indicators. Rates will also be subject to any legal rent control restrictions. The company will review each instance where the market rate may require a tenant to pay additional rent and will work to reach an equitable resolution." http://www.fanniemae.com/newsreleases/2009/4581.jhtml |
PP. thanks for the info but we are not renters in our current home so I don't think this applies to us. |
Oops, wrong news release. See this instead: "Fannie Mae offers borrowers option to foreclosure Can't pay the mortgage? You still might be able to stay in your home. Government-controlled mortgage company Fannie Mae is going to give borrowers on the verge of foreclosure the option of renting their homes for a year. The change announced Thursday could give a temporary break to thousands of homeowners, but critics question whether it will only add to the mushrooming losses at the company, which has received billions in taxpayer money. The new "Deed for Lease" program will allow homeowners to transfer title to Fannie Mae and sign a one-year lease, with potential month-to-month extensions after that. It also helps save money because the lender does not need to complete the often lengthy and time-consuming foreclosure process. The program helps "eliminate some of the uncertainty of foreclosure, keeps families and tenants in their homes during a transitional period, and helps to stabilize neighborhoods and communities," Jay Ryan, a Fannie Mae vice president, said in a statement. It also does less harm to the borrower's credit record. . . . Fannie Mae executives said the rental program is designed to help delinquent homeowners who don't qualify for a loan modification, but still want to stay in their homes. To qualify, homeowners have to live in the home as the primary residence and prove that they can afford the market rent, which will be established by the management company running the program. Rents are based on current market rates. The plan is expected to be particularly attractive in places like Phoenix or Orange County, Calif., where homeowners are stuck paying large mortgage bills on properties that are now worth far less than they originally paid. At the same time, rents have been falling in those areas. So by renting the same house, former homeowners could wind up paying far less every month. . . . Deed-in-lieu works like the new program, allowing homeowners to turn over title to Fannie Mae, but rather than renting, the owners simply walk away. While Fannie Mae executives say the company's motives are community-minded, critics say the company is simply gambling that the properties will eventually sell for a higher price. That's folly, says Peter Schiff, president of Euro Pacific Capital in Darien, Conn., and a longtime bearish investor. . . . But other experts say that Fannie Mae's new policy could make sense, even if prices don't rebound quickly. The company will get rental income while avoiding costly foreclosure expenses. It will also help to safeguard the homes, which are less likely to be vandalized when occupied. "There are a whole lot of costs you avoid," said Thomas Lawler, a former Fannie Mae economist. "You don't necessarily have to believe that home prices a year from now will be higher than today." Fannie Mae's sibling company, Freddie Mac, launched a similar effort in March. That policy, however, requires the foreclosure to be completed and only allows month-to-month leases. Freddie Mac declined to detail how many borrowers have participated." http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091105/ap_on_bi_ge/us_foreclosures_rentals |
I suspect that my DH isn't the father of my child. |

AGREED! Most women in D.C. are so obviously hung up on never having been popular. How old are you, people? Time to get over it. |
