Yeah, didn't you read the post about Mormon girls in bed?

Can I have one?

They need a lot to get a little ass though.

Autie Tricky.

Exactly. I've blathered on in other threads about having taken out an ARM for a rental property that I'd originally planned to sell before the low rate on it went up. I decided to keep the place so I refi'd with a traditional loan. And I am no econ genius, but I can do some basic math. The fact that so many people just decided to let crazy loans get out of hand is beyond me. Do people not budget? Is that just too uncool? Do these folks not rebalance their investment portfolios? Check on their 401Ks? Isn't that a regular part of middle class existance? Not very sexy, but just part of the deal.

What?

I love the aging process. It is the little daily humiliations that I look forward to.

The little people.

Right.

And also, I have no plans of doing anything productive today at work.

A friend I work with had his window down a crack b/c he was smoking in his car on his way to work. An 18 wheeler drove past him and douched the whole inside of his car. Bwaahhahahaa!

HOW DRY I AM: Calls for more stringent drunk-driving laws in Ireland havebrought resistance -- from Roman Catholic priests. The current .08percent limit is fine, but tightening it any more than that isn't, thepriests say, because they often have to celebrate mass more than once aday, which includes communion. "You could be over the limit trying totravel between maybe two or three churches on a Sunday morning andcoming back again," complained Fr. Brian D'Arcy, rector of thePassionist Monastery in Enniskillen. (Reuters) ...I always thought itwas a "sip", not a whole bottle.

I don't think a Tom would represent me well.

Everyone is welcome. It rains a lot there though, and the river is flooding right now. But come on over. The newbie always gets to chop the wood.

I think Tvash hit it on the head about the motivation.

Too true. But I don't think Woof was trying to be dismissive though. Often people use something lighthearted to end a difficult point of view that they just stated. It is obvious the Woof thought this through, and this is a tough topic for anyone to deal with. I'd just let that last comment slide... But, you are right that discussion is good.

Agreed. I have no interest in helping these people, just as I don't expect someone to come help me when I overspend (which I actually don't do; but it could happen some day). Just the acceptance of this makes me nervous. Its not like these folks are going to be homeless, they just have to move to an apt or in with family. There is so much more fuss over these folks than over the people in our country who honestly do not have a home to go to that it makes me want to puke.

oh so smart. The engineering lab there fuckin rocks, I'll tell you that much.

-The availability of credit, and the rates charged for the provision of such to increase massively for everyone in the future, since they'll have to price this kind of uncertainty into the rates they charge those who want to borrow money to buy a home. When you say massively, what numbers/percentages are you thinking?

I feel like Americans act like they should be able to buy whatever they want and damn the consequences. Then having the gov't bail them out tells them that this is okay. Our job market is healthy. Therefore, when foreclosures start to happen, people who are ready will step in and buy those homes. Things will right themselves after a while. But artifically messing with the market in a manner like this just causes more problems later. I am not saying that intervention isn't appropriate at some times and at some levels; but not right now. The sky is not falling.

No, I don't think it is the same. The stock market has a certain % it has to drop before the system automatically triggers a shutdown. There is no panic here, and there shouldn't be. If anyone is responsible for panic, it is the fucking media. This market adjustment (and possible recession) is a normal part of the business cycle. But if people don't suffer a bit, they don't learn.

totally agree with you

I sure wish their dicks got bigger. What kind of beer does that?

doe meat tastes better as well.

You are right. The freak in the black tee shirt. XXXL tee shirt.
