Well I dunno. There was lots of people I think who didn't vote for McCain because they didn't know if he would live another 4-8 years. And with the media the way it is, they would have a field day on his heart problems.

Could your questions get any harder today? ;-) 1. What is your greatest fear? Being alone. I like it sometimes, but 99% of the time I'd MUCH rather be with people. 2. What is the most evil thing anyone could ever do? I don't think that taking someone else's life is the most evil thing that anyone could do. I think it's the planning and the hatred that goes into killing someone else is even more evil. 3.

Congratulations. :) Being married is wonderful. I love my husband. He takes such good care of me. I only hope I take care of him the same way. Enjoy your day.

lol. Right on. :) My paternal grandparents had eight kids, and my maternal grandparents had five. I love big families, and while we'll probably never have one of our own, I totally believe you that it's all about management. My family never made me do ANY chores, hence my shitty-ass house. It's all my mom's fault. lol :)

[quote]You are not progressive, Ziggy. You're not very bright, either, because (as usual) you missed the entire point.[/quote] I just find it interesting when you have jobs...and then don't. When you dont have a job, you say that it is a more traditional arrangement and that others are more progressive if they have to work. Your definition changes when your situation changes. Always seems to change to best fit whatever situation you find yourself in. [qu

I was reading some news sites this morning and came across a bit on TMZ where Don LaFontaine has passed away from lung disease. Being a broadcaster myself and one day hoping to piddle in that realm again...I've been thinking about voice acting...although thats as far as I've gotten, just thinking. But Dons voice is what I believe many voice actors think of when they work. He has been doing his gig for over 25 years, has done over 5000 trailers and 350,000 commercials (yea

I dont think there is one perfect plan out there for budgeting...just finding what works and what doesnt work. The way I do it, just planning on how to spend every dollar and penny we have is working really well so far for us.

Yeah, before we have people pointing out the obvious...Im not one to be giving money advice or even budgeting advice. But advice when you think about it, is a tool. Most often, advice is a tool that is gained from previous situations. I like to say that I fail, but I succeed at finding out what doesnt work. Advice given is something that others found to be helpful and offered as a tool so that others may be helped. And stuff. Anywho...Calculators.&n

[quote]I don't know why a short sale would affect your credit rating.[/quote] A short sale is a SALE of the house SHORT of what is owed. If I owe x amoutn and sell it for less, and the mortgage company agrees to that, its basically a settlement. I still owe the difference. It is reported to the credit beaurus (sp).
