    land contracts

    Has anyone done one of these? Or do you know of anyone who has? We've been offered the option of a land contract for a property we might rent. I have read quite a bit about this on the internet and the idea interests me. If we put down $6000, we would pay $550 a month on a twenty year...

    Casino Royale

    This movie is awesome! DH and I just saw it. It's totally unlike any other Bond movie. I highly recommend it!!! It's full of action and even has a plot. It doesn't really have any of the corny gadgets that filled the previous Bond movies. Q doesn't even make an appearance. The fact that...

    A warning about those fire stickers for your pets

    My husband just told me that our city fire department stopped supporting those stickers you place on windows for children and pets because perverts and robbers are using them in our city. It's sort of a "this way please!" for people with bad intensions. I just wanted to warn others that this...

    So, does anyone have any advice? We've never bought a house, we're in our 20's. We noticed that a 15 year mortage on a house in this area is about 40$ less a month than we pay in rent. We're going to look at a house today, but otherwise we haven't done any preparation. Are you supposed to...
