Jeff chooses a well timed subject as June 1st is indeed the start of another long hurricane season. Jeff's in Virginia, not a place I normally think of for hurricane problems, but it IS coastal and so is vulnerable. I lived for years in Houston. As well all now know, the Gulf is a good place NOT ...

Steve illustrates a real problem here in his recent post. He thinks that sellers "are out to get him" with some of the situations he encounters. He's not the only one who is put in peril. Have you ever found a keysafe box put in an unusual or inaccessible location? We actually have written rules ...

Nestor & Katerina Gasset deserve a re blog for this post. I frequently see posts essentially touting the blogger’s expertise in the short sale field of endeavor. Maybe I should just call it a minefield, and if that’s the case, this blog points out a serious impediment to a successful closing on ...

Good. Now that this post is off the first page I'm doing a re-blog. It's full of good valid points for a distressed owner to do a short sale, instead of the various undesirable alternatives, like foreclosure or default. The comment I made on this blog earlier still goes, though. Now if the crooks...

FIRST TIME THIS YEAR AT 100 DEGREES!  For the next few months now we are going to pay for the eight to nine months of absolutely wonderful weather we experience in Tucson. Dry and sunny, and no weird weather like the folks in the, well, pretty much everywhere else gets. You know…snow, sleet, rai...

Are CFL’s Completely Safe?  Hmmn? I see posts and various articles extolling all the virtues of CFL filled light bulbs. Good for the environment, saves energy, saves money, etc. I believe all these are good reasons to switch to these types of bulbs. I know I have in my house. However, if these p...

Great topic for re-blog purposes. Now that the post from Michelle is off the first page of blogs for today, I'm putting it up once again. People should be aware this stuff goes on EVERYWHERE, ALL THE TIME. What really cracks me up, though, is the mention of NIGERIA as part of the scam pitch. Isn'...

This surely deserves a re-blog, as the more attention, the more exposure these sorts of things get, the better. I know I read about it too, and am not sure where. Maybe it WAS Lenn's blog. But why should ANY OF US be surprised by what ANY bank is doing. Still run at the top by the same crooks th...

Wow, what great photos. If I had the money I'd sure live in THIS log cabin. Mike can't remember where he saw this place. Maybe a reblog will expose Mike's blog to more viewers. Let him know if the place looks familiar. Hey Mike, I'll bet this is NOT on Mt. Lemmon. Unless it was built after the fi...
