God only knows...I wonder the same thing.  When I wonder about things like our current economy I turn to people who know a little more about these things than I do.  Dave Ramsey is one of these people.  Here is an exert from a recent post by Dave Ramsey  Dave's Thoughts About the Economy Over the past month, we've witnessed the largest bankruptcy in history, the stock market dropping like a rock, and the talking heads on TV freaking out that the world is coming to an end. I'm here to tell you the truth-we're going to make it. We're going to be fine. Take a chill pill. This month I've compiled some of the most-asked questions I've gotten recently from you: Are we okay, Dave? Definitely. Remember Enron and WorldCom in the recent years? We survived that. But much worse than all this was th... 09/26/2008

How much does a free Banana tree cost...? My Dad gave me a banana tree last year that he dug it out of his own yard.  If you have ever had a banana tree then you know they reproduce at an alarming rate.  I gladly accepted this free plant.  I have a huge yard and the owners before me did not care much for outdoor living...I however, am the opposite.  Recently when I was over at my Dad's house I noticed that his banana tree was about 12 feet tall (seriously).  My bananas tree or rather my field of banana trees are only about 3 feet tall.  Naturally, the question I asked was "Dad, why is your banana tree so much bigger than mine?"  Well, I found that he waters his every day and he only focuses on that one tree.  I on the other hand do not; I try to keep them all going at once.      Banana ... 09/23/2008

Sneak Preview !  For all those buyers out there in apartment land... something new and really great has come upon the New Homes horizon.  A new kind of townhouse... made just for Texas. One of the drawbacks for many Texans as far as townhouses have been concerned... is that just about everyone who is interested in a townhouse... wants an end unit. Usually, townhomes are built with anywhere from six to eight units in each building... which obviously means that out of an eight dwelling building, only two townhouses can be "end units." Well... that is about to change.  There is a major new neighborhood just about ready to break ground in the wonderful, close-in city of Carrollton, Texas.  It will be an entirely townhouse neighborhood... but with one major exception not normally found in a ... 07/19/2008

Leukemia is a deadly disease, a cancer of the blood and/or bone marrow.  There are various forms of leukemia.  Some are incurable, but most are treatable with modern medicine.  As you can imagine, the hospital bills for the treatment can be horrendous.  Sadly, one of my friend's little brother has recently been diagnosed with leukemia.  To help with the mountains of medial bills that are beginning to pour in, Chick-fil-A has pledged to donate 15% of all sales to the McFadden Medical Fund to help Jason and his family. Chick-fil-A has some of the best fast food around.  It's a favorite of my family, and the menu has wide variety of different tastes for every palate.  If you happen to be in Carrollton, stop by the Chick-fil-A located at 2652 Old Denton Road and order something to eat, drin... 05/22/2008

www.teamPATandDon.com     www.realestateteamPATnDON.com When you are getting ready to put your property on the market, there is a myriad of things to think about, to prepare for, and to organize. Here is a short list of some of the pitfalls to watch out for.  Deadly Mistake Number # 1Incorrectly Pricing Your Home            Every seller wants to net as much money as possible when selling their home.  Unfortunately, a listing price that is too high often gets the seller less than a listing priced at market value.  If your house is not priced competitively, people looking in your price range will reject your house in favor of other larger homes for the same price.              At the same time, the people who should be looking at your house will not see it because it is priced over their ... 02/05/2008
