Comment on Instructions For Your St. Joseph Statue and Selling Your Home by Kara

Kara — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 19:43:07 +0000

My mom told me to put the statue in the ground, just seems wrong to me but I did it.

I agree with the gent who said, “The agnostic part of me finds this to be superstitious hocus pocus. The Christian part of me finds this to be idolatry that has been forbidden since the Old Testament. Either way, sounds kind of stupid.”

Anyway, been buried in my yard for over a year. Still haven’t sold my house. She tells me to look up the prayer and say it. I read this bit:

Saint Joseph, I am going to place you
in a difficult position
with your head in darkness
and you will suffer as our Lord suffered,
until this [house/property] is sold.

And I have to say, WTF? For real? St Joseph should be one pissed off saint. “O HAI, Imma torture a statue of you until you do as I say!”

What about RE/MAX Commercial? Where this classification came from?
I am pretty sure RE/MAX Commercial in volume sales must be above The Staubach Company!

Well Tom, once again you have said it much better than I could have. Unfortunately the folks at Move, Inc. probably do not read blogs, and if they do hear about a post about them, they get all defensive and point fingers or snap at the very hands that feed them. Someone needs to introduce them to Web 2.0.

Comment on Chysler and GM Dealer Cuts Will Hurt Commercial Real Estate by Antony Lexington@Home loan

It certainly does not bode well for a fast recovery in the economic climate. This will affect all real estate across the board pushing home prices further down and probably rent prices higher. Now matter what happens it seems to make rent prices higher. The home loan industry may have to look into creative ways to encourage the right people to borrow money.

Comment on Top 10 Most Dangerous Cities in America For 2008 by SpazzyCat

A lot of you really need to go back to kindergarten and learn to spell correctly. If you cannot spell ‘for’ then you are in very poor shape. Talking about how “Bad” your city is makes you look like an ignorant fool.

Anyway. I’m very surprised St. Louis is on here instead of East St. Louis. I have always been warned to stay out of East St. Louis.

Bad things happen ALL the time EVERYWHERE. It makes no difference the color of your skin or where you are from. The only thing that makes a difference is how you react to things.

Comment on Actual Refundable First Time Home Buyer Tax Credit In Stimulus Package by Mary

Mary — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 18:07:54 +0000

In 2008, there was an extension to push first-time home buyers to purchase their homes quickly since the program did not get off the ground. The first cut off date, I believe was Jul7 08 then was extended to December 2008. The government made it clear this was temporary program that why I felt this was a great opportunity. As single mom of two, I definitely would not miss out on the chance of home ownership due to the exorbitantly high rents but I would have taken more time in purchasing a house with more features or sq. ft for the same amount of money. We should start a google community to address our concerns.

Comment on Overzealous Tenant Sues Over Smoking Neighbor by Cheryl Gungor

Cheryl Gungor — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 16:54:04 +0000

I also need HELP and don’t know what to do about my problem. I have a garden apartment off Park Avenue and someone in my building or the townhouse next door throws lighted cigarettes out of their window onto my brand new $2000 15 x 9 foot awning!! Every morning I go out to check how many new cigarette burn holes there are and it is driving me crazy. This is my home for 32 years now and I saved a long time to install a new awning. How can people be so rude? not to mention they know there is a fire hazard and they are destroying personal property. My landlord has sent Notices, my super has talked to some neighbors and I have placed notes under doors appealing for some consideration. Is there a law? Does anyone know how to stop this? I’m trying to find out who it could be but cannot stay outside all night on surveillance. HELP, all ideas and suggestions welcome.
