Certainly you're correct on both counts, but the seller can stipulate that their acceptance of the offer is contingent on the shortfall being forgiven. However, by entering a short sale position the owners are tacitly prepared to take less than what they owe on their house. Depending on the...

If you're buying an existing house with carpet and want to check what's underneath (wood floors, terrazzo, etc) you will often find a corner unfastened in a closet, and you can raise the carpet and pad and check things out. Cast-iron tubs and ceramic tile can be cleaned and refinished rather...

Buy Buy Buy Rates are still very low, and now is a great time to get into the market. Don't be frightened of short sale and bank-owned properties, and don't be afraid to offer significantly less than asking price on places like those. Your agent should be able to tell you when there is a short...

No way...then all the alums from the past 10 years will do nothing but bitch about how they got screwed with their commencement speaker. Colbert would be awesome though. Wake is right in his wheelhouse demographically.

Second (or third) Tijuana Flats. Chick Fil A, Seasons 52, and Jason's Deli are good also.

This was me as well. Best in the world at guitar = Eric Clapton or something...by far the best choice on the list. There are tons of scratch and near-scratch golfers (to chose the best analogy of the remaining choices) that are nowhere near professional. Now, world-class chef (as opposed to...

Truer things were never encapsulated in pixels. WTF...if you're going to need a file later, file it you can find it. If you're not going to use it again, just delete it.

It looks like there will be episodes that advance the overall plot pretty explicitly (like the premiere) and some that are more roundabout. The creative team will have to make the difficult choices to balance those two types of episodes. I'll reserve judgment on the balance until I see more than...

The biggest change that I've experienced (I'm 29) is that you stop being the youngest in a given group. At work, hobbies, your golf group, whatever. As soon as the group adds a new member straight out of college and they're 8-10 years younger than you, you go from feeling pretty good to feeling...

I cannot stop seeing her as Polly Zobelle from Sons of Anarchy. I'm not sure what I expect...maybe racist jokes?

Every female with whom I have interviewed (either as the interviewer or the interviewee) has been clothed and has had hair on her head.

Weirdly enough, he knew where the locker was with the gun and clothes in it, and wasn't totally surprised by the ticket, money, and key in his jacket pocket. He also wasn't wearing a prison jumpsuit or anything suspicious. A few plot holes, but nothing that can't be overcome.

Helton, you've been working for the government for too long. /sarcastic Mitt Romney Impersonation/ Those of us who are job creators in the private sector don't have time for the boards during the workday. /sarcastic Mitt Romney Impersonation/ I'm home now because I was attending a conference...

Also, keep a current copy of rkill.exe on that same flashdrive. There are a number of useful sites that have step-by-step instructions to remove those fake antivirus programs. Bleepingcomputer.com is the only one that I remember offhand. Just Google "Remove <name of antivirus program>" I've...

This sums up my work experience since college. I think it sums up my Dad's entire 35 year career. My wife pingpongs between the two extremes. Two jobs ago she was all-consumed with work, worked all kinds of extra hours for no extra pay, etc. We went to a mixer for young married couples at...
