of collector cars over the holiday? Told my hubby I wanted a Shelby instead of the Jauguar has ordered.......LOL, it's nice to dream. Anyway, there were some very sharp looking wheels there. Especially loved the Shelbys and the Cudas.

Does anybody know anything about buying a house from a tax auction? SM

I live in a small town and in our local paper there are always public listings of properties that are going to be sold on the courthouse steps in an auction because of foreclosures or failure to pay taxes, etc. I'm kind of interested in learning about this process because a cute older home I've had my eye on for a while is going to be sold this way in a couple of weeks and I am in a position to maybe buy it because I FINALLY settled with my insurance company over my house fire. So I have a nice little chunk of money (not a huge amount, but enough to buy a decent home for me and my kids). My ex-husband severely damaged my credit and so this may be the only way I can buy another house, besides I'd rather not use the money as a down payment on a big, huge fancy house I'll probably struggle to make payments on. I'd rather just buy a nice little three bedroom that is comfortable and affordable and allows me a little wiggle room with my finances. I'm living with family now and don't even get me started on how stressful that is!

So I was wondering if any my virtual colleagues and friends here at MTStars had any experience or knowledge of how this whole foreclosure/tax auction process works? Will there be an auctioneer and I will have to bid like at a regular auction? And usually how much do houses go for when sold this way? Do they go for the amount of taxes owed or how much the house is worth? The public notice from the county says the buyer has to put 10% down and pay the remaining balance in 30 days. So I'm trying to get an idea of whether I will have enough to pay cash the day of or if I will still need to get a small mortgage loan.

Any suggestions? I'm really dumb when it comes to stuff like this. I've never really had a head for business, but since leaving my ex, I've vowed to learn and be savvy and take control of my finances. And this would be a big first step towards that.

Thanks!

anyone bought NC headphones off auction
sites and felt they got authentic products, in good working condition? I'd really like good noise cancelling headphones without paying the top dollar. thanks.

I do not care for Jackson either . . .
I thought maybe Mike & Susan were almost going to get back together the way the conversation was going at the hospital with them realizing things were now different with raising their son! nice thought at least.

Whatever happened to M. Jackson
Does anyone know what ever happened to Michael Jackson (I don't mean where is he, I mean what went wrong with him). I know most don't care, but when I was younger I was absolutely in love with him. He made some great hits. Every once in awhile I will pull up his Youtube videos (beat it, billie jean, thriller, etc). He was such a great entertainer and I often wonder what went wrong with him and when. Just am curious.

Michael Jackson ....
I saw the same thing and then heard the reports that he had no pulse and was not breathing once the paramedics got to him. I have been scanning between the big networks, CNN, HLN and Fox and they all say that his situation is "grave." I changed over to a local channel that, ABC, and they are reporting that he has died.

My current cat doesn't watch much TV, but my last one liked to watch hockey. sm
He would sit in front of the TV and swat at the puck now and then. The only time my current 4-year-old cat watches TV is if the TiVo restarts for some reason and that little animated video comes on with the dancing TV and the loud music. He's fascinated by that and will come running to sit and watch it.

Michael Jackson has died (sm)
All the major news shows reporting that he died of cardiac arrest.

I think DNA are in order for Jackson kids
I have seen the kids, all 3 of them and without a doubt do not think those are Michael Jackson's kids. One by a surrogate, well all 3 because apparently Debbie Rowe gave up her claim to kids for money and after they came out from behind the costume masks, there is not 1 thing, not 1 that looks like they are mixed, one kid is a towhead, the others have no facial features, hair nor any skin characteristics that resemble their father. I doubt this would ever be done but frankly have thought from the start Jackson was not the father and furthermore after staying behind the masks, blankets and things the children were behind for so long, thought then about covering up for the fact there was no blackness there.

She's beginning to remind me of Michael Jackson....sm
someone crying out for help but no one getting through to them. Of course Michael would alienate or fire anyone that told him he was crazy. Sad thing for Brittney is that this bizarre behavior will hurt her in her custody attempt for the kids, and if she's that mentally unstable she shouldn't have the kids.

Jackson-Hewitt and all the major firms use

On Jackson, what I said earlier today to husband was
since Farrah Fawcett died today, McMann yesterday I had always heard of hollywood deaths coming in 3s since I was a young child and I told hubby would not be surprised if another person dies soon. Unbelievable, sure did not think about Michael Jackson if this is true.

Michael Jackson -Do you think he faked his death?
I just saw his "last picture" This man was darker skinned -- different nose, completely. Not the person we've been seeing on TV. The medical stuff doesn't add up either -- from what I'm reading/hearing with time frames. Sort of makes one think this was all staged -- he has done it before--staged photos. Did you see the "body" coming off the HC? They dropped the gurney and part of it bounced up. Wouldn't the body not have been stiff by that time?????

Just heard, Michael Jackson had heart attack?
NM

Just a sad, sad day. Two pop culture icons die - Farrah and Michael Jackson.

I grew up with Michael Jackson. Used to watch the Jackson 5 cartoons in the 70s when I was a little kid. Then bought his first solo album, Off the Wall. Was watching the Apollo special when he moonwalked for the first time on stage. Bought Thriller as a teenager in the 80s and was just a huge, big-haired fan. It's like a part of my childhood just died.

And who can forget Farrah? I loved Charlie's Angels. Remember when she came back to acting after Charlie's Angels in the Burning Bed? Who knew she was more than just a sex symbol on a poster?!?!?! She fought such a courageous battle against her cancer.

I actually watch Fox as much as CNN, but (sm)
I am a Democrat and I'm a news nut, so I pretty much divided my time between the 2 channels.

My only gripe with Fox is when they rag on other news shows and/or reporters/anchors. I find it pretty unprofessional, but other than that, I appreciate the diversity. And I'm a long-time fan of Bill Hemmer. I was pleasantly surprised to see him pop up on Fox ;-)

I only watch Fox...
and I am a Republican, but I don't think that's why. I like their whole set up as far as different shows all day and I enjoy Hannity and Colmes as much as The Factor. They do lean more conservatively, but I think they have a pretty decent mix of all points of view.

I don't watch much TV either
The number of commercial interruptions is something I can't stand - there are so many FOOD COMMERCIALS! No wonder this country has a weight problem. We are given subliminal messages to eat, eat, eat! I like Animal Planet and Discovery Channel mostly but that's about it.

why would you want to watch
it's the same dialogue day after day after day, with the same expressions day after day after day, do these people seriously go the the job site and read these lines and make these expressions day after day, what a waste of time when they could be doing something good, but worst are the people who sit and watch the same dialogue and expressions day after day after day, when they could be doing something good.

Okay, well I watch it
every day and have all my life that I can remember! I don't remember a Maureen, so when I read what I did, I had no idea who it was talking about. How did you know she had a connection with Amelia and Sam?

You better watch yourself!
I just may have to write you as well and talk about my favorite thing in the world! That would bring you into the forbidden chain! Thank you so much! God gave us these beautiful animals to co-exist with, and we can all learn so much from them. I just love cats as well. They are all different. You can have 1000 cats and 1000 different pets totally. Thanks again!

I will keep a watch out for him.
I will also see if I get CMT. Thanks for the info.

Don't watch it always but I really like... sm
The blond 16-year-old (can't remember her name), she sang "I love you more today than yesterday" and I also really like the guy with the dredlocks, but can't remember his name either!!

I watch!
I love history, thanks to some gifted teachers I had back in grade school. They told us that in order to understand and enjoy history, you must put historical information in context. That is, you need to remember the PEOPLE and relate to them. These were people just like the rest of us with the same concerns for family, home, safety, etc. So, I always try to imagine me doing the things that people in history did. If things were so bad in the U.S. today, could I fight to change and throw off that government, then work to build a new country? It's amazing what these people did.

So, I've always tried to imagine myself in the position of the people we learn about in history. I try to imagine life in their time, and try to imagine doing what they did in the current time.

And when it comes to David McCullough, I can't praise enough. He can bring history alive for even the most history-hating person. I highly recommend his book on which this series is based. There is far more detail. The series really doesn't show the depth of the friendship between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. They were the fastest of friends and admired and respected each other greatly. That friendship developed during their time together in France, but that part of John Adams' life was only briefly shown. I believe the next episode will show how their friendship crumbled when they were President and Vice-President together.

Oh! I also have to admit that since I live in Philadelphia, it's very easy for me to imagine these events in the place where they happened. Back in the early 1980s, I worked just across the street and on the eastern corner from Independence Hall. Prior to the 9/11 security, I could simply wander in and out of that building, and all the other historic buildings in the area. I used to just sit on a bench and look at that building and imagine Adams, Jefferson and all the others walking in and out of the place.

If you really like American history, I also recommend McCullough's book on Harry S Truman. I downloaded it as an audiobook and listened to it on my iPod. I loved it, and I hear it is also in the works for an HBO miniseries.

How can you watch her do this?
It scares me just looking down there. Does it bother you. She's a cutie.

OMG! Watch this!

Don't watch much of anything then, do
Just kidding.

I don't watch much TV but when I do -
Tudor - I am hooked. I love the characters - especially King Henry ;-)

Also catch House and Red Eye. Don't watch too many shows because after awhile they become predictable.

Also, can't wait for the new season of True Blood.

let the dog watch you
When my teenage son picks on the dog, I just wrestle him to the ground and pretend to pound him into submission and I get the dog to join in. She still mostly avoids him and prefers me, but maybe when your son walked in, he was alpha, you changed the way you were behaving and the dog just picked up on it.

Snapping a dish towel on the head of your grown son can be really good for the soul!

No - I did not watch the trial

start to finish, as I had to work. I lived in LA at that time. I think the timing of this was crucial - just after the Rodney King debacle. I think Johnnie Cochran was very charming and had that jury in the palm of his hands. I think the investigation was botched. I'm not an expert on the trial and it's true, I don't know everything about it, but just my opinion. Even if he didn't do it, who in the heck would write this kind of book - it's just distgustingly insensitive to the victim's family, who think he did do it and who were there from start to finish.

I don't get to watch Dr. Phil much, but I did --sm
happen to see the same show you are talking about. It was VERY eye opening. I felt so bad for the woman who was involved with this scammer. It is much the same as women who get *involved* with men in prison. All these men want is money and they do not care who they get it from.
Even if the mom has no money, he does not care. His *anger* is just a ploy to make her feel guilty. I can guarantee that he has no son, he is not who he says he is, and he is probably in the middle east somewhere, as I do believe the man on Dr. Phil was in the middle east and tried to pass off his accent as from somewhere else. Please don't be too hard on your mom. She is vulnerable and *love smit*, but she needs to know the truth. Perhaps contact the Dr. Phil show and they may send a tape of that show, or he may have some personal advice for her. Good luck.

I like to watch sports... sm
I like pro hockey and the NFL. But are they overpaid? OMG yes. I can't believe what some of those guys get to hit a ball or tackle somebody. It's insane. Not to mention the special treatment they get when they break the law. Anybody else would be sitting in jail for some of the stuff they get away with.

I do not watch AI except very, very rarely, BUT.....

I have 12-year-old daughter and I feel she is just as entitled to vote as I am (if I voted which I don't). This is America and we all have rights no matter our age.

Now, if older people are playing games with the voting, that is a whole other story and AI should change their voting policy somehow so it is fair and the most talented person wins.

No, I asked did you watch all of the
case when it was on, all.

did you even WATCH last night?

in Africa and in the Adirondacks in this country and NOLA. This was not the usual american idol - no one got booted off the show and they collected MILLIONS of dollars during this 2-hour special.

Unless you watched it last night, best hold your tongue because you have no clue.......last night was not a REALITY show American Idol -

AGAIN, IT WAS A TELETHON.......

And I would say to your post, WATCH out
I had a little girl who came for the summer to stay with her father and his family down our street. The child came to play with my daughter. She was so nice, sweet, etc. but my hubby then told me to watch out, the child had loads of issues. Now how he would know that, I sure was not seeing it. Bottom lining it, my child had a bird and this little girl decided to kick the cage with the bird in it. My daughter told her to stop, 1 thing lead to another and the visiting child wound up biting my daughter all over her back, shoulders, etc. On taking my daughter to the emergency room, the nurse there said worse case of bites she had seen in her 20 years experience. I had shown this child nothing by niceness and yet this is what wound up happening.

If you didn't know them before, watch out.
You will be their best friend while they are in prison, they will probably want you to keep sending or bringing them things. Usually you will never hear from them again when they are released. Not always, but often that's what happens. Just beware.

Does anyone watch Days??
m

Does anybody watch Big Love?

I really like the actors. Call me naive but does this kind lifestyle really go on in Utah and other states? I'm from the northeast and can't even imagine. I find it fascinating. And, boy, could I use another wife or two, myself! LOL

I wanted to watch but...
Ol' big mouth Oprah won't let anyone else get a word in...she thinks she knows it all.

I watch it too and I'm Jewish. :)

Can anyone watch this without crying?

http://youtube.com/watch?v=PYBz2gjEfA

I sure couldn't. It gets me so upset I actually felt ill, but at the same time I wish everyone thinking of getting a pet could watch it. Hope I posted the link correctly. It's on shelter animals. The title is "In Hope, An Animal Shelter Story."

We were forbidden to watch
Bewitched
I Dream of Jeanie
Laugh In
Donahue

Mom was leery of:
Star Trek

Rolled her eyes over:
Gilligan's Island
Hee Haw

Yeah, I watch CSI and
Cold Case and all that and he is usually right there watching some of it too. Also, we listen to country music most of the time and there's this song out now that I think he really listens to!

Did anyone watch The View this--sm
morning and get the name of the book/author Whoopie was talking about? It was "The Education of???" It is about a young Indian boy and his life. It was an Ophra book club book until she found out the author (who is now dead) was in the KKK and she pulled the book from her list. We live in Cherokee, NC and my kids are into tribal life.

Watch out I just figured out how to do this
Hey now, this is how we need to all transcribe, with three little assistants to help us all. Adia on the bookshelf. Vincent on the desk and Tristen on the shelf. Vincent has since crossed the rainbow bridge, he is sorely missed by all. Anyone else out there able to match this for helpers in photographic evidence, lets have a contest.

That sounds like fun to watch! LOL NM

I own it on DVD, but can't bring myself to actually watch it!
It seems way too sad! My husband will never watch it with me because it's a "chick flick." LOL!

Please watch your language

It is okay to disagree with any particular post, but unnecessary to use vulgar language.

but that's the thing, someone might watch and come up
with the money or get involved and form an organization to raise the money....exposure goes a long, long way beyond knowledge. Sometimes it reeps action and she can hit the masses to find the people who have the resources and drive.
