That doesn't sound good. I worry myself

In Reply to: Have a lawyer... - Amanda
as I have life insurance through American General who was supposedly bought out by AIG because everytime I get a letter from the insurance company, it comes in an AIG envelope.
I dealt with this life insurance company since 1975 and I would sure hate to lose the insurance since DH now cannot be insured by another company without a rigorous PE, which he wouldn't do.
Another thumbs up or "I told you so" from hubby if this happens and I sure would hate to acknowledge he was right. I'm beginning to think he can see into the future. So many of his predictions have come true.

O doesn't have to worry about NY
Well, I doubt O has to worry about carrying NY, I think it is pretty much a given. Wonder how much influence they have on other states.
It doesn't sound like you have any choice......
I would talk to a lawyer...BUT, you have to remember what's in it for him, too.....
It doesn't just sound cold
It is cold and selfish. This is a generation who worked very hard and paid in to SS all their lives and they deserve better. Grow a heart, for crying out loud.
This doesn't sound like it is coming from your "mouth"
but, in all fairness, yes, it was caused by people taking out mortgages they couldn't afford.
For example, my husband and I bought our property back in ྆. Price: $12,500 for 2 1/2 acres and a bungalow. Banks thought it wasn't worth that amount and the seller settled for $8,500. According to the county, it is worth $100,000. Oh, no more bungalow. We built a basement above the bungalow after the flood of ྜ, which we are still living in because we couldn't afford to drop a modular or finish the home on top. Yet we pay taxes on $100,000 home we could probably only sell for $50,000. We don't care. It's ours and we own it outright.
Year 2005: Developers started building homes on farm land and selling them anywhere from $150K to $500K in this area, a really job-depressed area where minimum wage is the norm. Developments sprouted up like mushrooms. We couldn't figure out where these people are getting the money. Now we know. You wouldn't believe all the homes in this area are being sold now...but the relators are still asking anywhere from $150K to $500K. It's unbeliveable [sic].
In my opinion, no one needs a home that has umpteen rooms with travatine tile bathrooms that have separate showers, a jacuzii [sic], tub that you can swim in, granite counter tops with top-of-the-line appliances in the kitchens, and solid hardwood floors throughout, $1000 faucets, and I could go on and on.
Whatever happened to the house with the necessities:, i.e., enough bedrooms for the family, 1-1/2 baths which was a tub/shower combination, and toilet, sink 1/2 bath? Not good enough for today's buyers, is it?
It's time people get back to basics. That's all. I don't just blame the government. I blame the TV shows and magazines that focus on all this ritzy stuff. Pay $450 for a faucet? Not me. I paid $99 for a faucet and I thought that was too much, but it was WITHIN MY BUYING POWER. That's where the other people went wrong.
Even my son. I told him not to take a mortgage on their home to improve it. He did it anyway (when do children start listening to their parents). The house was in his wife's family for 100s of years. Well, they are now in bankruptcy court and the house will now be sold. Plus they are getting a divorce over this even though his wife was all for it before.
Sorry, just had to vent.
This is good, sound thinking.
I agree. I would love to go back in-house. As for Shelly's situation, I am wondering if geography is not playing a role. Some parts of the country will be suffer more than others and for longer.
Good grief--Why worry about what
x
Good question. That is what I worry about as well (sm)
Will doctors who do not want to perform abortions be forced to or lose their jobs? Will any healthcare worker who refuses to be a part of abortions be out of work?
So if being dominated doesn't feel good,
This has nothing to do with any of the other drivel about Nazism, socialism or what. Its time for your medicine.
I'm sure it "sounds" real good...too bad he doesn't really believe it and you....
What you get if O is elected, is a whole lot of not what he's promising.
Such gullible fools half this country is.
Good dodge, but it doesn't let you off the hook with regards to the point

She doesn't have to tell me....good grief, it's a free country...
I just asked. You read all these posts and all you got out of it is that we just insulted each other? :) And you don't have to tell me anything. Just an observation.
Who says Obama doesn't have a good sense of humor?

Ayers doesn't regret the bombings, doesn't feel like they did enough sm
In a story that appeared in the Times on the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, Ayers told a reporter while promoting his memoir "Fugitive Days": "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."
Mr. Ayers, now a professor of education in Chicago, was a founder of the Weather Underground, which bombed government buildings in the early 1970s. He was indicted on conspiracy charges that were thrown out for prosecutorial misconduct.
He served with Mr. Obama on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago, a charitable organization, and, along with his wife, the former Weather Underground member Bernardine Dohrn, hosted Mr. Obama at his home in 1995 when he was running for state office.
Mr. Obama has called Mr. Ayers "somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old."...so because it was 40 years ago, and Ayers is still proud of what he did, how is it justifiable for a US presidential candidate to now be friends with this man? Unless he has the same view of America.
Let me rephrase that. It doesn't *seem like* my vote doesn't count...sm
It does not count because its in the bag that our 3 electoral votes will go to the republican party.
Does this sound like more of the same or what?
nm
you sound no different than what men say...
I have no idea where you even got: Take pot shots at her skills or work history, but how can you possibly rip on her for having a career and children.
- so any woman who does not work and raises children which is probably THE most important job, they are beneath you?
and then this: Do you want us all barefoot, pregnant, and waiting on Ward hand and foot again?
ROTFL - who are you responding to?
You know, you may not mean to, but you sound...
supremely arrogant. You don't know me and you have ballooned something simple into something ridiculous.
Number one...I was not clear on the Infants born Alive Act, because the Infants Born Alive bill DID pass on the federal level..and I did lobby my congresspeople to vote for it, which they did, so obviously most of their constituents wanted them to pass it. Most people don't even know it went to the federal level and was passed. Nobody got up and announced that either...but I was following it. I follow those kinds of things, and believe me, locally people knew about it too. Most pro life groups knew about it. I was informed about in via email because I am in touch with pro life groups. So, again, please do not act like you know who I am or what I believe in or stand up for. Because you don't. And, by the way, Obama did not "weigh in" on the federal bill. I still find his stand on it in Illinois callous to the enth degree and his morality and decision making process, in MY opinion, are seriously lacking.
So, thankfully, no more babies piling up, unless of course he repeals the law when he becomes President. I would not put it past him.
Again, you might not mean to sound like you are on a high horse, but that is the way you come off.
As to looking to come out clean...all I said, and all I MEANT was: I am so opposed to Barack Obama, and everything I believe he stands for, that I will not be party to his getting into the white house in any way, shape or form. I campaign locally against him, I volunteer at the McCain offices, and will do whatever I can to prevent his being elected. Including not voting for him myself. BUT..if he IS elected...and the economy and this country take the road I think they will take...I will not have the added burden of regretting voting for him and giving him the power to hose this country. THAT has NOTHING to do with coming out clean in a mess.
You sound like me!!!
Our fridge is a Montgomery-Ward (no idea how old it is, but it still works). The stove has pilot lights - my mom's stove is over 20 years old and has electronic ignition. We have crap well water, too. Turns everything orange. God knows what's in it besides iron. We haul water from my family's homes 2 hours away every time we visit, for cooking and drinking. My husband and I had the bare minimum to start up with, so, I go to Salvation Army or Goodwill to buy household goods - glasses, casserole dishes, table cloths, etc. It's not MADE IN CHINA. It's good old fashioned stuff that has "character." And at the same time I am recycling and giving back to the community (screw Wal-Mart). I could care less about material crap. I do have a newer vehicle (Scion xB 2008) - but I needed something dependable to get me back and forth to help care for my dying father. My husband can't change a lightbulb and my old car was nickle and diming me to death. Most of my money goes to groceries, too. Now you have me craving crab legs.........
Don't worry
Humor is completely lost on them.
Let me worry about how I look
don't worry your hateful little head.
Don't worry!
I am very sorry for the worry you will have.
At the same time, I hope you did not share these feelings with your son.
here's what I worry about
I agree with you that she will back up Obama when he is the official presumptive nominee. I think she is sincere in wanting to get a Democrat in the white house, even if it's not her. What I worry about is in her neverending quest to be the nominee she has made her loyalists very anti-Obama. She's really hurting the Democrats' chances in November by fighting this so hard with the rules committee and all. We need a unified party for November. I also worry that her loyalists are going to try to bully Obama into putting her on the ticket (not a good pairing IMO), as in, put her on the ticket or we won't vote for you in November.
And......Does that worry you? nm
sssssssss
At least they don't have to worry about having to ...sm
lose everything they have worked for all their lives because of a serious illness that their insurance won't cover.
Something I think all of us should worry about.
This whole ACORN thing is just nuts. A guy who is currently in England said that he already registered and voted early which proves that voter fraud is happening. This is something that should concern both democrats and republicans. Now I'm sure a lot of these registrations obviously won't show up to vote, but what about the ones who registered and then voted the same day. What about them? I just think it is a shame. Our country is better than this. The voters deserve better than this. I'm all for getting people to go out and vote. That is our right as American citizens to cast our vote......but when dishonest people pull this kind of stuff....it just really saddens me.
Oh, don't worry about me...
I'd pass. Would you?
Well, don't worry............sm
you won't get rotund on Obama's ice cream. He will make sure of that.
Still, I think you are rude and extremely condescending and arrogant to talk to people the way you do. sheesh.
Don't worry
I don't think it will be too long after January 20th that this board will be filled with "I can't believe Obama did that" or "That's not what Obama said he was going to do" He's also backed out on the promise of Change by surrounding himself with reruns of the Clinton administration. The time to not be blinded was before the election - now we have to make sure we're not fooled for the next four years.
Don't worry, they are going to have
hands!
Don't worry, she ain't going away!! she
name....she has too much fun here arguing with herself! ! I think she is hilarious, which ever name she uses.
"I won't have to worry..."
Obviously you do not watch TV. There have been numerous Obama supporters (albeit poor, uneducated people who were promised the moon to get on the bus and vote) who have been interviewed on TV stating, "I voted for Obama, now I won't have to worry about paying my mortage or paying for groceries or health care-Obama will take care of me now." I've watched those people on TV and just go to YouTube and you can watch the reruns.
Don't worry Lu...
Jack Murtha already said he'd house some of them in his district in PA. They're no worse than what he has there already. How get gets re-elected I'll never know.
O is doing nothing to worry me, FYI. nm
Don't worry...(sm)
The "pigs" will balance the budget. We just have to clean out all that manure that was left in the trough first.
nothing much we can do about it - so i just worry about
taking it 1 day at a time. If i keep my job 1 more day, i can buy some food. If i keep my job for 2 weeks, I can pay 1/2 my rent. And so on. MT is a hand-to-mouth world these days, so I dont have the time nor the energy to worry about what the big shots up on the Hill are doing.
Hon, don't worry about getting your
spelling straightened out. You got too many other problems in your life you need to get straightened out to worry about a little misspelled word!!!
No, that marriage ceremony was not gender specific, but how in the world would Adam and Steve ever have replenished the earth? Oh, I know, I am just one of those religious whacks, I guess. Thank God He gave me that much intelligence!! Good luck to you.
Not to worry. I don't think they'd be particularly
Regardless of what your sexual orientation might be.
Don't worry.
I am sure you will lose your rights and be extraordinarily renditioned by Homeland Security to one of the FEMA concentration camps for re-education before the bill comes due for this current economic crisis.
Nothing but the sound of crickets....
I got this from the conservative board, one of their faves. Tee-hee.
You sound so sexist.
or not. You can still be predjucial against others, and you obviously have problems with women.
You sound like a kindergarner
You come by here and make little snips, not really saying anything, just trolling. If you have something to add, please say it, but try to act like a grownup.
yes, you sound simple.
nm
Feel better now? You sound
awfully miserable in your skin...
Just how stupid can you sound?
Who the h@ll cares if this guy is license or not? He's not the running for president....I believe that is Obama, the person that is supposed to have questions asked of him. You afraid to have Obama answers questions that haven't be scripted beforehand? I'm sure you are, now that he was actually heard saying spread the wealth. He actually lost votes after that. His true colors are not out there for everyone to see.
Not sure why you feel so bitter that you name call a guy who was just standing in the crowd asking a question. I find it rather humerous that O lovers suddenly start attacking a citizen for asking a simple question of the very "policies" O is spewing out there. Man, ya'll must be desperate!
You don't sound educated because
of some of your posts below.
You sound so full of yourself
bust a gut at any moment, so could be all that mountain biking has been in vain and instead your perfectly proportioned bod is bloated with bull.
Your OP is a good example why there is a difference between those folks you claim to hang with and the ones here who have to endure the cesspool that those types of remarks turn this forum into on a minute-by-minute basis.
You missed the point of the other post. Here's a hint. It was not about chili dogs and cheese and going gaga over Obama, but you were in such a hurry to try to be cute while you post your disgust, you didn't notice.
I too would like to suggest that it might be a good idea to at least CONSIDER keeping your pot shot drive by negative snipes to yourself every now and then.
