  5. Yup....I'm guilty. I wanted to hear the joke. Thanks Wingut! Now I can tease Mike and tell him that I've actually heard the joke...and he hasn't. Of course, I traded you some interesting jokes/tricks for it...yes? Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

  9. Not so long ago, I worked at a small car dealership. We specialized in helping people who had "troubled credit" which included bankruptcies. We didn't do our own financing, but had banks who did it for us. Things that you need to know: 1. You need to have had a consistent 3 year work history, with no breaks, even if you changed jobs. Also, many banks limit how many jobs you may have worked in those 3 years. 2. Most finance companies require a home phone (NOT a cell phone). 3. You need some sort of positive credit, BEFORE you filed the bankruptcy, in the last couple of years. Something that was at least $2000 and paid on GOOD for at least 12 months (that's 12 PAYMENTS). It can either be something that you paid off...or something you might still be paying on. 4.Your prior credit history before all the unfortunate accidents happened will, unfortunately, affect your credit score...and the interest rate the bank charges. 5. In Georgia, I've seen interest rates as low as percentages in the teens but as high as 29%. It's very rare to come out of a bankruptcy and expect or receive an interest rate below say 18%. Most auto finance companies center on the 20% rate normally. 6. You will now start getting blasted with all sorts of mail, from various dealerships, offering to help you. [B]DO NOT let a whole lot of companies pull your credit. Every time they pull your credit, it reduces your already flagging beacon rating. And most of these dealerships will pull your credit and submit you to a mimimum of 2-3 financial institutions each, and each of those companies will ALSO pull your credit. 7.DO NOT go to a "buy here-pay here." They do not report to the credit bureau of your payments. And a lot of those companies repossess if you get just a few days past due. 8. I know the payments sound high, but you can mentally figure a minimum of $25 of payment for every $1000 financed, if it's a 5 year loan. If the loan period is less than 5 years, then the payments are going to obviously go up. 9. I don't suggest buying a vehicle for cash. You've expressed the desire to rebuild your credit. Credit is the easiest thing to get at first and the hardest thing to rebuild if you end up having problems. And car credit is the hardest. Their reasoning: *If you buy a house and you don't pay for it, they'll just repossess it. *If you have a credit card and don't pay for it, they'll just discontinue it. *If you have a car and don't pay the payments, there are many people who take off with the vehicle and hide it. You're suffering because of some other idiots mistakes. Feel free to PM me if you have more questions. Special Financing for automobiles was what I did for 5 1/2 years. I have a friend in Georgia who still works for the dealership. I could give you his number, if you were willing to make the drive. Or at least call him for some advice.

  11. Why does it have to be the woman messing up the relationship if a couple decides to get married at 50+? It COULD have been the man's idea. Contrary to popular belief, a lot of the time, it's the [B]MAN who decides he has a burning desire to get married and convinces the woman it's a good idea. But who says getting married is going to mess up the relationship either? Marriage isn't such an evil thing, unless you go into it thinking it is. You get out of it what you put into it. Yes, I realize a lot of marriages don't work. I also realize a lot of them do. And I realize that there are a lot of couples who AREN'T married who are miserable together too....so I don't think it's a piece of paper or a name change that messed anything up. Other than dying, there are no guarantees in life. You get married and you try your very, very best to make it a wonderful experience. Sometimes though, no matter how hard you try to make it work...you just can't. You have to be adult enough to realize when you know it's done and to let go. If you do, then you can remain friends with that person until the day you die. If you wait until you feel something close to hatred before you let go...you've only hurt yourself. Good friends are hard to find/keep. I don't regret my past marriages. They were learning experiences. Without those learning blocks, I wouldn't be the person I am today. And I thank each of my ex's for that. Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts? (RIP Buzz) Yep, you're a postwhore-billyvance

  19. Yup...my youngest daughter is about to be 18. She's had to help with her little brother, who is 7 years younger than her, most of her life. She SWEARS she's never having kids now!

  21. A man was flying from Seattle to San Francisco. Unexpectedly, the plane stopped in Sacramento along the way. The flight attendant explained that there would be a delay, and if the passengers wanted to get off the aircraft, the plane would re-board in 50 minutes. Everybody got off the plane except one gentleman who was blind. The man had noticed him as he walked by and could tell the gentleman was blind because his seeing eye dog lay quietly underneath the seats in front of him throughout the entire flight. He could also tell he had flown this very flight before because the pilot approached him, and calling him by name, said, "Keith, we're in Sacramento for almost an hour. Would you like to get off and stretch your legs?" The blind man replied, "No thanks, but maybe my dog would like to stretch his legs." Picture this: All the people in the gate area came to a complete standstill when they looked up and saw the pilot walk off the plane with a Seeing Eye dog! The pilot was even wearing sunglasses. People scattered. They not only tried to change planes, but they were trying to change airlines! Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

  25. I "talked" to Billy late last week. Baby was due on Monday or Tuesday. He promised an announcement to at least the CRWdog list when the "lima bean" arrives...but no notification yet. I think the mother-to-be has him working hard on the house, yard, etc. to make it acceptable for the little one's arrival. Poor Billy. All working....and no jumping. But on a positive note, that means I get to borrow his Lightning 143!!!! YAY!
