Is it better to pay it all off and be done with it or is there a benifit to paying a mortgage and using my money in other areas such as cd’s etc. ?

I can travel if needed, but I don’t know how much to charge to clean a house??

I was staying at my aunts house last weekend and I was bored on a Sunday night and decided to write one of those sexual fantasy stories like you see in a Penthouse letter. This letter was so graphic and embarrasing. I was basically talking about how I was going to be naked in front of Jennifer Anniston and have her dominate over me calling me all kinds of names making fun of my small 3.5 inch penis. I also had stuff in there about me being naked and on my knees kissing her beautiful white butt and rimming her talking about how georgous and beautiful the white woman is. I am chinese by the way. I mean also took it a step further about her using a sex toy on me and treating me like a chink.

Don’t ask me why I get off on that stuff but it is just fantasy. My cousin Jamie whose 18 and not the most mature girl found this and thought it was hysterical and she said I am a chinese oreo, and I should be ashamed of even writing something so humilating about myself. How do I explain this?

I mean after all everyone else keeps getting knocked down for wins over teams that the poll’s think aren’t good..well lets be real miss state isn’t a good team..so shouldn’t LSU get knocked down for losing to a alabama team we now know isn’t very good..but should have beaten LSU. I feel LSU keeps getting love for close wins…while other teams keep getting pushed down for the same reasons.

gotta have it go both ways. can’t give one team the benefit of the doubt because of the league it plays in. i mean after all Kentucky is a historically bad team…LSU shouldn’t be given love for beating a historically bad team. you can take kansas. you have michigan ranked based off of past history when we all know they havent played anyone and dont deserve to be ranked 12…but suddenly kansas another historically bad team..is in the top 10…well what about bosie state a few years ago. they were going freaking 12-1 for about 3 years straight and couldn’t crack the top 15. HISTORICALLY they have
bosie state has been pretty damn good. so where was their love
i can tell many of you can’t read. I NEVER SAID LSU LOST TO BAMA nor did i say the BEAT KU. I SAID why do they keep getting love for BARELY WINNING. as for bosie state having the weakest schedule..oh yeah like playing nebraska, colorado, texas tech..baylor..do i need to go on…is a really great schedule. only reason ANY person would think those are good teams is because of the deals the big conferences have made with the bcs inorder to put their conferences on top.
bama grad. you and i think alike. i’m not hating on LSU either. i’m just stating a fact. they are BARELY beating their teams and yet we keep hearing how great they are. luck plays a huge part in that..not just being a great team. I’ve watched EVERY game this year that matters and i’m not sorry to say that i just don’t believe LSU could man up the ducks..i just don’t see it. OU, LSU MIGHT beable to man up them but I seriously doubt it. When the sec’s HISTORICALLY BAD TEAMS suddenly become good…why isn’t anyone saying..well perhaps the level of play in the sec is suddenly dropped..no instead we hear that it just got better.

i personally don’t think so. i think it went down. I don’t think kentucky.who i enjoy watching could hang with the ducks or usc or even cal for that matter, i don’t think miss state woulld either nor do i think that anyone on kansas schedule could do the same. point is.similar teams in different leagues. the bottom half of the pac 10 is better than botton sec.
i’m no ohio state fan. they suck my bleep bleeeeeep…i’m cheering the fact they are being beat right now.

it’s bad enough PSU plays Coastal Carolina and Temple, but to schedule a cupcake like Alabama? C’mon JoePa, play a real team from a real conference.
dave y, we might be the only two people old enough to remember that game.

There has never been a lack of Alabama politicians who use hot-button issues to draw attention to themselves. More often than not, those issues don’t help move our state forward.

That can be certainly said of the misguided, heavyhanded bill proposed by state Rep. DuWayne Bridges, R-Valley, to block publicly funded educational institutions like the University of Alabama at Birmingham from offering same-sex partner benefits. UAB began offering such benefits last fall, and it didn’t take long for Bridges and a few others to start the political pandering. Bridges’ shallow argument is that he doesn’t think “the university should waste money by making a liberal or politically correct statement.”

bnssuabed123.jpgAnd the Legislature shouldn’t waste its time trying to micromanage policy decisions at the state’s universities.

What Bridges fails to understand is that not only is offering such benefits a fairness issue, but that UAB offers the benefits so the medical school and other parts of the university can compete with top schools across the nation which offer such benefits. The benefits aren’t just for same-sex couples, either. The university allows employees to enroll domestic partners of either sex in its health insurance plan. The University of Alabama in Huntsville also offers domestic partner benefits, and the benefit is being considered at the University of Alabama.

Bridges’ bill would punitively yank state funding from any college or university that offers such benefits.

Offering domestic partner benefits isn’t unusual. A survey last year by the nonprofit Human Rights Campaign found that 83 percent of Fortune 100 companies offer same-sex partner or domestic partner benefits. The organization also notes that 74 of the 130 universities on the U.S. News & World Report list of top schools offer domestic partner benefits.

UAB is one of the most important economic engines in Alabama. UAB is a leader in the Southeast in medical research; the university is the world leader in kidney transplants; the medical school and many of its medical disciplines are among the best in the nation.

To recruit and keep top doctors, professors and scientists, UAB has to offer competitive benefits. Besides, offering domestic partner benefits is just right.

Hot-button issues might get a politician some attention in Alabama, but that doesn’t mean they’re worth much else. The Legislature should stay out of this and let the universities decide which benefits to offer employees. Besides, lawmakers have plenty of important decisions to make this session. These hot-button tangents are not constructive.

Bridges’ wrongheaded bill had its first reading on the first day of the legislative session and was promptly referred to the Education Appropriations Committee in the House. Let’s hope that’s where it stays and where it dies.

I let out a big sigh when one of my students called me.  He talked with a landowner who lived in Michigan but owned a parcel of land in Florida.  The landowner was interested in selling but said that first he was going to call a Realtor in Florida to determine the value of the property.

So why did I sigh?  My experience says that they are going to contact the wrong person and get bad advice (mostly in regards to price).  Ultimately the deal will fall through.

Most sellers don’t understand that they cannot contact just ANY Realtor to help them make an informed decision.  They are best served to contact a Realtor who is experienced in land.  It is the same dynamic if I am considering buying a self storage complex.  I don’t call ANY Realtor – I find one who understands how to value commercial properties.

Sounds simple doesn’t it?  I have had too many experiences in negotiating with landowners where the deal was derailed by a Realtor who didn’t have experience valuing land. This isn’t a knock against Realtors in general.

Let’s face it – to value land in this economy is tricky at best.  It is imperative to find a land professional that knows the local area and is familiar with land that has recently sold in there.  So if I am going to do a deal in Alabama, I am calling a Realtor who is experienced in land statewide as well as locally.  I am not going to call a land Realtor in Georgia or North Carolina because land in Alabama is unique in regards to terrain, demand, price per acre, etc.

Why am I such a big fan of land Realtors?  They are a critical person in the process to understand land values and whether a parcel is a good value or not.

I cut my teeth in land when I was an office manager at a land brokerage (I am an investor not a Realtor).  While I was there, about 60% of the buyers bought land sight unseen.  It was because they were looking at land like stock.  They were TRUSTING that the land Realtors at the office evaluated the property correctly.

My boss was the stereotypical land broker.  He came to work dressed in his cowboy hat and boots and had a drawl that this city boy could sometimes not understand.  But he KNEW his area and was passionate about finding only the best deals for his buyers.

But the stereotype of the land Realtor is changing.  With the advent of the Internet, land Realtors still know their area well.  But now they have evolved into Internet real estate specialists creating high quality marketing pieces for websites and email requests.

It is my opinion that we are not going to have enough experienced land Realtors to service the upcoming demand for all land types.  With the stock market and economy in continued decay, more and more investors are going to turn to land as one safe haven to place their money.

Investors are going to have to trust an experienced land Realtor’s opinion on finding good values.  Are you one of them?

I have been a part of over 600 land deals and virtually every transaction has been closed with the help of a land Realtor.  I would not turn to anyone else!

So how does one find a land Realtor in the area where you hope to buy?  Here are a couple of suggestions:

Go to www.rliland.com and search through their free database of land Realtors.  Look for “Find a Land Consultant” tab on the site to begin your search. Go on the Internet and select the state and county that you are searching and see which Realtor is listing land parcels for sale in that area.  Usually they will have enough experience in land to assist you. Sometimes I call a large brokerage office by phone and ask for the land specialist in their mix of Realtors.  Unfortunately I have had some Realtors misrepresent themselves so you have to be careful to interview them to determine if they are the right person.  (I have a chapter in my manual on “How to Find the Right Realtor” that goes into how to interview for a land Realtor to determine if they are right person for your real estate need).

One of the best decisions you can ever make when purchasing land is to find a land Realtor to serve your needs.
