Lucky

It's hard enough watching Sarah Palin, but watching her daughter dance may be harder. She is luckier than the Situation, who also cannot dance at all, because she has Mark, a really skilled dancer, to make her look better. The Situation cannot lead, as Mark can, so he loses some of the benefit of his teacher, whose name escapes me. Why am I watching Dancing with the Stars? Well, truthfully, I only watch for Derek Hough. Boy, can he dance. But now, with Bristol and The Situation, well, you look to see who is going to fall down first. But, Levi and the Situation, yes, I would watch. I would even watch Derek and The Situation. The Situation....and he has us calling him that?!

Ho-Ho Hotels do that all the time. Next thing you know, they will ask you to save water by not having your room cleaned that day- at all! The poor maids lose out, you don't get your room cleaned, and Oz gets no ho's in his room!

That boy couldn't take all of Ralph in his mouth, but he sure did take it all in his ass. Matrix- next?

Well, I didn't watch it all, BUT, I did get a kick out of you asking to have a post deleted. Me, I just edit them to death. Now everyone sing along....it's raining, it''s pouring...

My post was meant to be light-hearted. After all, I do edit them a lot.

Don't let me catch you editing a post...not to mention getting one deleted!

Who knows how to win hearts and minds better than Lookin?

31 years ago he cruised my roommate at the grocery. That's as first hand as I can get on this.

Good point on those admin costs, CharlieSF. (Giving directly to me would reduce that.) And no one is happy with mail and phone requests either. Go to the grocery, Costco, Walgreens, the movies, etc, and they all want you to make a donation today to whatever cause they deem just.

And, not to leave anyone out:

Why stop at the eye?

Adult men voluntarily agreeing to ban discussions of politics on a gay message board? Okay with me, as I have never seen anyone change his mind due to a political discussion here...or over there!

I'm guessing that this is a rhetorical question! But, if not, then surely a bank would go slow when someone waved money at them. It's not as they don't have enough real foreclosures to deal with. And, even with those it reportedly can take two years from start to finish if you fight it.

Tomcal's Lurkin Zipper Forum? (The Lurkin includes a nod to lookin...)

There are some guys I would pay...if I could...just to get their attention. But the news on Noah Driver is surely disappointing and I could not imagine hiring hi if these facts bear out. But, as jimboiyvo points out, most of those bitching never would have been hiring him anyway. So let's wish him the best and hope he gets things in order. As for Daddy, when he first met me in a restaurant in Seattle not long after Hooboy's death, he told me his plan to get donations rolling in. So he may have accepted the consequences of his decision to go to foreclosure, but I sure wonder where those donations went.

The Gallery at the other site has proved to be a huge success despite initial misgivings by some. Either way is okay with me, but please take note: the name The Zipper Zone as a forum name was my idea!!!!

Donating funds is a sore subject today. There is an inordinate amount of good causes to pick from, and an equal number of scammers who will take your last dollar crying all the time how much they will put it to a good cause. I feel for those who really need help and give it when I can. Since I have cut escorts out, I find I still don't have much to give after I give to family and friends in need. So it is up to you guys who do have a few bucks to follow up on this.

Coy about specifics only because I was weighing whether to bring the subject up at all. We are told that we should sometimes wait to post, but when I did Mr. Yankee got his goose in a gander thinking I was hiding something. MsGuy is right- it was the foreclosure issue and the question of what good faith donations were asked for and received in order to prevent or delay it. I chose not to go into the question, but since Mr. Yankee is predisposed to find fault with me, I couldn't win either way I went. He and I did not get along so well back in the Hooville days and he does not want to let that go. See, for example, his comments in the kindergarten thread on September 13th when even my nemesis matrix told him he was overreacting. Beyond that, even if it were about Driver, my concerns are my concerns. If I decide that I don't want to be the one to bring it up, I am not "off-base." But Mr. Yankee just couldn't resist.

Your presumptuousness is what is off base as this was not what I had in my mind when I posted what I did. You keep making these digs at me and I don't like it. You chastised me earlier for this month even though you were off-base, and if you want me to stop posting here I will.

What does war do to our youth? Here's one example, where a good-looking young soldier tells about going around whacking innocent civilians in Afghanistan for the fun of it. See the video: http://thelede.blogs.nytimes.com/2010/09/27/soldier-describes-murder-of-afghan-for-sport-in-leaked-tape/?hp

So the guy I saw with the most tokens this morning had all of a dime? Wow.

Oz- a) Lucky thinks out loud. Lucky sleeps on it c) Lucky decides to shut mouth d) others wonder what was on his mind e) speculation begins f) possibilities are pitched about two possible topics g) matrix discusses the possibilities h) life goes on..Oz decides to read Daddy's website!

Hopefully no one here is going to be faced with foreclosure, but there are websites designed to give free advice on how to handle it when the time comes. Banks, faced with more foreclosures than they ever anticipated, are often willing to deal, or at least delay a foreclosure if you make some good faith effort to make some of the payments. Better to get some money than to go ahead with the costly and unpredictable process of foreclosure. Here is some of the advice easily available on the internet: From foreclosurefish.com How to Delay Foreclosure for As Long As Possible July 22, 2008, 9:36 am Posted by Nick in Legal Information Rating: 5/5 The most important element of the legal process known as foreclosure is time. Homeowners never seem to have enough of it to recover fully from their financial hardship, to work out a solution with their lender, or move out of the house before eviction. However, there are a number of ways to put the process on hold even just for a few extra weeks. Even for families who have no desire or ability to stop foreclosure and keep making payments on a house, it may be helpful for them to live in the property for free for as long as they can. This gives them time to put together a savings plan, pay down other debts, or just begin to recover from the hardship that pushed them into foreclosure. And for homeowners who do want to save their homes, the longer they can try to find a way out, the more likely they will be to succeed. Probably the most important tactic will be to contest the lender's foreclosure lawsuit at every turn, either through the use of an attorney or by diligently reading and understanding the rules to make motions in court. Banks are often given a free pass by homeowners to steal houses because the lawsuit is not challenged. The mortgage company gets a default judgment and the property is fast-tracked to sheriff sale, while the eviction date approaches ever closer. The best way to make sure homeowners have more time is simply to answer, contest, or object to every paper that the bank files in court. With thousands of rules and laws and regulations at every level from local to state to federal, it is almost guaranteed the lender did something wrong. The trick is for homeowners to learn how they can identify these rules violations or contest the foreclosure based on other legal concepts, and make the best defense they can. Of course, it is also vital for the borrowers to make sure that they are following the court rules as closely as possible. Many courts allow between 15-20 days for an answer to be filed after the date of service. The sooner homeowners file their answer, though, the sooner the bank will file its own answer again; thus, for homeowners looking for more time, it may be beneficial to file the paperwork on the 14th or 19th day (depending on when it is due). The lender also needs to be served with any motions filed in court, and sending the paperwork certified or registered mail will take up another few days. With the length of time a typical lawsuit can take, and the complexity in a contract law case involving foreclosure, this simple tactic can give homeowners 1-2 years of extra time to remain in their home without making a mortgage payment. Two of the more creative methods of defending against a foreclosure that have come up recently is contesting who owns the original loan, and requesting the entire loan be rescinded due to violations of the Truth in Lending (TIL) regulations. Of course, these may not be successful in every case of mortgage foreclosure, but getting more time to work on a long-term solution is the main goal. But combined with a contingency plan for bankruptcy, homeowners can take even more time to plan for their financial futures and eliminate one of the last remaining headaches -- their other debt. Declaring bankruptcy even just a few days or hours before a sheriff sale has the effect of immediately stopping the auction and putting the foreclosure process on hold while the issue is tied up in bankruptcy court. This can give borrowers another few months to stay in their home mortgage free and save up money. Also, if the homeowners are in foreclosure because of a financial hardship, and have loads of other credit lines that are in default, it may make sense for them to discharge these debts and get a fresh start with Chapter 7 bankruptcy. Once the mortgage is finally dealt with and the owners have to move out (hopefully years after the initial missed payment), there may be little logical reason to keep paying other unsecured debts like credit cards or personal loans with skyrocketing interest rates and huge junk fees. A few thousand dollars in credit card debt can quickly balloon to tens of thousands of dollars once interest rates go up to 29%, and homeowners just getting over a foreclosure may not want to deal with this past headache. As well, with two years of late mortgage payments and a foreclosure, their credit can not get any worse so it may be the perfect time for bankruptcy. Hopefully with two years of savings, homeowners will not feel compelled to borrow money at 19% interest ever again. Bankruptcy can give such families the one way ticket they need out of the debt trap. Homeowners are facing foreclosure in record numbers due to the predatory lending, financing, and investing activities of the largest banks in the world. Much of the coming depression was engineered, either inadvertently or purposely, and it is up to the borrowers to defend themselves against the economic devastation anyway they can. It is a mistake for homeowners to give these lenders a free pass, allow them to foreclose with no objections, move out of a house too soon, and put the financial health of the banks ahead of their families' futures by continuing to make impossible payments on debt that was never designed to be paid back.

There is a sucker born every minute. Paying up front, or giving charitably when you have no idea how the money is really going to be used it not wise. That's why with the new Cam4 tipping policy I won't tip until I know what I am getting! One can never be too careful these days.

So, if we instituted a tipping policy here, would more escorts post? Or would I just get rich?
