100 Year Mortgage: A Modest Proposal
About two years ago, as we drove along the Gulf Coast of Florida, we were appalled at the number of foreclosures, green slimy swimming pools and derelict neighborhoods because of abandonment of homes. It occurred to me then that this could have been avoided by extending mortgages, probably to 40 years. I still think that extending mortgages, is better than asking for abandonment of houses. Even the bank is not going to do well in foreclosures in this market. So? Why not?
Yesterday, my son Jeff, mentioned that the Japanese were using a one hundred year mortgage, so I thought I would look it up! My thoughts go deeper than the need for a longer mortgage, like why we have rising costs, and why we do not run government like our home. This country is our home! Lets start with stopping foreclosures, lets review finances and see if they folks can survive with a longer mortgage, with a review in 5 years to see if the house can be sold or refinanced for a shorter term. There are so many ways to handle this!

Rod Stewart's, home in Architectural Digest
Architectural Digest 10/04 ROD STEWART
I saved the copy of the magazine, so I could look at it and dream. His house is one of the most beautiful homes I have ever enjoyed. Color is so important in my life. Color rules, soft and gentle, then bright and bursting....I like to change with seasons, or with moods. During my down periods, I seem to decorate and punctuate with red, during smoother times, I lean toward blues. It is so refreshing to change the decor of a bedroom, or living area, by just switching the throws and pillows, and in a room with lots of color, you can mix and match, predominant colors. Excitement, rules, there is a secret in every corner, a message behind the decor, the Lord's prayer and angels sing from my ceiling, while books peek out of every resting place they find, squeezing a place among the family pictures that punctuate the rooms. Books full of secrets, just like my house is full of secrets waiting to be divulged by looking at the decor, and its hidden messages. Our home is a small picture of a busy, exciting and full life, full of challenges, travels, discoveries, and creativity. Is your home a microcosm of your life, and why not?

Diamonds are a girls best friend, or is it a house?
Diamonds are a girl's best friend, how can we forget Marilyn Monroe singing that......and on his last divorce, Rod Stewart said something like this,
next time, instead of getting married, I will just give her the house.
Wow! you should see his house! It was in one of the magazines, and it is my taste, lots of color and excitement, something like an ice cream sundae in feeling that you could just plunge into and explore with taste, sight, and feeling. He obviously likes color and beautiful things!

Original Score of the film Lawrence of Arabia
As I sat in the darkened theater and heard the beautiful music, I was transported to a world half way across the globe, surrounded in the mystery of that life and time. The music was hypnotizing and unforgettable after all these years!

Do you still believe religion and territory spawn wars?
The Associated Press of Pakistan is clearly pointing out what we all know in our hearts. This is not a religious war. Claiming religion is the basis of terroism is an easy way to recruit people to commit suicide. It is also a good cover for criminal minds. You do not see leaders committing suicide. Nor do the brains behind the scene let you know who they are. Who ever is up front is chosen, to face the world, the real leaders are not obvious. (think about it)
The basic push behind the terorism we are facing now is money and power, fueled by precious commodities, anything that has a street value, and most especially drugs which is a commodity that trades in the Trillions, more than a big government can hope to amass.
We have to stop the drug trade in our country, in our world! Will wars stop it? Will bringing commerce to third world countries that are under corrupt governments help? The questions are difficult. We need Eliot Ness!
Maybe that gives you a clue as to where we need to look to end this terorism.

Yikes.....what , why , would he want 10? did he buy the lot and request that they never build another one?
Guess he has faith in product and not cash! He could buy gold! So can you, but why not buy a new house at a really good price with really great mortgage rates. At least you can live in it, until it appreciates, so when you sell it you make money and have lived there for next to nothing.
It has to happen again, it has been historically true, even in early England, when there was a 100 year recession. How is that for a long time of no jobs!
We need to create jobs that are open to everyone, hope we can get the opportunity to do it!

The Media the President and Controversy
Yesterday, the President allowed himself the pleasure (?) of being interviewed on The View. In the course of the interview, he stated that the media is only interested in controversy. No matter what your political views are, you have to agree with the President, the media is only interested in controversy.
When I was growing up the newspaper in our town, tried not to get involved in gossip, scandals etc.Thanks to a far sighted owner/editor, Mr Callahan, the newspaper was reputable. The newspaper
was there to bring local and international news to our town. The editorial page was for opinion. We also learned in school, that whatever we read, we had to remember that it might not be accurate and to search for the truth! What happened to that idea?
The paper was so hugh, that to read it, when I was 7, I had to put it on the floor and kneel over it on hands and knees. What fun it was to be the first one on the back porch to get the paper and read it before it became the property of Mom and Dad for the evening.
I learned of the 2nd World War activities. I learned there were enemy subs off our coast of New England, I followed the horrifying holocast discovery and news. Then I learned about the new General Motors plant in Framingham, a place where my uncle, and other relatives where able to find jobs. Jobs were coming to Framingham, at a new General Motors!
We did not try as a town to make it so difficult to build, that the plant said , "forget it!" Now, we make a new build so difficult that the town is throwing in every public expense it can get away with, plus fees that are irrational and unreasonable. Then the question from the unemployed is, "Where are the jobs?"
Just watch the various government bodies deliberate on T.V., on what they should do to add on, include and legislate, while forgetting that they are there to help the landowner use his land to the best use, with their guidance based on the present laws. Do the boards really forget that they are not there to legislate the business opportunity out of town, and depress the value of the land, or make it more expensive to build in the town.
Do they really forget that they are there to help the landowner develop his land within the present laws , zoning etc ? Somewhere I read that elected officials and appointees take an oath of office that states something similar to that.
Yes, in my young newspaper reading days, I learned of the struggles of businesses, and of what the town was doing to govern itself. I found my first home by reading the newspaper advertising. I had to move out of Framingham, to afford a new home. This meant that when my car broke down I had to walk about 12 miles to work on Route 9 in Framingham, all the way from Medway Mass., and even make the same walk home at night. Not much different than now, except that young people to afford a new home have to move to Uxbridge, and make a 25 minute ride back to Framingham.
Today, in a market that has very little sales activity due to the economy, and no spectacular pricing for struggling first time buyers, our company has been advertising new homes from $199,990. We are building and selling these homes in Uxbridge, and in the hi $200'000's in Bellingham. Yet, not one reporter has even considered this news. Not one reporter has obviously read their own advertising pages to look for stories, the stories sit right in the advertising. One newspaper told us once, that the paper could not look for stories in its advertising customers, because it was controversial! That is interesting!
Yes,controversy, the President is correct, the news is driven by controversy! Just look at the angst it creates with people plotting to destroy other people, because they disagree with their ideals, or whatever. Look at the controversy that has arisen once again from the swamp of the past, prejudice!
If this stuff keeps getting thrown at us to create controvery, and what is truly local news is not printed, what are we coming to as a nation? Maybe it is time to turn away from what we can recognize as controversial news, designed to incite angst, political fervor, etc., and focus more on what business is doing to save jobs, create jobs and fight a bad economy. Remember young people are reading the news in paper or on the web! News is everywhere today, how can we do a better job of reporting good news, and good struggles?

Importance of white button mushrooms in diet
Ars: Researchers Study Benefits of White Button Mushrooms
M2 Communications
07-29-10
Mushrooms are among the many foods thought to play an important role in keeping the immune system healthy. Now, Agricultural Research Service (ARS)-funded scientists have conducted an animal-model and cell-culture study showing that white button mushrooms enhanced the activity of critical cells in the body's immune system. In the United States, white button mushrooms represent 90 percent of the total mushrooms consumed.
The study was conducted at the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging (HNRCA) at Tufts University by center director Simin Meydani, colleague Dayong Wu, and others. The results suggest that white button mushrooms may promote immune function by increasing production of antiviral and other proteins that are released by cells while seeking to protect and repair tissue.
Wu and co-investigators are with the HNRCA Nutritional Immunology Laboratory in Boston, Mass. The study's cell-culture phase showed that white button mushrooms enhanced the maturity of immune system cells called "dendritic cells," from bone marrow. Dendritic cells can make T cells-important white blood cells that can recognize and eventually deactivate or destroy antigens on invading microbes.
When immune system cells are exposed to disease-causing pathogens, such as bacteria, the body begins to increase the number and function of immune system cells, according to Meydani. People need an adequate supply of nutrients to produce an adequate defense against the pathogen. The key is to prevent deficiencies that can compromise the immune system.
The study appears in a 2008 issue of The Journal of Nutrition.
Read more about this and other research related to improving health through nutrition in the July 2010 issue of Agricultural Research magazine, available online at: http://www.ars.usda.gov/is/AR/archive/jul10/immunity0710.htm

funnier than the last one!
Recently, the Chula Vista Police Department ran an e-mail forum (a question and answer exchange) with the topic being, "Community Policing"
One of the civilian email participants posed the following question:
"I would like to know how it is possible for police officers to continually harass people and get away with it"?
this question was answered by a police officer - Sgt. Bennett, who is obviously a cop with a sense of humor.
Sgt. Bennett replied:
"First of all, let me tell you this...it's not easy. In Chula Vista, we average one cop for every 600 people. Only about 60% of those cops are on general duty (or what you might refer to as "patrol") where we do most of our harassing.
The rest are in non-harassing departments that do not allow them contact with the day to day innocents. And at any given moment, only one-fifth of the 60% patrollers are on duty and available for harassing people while the rest are off duty. So roughly, one cop is responsible for harassing about 5,000 residents.
When you add in the commercial business, and tourist locations that attract people from areas other than Chula Vista, you then have a situation where a single cop may be responsible for harassing 10,000 or more people a day!
Now, your average ten-hour shift runs 36,000 seconds long. This gives a cop one second to harass one person, and then only three-fourths of a second to eat a donut AND then find a new person to harass. This is no easy task. To be honest, most cops are not up to this day in and day out challenge, it is just too tiring. So what we do is utilize some tools to help us narrow down those people which we can realistically harass.
The tools available to us are as follows:
PHONE: People will call us up and point out things that cause us to focus on a person for special harassment.
"My neighbor is beating his wife" is a code phrase used often. This means we'll come out and give somebody some special harassment. Another popular one is:
"There's a guy breaking into a house." The harassment team is then put into action.
CARS: We have special cops assigned to harass people who drive. They like to harass the drivers of fast cars - Drivers with no insurance or no driver's licenses. Its lots of fun when you pick them out of traffic for nothing more obvious than running a red light. Sometimes you get to really heap the harassment on when you find they have drugs in the car, they are drunk, or have an outstanding warrant on file.
RUNNERS: Some people take off running just at the sight of a police officer. Nothing is quite as satisfying as running after them like a beagle on the scent of a bunny. When you catch them you can harass them for hours.
STATUTES: When we don't have PHONES or CARS and have nothing better to do, there are actually books that give us ideas for reasons to harass folks. They are called "Statutes"; Criminal Codes, Motor Vehicle Codes, etc. They spell out all sorts of things for which you can use to harass people. After you read the statute, you can just drive around for awhile until you find someone violating one of these listed offenses and harass them. Just last week I saw a guy trying to steal a car. Well, there's this book we have that says that's not allowed. That means I have permission to harass this guy.
It is a really cool system that we have set up, and it works pretty well.
We seem to have a never-ending supply of folks to harass. And we get away with it. Why? Because for the good citizens who pay the tab, we try to keep the streets safe for them, and they pay us to "harass" some people.
Next time you are in Chula Vista, give me the old "single finger wave" !
That's another one of those codes. It means, "Hey Officer - You can harass me." It's one of our favorite codes.
Thanks for the question!

GOOD REAL ESTATE LAUGH OF THE DAY!
this has to say it all!
(AND DON'T WE NEED A LAUGH!)
Thank GOD for intelligent people.........
Part of rebuilding New Orleans caused residents often to be challenged
With the task of tracing home titles back potentially hundreds of years..
With a community rich with history stretching back over two centuries,
Houses have been passed along through generations of family,
Sometimes making it quite difficult to establish ownership.
Here's a great letter an attorney wrote to the FHA on behalf of a client:
You have to love this lawyer........
A New Orleans lawyer sought an FHA loan for a client.
He was told the loan would be granted if he could prove satisfactory title
to a parcel of property being offered as collateral.
The title to the property dated back to 1803,
which took the lawyer three months to track down.
After sending the information to the FHA, he received the following reply.
(Actual reply from FHA):
"Upon review of your letter adjoining your client's loan application,
we note that the request is supported by an Abstract of Title.
While we compliment the able manner in which you have prepared
and presented the application, we must point out that you have only cleared title to the proposed collateral property back to 1803.
Before final approval can be accorded, it will be necessary to clear the title back to its origin."
Annoyed, the lawyer responded as follows:
(Actual response):
"Your letter regarding title in Case No.189156 has been received.
I note that you wish to have title extended further than the 206 years
covered by the present application.
I was unaware that any educated person in this country,
particularly those working in the property area, would not know that Louisiana was purchased by the United States from France , in 1803 the year of origin identified in our application.
For the edification of uninformed FHA bureaucrats, the title to the land prior to U.S. ownership was obtained from France, which had acquired it by Right of Conquest from Spain.
The land came into the possession of Spain by Right of Discovery
made in the year 1492 by a sea captain named Christopher Columbus,
who had been granted the privilege of seeking a new route to India
by the Spanish monarch, Queen Isabella.
The good Queen Isabella, being a pious woman and almost as careful about titles as the FHA, took the precaution of securing the blessing of the Pope before she sold her jewels to finance Columbus's expedition...
Now the Pope, as I'm sure you may know, is the emissary of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and God, it is commonly accepted, created this world.
Therefore, I believe it is safe to presume that God also made that part of the world called Louisiana.
God, therefore, would be the owner of origin and His origins date back
to before the beginning of time, the world as we know it, and the FHA.
I hope you find God's original claim to be satisfactory.
Now, may we have our loan?"
*The loan was immediately approved.**

The Peacock War
We had a lovely group of peacocks, one female survived with two males. The one odd male was lonely and often came to watch me swim in the morning. He would caw and I would answer. He was there everyday looking at me.
It came to a point where he started to appear on the bedroom balcony outside the sliding door, nightly and caw. Howard was standing there when I answered him. "No, no", he said," that will keep him coming to the bedroom balcony," and it did, he continued to visit the bedroom balcony for a few nights.
One night Howard had enough! The cawing was loud and non stopping! He is licensed to carry a rife, which he got and went to the window to shoot in the air. When he pulled back the curtain, there was the peacock and a fox, with his mouth on the peacock's, leg trying to yank him down. The peacock pecked the fox in the eye and Howard shot the gun in the air....It was like the road runner cartoon, feathers flew and legs went fast, as they departed the scene.
The next day, my loving peacock was removed from the farm , banished forever!

New tax on your house, in the health care bill
This has been circulating on the web, I posted the link to where the information came from, just click on the blue title above
Subj: FW: New Real Estate Sales Tax
Under the new health care bill all real estate transactions will be subject to a 3.8% Sales Tax. The bulk of these new taxes don’t kick in until 2013 (presumably after Obama’s re-election). You can thank Nancy, Harry and Barack and your local Democrat Congressman for this one. If you sell your $400,000 home, there will be a $15,200 tax.

Walt Disney - Fantasia - Mickey The Sorcerer's Apprentice
With the new movie coming out on July 14th, you need to try and get this for the little ones. It is a great cartoon, with magical music, and the fun of it is the scene with the brooms and the water! When I taught school, I used the scene to get the little ones to be creative, to write and draw what they thought of when they saw the movie. It was fun for me too!

Sam Cooke, be sure to collect now, you could lose them in the future! Great gifts for parents who are old enough to remember him. Look at the prices on the collectible albums when you check out the oldies I post.

Exercise, drink tea to prevent dementia
Life Extension Magazine,
Improved living and diet habits -- including lots of physical activity, regular tea-drinking and sufficient vitamin D levels -- could reduce the risk of brain decline, according to three studies presented Sunday.
"These are encouraging," says William Thies, chief medical and scientific officer of the Alzheimer's Association. "These types of studies make people think, 'Well gosh, maybe I can do something about this disease.' "

Gold too expensive, what to buy?
Gold is too expensive, not worth the investment at this late stage,I think. What is worth buying , antiques, land and buildings, that are going for nearly 1/2 price, even new homes, are priced close to 1/2 of what they were.
If you are a buyer, consider a new home, versus an older home , foreclosure or not, because a home has an average of 20 year life. The roof, utilities, appliances, everything needs to be replaced sometime in that 20 year span, depending on how it was inspected and maintained by the last owners. A new home has the advantage of a longer life for you,before replacement, and usually a buyer is only in the home for 5-7 years, on average....
So, maybe a new home from us at $200,000, or $300.000 we can build any of the price ranges, on magnificent lots. Great choices now, close to major routes and transportation, Give us a chance to show you what you can afford. Remember the Pilgrims became rich with the purchase and grants of land. It is still possible, to make a homestead and turn it into cash, if you buy right, and buy now, before inflation comes back.
Nothing is guaranteeed, but at least a new home is usually most comfortable, and could possibly be your best bet in this downturn. Think about it, and if you find it worthwhile to consider a new home, give Fafard a call The choices of price, lots and plans are the biggest in the area. 508-881-6662

The liberal New York Times is making me nervous, they agree with the conservatives that this could be the worst depression ever, including the Great Depression of the 1930's. Hopefully that is not going to come to pass, but last night on tv, they said that our condition is worse than that of Greece! Wow! Something to worry about today. The little tramp examplifies the period of what we thought was the Great Depression, what will signify this depression?
