Hmm. Are you self-employed? They can get tough about that. Were you required to document income etc? I closed my home refi deal last night. I borrowed 665k on a 30-year fixed at 5.375% from my credit union. My credit rating was 785 (Experian). My loan to value was about 82%. Even though the...

BURN BABY BURN! Where will the Enron trading crew wind up next? New York or back to Houston? Jeez, one day its catered lunch on 33 with the global equities boys and then the next day its Wilbur's Barbeque on a paper plate in Houston. What a bitch. If there is any justice in the...

lol its C-Kid. Very high probability. :D

He paid 65 million for that last painting, a Cézanne I believe. I wonder what it is worth today? :D

You are making pretty good money. At your level its a good idea to get have your taxes done by a CPA. Most good CPAs have access to a tax attorney who they will consult when necessary. For my circumstances the firm is usually able to find enough savings to pay their own fee. A good firm...

Top tier engineering schools accept *no* transfer credit. None. They won't even let you register for more than 21 units a semester. It cannot be done in 2.5 calender years if you need, say 140 units to graduate. You would never be able to get all the courses required by the catalogue as...

Bullshit. No top tier engineering school can be completed in 2.5 years. Pure bullshit. Any decent program is 5-years which might be completed in 4-years if you are superhuman. You don't have an EE. I rather doubt your whole story.

As a californian I really hope a meteor or comet comes out of nowhere and lands on Houston Texas. If a piece broke off and hit Chicago that would be a nice bonus.

400?

Lemme get this straight... 400 pounds? No kidding? No, that has to be made up. Its just too poetic to be true. Really, a guy who can't see his own dick probably shouldn't try to demean others. I guess that the visual anonymity of internet forums offers some chance to be taken...

The bad guys were from an assortment of different countries, some of them our allies. But they were trained, financed and led from Taliban Afghanistan. By every historic measure Pakistan, Iran and Egypt should have shared some of the pain after 9/11 but cooler heads prevailed. The USA can...

Funny how folks forget that terrorists from a rogue nation killed 3000 innocent men, women and children in lower Manhattan. Anyone who is vaguely familiar with U.S. history will appreciate that if you attack the USA your country and likely some of your neighbors are going to take a beat down...

Ding! We have a winner. EM is the best way. I have this huge solenoid around here somewhere. I'm kinda partial to running the platter through the mulcher/chipper.

I doubt they are a bagholder, with all of those Houston energy traders on staff and all. :D

I doubt he is dumber than Kerry. Thats a tough act to follow.

Yes, India and Brazil will battle for world domination lol. :D

Hmm, is this true?

What, like hyper-inflation?

Yeah, I feel like a real dolt for putting down 20% and getting a 30-year fixed that I can afford. This is George Bush's fault. I remember a few years ago how he was pushing home ownership. He must have known what was going on with the lenders. I have zero simpathy for those living beyond...

I worked with 200 russians launching rockets carrying commercial satellites from a platform in the central pacific ocean. These highly educated "rocket scientists" were massively alcoholic. I encountered them drunk during critical launch operations several times. The bar on the command ship...
