Displaying 1,081 To 1,110 Of 7,446 Comments EXCLUSIVE: Mitt Romney’s Secret Gaffes About Latinos Uncovered I bet the donkey would also agree. » Posted By SueInCa On June 27, 2012 @ 10:48 am The right makes fun of Castro and Chavez all the time. Do you know who were the first two world leaders to get medical supplies to Haiti? Castro and Chavez through Sean Penn. Penn called them and supplies were on the way. It took a bit to clear them through authorities in Haiti but those two men were first up to the plate. I am not excusing anything else they might have done but it shows they do have a human side to them as well. » Posted By SueInCa On June 27, 2012 @ 10:45 am Yet no one asks the question when immigration comes up. We have to have the most ignorant media in the world. » Posted By SueInCa On June 27, 2012 @ 10:42 am If they were polygamous Latinos they would be ok » Posted By SueInCa On June 27, 2012 @ 10:39 am Tor tay oh la pour kay? bib leo taka mi nombre es Mitt y yo no sabes una mierda de su patrimonio My name is Mitt and I don’t know shit about your heritage » Posted By SueInCa On June 27, 2012 @ 10:38 am Kind of like Palin just loved those Johnny Choo shoes. I am sure Jimmy was not too pleased. » Posted By SueInCa On June 27, 2012 @ 10:10 am “Mitt Romney, a man who claims to support legal immigration, used Castro’s famous line – “Fatherland or death, we will prevail” – in a 2007 speech. Quoting Castro is probably not the best way for Mitt to get over with parts of Florida, however, what might be even worse is that Romney incorrectly attributed the quote to Hugo “Whatever, They All Look Alike” Chavez, saying, “Hugo Chavez has tried to steal an inspiring phrase – Patria o muerte, venceremos. It does not belong to him. It belongs to a free Cuba.” Considering many Latinos are disillusioned with how immigration has been handled under Obama’s watch, I can’t imagine that Romney – a man who can’t bother to learn the difference between Fidel Chavez or Hugo Castro – would be any more appealing.” http://www.tuvez.com/this-latin-life-romneys-gaffe/ » Posted By SueInCa On June 27, 2012 @ 10:09 am Weekend Music Thread – Summer in the City KT Same happened to me but I learned about tides and undertow and never turning your back on the ocean. I don’t go out as far as my husband and grandson would but they are far stronger swimmers than I. » Posted By SueInCa On June 25, 2012 @ 6:14 pm KT That summer we had him in our pool all the time and he not only learned how to swim he went nuts on water sports. We will probably take him back to Hawaii next year. » Posted By SueInCa On June 25, 2012 @ 9:16 am Waiamai beach North Shore – Oahu This beach is incredible summer winter fall or srping.

Everything was virtual at Enron. I wonder if they were using code to talk to the employees? Many people were rich on paper during those days. Still the people who stayed in their homes after the crash and are paying on an underwater mortgage are to be congratulated. They did the right thing but there were so many different scenarios that I cannot simply lump everyone into a deadbeat status. Some people like me did not take out equity and we did not get in over our heads but we lost equity right along with everyone else. In fact we got less when we sold our condo last year than either of the realtors who took their cut. That is bad but we did not stiff the bank. » Posted By SueInCa On June 22, 2012 @ 4:21 pm Adlib If they were actually holding auctions on these homes I would expect to follow the auction rules but to hold a silent auction(that is what they are doing) in the guise of the bank just “listing” the house for sale is disingenuous at best. And if they are using the market as a free auction shouldn’t they be advertising as such? Bids start at 72k? I think the board of realtors might have a problem with that but you just gave me a good idea. I agree it is treacherous but the thing is we would rather be buying straight from a seller even an approved short sale but most of the inventory in our area is “bank owned”. I told you about the home yesterday and I take full repsonsibility for passing it up but the right home at the right time, will be ours. I am sure of that. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 6:27 pm Adlib Or if a car salesman put the price on the car then put it up for bidding. The price is low but you know if the car is desirable people are going to out bid you. It can also cause problems in the appraisal process. We are getting a small loan so it might not affect us but if the appraisal does not meet the sales price the bank will not lend the money so people who are getting a loan for 97 or even 80% of the sales price will run into issues at appraisal time. We thought we were doing pretty good with a 100k+ cash down but we are little guppies in the fish bowl compared to investors. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 5:25 pm Kes Love the straw man explanation. This person has assumed an awful lot and I think it is mostly because he/she did not like the portrayal of the realtors and banks I have run into so far. I worked for banks for 20 years and I was a reputable banker but it would not serve my best interests to jump on everyone who puts down banks now and I have not. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 4:29 pm Coveark We moved out of state as well. We moved back in 2007 and bought a home at that time but we sold it to move back to the bay area. We decided to lease for awhile and take our time looking for another home. I can see why there are few seller homes on the market unless they are over 250k. Our new realtor is advising us as I would expect in this market but it is frustrating. One thing I have found is that I am putting out bids on homes I like but not that I love. Or at least I am telling myself that in the event we are out bid. As far as I know the banks are responsible for the taxes and some counties are also fining them for properties they let go. You have to feel for the people in the neighborhoods that did everything right and watched their value plummet. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 4:17 pm At this point after you basically calling me a liar it is not worth answering any more of your comments. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 4:11 pm Something does not ring true? Are you calling me a liar? YOU KNOW there is some family connection with my agent? No I have a family member in the background who can give me advice. I clearly stated she is no longer in the business and for your further info has not been for a year. I know you are defending your profession and I can see you doing that but do not put words in my mouth I did not write or speak. You seem to live in a different market than the bay area so your experience may well be different » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 4:08 pm http://money.cnn.com/2011/12/21/real_estate/foreclosure_sales/index.htm The numbers may be even worse than what I judged from the homes I review in the bay area. Did you also miss this in my posting? One out of 10 that come on the market are actual straight seller sales(and that is a generous guess). » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 3:51 pm So you are saying that pricing a home intentionally low in order to get people in the door is ethical? Especially when you have done many of these deals and you know the investors are out there waiting for more properties? You are saying that is ethical? Well I happen to disagree. And you claim I have sour grapes? I guess you missed the parts where I am going on to the next before I even hear on a multiple bid offer I placed. If you call wanting people to go by ethical business practices sour grapes then I guess you would not be the realtor for me either. I DID hire another agent so you assume way too much there as well. Sounds more like I might have hit a sensitive nerve with you and you automatically bit back. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 3:42 pm BFF No they do not go together and this one realtor here seems to be the main culprit. He intentionally low-balls the price to get people in because he knows if he put what he really wants people would not go look. Then in the heat of multiple offers people lose their heads and go high if they want the property that bad. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 2:07 pm Coveark I don;t think it is the state but rather ruthless lenders and real estate people. There is one in this area that I plan to take care of when this is all said and done. He seems to specialize in bank owned and is best known for his low-ball pricing to start bidding wars. When all is said and done, I plan to picket outside his RE office. » Posted By SueInCa On June 21, 2012 @ 2:04 pmComments Posted By SueInCa

My grandson is really into surfing. We were in Maui and got to talking to some locals on a beach there and they took him out on a board. Not real big waves but he got a taste for it and they let him surf with them for an hour or so. Now he wants to take lessons. We live near the ocean but not close enough to take him for regular lessons so I told him he will have to get lessons as we can get him to the shore. He likes water sports he skis, tubes, knee boards and rides on a jet ski. He loves it all. Not bad for a kid who when we went to Disneyland in 2008 would not go in the hotel pool because he could not swim and did not want to wear a ski vest.
