While the rest of the country suffers in record heat, we in Maine are about to suffer our seventh rainy weekend in a row, and our temps have been under fifty for about as long.

I suppose New York is not really part of the United States. Here we had better weather in December.

As I took off my watch last night, I thought to myself that I should put it where I usually do or I wouldn't be able to find it. Nevertheless, I left it where it was. Now, where was that?

It will turn up while you're looking for something else.

That is truely terrible...the necklace more than anything, though the stolen BC in our post 911 world is going to be a real PITA to replace..also notify credit agencies to be prepared for identity theft.

[peppyre]

the on.lyy upsiode i s that i am in canada and wirth a police report it';s not that difficult to replace a birth certificate. my stepdad just went through this lasst month. as my mom said, you were just saying you needed to get a new laminated BC. i said this as we were going across the border the other day. (i am typing with 1 hand, please bear with me) my 81 y/o grandma lives in the sxtates and i won't be able to see her until i get my id sorted out, which is going to take at least a month. i'm pissed, this wwas out of my office i keep hoping that hospital security will find my wallet in the garbagbe abandoned because there was no cash in it.

Still wrestling with refinancing questions (as earlier in the thread, around page 3712). Anyone think I would be crazy to take out an option ARM, which permits incredibly small monthly repayments, but can add small amounts to the principal loan?

YES
Interest rates going up more.
Next recession (betting on late 2006) will cause sag on housing prices.

PS and fair warning - I am NOT an economist

Remember that a few years ago mortgage interest rates were pushing 10%. I know nothing of economics and what the likelihood of interest rates rising is, but current rates are pretty low.

Not clear why this is a reason not to do it.
