ParticipantTreehugger—your friend may end up paying if he short sells or forecloses. By losing his job. I work for fed government and they have started some background check on existing contractors. Numerous people have been let go due to having short sales and foreclosures. My supervisor says that government employees are next for these reviews.

These were the ones who, by 1975, were signing up for singles disco dancing lessons so that they could finally get married, buy a big oversized house in the suburbs, and have a reason to post one of those obnoxious “Baby On Board” signs on the back windows of their Volvo station wagons.
[/quote]Concur with entire post. However, I REALLY hate those Baby on Board signs. They just reek obnoxiousness. A little less offensive are the “my child is so special at blah blah school.”
Participant[quote=bearishgurl]Yes, brian, that IS good news. I wonder if this means an eventual shrinkage of active-duty military members (in all branches of service).
For all the returning able-bodied service-members who have either been discharged or will be soon and possibly not re-enlist (or not be able to), they are coming home to a “jobless recovery” after receiving a plethora of monetary and practical benefits for their families for years, which most will no longer be eligible for.
I have no doubt many of them will enroll in college with military assistance (further exacerbating CA’s hugely impacted public university programs). That’s what happened when troops en masse were sent home from Vietnam.
Their families’ lack of a steady income (due to discharge and inability to reenlist) could impact the dwindling coffers of state public assistance programs.
It’s all good, though. They SHOULD be sent home. I’m just afraid most of their young families “grew” during wartime relative to their growing salaries and benefits.[/quote]
This is absolutely true. For the past 2 years the Navy has been doing something called PTS. (can’t remember what it stands for) Anyway, what they are doing is downsizing and a lot of sailors are getting the boot–even active duty with 10 years in! Most of them are using unemployment and their GI bill to go to college. The GI bill pays big, even covers living expenses if they aren’t excessive. I am happy we are getting out of there, but I won’t believe it till I see it.

Yeah, well, Freud was pretty good. But he was no temeculaguy.[/quote]
Hilarious!
ParticipantLove it TG!
And, Brian, as usual, your low self esteem is blatantly obvious.

Bubblesitter, the work of your (expensive) Seattle architect got me looking again last night into some of my “choice” retirement havens and I found a listing featured in Sunset Mag nearly 40 years ago that is “totally me.”
http://www.realtor.com/realestateandhomes-detail/689-Edgewood-Ave_Mill-Valley_CA_94941_1121893557
Ironically, over 32 years ago, I stayed in the loft of 3-story cedar home very close to this property for a few days. I’ve only visited Muir Woods/Beach and Stinson Beach once since then. Not only do these beaches bring back many memories of childhood day trips for me, the beauty and ambiance of this spectacular coastline (all the way to Eureka, but ESP. HERE), is unmatched in this state, IMO. Mendocino Coast comes in a close second, Monterrey/Pebble Beach third, the OC 4th and LJ Shores 5th. I can feel the cool breeze just gazing at the photos of the listing shown below. Love the WHOLE area!
Here’s an (expensive) property of mid-century design with an unmatched view further up the coast in Mendocino County. Enjoy!
Guess these two properties don’t qualify as “mtn cabins” but IMHO, they’re even better, what with the “woods and beach” all in the same place . . . . lol![/quote]
Wow, Mendocino prices are out of sight. My father lived there in a cabin house with wood burning stove for heat back in the late 80’s. He loved it….it was boring for me in my 20’s, but such a beautiful place. The headlands are amazing. Did you ever sit on the Philosophers Bench?
