July 25, 2020 at 1:29 PM in reply to: Any clever workarounds to get new mortgage pricing on a cashout refi #818960ParticipantIm quoted 1 perc.
Where can i refi 160 k at .125 more?
Ive shopped at least 5 lenders.
My energy levels lower today.
Feel more like just paying it off.
But maybe ill perk up
July 25, 2020 at 12:46 PM in reply to: Any clever workarounds to get new mortgage pricing on a cashout refi #818956ParticipantBecause i owe too little. I cant find anyone to refi just 160k at the best rate. Its all 1 point or more because its below a 300k min cutoff.
Not worth their time i guess.
Lesson learned.
Some days just a full payoff seems nice.
Id just prefer to have a cheaper house paid off than be in an expensive one paid off. Not diversified enough.
Maybe i should sell and relocate just for the nice new mortgage.
Downsize the house, the interest rate, invest the difference.
It all makes sense. Except my wife and i dont feel like moving.
ParticipantIts difficult to maintain faith
ParticipantBad sign.
Feeling greedy.
Selling at 2100 seems way too early.
Whenever i feel confident its a bad sign.
Im thinking a parabolic move up to 3 to 5k, by 12/25/20, and a 30 % crash sometime afterwards.
No reason other than it feels hot, theres a lot of money sloshing around, people have phones with trading apps, andvits bern down so long
Participanti would be stoked to live in a town where regular people were standing up to federal turds. plus it’s so bikey. theyd probably find me to be an arch conservative. to many years in riverside county
Participantbachs mass in b minor is decent christian music. but yeah, christian rock is proof that G-d does not exist. ingeneral any music played live in a random church s u c k s….. if He existed, he would make it stop. or improve it. anything but let it continue. when i used to go to mass, the music made me want to cry with sadness, please, please let it stop
Silence would be much preferable for imbuing a spiritual presence.
Participantok, i agree, based on the video he’s kind of adorable. video improves the song. as a musical should d o.
Participant[quote=svelte][quote=scaredyclassic]the music in a musical should involve a flight of spirit so extreme that words cannot contain the feeling.[/quote]
I agree with that.
Also, there are some church choir songs that are inspiring in the same sort of way. I don’t enjoy it often, but when done right – and I think predominately black churches do it better than predominately white churches – it is very uplifting.
It is coming back to me. The last anniversary play we saw was a Shakespeare play in the Old Globe [edit: actually Lowell Davies theater outside]. I had procrastinated to the last minute and by some fluke 2 front row seats came available. We had the best seats ever. The weather was perfect, the night was clear, and we sat there barely understanding a single word of the English language. It was frustrating. It was a comedy and some people laughed, but we weren’t getting the jokes for the most part. Way too much energy just to follow the dialog – I didn’t have the bandwidth left to piece together and enjoy the story.
After that, she said that’s it. I quit.
Which reminds me of a great BB King song…If That Ain’t It I Quit[/quote]
theres a piece by charles mingus called wednesday Night prayer meeting, which is a raucous bluesy jazz simulation of a prayer meeting that is spiritual, powerful, funny, and entertaining, and takes music to soaring heights by transforming what recognizeable human like voices into pure sound and rhythm . it has some of the qaulities id expect in a superior musical, but substitutes instruments for human voices
Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Well looks like my clients will have to wait a bit longer to move. They had their Portland condo in escrow with a 14 day close to an all cash buyer in an as-is sale (it was immaculate). Two days before closing the buyers decided they had enough of watching 14 straight days of protests, rioting, looting and fires being set in the streets in Downtown Portland and cancelled escrow using the one contingency they had to do so. What a mess. They were excited to get back here and will have to wait a little longer.
can i buy a place in portland at a discount nowadays? I love portland and I doubt these protests are anything that lower values. if anything, they sound minimal, principled an d not dangerous. are these sellers ready to let go at a riot-sale price?
Participantthe music in a musical should involve a flight of spirit so extreme that words cannot contain the feeling.
Now, as for great musicals, THE BOOK OF MORMON by the south park fellows is pretty perfect.
ParticipantPart, but not all, of my distaste is that lately ive bern feeling that history here wouldve been better without the american revolution. That it was just all a giant mistake, that we couldve evolved into something better, like canada.

“The Revolution remains the last bulwark of national myth. Academics write on the growth of the Founding Father biographical genre in our time; the rule for any new writer should be that if you want a Pulitzer and a best-seller you must find a Founding Father and fetishize him. While no longer reverential, these accounts are always heroic in the core sense of showing us men, and now, occasionally, women, who transcend their flaws with spirit (though these flaws may include little things like holding other human beings as property, dividing their families, and selling off their children). The phenomenon of “Hamilton,” the hip-hop musical that is, contrary to one’s expectations, wholly faithful to a heroic view of American independence, reinforces the sanctity of the American Revolution in American life.
Academic histories of the Revolution, though, have been peeping over the parapets, joining scholarly scruples to contemporary polemic. One new take insists that we misunderstand the Revolution if we make what was an intramural and fratricidal battle of ideas in the English-speaking Empire look like a modern colonial rebellion. Another insists that the Revolution was a piece of great-power politics, fought in unimaginably brutal terms, and no more connected to ideas or principles than any other piece of great-power politics: America was essentially a Third World country that became the battlefield for two First World powers. Stirred into the larger pot of recent revisionism, these arguments leave us with a big question: was it really worth it, and are we better off for its having happened? In plain American, is Donald Trump a bug or a feature of the American heritage?”
Participant“It just sounded like when they sent people to rap multiplication to me when I was an inner-city youth, ’cause they’re like, that’s the way we’re going to get through to them,” he said.
ParticipantI reminds mbe of a bad movie adaptation of a musical from my childhood, 1776.
https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/1776-1972
Which humanized the mythical founders with bad song.
Funny that we stkll find it shocking, to think of founding fathers as regular dudes, whether dweebs as in 1776 or bad rappers, as in hamilton
