Participant[quote=IT.MOM]It is their job to try to create a better life for themselves and their children.
It is banker’s job to assess if they got the ability to pay back the loan.
They were doing their job.
Bankers were too greedy to do theirs.[/quote]
How is gathering debt in far greater amounts than their income could support creating a better life for their kids? It seems to me that living within one’s means is a much better way to create a better life for oneself and one’s children.Enough blame to go around here… Banks bear the loss on the loans they made. The family loses the house they never could afford. If the Daniels accepted their responsibility, it would be one thing… but with Lisa out complaining that she’s entitled to handouts from Obama… I don’t see it.

January 6, 2010 at 7:22 PM in reply to: More land, lowering costs, where would you move here in the West? #499679ParticipantI lived in Bellingham, WA for 3 years in the early 90’s… I loved it. But it does rain a lot. During the summer you can choose between going swimming from a beach into the puget sound, or from a beach into a lake (Whatcom or Padden in the b’ham area.) Lots of boating… University in town. Vancouver BC was close for night life, Seattle was also semi close – about 90 minutes away. My best friend still lives there so I still get back there a lot. Surprisingly, there’s a decent number of tech/programming type jobs – a lot more than when I lived there and there was only 1 engineering company in the whole city.
I have friends who live in/around Portland. It’s definitely hip/urban. You can get a LOT of house for small $$.
I’d give big thumbs up to the pacific northwest.
I spent a lot of time in Denver/Fort Collins (back and forth between them) 2 years ago… My brother was going through chemo, then surgeries, then finally hospice. It was Fall/Winter. The mountains are beautiful but the weather is entirely too unpredictable… 80 degrees in the moring – snow storm that night – literally.

[quote=scaredycat]a pizza stone will help. I use my pizza stone a lot–i put lots of things on it. i cooked french fries and eggs for dinner last night, i put the frozen frenchfries on the stone; not sure it makes a difference, but since i have the stone, i want to use it. i think i may have a low quality pizza stone though. it was very inexpensive. maybe try a better stone, or rent it instead of buying it.[/quote]
Are you getting your stone super hot before using it – that’s the key. We do homemade pizza a lot and the key is to preheat the stone HOT, then put the pizza directly on the stone (not in a pan). (Corn meal helps for sliding the pizza on/off the stone – and you need a pizza paddle.)
It’s all about thermal mass. If you don’t preheat the stone super hot then it actually can draw heat OUT of the cooking item. It should be hotter than the oven temp.
I have a friend who’s got a pizza oven in the backyard – wood fired… He starts getting it hot more than an hour before he wants to cook in it. But he produces FABULOUS crispy, thin crust pizza – like you’d find in Naples. He’s a professional chef so he’s worked hard to perfect his system at home.
