maren Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Congratulations! All those fruit trees -- that's really beautiful! Best of luck! (and thanks to Jim Sangrey for the mortgage advice -- I'm saving that to my hard drive, with your kind permission) Quote
JSngry Posted March 2, 2004 Report Posted March 2, 2004 Save away! ...and did you know that in case of a discrepancy between the amounts in the courtesy box and the legal line of a check, a business is supposed to honor the amount on the legal line, no matter how great or in what direction the discrepancy? So, watch those hastily written checks! OTOH (and you didn't hear it from me, ok?) if you need to stretch the budget for a week or so, this information can be used to your advantage if an observant individual handles your check - put "500.00" in the box and "Five & 00/100" on the line, and the check is LEGALLY written for Five Dollars! If some sharpie catches the discrepancy and cashes the thing for a fin, you can always claim "OOOPS, my bad!", sweet talk your way out of a late fee, and get the money in when you really have it, as long as it's before the end of the month (which is when a typical loan technically goes into default if not brought current). Hey - it's a SYSTEM. There's a loophole for everything. Just don't overdo it, or else the jig's up. No guarantees though - attention to detail ain't what it used to be, which is really no surprise now, is it... Quote

Chuck Nessa Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Congrats, Dan. Welcome to the money pit. If you want hot water you will have to use the LEFT faucet. Quote
patricia Posted March 3, 2004 Report Posted March 3, 2004 Good for you, Dan. I LOVE the yard!!! Quote
Dan Gould Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 Up for some photos! Here's the music room. Check out the wall hangings, they came from one of the first Mosaic calendars: And here's yours truly in the leather Lazy Ass recliner in the music room. And the happy couple, smooching over their first very own mailbox: Quote
AfricaBrass Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 It looks like a great place, Dan, worth living on a budget. I'll be joining you soon (hopefully) in the new home owners/former jazz shoppers club. Quote
Matthew Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Congratulations Dan -- looks like a great home. Quote
wesbed Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Err... do you have an extra room? I'll bring my Mosaics! Quote
vibes Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Dan, About those framed album covers, where did you get the prints? I would love to have something like that for my apartment. Quote
Dan Gould Posted April 12, 2004 Author Report Posted April 12, 2004 Dan, About those framed album covers, where did you get the prints? I would love to have something like that for my apartment. Vibes, Those prints came out of the original Blue Note Cover Art book, the first, full-sized one, not the current miniature one. The binding broke apart, so I figured the best way to salvage it was to buy some do-it-yourself frames. Pretty easy and pretty cheap. Quote
vibes Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Thanks, Dan. I'm assuming that book is way out of print? Quote
PHILLYQ Posted April 12, 2004 Report Posted April 12, 2004 Belated congrats, Dan, you are now a 'homo'. Join the club! That's short for homeowner, you know... Quote
