Yahoo has published a blog post with amazing treehouses and it's amazing. http://realestate.yahoo.com/promo/amazing-treehouse-homes.html The other day a friend asked, "What happened to your treehouse?" And I had to say I found out if we built a treehouse on our property and put in electricity and water and a bathroom the bank would consider it to be improved property and it would be hard for us to get a construction loan. That and we never had time to build anything, much less anything nice.
I am, however, a great lover of tree houses, and I love to look at them. These Yahoo's put together are some of the best, I'm convinced, in the world.

Foreclosures Now Take 20 Months | RISMedia
Remember North Carolina is a non-judicial state Foreclosures Now Take 20 Months RISMedia
While it does take longer to foreclose in NC than it used to, it's still not taking 20 months. Non-judicial foreclosures don't have to go through the court. Rather a Notice of Default can be recorded and a Notice of Sale mailed to the homeowner and an eviction notice posted. The property then proceeds to be sold on the courthouse steps, and the highest bidder becomes the new owner. Usually banks buy back their foreclosures, so they can sell them and recover their investments. This keeps the titles clear and gives others an opportunity to purchase the property. If the bank acquires the property they'll soon list it for sale with a real esate firm. These firms may be said to handle REO or Real Estate Owned properties. Different states have different procedures and different lenders manage things differently, too.
If you want to find out about foreclosures in your county, you can go to the courthouse to the local clerk of court's office and ask where the foreclosure notices are kept. These are public record.

Hey - You Called Me
6 Reasons The Guy Who's Fixing Your Computer Hates You Cracked.com I have become one of those people who comes over and fixes your computer for free, but I really try not to be. That's because when I log into your system and see a Windows update waiting to install and start to install it and you yell - "No, I don't want to update!" I want to pull out a hank of my hair. I should pull out a hank of your hair, or just go home. But, no, I try to explain. Updates are necessary to the operating health of your system and that NOT UPDATING will cause your machine to run slow because the "install updates" program is running continually. Not Updating is NOT AN OPTION. If you don't want to update and you don't want any changes to your system then let it run slow and deal with that. It's your choice. Don't tell me something's wrong with the machine, cause it's not the machine. The machine is fine.
It also really gripes me when I hear that you've told your other friend who is good with computers that I installed the 4 toolbars that are running in your browser. These are the free toolbars you got when you did the Express rather than the Advanced install on your free downloads. I swear, it wasn't me.
All this and more you'll find in the aforementioned article, 6 reasons....
Yes, Hackers got into your system and downloaded the toolbars - or - maybe it was that other friend, the other friend who is good with computers, yeah that's it, has to be.
If you're the friend who is good with computers, you'll love this. If not... not so much.
