we've got tickets to go to Oprah tomorrow, and I'm gonna wear the pants she's advertising....I'm gonna wear the blouse and bra that she advertises...yeap, thanx to Oprah, I'm my own woman".

My mother was a Christian woman and believed in helping people in need.

And as a woman, it's even harder.

I'm just getting started on living again like the adult woman I was 22 years ago.

When a woman owns a business, who is it who isn't allowing her to move upward?

Jury gives woman $1.25M in lawsuit over mortgage Whole story here -- http://www.bizjournals.com/baltimore/stories/2008/08/11/story8.html?

If this woman hasn't been nominated for IDIOT OF THE YEAR, I'd like to nominate her now!

I feel also like it is a smarter time to buy a house than rent.My question is, is there a good way to tell this woman/landlord that I would be interested in buying this house?

Here is the exact scenario:The property was previously owned by my wife, titled to: Her Name, a married woman, as her sole and seperate property.She owed $275,000 on an interest only loan with a quickly approaching balloon payment for the full balance.After numerous attempt to modify to a 30-year fixed and being denied because of the amount owed she had no choice but to let it go and now lives in my home, which I own, as a married man as my sole and seperate property.A year later, the bank was has been unable to sell the home in a area flooded with REO's and it is now listed on the open market for $60,000.Given my prior knowledge of the properties history and condition, I would like to purchase it as my sole and seperate property and turn it into a rental.I just want to make sure I am not doing anything illegal or anything that would jeopordize my wife, my property or myself.

Granted, I'm on the high end as far as rent and amenities in the area...ie-stainless steel appliances, hardwood floors, granite countertops.First, it was the tub reglaze paint was chipped and she felt it was a health hazard and would get in her "woman parts."
