Nothing ruined a "date night" more than the call from an irate customer saying "the da**ed dryer ate my socks, come retrieve them!"

RECENT NEW YORK TIMES ARTICLE: If Lenders Say ‘The Dog Ate Your Mortgage’ By GRETCHEN MORGENSON [COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL REMOVED] So as you can see, people are waking up to the fraud that the banks have been doing to the american people.

This is on the north eastern side of Denver, near DIA.

Whenever a tenant calls me s/he hears the message:"Press 1 if you can't pay rent because a close relative died.Press 2 if the dog ate your rent.

I agree with Emilio to a tee.

We "ate our kitchen pantry".

They all rented.I pointed out that they ate out 2 nights a week, they bought lunches every day, their wives had lots of expensive clothes and had their hair and nails professionally done, they went out drinking in bars, and they owned at least two nice new cars.They never did get it.

Last update I have from the group handling the entitlement process for an 18-unit apartment development we're planning to sell to an end-builder, is the following (keep in mind we initially submitted all the docs in May): - Items are getting lost (city's dog ate their homework).

They did, in fact, underestimate one job and ate the costs instead of trying to pass it to me.I agree with @Matthew Paul about good contractors not being cheap and cheap contractor not being good. 

The Association Fees ate up my margin so just be careful the numbers work.
