I have to agree, the use of the word "checkmate" comes across like you out witted an old man and are doing the Ickey Shuffle.

I find it slightly ironic that I chose red, white and blue to highlight the text of the FOMC release as I do not believe what I am witnessing in the financial markets is anything close to patriotic.

My 2nd point was to suggest that it's easy to accuse others of greed while not questioning one's own. 

., that dealt with all these rich people in Hollywood accused of homicide. 

You need a witness to the verbal arrangements being made and ask her to put here deal in writing as to what you will owe her and how and when it is due.

That must have been a horrific thing to witness as the guy burnt up inside 

Accusing someone of selfpromotiong AFTER you ask him to show proof is asking for trouble dude.Relax.

Shortly after, I suspected her adult son was living there also, although I had not witnessed this myself and was unable to prove it.

I don't mind helping out with the rehab in exchange for the opportunity to witness the process in motion; so if you're DIY this is a perfect opportunity to take advantage of a free set of hands.

That way there is no way to be biased or accused of being biased in screening.
