Until the next cool sounding fad emerges this will continue.

On one hand I worry that I won't be able to compete soon without one but I also worry they are a bit of a fad. 

My Jets seemed to have gone on a diet this season with all of the talent they let go but substituted and kept some quality players and I think it'll be to their benefit.

I wonder if they are a fad or the future. 

Sheila seems to have established a two-per-week low-cal diet these days.Bank Closing Information - April 17, 2009These links contain useful information for the customers and vendors of these closed banks.Great Basin Bank of Nevada, Elko, NV (270MM, Buyer - Nevada State Bank under a loss-sharing agreement on losses)American Sterling Bank, Sugar Creek, MO ($170MM, Buyer - Metcalf Bank MO, another loss-sharing agreement on losses)http://www.fdic.gov/ I believe Sheila's purse is still brimming with cash, only the expense to manage the transfer in these two (plus those losses not disclosed).

It's a fad or something to "get into" for most people.

Trying to blend the two together is fraught with so much danger, even for experienced business people and professional real estate investors.Having a dream to help those that appear less fortunate is admirable and one that I hope you can realise in the future, assuming this is your real passion and not just a fad.

Substitute dieting, gym, etc. if you don't belive me, get the BP people to survey members and see what percentage of posters here have even done a single deal!

When you see an elderly woman with SEVERE health issues that could be eased with proper care (that requires finances), like better diet, not the free once a month package of puddings, canned tuna, cheap bread she was getting, proper medicines for her breast cancer, diabetes and heart failure, and proper amenities - like a walk in shower so she can wash and not be covered head to toe in yeast sores from inaccessibility - You get creative on solutions to help that won’t financially harm your own family.We hired lawyers, arranged for multiple meetings with her church and scheduled realtors and witnesses all to make sure she was fully educated and that everything was legal.I appreciate your concern for a member of the elderly community, truly, but attack messages like these are what happens when you can’t possibly know the full story, including the fact that Miss Kat calls multiple times a week, that she is extremely relieved her home is no longer in danger of catching fire, flooding from damage from Ian everytime it rains and that the city isn’t assigning a social worker because now her doors lock and her home has been cleared of obstacles, trash and hazards.And yes, we’ll benefit in the long run and we’ve run our numbers based on the fact we can carry her for 15years.
