However, the fact that you're planning to use an FHA loan tells the  seller that the purchase may be a stretch for you - and it may be not exactly a lock that you'll get approved.

By late 1985, oil remained a respectable $29 a barrel but nosedived to $9 a barrel in about three months, a stretch of time that has since been dubbed ''The 90 Days That Shook Texas.''

Its because guys use a pick stretcher or kick it in instead of using tubes when stretching.

Especially in the first 6 months.I stretch out some of the other mailing frequencies - like every 6 weeks for owner occupants and every 8 weeks for probates.

All my faxes are electronic these days and come in my e-mail.If your stuff is old and breaking down like that it might be time to upgrade to new technology.As far as turning agents in the licensing commissions do not care about Ethics.If a broker or agent is licensed but not a REALTOR then you don't have a leg to stand on for an Ethics complaint.Sure you can go to the broker and they might release the agent but that agent can simply sign up at another brokerage again with nothing on their record.If you do have a license law broken the real estate commission will make you get sign and notarized under oath the facts you are stating.Only then will they assign an investigator to the case.Their department is stretched thin with limited resources just like everyone else these days.They get a bunch of calls from frustrated buyers and sellers complaining about everything under the sun.Their answer is always "file a report". 90% of them do nothing and hang up.Don't get worked up over the "multiple offer" situation.Whether you like it or not you will run into it again whether there actually is one or not.It's the cost of doing business.

Yeah Krav is really fun.With the weights I do not train to get big.I train now for power and speed for all of my martial arts techniques.Many of the people doing weights will not stretch and then be bulky but have no flexibility,no endurance as they do limited cardio,and the muscle group movements are slow and sluggish.There are a few exceptions of course.Each time they do heavy weights you have to really stretch out the muscle to keep it pliable.The muscle fibers tear down each time and rebuild thicker.You have to stretch to keep the flexibility with adding the mass.I haven't gotten as serious into my training lately as I want to.I am going to buy one of the weight vest soon.I like the quality of www.weigthvest.comI will get the 150 pound version but will start out small at 10 pounds and work up.It's just like when we break boards.If you try to break 5 or 6 at once you break your hand if you haven't done it yet.The reason is you do not have proper technique down yet and your bone structure isn't ready for the force yet.You start off small with one board and then slowly over time your bones will get denser to adjust to the load and you increase the board count.
