You are welcome to talk to the neighbors, the grocer, the local mailman, the 2 kids running the lemonade stand, the guys repairing the roads, the stoned high school kids 5 doors down, the pilot who flies a plane over on the daily flight to Salt Lake city or even the president of the local avian viewers club.

I’m not going to tell you that I laze around all day by one of my three pools while I sip lemonade from a gold-plated cup.

This is the same as taking diet advice from someone 200 pounds overweight, it just doesn't make sense.It can be uncomfortable for people to see you succeed because it forces them to deal with their own inadequacies and failures.

You know, when I'm on a diet and keep getting junk mail coupons from Dominos pizza, I feel harassed as well... :-)Seriously though, I would consult an attorney, and verify what we all suspect (that you aren't breaking any laws unless you keep mailing after a homeowner requests that you stop).

Home economics, cooking, balanced diets, special diets, cleaning techniques, how to care for a home, how to make simple repairs generally performed by homeowners usually must be taught.

With the advice I received I decided to penny pitch, go on a diet (saves on food) and basically buckle down on my spending so that I would be able to purchase all cash at the end of 2012 or beginning of 2013.
