Which brings up a question: can they even do that? That is, refuse to accept regular payments and then try to foreclose?

My husband is has been a bankruptcy attorney for 14 years. I asked him the same question about whether the mortgage company can refuse to take payments and then try to foreclose. He said that if you fall behind in your mortgage payments, the mortgage company can, unfortunately, screw with you in all sorts of ways, which is why you should never fall behind in your mortgage payments.

Adverse possession has been on the books forever. It's one of the first things law students learn in law school, according to my husband. It only applies to property, however, and the use of that property must have been for more than 21 years. So, for 50 years, the Yeager family took care of a wall on the neighbors' property but the neighbors said nothing. If before 21 years had passed the neighbors had written a letter to the Yeagers stating that they were allowing the Yeagers to use and take care of the wall that was on their property, then all this could have been avoided.

My two year old daughter doesn’t have DS but she does have hypotonia, a neuromuscular disorder that’s common in DS children. She can’t walk. She can’t even crawl. She’s in PT three times a week, but things are moving very slowly. She also can’t talk, except for “this” “that” “mama” “dada”. The sound she makes for almost everything is “da.” She also may have a metabolic disorder, which we’re investigating now. I, too, had dreams of what life would be like with my little girl. Those dreams may still be realized some day, but if they are not, that would not change how I feel about my little girl: I would not give her up for all the money in the world. She is such a sweet and affectionate soul, and God chose my husband and me to be her parents for a reason. For that I’m so grateful. I feel sorry for the mothers and fathers who aborted their DS babies because they were too ignorant to understand the precious gift God was trying to bestow on them.

I posted this article on my blog. The link to Mr. Schoenfeld's article is there.

FYI, Murray (D) voted no.

It's yes = 55 no = 32

You beat me to the "big butt" caption! : )

Does this suit make my butt look too big?

Good luck and congratulations! Praying for a safe and fast delivery.

Say a prayer that the Visas get through in time. I have a six month old (healthy, thank God), so a story like this really pulls at my heart strings.

Thanks for your service to our country, Jen. My family and I appreciate it more than I can express.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. May you and your buddies make it home safely.

I agree with you that Scientology is a cult. However, you will have to choose a different piece of evidence to further your point here -- that Scientologists believe that humans are descended from a race of aliens is a much better option, one that most can sign onto as being freaky. Additionally, a lot of people follow others around to extreme; they're usually stalkers, not Scientologists. Katie choosing to be a stay at home mom is a completely normal decision that millions of women all over this country make every day. In fact, I would argue that Katie's decision to stay home is a sign that she may still be with us in the normal world. Now, if she decides to use the Scientology childbirth method then I would have to concede that she may be too far gone.

So only stay at home moms who are Scientologists, which, by the way, we don't even know Katie is at this point, are brainwashed, whereas all other "non-scientologist" stay at home moms are engaging in an act of free will? That sounds a little kooky, don't you think?

I would suspect she's choosing to be a stay at home mom because her mom made the same decision when Katie and her siblings were little. Just because a woman gives up a lucrative job to stay home and raise her kids doesn't mean she's brainwashed. Anyone can make money. Not anyone can love and raise your children the way you can.

It was a a number of years ago. The only thing I remember was that Rush was really sick and Matthews subbed for him. The next day, Rush was back at the golden EIB microphone, sounding terrible, because he was not going to allow a liberal to take over his show. It was pretty funny.

Ditto.

Hurray for Honda! I drove a 1986 Honda Civic Si while in college. Great car. It even started up after sitting outside in -20 degree weather. I will buy more in the future.

I'm glad to see he is sending the Bush/Clinton team. They did a superb job raising money for the tsunami victims. The more private money/assets we can raise, perhaps the less government money/assets are needed.

I'm in Toledo, OH, and I saw 2.69/gal earlier today.

I just sent a letter to the journal via its website. I was so pissed as I wrote my letter. Anyone else interested in giving JAMA a piece of your mind, the website is www.jama.com.

Abortion is evil, and I get so angry when I think about how many innocent babies are killed by their own mothers...their own mommies!

I'm especially sensitive since I have an eleven week old. Whenever she gives me her big smile, I feel so blessed. How could any mother kill her own baby?
It is so disgusting...

I will be shopping at Target more often.
