Quaff is the new word of the day.

Well if you read this I bet ya you’re wondering where in the world I found this one. Well to tell you the truth it was in my Webster’s ®. Now I’ve done this and some people who comment on my blogs I know have done this. Of course the question I have for you is not if you’ve done this because I know you have the question is how often? So the meaning of (kwaf) is to drink deeply in a hearty or thirsty way. Now what say you?

I like this list of TEN COMMANDMENTS for potential home buyers provided by Active Rain Friend Donna Schoby whom we know as a Home Stager. Donna is now a lender here in northwest Arkansas with Liberty Bank. If you need a good lender you may reach Donna at dschoby@mylibertybank.com

Thou shalt not quit your job.

Thou shalt not change employers.

Thou shalt not incur new debt such as purchasing a new vehicle.

Thou shalt not charge up your credit card balances.

Thou shalt not make a large deposit or withdrawal from your bank account.

Thou shalt not change your mind after you lock a rate.

Thou shalt not co-sign for someone else's loan.

Thou shalt not spend your down payment money.

Thou shalt not schedule a vacation prior to closing.

Thou shalt not file for a divorce prior to closing.

If you follow these simple rules, your loan process will be a smooth one!

The Easter Bunny

I’m sure you have all heard of the famous Easter Bunny commercial. Well I have an entry and she wants to be the best entry to date. I personally don’t know where to send the photo to so they can judge her. Sooooo I’ll ask you do you think she is wasting her time or do you think she has a chance?

Suppose

For all you math wizards see if you can guess this one out before you read the answer.

Just suppose I’m a grandfather (which I am) and I have a grandson who’s about as many days old as my son is weeks old and my grandson is as many months old as I am in years. My son, grandson and I together are 140 years old. How old am I in years?

Scroll down for the answer

Got the answer yet?

Just a little more.

The answer is I’m 84 years old. Did you get it right?

Pawn is the new word of the day.

Now, now I know what first came into your mind but I assure you it’s not what you think. We all know pawn shop where you take in an item and either sell it or give it to the broker for some funds. Then there is the pawn used in a game called chess but in both cases you would be wrong. The meaning of pawn (pon) I have chosen is a person used to advance another’s purposes. I like being used as a pawn for my clients. I help them advance through the maze of buying or selling property. So now what say you?
