Wait, so is this a for real Fox News clip he managed to infiltrate, or just a Tim Robinson sketch because either one is equally as likely.

Isn’t that clip from a year ago, or did he just happen to show up on Fox News again?

It's a real Fox News clip as he lives in Detroit and this was when they shut down in April 2020, but I hadn't seen it before now and it's now timely

They wasted Luanne on Lucky!

She could of have been so much more but the writers just didn't care!
Lending is complicated because there are a metric poo poo ton of industry rules and regulations that are enforced by various agencies and organizations and these rules and interpretations of them often change. On top of this the mortgage industry - like real estate - attracts people jumping into a new career hoping to make a quick buck without having much experience.

Even if you use the same bank as someone else, the requirements you might have to jump through to close a mortgage can very greatly based on the terms of your loan and the type of property and it's condition. If you're buying a $300,000 five year old suburban home with 25% down you are going to be on cruise control compared to someone putting 5% down on an 80 year old converted farmhouse in a depressed rural area.

My buddies are now cuddling in the top part of the cat tree instead of fighting eachother for it. Yay! It's given me a bit of a smile in a tough time. My grey lady is a bit skittish but very, very cuddly when she's comfortable and it's been really nice the last week or so. Between work getting absolutely insane and my grandma's passing, they've been a nice joy.

Katya got neutered on Friday. He had a cone that he managed to pull off 4 times in 24 hours so the vet gave the go head to put him in a much, much easier and less stressful to get back on soft recovery collar.

[Thanks for the feedback on shopping for mortgages everyone. I appreciate your input. It's weird because buying a home is such a large purchase but because of that it's also unnerving because you aren't familiar with the processes or know what to look out for.



Just to be clear; a mortgage broker is different than a home loan officer, right?

Because I've been shopping across home loan officers based at different banks.

I kinda wish I had an electric mower every time I have to deal with my gas powered one. Yes I remembered later that I'm not supposed to tilt you that way on that pain in the rear end hill but it was freaking hot and it was faster to do that, stop blowing smoke at me.

I have a rake. It works great.

2-stroke motors with no catalytic converter are horribly polluting. Electric blowers and mowers used to be pretty crap and if you have an old battery-op one I wouldn't be surprised if it sucks, but modern ones are fine.

The only reason the entire country's big cities aren't still draped in suffocating smog is because California decided to force automakers to fix their poo poo. CARB is a dysfunctional bureaucratic nightmare organization at its worst (it's done stupid poo poo like banning denatured alcohol, which uhhh, isn't exactly replaceable for certain uses like for example shellac) but at its best, California has dragged the rest of the country into decent air quality control regulation. Manufacturers just can't silo off and ignore a state with 40M people and 15% of the country's economy, and it's cheaper to just sell the same stuff everywhere than it is to make CA-specific stuff, most of the time.
