This is where we talk about crazy house/mortgage stuff, right?

After Katrina, my boss and a couple of friends bought a house. They then took a 2nd mortgage out on one of the friends' houses and paid the just-bought house (hereafter the JBH) off. Now, my boss wants to sell the JBH to one of his employees - but there's a mortgage on it in default. The guy who sold them the JBH in 2006 apparently had a mortgage out on the house, and continued making interest payments for a while. If I read the legal papers right, the guy even refinanced the loan *this year*.

So now my boss (and friends) can't sell the house until they deal with this $120K mortgage that they didn't take out, and they have ten days to pay a certain amount or the house will be foreclosed on. I mean, WTF. They can't figure out how the existing loan didn't come to light when they bought the house originally.

LOVED IT. It's been awhile so I would need a refresher, but I loved it when we did it in middle school.

I don't remember how to properly diagram sentences.

I never teach it because I'm not convinced of its utility. But I do enjoy it.

I vaguely remember having fun diagramming sentences in middle school but I can't remember how to do it now.

Grammar turned into formulas, of course I loved it. (Now, it didn't really help me with english grammar. I read so much my writing was intuitive. I don't think I really got a firm grasp on parts of speech until I started learning foreign languages.)

Holy shit, smonster. I would cast blame on New Orleans. Tell 'em to get a lawyer, because... hell to the no.

Daisy should be getting close to having her baby girl.

smonster,

do they have title insurance? that's the kind of thing title insurance is supposed to help deal with.

There should not have been a closing on the house if there was an outstanding mortgage. The title company could be (should be) sued.

I never learned it n school, but I taught myslf, and I love it!
