   The Economy Thread

   I don't know what to call this, but was thinking of putting something together here that may be beneficial for people and if there is interest can continue maybe weekly or so. If this is a bad idea or not well received I'd rather not waste my time and not bump a thread no one cares about, please add your input or not and this will die off. As most here know, I am a mortgage/real estate expert for over 21 years. That allows me to compile helpful consumer data for people looking to make all sorts of financial decisions whether mortgage/real estate related or not. I noticed over the years and experience, I have gone from just giving people rate/payment numbers to actual…

   Question about urine drug tests.

   September 18, 2021 by tdawg87

   So I just had to take a piss test for "drugs of abuse" at my hospital because I'm prescribed a "drug of abuse" and they're now doing this test once a year, or so they told me. The internet says these tests can't detect the amount, only that they have a "cutoff". Is this accurate? I don't take anything illegal nor do I abuse the medication I'm on, but I take a high dose "as needed" and don't wait 24 hours, so it's quite likely I've taken a lot more than expected over the past few days, and it's almost certainly going to be a positive test.

    Is kind of a jerk. Saw the guy in the diamond club during the top of the 9th and he gave me the stink eye. Didn’t even want to bother him with a pic or anything but he was super unfriendly—I just smiled at him and he looked pissed—did the same thing to the girl I was with. A few minutes later I ran into him in the bathroom as I was leaving and he gave me another stink eye and nearly ran into me. Is he a known jerk or something? I’m a bit disappointed since every Angel celebrity I’ve encountered has been very nice.

    Home Refi

    If you are considering doing a Home Refi, or looking for a new home loan, I would highly recommend contacting @Brandon. I had gotten a quote from Rocket Mortgage just before talking with Brandon. Brandon got me a better rate at a much lower cost, saving me thousands of dollars. And the mortgage is still with Rocket! I have refinanced several times in the past 20 years and this was the quickest and easiest process I have experienced. Everything on-line or over the phone. The only in person event was the notarized signatures at the end.

    So I got my car registered and inspected at the end of March. I brought my car in a little early because it was making a whirring sound. Low at 40 mph, then high pitched at 55 mph. Otherwise no sound at all. I figured it might be a wheel bearing but wasn't sure. I told them about this, and said I wanted it looked at and then have the car inspected. Well, according to them, it was my brakes. They said when they listened to the car all they heard were the brakes. So I had to spend $1900 for new brakes so it could pass inspection. The receipt/diagnostic form said specifically "the noise was not a wheel bearing. The noise was coming from the brakes." So I …

    Wedding day advice 1 2

    I got married last year on this day in a small backyard wedding, but today is our big “wedding” with all our guests/friends/family. Any advice for the day of from you married people? I kept thinking it was so far away that I never really put much thought into the actual day, but now I’m pretty nervous. Covid won’t really impact us except if people choose to wear masks on their own. It’s indoors in Pasadena but it’s considered a private event/business so masks aren’t required despite the local mandate, at least that’s what the venue is going with.
