That thought crossed my mind while typing that... Wolverine is in a bunch of titles and teams right now too isn"t he. Guess I like my comics being in the same universe as similar relevant titles, and not simply using that universe as a setting and existing in a bubble outside of crossovers.

So the FF is ending and they"re starting a new FF? The Future Foundation? And adding Spider-Man to the team? So Spider-Man has his own title(s?), is an Avenger, and will now also be part of this FF team? Spider-Man Joins the FF | Fantastic Four | Comic News | News | Marvel.com I guess...

Just read the last 18 or so issues of FF... some pretty good stuff. Felt kind of all over the place but I liked it.

Back to answering the OP, at 16 years old in 1995 this became my most memorable comic moment: It goes on from there of course... but those frames of Joker going to town... I am pretty sure I"ll never forget.

So confused. Went to pay my mortgage, and it went up $200 ($1050 -> $1260) due to escrow stuff... but looking at December 2009 statements the figures didn"t really change. I called BofA and at the end of the call my monthly payment has now decreased $20 ($1030). I feel like in a month or two...

One of the few hopes I have for entertaining comics atm is Apocalypse returning to some meaningful threat... I have a feeling that"s just going to be a few-issue arc that ends with Wolverine/Archangel just cutting his head off or something stupid though. I"ve rarely been able to get into the...

Yeah, I"ve got a FHA loan... I think this answers most of my questions, aside from how much it would cost me: HUD Streamline Your FHA Mortgage

Our banker guy called me yesterday asking if we"d looked into trying to get our interest rate lowered, said we"d just need to do some paperwork to rewrite the loan and to give him a call back if we"re 1% higher than the 4.5% he says he could get it down to. Said BofA has a streamined process for...

For some reason I was expecting some halfway serious story against the backdrop of the Infinity Gauntlet story arc with this Avengers & The Infinity Gauntlet... color me disappointed when it reads like a poor Saturday morning cartoon in comic book form.

wtf are they doing to the beast, first they make him look more feline and now he"s a photoshop away from looking like a fat Chester the Cheetah in the new Uncanny X-Men: The Heroic Age #1

The only rationalization I can make is they are raking in the dough on TPBs in addtion a lack of ambition and a general mismanagement of the strategy of their digital unlimited service.

When I was considering a marvel sub a few months ago, they didn"t even have Civil War 1-7, and that was out in 2006. At a glance they still have no way to view entire runs of a crossover either. You should be able to bring up a page for any given event, like Civil War, have it appear in a list...

Bank of America ended up kinda slow for us but we had a couple paperwork snafus pop up that complicated stuff if I remember correctly, and a family trip out of town the 7 days prior to our close date kinda made things a pita too.... IMO the key here isnt the bank, it"s the guy/people you are...

When we bought our first home for 20k over list in November, we were routinely losing houses with 50+ bids on them here in Vegas. There were 23 on the house we bought.

Doh, now for the longest week ever.

If that"s all that"s wrong with a 25 y/o house, I"d think you"ve got a pretty nice one. I"ve never replaced a roof so no idea of the costs, but surely the tax credit could go a long way toward making that a non-issue if you weren"t counting on it for other stuff.

Congrats! Hope inspection goes well, good luck with your closing fun.

Keys werent waiting for us, and someone in the escrow office dropped the ball thinking something was needed and it wasnt... Long story short, im typing from the room where my computer desk will go... when we have the energy to haul it up from the garage. Had the key for less than 24 hours...

Signed everything tonight... now going out of town for the weekend for a reunion of my wife"s family and when we come back hopefully have some keys waiting for us. Finally.

"in line for final underwriting" aka "wont be to title and ready for you to sign until a full day after the close date in your contract, and you have to start rescheduling your UHaul and half a dozen installs and appointments that you were hoping to do day 1"

So yeah, I have less than 48 hours now to sign papers, and my loan is still in underwriting and hasn"t been sent to the title company.

In hindsight I expect to be in full agreement, but until then, nervous it is! I"m the steady unaffected one though, otherwise my wife would be even more stressed out and emotional. I haven"t even really gotten excited about all of this, will be once we have keys.

So yeah, getting nervous. Have like 5 days to close, and bank is still waiting on Chase to verify something.

We actually stopped looking at houses we bid on until we got the bank counter. If you don"t sign the bank counter, nothing happens, and you dont lose your earnest money... you get denied so often it was a waste of ours and our realtor"s time. If we liked the area and model we sent in an...

House appraised for what we bid on it ($140k) so yay I guess. Now just need to have a window fixed, and there"s $ in the contract to do so.

Thanks! We"re closing 11/23, but will be out of town for a reunion 11/20-11/23, banker thinks we"ll be closed mid November no problem. Appraisal results due Tuesday, worse case we expect the price to come in a little lower than the 140k we"re paying so we"ll need to do an addendum or whatever...

Damn man, congrats, that place is gorgeous. Got our HoA docs to review today... they were printed by the selling broker in june... and are like 2.5 inches thick (189 pages), wow.

1350sqft manufactured home, 100+ degree temperatures for 3 months in Vegas, I just paid 3 consecutive $250-$270 power bills (NV Energy they just got another rate hike approved before the summer I think) We could use a little less AC, wife can"t sleep while it"s hot... and have fans going all...

It"s our earnest money. Some rule changed and the blank check we were using on our offers can"t be used for it, so I had to bring a cashiers check to wherever for escrow. Plenty of outs still if the inspection turns up something unexpected. I"m just following directions from an awesome...

So I"ve been pretty restrained and level headed through this whole looking for a house process (to balance out the emotional wife for the most part as we went through 18 offers), but today while I was dropping off a cashiers check to the title company and they asked me to write my new address on...

This was our 18th offer. I"ll be excited once we"re past appraisal.

Signed the bank counter today on our first home today... /fidget. $140k - 1725 sqft 2 story 2 car garage on a 2613 sqft lot.

BofA here (I assume elsewhere too) starting a program for FHA buyers to increase their interest rate a quarter point and they"ll give 1% of the loan as a lender credit to pay closing costs.

We"re almost 20 offers in, Vegas is crazy right now for home buying, so many cash offers and short sales, 10-40 offers on houses, and we"re not ideal buyers (FHA, and asking for 3.5% closing costs with a max of 140k, shooting for ~1k payments). On 2nd realtor too, first one was shit.

Ngruk has 497 of his 583 posts in this thread, if there was a thread about my company I suspect I"d have a similar ratio over the 8000+ replies. Thankfully we have Utnayan"s 159 posts to keep us all in the know about evil marketing and character issues. Thanks or something.
