A Story For Dave
Today, I found out that my friend Dave passed away. It’s a body shock on so many levels. When I called Walter, we were sobbing one minute, laughing the next. Typical, of us, and of Dave. It’s shocking because Dave died of a form of cancer so horrific, I don’t have good ways of describing [...]

I went to the company’s website, but could not find the model anywhere, so I emailed customer service, to see if [...]

Countrywide Mortgage Sucks
This is a letter I’m posting on behalf of my friend Angela. Like her, I used to believe that doing the right thing was the right path, and that if you had good intentions, it’d all work out in the end. But things in this country are so insane right now, and the mortgage companies [...]
