A 50-year mortgage is great for anyone who never actually wants to own his house or build equity. It’s like renting but being responsible for repairs.

Hey #Uglydogs is anyone available to help get a husky across the country to her new home? Ms. Valente is putting together a group transport.
The response last night was so overwhelming, I need a new thread
So a family member died unexpectedly & left behind this sweet girl, who’s now on a 5day hold at a shelter in Eugene OR. I need to get her to Portland Maine to adopt her.
Some offered to chain a ride. Can we get her coast to coast?
