I have a certain way of doing things. I get joy out of my independence. I think all people in the world do one way or another. People, in general, try to not only do things they way they want, but they attempt to make other people do things their way. It’s part of the [...

We closed on our house on February 24th 2009 at 12:00. The events that lead up to that day were littered with fear, anger, frustration, stress, and excitement. You see, after the official acceptance of the offer we had three weeks of Due Diligence and Financial Contingency. Wh...
