If you’re one of the people worried about that, here’s what you need to know.A lot of that fear is probably coming from what you’re hearing in the media or reading online.

Sandra came up with a great blog to share with us here in the Rain. When you are considering the purchase of a new home, one of the first things to think about is if you will be able to get a mortgage loan. At the start of the home buying process, you will hear terms like “pre-qualification”, “pre-approval”, and “conditional approval”. If you are not familiar with these terms and their meanings, it can add to the already stressful process of entering the housing market as a buyer. While all these terms may sound similar, they are not the same. Pre-qualification, pre-approval, and the conditional approval letter share common characteristics, but they occur at different times during your journey to home ownership. Having a clear understanding of what they mean will save some of the confus... 04/22/2024

Hey Earth, you rock! I am sure we have all notices changes from our youth regarding the climate around the world, in our neighborhood.  It is there if you just look.  AND It all makes sense in the big picture there are things we do as humans that affect the word we live in.  I am not a radical by any stroke of imagination, but I can't ignore the fact that there are things that we do that in the long run are not good for me or the place I am vey fortunate to live.   Pick up my trash and dispose of it in the proper place.  Turn off the lights when I leave a room, close the frig door when I grab something from inside.  It is the small things that really do matter over time.   This is why it’s important to clean up our act - and the planet.

The last post I wrote was AI banned on Activerain ? I dont like to be someone that just presents problems without a possible solution.

Tonight is the first night of Passover and Jewish people all over the World will be sitting down with their families and close friends and having a Seder dinner. What is a Seder, you may ask? It is a meal symbolizing freedom from slavery and bondage from Egypt, and each food has its own meaning. It is a tradition celebrated. The Jewish people left Egypt in haste with no time to make bread; therefore, this is why Matzo is unleavened bread. It is the Story of Exodus and there is a plate on the table that each food/herb has a meaning. You will find the story in the Bible. This is a very condensed version of what a Seder dinner is.    This year with all the turmoil in the Mideast let us hope and pray it will be Peaceful   04/22/2024
