Here ya go... Why, Why, Why Why do we press harder on a remote control when we know the batteries are getting dead? Why do banks charge a fee on "insufficient funds" when they know there is not enough money? Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars , but check when you say the paint is wet?    Why do they use sterilized needles for death by lethal injection? Why doesn't Tarzan have a beard? Why does Superman stop bullets with his chest, but ducks when you throw a revolver at him? Why do Kamikaze pilots wear helmets? Whose idea was it to put an "S" in the word "lisp"? If people evolved from apes, why are there still apes? Why is it that no matter what color bubble bath you use the bubbles are always white? Is there ever a day that mattresses are not on sale?...

Hope you enjoy my online management course. Please mail all course related fees to office address. Have a AWESOME day!!    Mark Subject: 3 minute management lesson Lesson 1 A man is getting into the shower just as his wife is finishing up her shower, when the doorbell rings. The wife quickly wraps herself in a towel and runs downstairs. When she opens the door, there stands Bob, the next-door neighbour. Before she says a word, Bob says, 'I'll give you $800 to drop that towel.' After thinking for a moment, the woman drops her towel and stands naked in front of Bob. After a few seconds, Bob hands her $800 and leaves. The woman wraps back up in the towel and goes back upstairs. When she gets to the bathroom, her husband asks, 'Who was that?' 'It was Bob the next door neighbour,' she replie...

Hope you have a fun day!A cabbie picks up a Nun. She gets into the cab and notices that the VERY handsome Cab driver won't stop staring at her. She asks him why he is staring.. He replies: 'I have a question to ask you but I don't want to offend you.' She answers, 'My son, you cannot offend me. When you're as old as I am and have been a nun as long as I have, you get a chance to see and hear just about everything. I'm sure that there's nothing you could say or ask that I would find offensive.' 'Well, I've always had a fantasy to have a nun kiss me.' She responds, 'Well, let's see what we can do a! bout that: #1, you have to be single and #2, you must be Catholic.' The cab driver is very exc ited a nd says, 'Yes, I'm single and Catholic!' 'OK' the nun says. 'Pull into the next alley.' Th...

Please take the time to read and reflect on these stories!Mark www.markalkaseltzer.comOut of envy, I think our "friends" abroad sometimes lose their objectivity about how much good this country has done for them and the rest of the world. We, on the other hand, could be a lot craftier about how we go about things.....Four Great Short Stories!Here are a few military comebacks... When in England at a fairly large conference, Colin Powell was asked by the Archbishop of Canterbury if our plans for Iraq were just an example of 'empire building' by George Bush. He answered by saying, 'Over the years, the United States has sent many of its fine young men and women into great peril to fight for freedom beyond our borders. The only amount of land we have ever asked for in return is enough to bur...

                      Letter I sent to Secretary Jackson, Director of HUD. Hello: I am a Real Estate Agent outside of St. Louis MO. I have been in the industry for over 20 years in various capacities. I am writing to you in regards to Down Payment Assistance Programs. If we really want to do something to stabilize the Real Estate Industry and the overall economy of our nation we need to allow down payment assistance through sellers or even the Federal Government itself.     Presently, you want to do away with sellers ability to assist buyers, through funds, to pay for the buyers down payment. What a great concept it is that sellers can assist and cooperate with potential buyers in the dream of home ownership!! By utilizing down payment assistance we can stop downward spiraling prices, p...

If they are persistant or sound imtimidating, tell them to send proof or even to "take me to court" and plead your case there. Read on ol' faithful one...

I have access to a multitude of down payment assistance programs. If you are looking to buy in St. Peters or any where in the St. louis metro area, I have down payment programs for you! I even have funds available at the national level up to 5% of the property purchase price. If buying at the local level many of these down payments DO NOT NEED TO BE PAID BACK!!! If you are buying elsewhere in the US we can get the seller to pay for your DOWN PAYMENT using a program I am affiliated with;at the national level. In many cases I can get the seller to pay for your down payment AND your closing cost. Contact me for more info www.markalkaseltzer.comSaving for a downpayment is tough. Let me SHOW you that, together, we can make it easy...   Mark

I am sick of the doom and gloom the media portrays in the industry. These idiots that write this stuff are absolute morons! I swear, if a media person doesn't have something negative to write about, then they are lost! In the Post-Dispatch today, they write, "the market is down" and on and on. Here is my point: The idiot that wrote the article talks about how some loser had to drop his price $40,000... DO YOU THINK MAYBE IT WAS OVER PRICED?!At the end of this fantastic piece of literature, he/she did state that prices of homes that have SOLD went up approximately 1% in St. Charles county (it is actually more). Here is the problem: Agents are pricing houses too high; they tell people their houses are worth more than they are just to get the listing. Of course, it doesn't sell and there i...

Once again we are ranked in the Top 5 Markets in the US, Yahoo 2-13-08. Yes, we are lucky that the market here is not experiencing the flucuations seen in other areas, but I am concerned about property taxes!! The taxes are SO HIGH around here often adding 200.00 per month to a mortgage payment on a modest purchase!
