Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

Happy Sunday, partiers. Working all weekend!

Well, if you'd do your work during the week, you wouldn't be in this situation! ;)

Church has an all-parish mass at 10 AM this weekend each year. Today it was a polka mass. Weird. Jr was a Eucharist Minister for the first time today.

Dumb question: All parish mass? This differs from a normal Sunday how? I mean, isn't the whole parish supposed to go each Sunday to begin with? (besides weddings/funerals, I really haven't stepped into a church in about 20 years)

Just one mass this weekend instead of the usual four. (Saturday 5:15 PM, Sunday 9 and 11 AM and 6:30 PM) Weekend after the 4th, just one at 10 AM Sunday.

Gotcha. Having no clue about size of your parish/church, can the building fit the parish? Or do they do things to accommodate the (hopefully) bigger crowd?

I'm a lapsed Catholic. Annoys the parents, but I don't give a d*mn.

Yup. Had to go to church every Sunday (Roman Catholic, old school style) until mid-teens. Then I only "had" to go for Easter/Christmas. Once I was 18, no more churchin' for this guy.

Lapsed Lutheran here. I just don't feel like waking up that early on a Sunday morning to deal with a bunch of fawning busybody WASPs.

Plus my dad having gone full Limbaugh in his old age doesn't help. (His exact words when Iowa passed gay marriage? "That's where John Wayne grew up! How could this happen?" He also mentioned burning my Eagle Scout badge now that they accept gays.)

Heh. My dad went from moderate conservative to bleeding heart as he got older. Can't talk politics at all in the house. Even my mom (moderate lib) thinks my dad is too overboard.

Heh. I was born into a Catholic family, but my mom stopped attending mass back when I was 3 or 4 years old. She raised me without going to church, and then she was shocked when I told her I'm an atheist. Actually, she said that I disgust her. Then she was appalled when I asked her what she expected since I never was in a church all the time I was a child. Some children's people.

My mom was disappointed, but understood. Dad didn't really care, not really a churcher anyway (he was raised Protestant, IIRC, but his family wasn't all-in for religion).

Spammer lose on the D1 side. Set reppers to Frag.

Never been all that Churchy in my family. Story I've always heard was that my Grandpa Wayne got into a argument there, and well, he was pretty famous for his temper and vowed never to go back to the church. I do believe some of my Uncles have gotten back into it, and I do kind of think that Dad is drifting that way now that he's out of the house.

Me, I've just never really seen the need to go there that often.

Good morning Lodge.

Vacation is over. I'm sure I have several hundred emails to sort through and numerous voicemails to listen to and then return calls. I know for sure I have a couple conference calls today. I can't wait to get back in the office..............

Well, why the hell aren't you there yet? Dam slacker. A good company man would have been in by 5 AM to catch up on all those e-mails and voice-mails.

I have been very slow at work lately so I took the Tuesday off on July 2 to go fishing with Jr. I had about 15 e-mails on my phone by the time I checked it at about 10 - after having about 6 all day on Monday. {sigh}

Tickets on sale for 2014 WE Fest...the 2013 WE Fest hasn't even happened yet. How is this possible? Anyway, Jason Aldean, ZBB and Brad Paisley as headliners...I should probably buy tickets and actually get to go to a WE Fest one of these years.
 
Re: Rep Retirement Lodge #13^2: Independence!

Hi Lodge. Happy Monday! Off from work today. I had my annual physical this morning. Went well. I also used it as a pre-op appointment as I am having some minor surgery on my foot at the end of July. It's hazy, hot and humid today so I will probably sit out by the pool for a bit this afternoon.

I took the time here at home with no work distracting me to call my mortgage company. I need to re-finance. Rates are starting to go up and I am kicking myself for not making this call earlier this year. So I need some advice....

I have 22 years left of a 30yr fixed. I can do two things:

1. Take out a 15 yr mortgage. Rolling in all fees, etc. to the mortgage, my monthly payment will increase about $218 but over the course of the loan, I will save over $100K. Or I could put some money towards to principal to lower the amount I finance and my monthly payment goes up about $150.

2. Take out a 20 yr mortgage. Rolling in all fees, etc., monthly payment goes down $11/month. Or I could put the same amount towards the principal and my monthly payment will go down about $45. Over the course of the loan I will save over $45K.

I know I have to make the decision about whether I want to pay off less over a shorter amount of time vs. paying less every month. I see the numbers of how much I will save paying it back over the life of the loan, which is substantial, but then I try to determine if I can swing the extra money per month. That's almost an additional $2500 a year. Everybody's situation is different, but for those homeowners on the board, I'd love to get some feedback on this. Also, what are my tax implications? Hammer - any thoughts on that? When I got my taxes done this year my accountant was like "So next year when we meet you will have re-financed, right?????"
