We re-negotiated ours yesterday and I merely wanted to see what others felt about their rates / companies etc.

I'm interested in hearing what the 1st mortgage rate is in the UK

We refi'ed a couple years ago at 4.75 but we timed it pretty good. I think it's back up around 6-7 now...

There are many positive things and worthwhile things about America.

I'm stumped for a moment but I'll ponder it overnight.

Yes Ken , the smileys were to indicate that you finally get to a state where you don't have a mortgage.

Why have you assumed that you need to search for positive aspects of America?

My point was that out of the billions of different available topics to choose from, the sole point of focus seems to be the negative aspects of America.

That is the argument of Rich being anti-American. He seems to focus on no other topic. Even you couldn't remove yourself from this frame-set. You presumed that the only other available topic would be positive American aspects. Why could it have not been , I don't know, ...igloo building.

I never miss an episode of Hell's Kitchen with that chef Gordon Ramsey. He is hilarious. One classic line he said last night was something like:

"I scream at people because if you scare them, they're more likely to remember what I said"

"I scream at people because if you scare them, they're more likely to remember what I said"

That sounds a bit like Rich's strategy

Oh sorry for trying to start a sensible discussion. forget it matey

Wow. It took an entire 7 minutes for you to prove my point. Congratulations, that's record time.

"I scream at people because if you scare them, they're more likely to remember what I said"

That's funny, but if memory serves correctly just the opposite is true: that stress inhibits memory. ...Yep, I remembered correctly.
