This is one of the problems; Our national obsession with "appearances." Debt doesn't show, nor does a corrupt moral values system. Intellect and honesty don't record on cameras. Send me $39 for 20 minutes and I'll explain how you too can become a moral and honest person.

DAMMIT. First for "first" though
Is that a shot of Snowflake & G before the arranged marriage?
I spit on your claims for first!
(Uzbecki Durok means "Uzbeck Fool" in Russian, BTW...)
I'll pay you $150 of Cashcall's money for a "Get Out of Hell Free" card.
I would also be in favor of wearing your IQ around as well.
The flip side of that coin is that wealth can be invisible too, I prefer to appear marginally getting by, then blow someone out of the water when they realise the material possessions I have. I then piss them off by saying that "money isn't important unless you have none".
Maybe debt does show - you ever see pics of see people in your own life that are stressed from debt? Unhappy bastards... I mean, look at some of Casey's pics - he looks so unhappy & depressed & like he is a failure & everything...
I intentionally drive low priced cars for many reasons. I could afford to buy a better car but it doesn't seem to be important to me. A no-frills Camry suits me fine even though I'd love (and can afford) a Lexus or Mercedes.
Car payments annoy me. If I make a home payment I know it's going to appreciate to some extent over time. A car just depreciates every day I own it. Those who feel the need to buy stupidly expensive cars do not impress me. I usually will pay attention to the details and it's more likely they are living on borrowed money.
Yo wannabes, you ain't fo shit unless you firshizzle mursizzle.
I get to all the VIP events with my homie Nigel in my high dollar sled with the expensive shoes. That's the way we be rollin from the hood.
Word!
Plus we don't hang wit no nappy headed ho's neither. Fo shizzle we roll with the finest bizatches that Nigizzle can round up.
But people do wear their debt on their sleeves.
They live in McMansions and drive Hummers; those guys are usually up to their ears in debt.
I'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a Wordpress plug in today.
Hey Robert,
Great site you've got here. Keep in touch. I'll be here to bail you out.

Dawg,
EXCELLENT topic and graphic to match.....
I'm changing my name from "Stanley" to "The Dude"...anything I have to do via email for the new forums?
Game, we both got bitchslapped by Uzbecki
240 comments in the IAFF moderation queue. And no early riser comment this morning. Big surprise.
Maybe Casey's working on another mammoth self-justification post? "Helping People In Foreclosure: What's $39 These Days Anyway?"
bah. you can barely buy a jamba juice for $39 these days...
maybe casey is taking his time moderating the comments to increase demand for his regristaion sevice. I am sure there will be a Fee for acitvation.
Fliptard's latest post is classic!
His Realtor™ TELLS him what to do and he basically e-mails him back asking if it is really necessary.
Moron.

Pool Maintenance in Foreclosure
If you’re facing foreclosure, you know that sinking money into any kind of maintenance is the last thing on your mind. Especially when you don’t live in the property and the property is 75 miles away.
The last time I visited that property was sometime in October or November of last year. Here is how I remember the pool looking like:
Apparently, the pool has gotten much worse since…
Here is the email I got from my short sale specialist real estate agent who is trying to help me stop foreclosure on the Modesto property:
Casey,
I just wanted to update you on what is going on. I went by the property today. The pool looks nasty. There is a notice from the mosquito abatement district. They want you to clean or drain the pool within 2 weeks. I tried to call them but they close at 5. The number is 209-XXX-XXXX, if you want to call them. We should be hearing from the second lender soon. ( I Hope.)
– Modesto Agent
Here is how I responded:
Should I call the abatement and see what my options are? Or maybe I should wait a little longer for the answer on the second. Then I can tell them that we have the house in escrow and it should be selling soon and tell them that the new owners will start cleaning it up as soon as it’s closed. Please advise.
– Casey Serin
Oh the wonderful life of pre-foreclosure property ownership!
Then the comment he left on the latest post:

By the way, I’m catching up on comments from last post (over 200 waiting still). Should be released within 30 min or so.
I got a ton of registrations too. However some of the those are trolls and pretenders. You know who you are. You’re screwing it up for everybody else! I now have to put some kind of a system in place to prevent the trolls from registering again and again using different email addresses and creating a big headache for me.
Perhaps I’ll ban the IP address with a slight risk that the address may be used for more than one person and I will be banning good people with the bad.
So for now the comments will continue as usual with moderation and all. As soon as I have a good system for managing user and registrations I will start allowing instant comments.
Even then it will be a trial period. If the haters start causing more headaches I may have to take more drastic steps. Freakin’ haters… I’m getting tired of you! I don’t know how much longer I’m gonna bother with you. My traffic will be just fine without you.
Oh I've got some in the Q that are probably going to get me banned...at least well on the road to it...
@ Stan (The Dude) - Nice choice
Same here. The last car was the new '06 Civic. Yes, it was new but older models with fewer features were more expensive USED. Near as I can tell 24k miles later it is resale 95% of what we paid. Next car will be an excess however. I'm seeing Audi TTs and such starting to flood the market as FBs jettison the trappings of their excesses.
Casey sez: Hey Wagga why are you so fat?
Wagga: Coz every time I fuck Galina she gives me a cookie.
A simultaneous post with Dawg! I'll carry the honour all day!
Hello. I have a new word to describe Casey.
Delusional = as usual = Delusual
Rob,
What kind of car were you driving on February 6th, 2004?
Casey grasps at straws:
I would love to help. However, I get tons of requests. To make sure
I give you the timely attention you deserve I must charge a small fee.
The fee is $39 for a 20 minute phone consultation. That also includes unlimited email consulting for a week.

Ponch, is that you?
In Young Master Serin, strong the dark side is.
Sloth, Greed, and Envy, excessive his is and will continue to be.
Dishonor to himself and family, he brings.
Pain to world, he does inflict.
Casey, I am your lenderrrrrrrr!
Robdawg sez: Hey Wagga why are you so fat?
Wagga: Coz every time I fuck Theresa she gives me a cookie.
Someone please come clean all the crap and mosquitoes out of me. My owner is a lazy piece of shit and hasn't been to see me in months. Man how I hate that murse toting weasel.
Hey all. Just thought Jimmy James should make a little PSA, you know, in honor of the Casemeister chattin' up banning IPs and all.
Grab yo-self some o'dat Tor Network software. Tor's a worldwide anonymization network with hundreds of thousands of IP endpoints. It's free, easy to use, integrates well with Firefox, and makes it virtually impossible for the boy to ban based on IP address. He could ban IPs nonstop for years and it wouldn't make no diff. Just reload the page, and boom, you're on another random IP somewhere on the other side of the planet. Also keeps him from tracing the IP to the original source.
Fact and all, Jimmy James be makin' this post through Tor right now.
Just a little headsup from yo friend, Jimmy James. And that just how it is. Amen!
I've been driving an '02 Jetta DIESEL since I bought it new in Sept '02.
I bought diesel because I thought the price of gas was too high, even then.
I intend to have this vehicle last at least 10 years, and with today's fuel prices, (2.67/gal in NJ), I will have saved the purchase price after 7 years.This car replaced a 12 year old F150 that I had bought new in '90.
Last Summer I bought my wife an '06 Tribeca, for the roominess and safety. It replaced a '95 Volvo, bought new in '95.
For me, an auto is just a machine that gets me back and forth to my W-2 Looser job, without extra expense.
(I will be buying a Steyr 308 at SniperCentral.com in a few months, about 2300.00, but hey, what good is having money if you never use it?)
wagga has left a new comment on your post "If Debt Were Visible":

Lots of bitter disruption attempts. There may be some heavyhanded administrating soon. Sorry. This isn't the real wagga. Based on past attacks everyone should expect somebody to try multiple impersonations.
@ Rob:
Did you consider the Corolla as well? If so, what tipped the decision in favor of the Civic?
CHP @ 10:20
Ponch, is that you?
No. This is Officer Chapman, Andrew Chapman. And you better hope you never see me in uniform.
Ask your fearless leader about that. He knows.
I don't see the point of spending more than $30k on a car, any car.
I won't buy a Honda or a Toyota, though, they are just too damn BORING. The new Nissans are looking nice, and they have several in the $15 - $25k price range.
Lots of bitter disruption attempts. There may be some heavyhanded administrating soon. Sorry.
I'm just kidding Dawg! How come it's funny when I talk about Casey's wife, but it's not funny when I talk about banging yours?
You need to realize that you don't even pay depreciation on a car that's been depreciated down to salvage value. At that point, all you're paying is insurance (and not much as it's based on blue book), gas, and repairs you can't do yourself. Cars aren't necessarily the money pit people make them out to be--just as long as you're not too proud to be seen in a slightly rusty '92 compact.
While I don't consider myself "cheap" (someone who's "cheap" is someone who inflicts their frugality on others), I do consider myself thrifty, and one of the keys to saving money is by having the cheapest car (but a reliable one) you can find. My current mode of transportation is my shoes and my Metro card--public transportation for the carless partially subsidized by the car-owning taxpayers, huzzah! Of course, I also end up paying out taxes on roads that I don't use, so I suppose it evens out . . .
Based on past attacks everyone should expect somebody to try multiple impersonations.
Precisely why I bit the bullet and signed up for a Blogger account. Since it looks like we may or may not ever get forums, I would encourage others to do likewise. Google makes it pretty easy to maintain multiple accounts, if that's what's stopping you.
Yes, Blogger accounts can't be hacked. I feel completely safe with a blogger account.
Nobody can spoof me. Nobody!
I like little girls by the way.
Did I mention my heroin addiction?
Did you consider the Corolla as well? If so, what tipped the decision in favor of the Civic?
Corolla v Civic.
Excellent question and a couple unusual answers.
The '06 Civic was at the start of the model style cycle, the Corolla at the end of its. This also meant the Civic met the new side impact standards. The honest gas mileage for the type of driving we do is slightly higher. Resale was/is likely higher. Liked the back seats a little more.
Little reasons. The Corolla was a little peppier but a little rougher riding as well.
In retrospect I'd have been happy with either as the Corolla could have been a bit cheaper but no complaints about the other decision.
Oh, and as an engineer you look at the two engine compartments side by side; the Honda is just obviously much better designed and packaged.

You don't get it. I can take the venom, you just aren't "wagga" and I don't have much tolerance for lying and thieving. Yawn.
Nice try, fake me, but I know how you did that and I know my account has not been compromised.
You're the one that's fake! Stop hijacking my account!
I stand by my statement about enjoying heroin with little girls.
Hey Sprezz, guess who was probably the one posting the garbage and also spoofing your handle? Nigella Swapmeet of course

Jesus Christ, look at the Sumo-babies.
Steph,
I'm sorry about that. I 've been trying to get some laughs and everybody is so serious. Of course childhood obesity is a real problem. The point was that there are no similar obvious ways to know if someone has been consuming too much credit. Clearly with these kidsmommy put one too many twinkies in their luchbox and I was simply bemoaning that lenders #3-19 couldn't see the same symptoms in Casey wrt credit.
Don't get me wrong, Rob. The image choice is excellent, but it's still a shock to see them.
I half expect them both to be wearing white diapers and black topknots.
@ Rob:
Interesting. I'd wondered what the selling points of the Civic were, given the price difference.
Either car is likely to still be on the road in 20 years.
Ogg, agreed. I was shopping at the 99¢ store in my 8yo SUV full paid for when I parked next to a Honda CVCC. No, not Civic, CVCC. It stood for controlled vortex combustion chamber but I doubt anyone remembers that. 1973 and even 34 years of SoCal weather wasn't enough to hold back the rust around the rear flat glass hatch panel. I remember these rusting out in New England in one winter or less. It was still an every day driver. Unbelievable.
So, I'm interested. Do you agree or at least understand my reasons? I could only get $500 off the Civic but could have gotten a Corolla for maybe $2500 less. I guess if money were the only thing the Corolla is the choice but this is a vehicle I'll be "stuck" with for a very long time. It is even concievable that I'd treat the Toyota less gently and/or get rid of it sooner out of some buried resentment thus negating the initial price difference.
I recommend dirty, rusty Jeeps all around.
@ Rob:

I understand. Your reasons make sense to me. As for whether I agree or not, it's hard to say without having driven both cars. The last Civic I drove was an '86 (still on the road now, but in sad shape) and I've never driven a Corolla.
Back seat comfort is significant if you'll be sitting in it, and engine bay layout is important if you ever expect to do any of your own work. My Subaru (sorry Steph!) might not be as exciting as some cars I've had, but if the need arises I can change the alternator without having to grow extra joints in my arm.
@CHP
Why, did you do a Rodney King on him?
"Why, did you do a Rodney King on him?"
Nope. I judged a roadside olympics contest.
In the US, I drove a modified 1969 Corvette and a 1972 VW Super Beetle with only 250 000 miles.
But since I live in Russia now, I gave them to my Dad.
