Foreclosure Mortgage Debt No Longer A Liability And PMI Is Deductible (Mar 02 2008 05:53 GMT) - Foreclosure Mortgage Debt No Longer A Liability and PMI is now Deductible If you lost a home to foreclosure last year or paid mortgage insurance premiums, there is some good news. Congress enacted laws in late 2007 to allow deduction of some mortgage insurance premiums. This could amount to a tax break of up to $350. The foreclosure tax break applies to all taxpayers who were granted forgiveness of mortgage debt. Previously, this amount was fully taxable and could have run into the tens of thousands of dollars. |

42 Steps. (Mar 02 2008 05:49 GMT) - I've just climbed the 27 steps up to my attic bedroom to water my rudbeckia seedlings which I've placed on the windowsill. Together with the steps down into the cellar, and five steps from my kitchen down into the garden; my house has 42 steps in total - meaning I must be climbing up and down at least a couple of hundred steps every day. It's one way of taking some exercise I suppose. |

eating and drinking (Mar 02 2008 05:49 GMT) - when you live on your own (albeit as a couple) in the middle of nowhere, and you only interact with anyone whilst working, you really miss intelligent conversations with other people (yeah, me and julie primarily communicate in shabbas and heys). and also eating out. so being invited over for dinner is one of the greatest things ever. a few nights ago we had dinner over at tyler's house, for want of a better term. he's the forester here who organised our internships and who you can picture as a middleman, if you like. |

snow joke (Mar 02 2008 05:49 GMT) - yesterday should have ended in disaster. maybe it still will. i started drinking at 3pm and managed to get through four beers before leaving work at around six. i'd refused to restock the drinks cabinet without at least receiving a couple of beers for myself, and it went rather well. of course, on the way home i got myself absolutely covered in snow and had to instantly remove all my clothes once finally back in the warm. |
