I remember reading about that somewhere from someone, I thought it was in one of your more auto-biographical works. If that was you, can you point me to the relevant account in your body of work so I can reread it?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06892275632225361907noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160895395634617774.post-66417890717056283732012-12-06T10:47:10.498-06:002012-12-06T10:47:10.498-06:00WHD,
That is amazing to me that the legal document...WHD,<br />That is amazing to me that the legal documents are that obviously cocked up. I've read a good bit about people actually challenging these things in court, which scared the banks shitless and has been a pretty successful way to fight the housing bubble. Probably the only successful way. The way the media portrayed it, and I accepted, was that errors in the paper work were still a small percentage and it took lawyers to figure it out. Sounds like the reality is far worse than that. Every paper a fraud, every sentence a syntax. That warms my heart.<br /><br />Hey, I have this other story idea that I am toying with. I am dropping it here because lately I've been toying with another story idea, which is to chase synchronicity with an autistic relentlessness. Often this means dropping cryptic messages on people, sometimes something interesting flushes out.<br /><br />The idea is this, its a story about a miracle drug. The drug works like this, no matter what the ailment or intended effect, the drug is proven to be effective for some of the people in clinical trials. The drug also has no known side effects. FDA approval (or any fictional regulatory body) is a cinch based on those two observations. The drug has been validated in virtually every medical study ever conducted without side effects is a shoe in for market. The name of the drug is Placebex and comes in a little white pill. <br /><br />Its an interesting premise, but I am struggling to think of a way to carry that story. <br /><br />I am reading fiction right now to find some idea to steal in order to get started, some book by a guy called Henry Roth. Its not quite right. Originally, I envisioned post industrial gangs of pharmaceutical reps battling it out in a drug war when Placebex hits the scene. I need better ideas than the tribulations of Jewish immigrants in early 20th century New York to steal.

If tables were turned and I had filled out these documents with exactly as much attention to detail as the average I see, and I were trying to keep my house, probably every court in America would say my sloppiness makes the agreement null and void - house to bank, and cash or credit to pay for whatever other grievances big bank claims. No need for me to mess with docs, even if I could. I have been given a task, and I do it accurately and as fast as will keep them from sending me away for performance reasons. <br /><br />Thank you for the blessings. They were heard. I guarantee it! LOL. :) William Hunter Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659156353754825272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160895395634617774.post-37544034130130823702012-11-26T10:30:24.669-06:002012-11-26T10:30:24.669-06:00William,

I sent some well wishing thoughts your way, glad to see they paid off.<br /><br />I sort of envy you, working at a big bank doing the robo-signing paperwork. You and your co-workers are in such a great position to give people who try to fight back and keep their house something to use in the paperwork. A misplaced comma here, a decimal there, that kind of Mickey Mouse stuff abounds at your work shop I am sure. <br /><br />I think its an interesting twist of fate and positive karma that you successfully fought off losing your home and ended up in a place to help others do the same.

Thank the Goddess, as the material for the infrastructure and the brains that put it together came from Her. :) Thank you for the compliment, and I will continue to post.<br /><br />Michael,<br /><br />Should I read the second comment before I comment on the first?<br /><br />Jeff Z,<br /><br />I know it, about the stores. I'm brainstorming like mad, about my house and garage and garden. Skills for a new age. My garage is evolving quickly. If I ever get around to the house, I might actually be able to find a girlfriend. LOL.<br /><br />I'm with ya, with that image of you and your son. :)<br /><br />Much to be thankful for, indeed. And yes, to friends. All is well.<br /><br /><br /><br />William Hunter Duncanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03659156353754825272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1160895395634617774.post-20898919573631368102012-11-23T18:08:48.447-06:002012-11-23T18:08:48.447-06:00I love the photo of you and your niece on the tand...I love the photo of you and your niece on the tandem. That is worth more than anything you can get at MallWart on Black Friday.<br /><br />I am also at my sister's house today. Enjoying movies and together time. Trying not to think about the origin of the food- likely the same as your sister's meal. <br /><br />Cold comfort maybe that the same stores offering deals today may not be around in 5 or 10 years to offer anything. The reality is that re-localization is coming, not just to doomers, but to everyone, like it or not.<br /><br />Right now wife and sis have gone to 'work off' their lunch at the 'Y' and I'm alone in her house with my son- he playing with cars and legos, making up stories to himself that I overhear. Not a bad way to spend a day, however it happens to come to me.<br /><br />There is a lot to be thankful for, even industrial decline. I'm thankful for knowing you and for being exposed to your take on life- you're a good friend William Hunter Duncan. Hope all is well and continues to be so.

It might sound a tad daft to go around following "doomers" on-line but anyone who is an actual doomer (lots of pretenders) knows that there are few of us around so we look for intelligent conversation where we can find it. Thank God for the internet or a lot of us would be living in our basements. Keep posting.Michael Sosebeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07424806231591776967noreply@blogger.com
