Impaired Celebs

Word on the street is that Lindsay Lohan is on the wagon. Sad that she’s under age to legally drink in most States and she’s got a drinking problem isn’t it? She announced earlier this week that she’s been attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings for a yar and hasn’t had a drink in weeks.

“We have learned that she has been in AA,” Szish said. “She’s trying to show us that at this point she’s trying as much as she can to be serious about it. Again, she’s 20 years old and it is something that’s simple steps. If she’s taking those steps, a week a great.”

Then there’s Nicole Ritchie and her DUI – “She was arrested for a DUI, not for alcohol, but reportedly for taking vicodin and a bit of marijuana,” Szish said. “She was driving her car home from a late movie, following her boyfriend and missed a turn and got on the wrong freeway entrance and her car was driving in the wrong direction and she got into trouble.”

She’s so lucky that she didn’t hit anyone. I hope she starts to take responsibility for her actions, you can’t take meds, illegal drugs or drink and drive. It’s just wrong.

Rosie Apologizes

Rosie O’Donnels the queen of Nice? I don’t know after seeing her performance on the view last week when she mockingly spoken in broken English with a Chinese accent. This week she addressed her attempt at humor and made a formal on camera apology.

After running the clip of her offensive performance last December 5th, she said “This apparently was very offensive to a lot of Asian people. So I asked Judy, who’s Asian and works here in our hair and makeup department. I said, ‘Was it offensive to you?’ And she said, ‘Well, kinda. When I was a kid people did tease me by saying ching-chong.’

“So apparently ‘ching-chong,’ unbeknownst to me, is a very offensive way to make fun, quote-unquote, or mock, Asian accents. Some people have told me it’s as bad as the n-word. I was like, really? I didn’t know that.”

She went on to say that she never intended to hurt anyone with her remarks and that she was sorry for those people we felt hurt, but went on to warn that there was a good chance she might do something like that again in the future – Not on Purpose of course.

Headache of refinancing our Mortgage

We’ve been in our home now for five and a half years, and just this past June we had to renegotiate our Mortgage and decided to try mortgage refinancing so that we could get a better rate and lower our payments over all.

Since we’d never been through the process of renewing and or negotiating a current mortgage loan for a new one with a lower rate we were pretty confused. I went back and forth on the phone with our mortgage company and broker several times over a period of three weeks or so before we settled on a deal that would give us an adjustable rate mortgage with pretty much the same low interest rate that we’d been paying. However thanks to our paying down on our loan just prior to refinancing we were able to lower the monthly payments by a fraction. That’s come in very handy in recent months.

I’m really not looking forward to the next time we have to deal with our mortgage company, but at least this time I’ve got a little bit of experience. I’ve also found a website that is full of great information on Mortgages- getting one, and refinancing, plus the site even offers assistance if finding you a broker. I think I’ll spend some time over there reading up on all the information before I go through this experience again.
