He'd never been to church in his life.</p> <p>After Mass, the priest caught up with him and said, "Murphy, I am so glad ya decided to come to Mass. What made ya come?"<br />Murphy said, "I got to be honest with you Father, a while back, I misplaced me hat and I really, really love that hat. I know that McGlynn had a hat just like mine and I knew he came to church every Sunday. I also knew that he had to take off his hat during Mass and figured he would leave it in the back of church. So, I was going to leave after Communion and steal McGlynn's hat."</p> <p>The priest said, "Well, Murphy, I notice that ya didn't steal McGlynn's hat. What changed your mind?"<br />Murphy replied, "Well, after I heard your sermon on the 10 Commandments, I decided that I didn't need to steal McGlynn's hat after all."</p> <p>With a tear in his eye the priest gave Murphy a big smile and said; "After I talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Steal' ya decided you would rather do without your hat than burn in Hell?"<br />Murphy slowly shook his head. "No, Father, after ya talked about 'Thou Shalt Not Commit Adultery' I remembered where I left me hat</p><div class='agent_signature'><p><strong><em><img title="Animated Banner" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/6/6/1/ar125537476716693.gif" alt="Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty" width="300" height="100" /></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Rick Cordisco - Owner / Realtor</em></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.poconomountainlakes.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono MLS for FREE</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconocommunitysite.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono 'Lake Community' Homes</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/vacarentals.html" target="_blank">Book Your Pocono Vacation</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/newhome.html" target="_blank">Build Your Dream Home in the Poconos!</a></p></div> Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty Wed, 10 Mar 2010 09:04:26 -0600 http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1537880/irish-alzheimers-too-funny- http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1532666/301-and-302-ridge-road-locust-lake-village-pocono-lake-pa-18347-backing-up-to-21-000-acres-of-pa-woodlands- 301 and 302 Ridge Road - Locust Lake Village - Pocono Lake Pa 18347 - Backing Up To 21,000 Acres of PA Woodlands! <p>Attention Outdoor Enthusiasts!!!

(Did you eat yet?)   <br />  <br />You learned to pronounce Bryn Mawr,  Wilkes-Barre ,  Schuylkill ,  Tamaqua, Kutztown, Tunkahannock, Bala Cynwyd, Duquesne, Monongahela and Conshohocken. <br />    <br />And we know  Lancaster is pronounced Lank-ister, not  Lan-kaster. <br />    <br />You know what a 'Mummer' is, and are disappointed if you can't catch at least highlights of the parade.   <br />  <br />At least five people on your block have electric 'candles' in all or most of their windows all year long.   <br />  <br />You know what a 'State Store' is, and your out-of-state friends find it incredulous that you can't purchase liquor at the mini-mart.  </p> <p><br />Words like  'hoagie,' 'crick,' 'chipped ham,' 'dippy eggs', 'sticky buns,'  'shoo-fly pie,' 'lemon sponge pie',  'pierogies'  and 'pocketbook' actually mean something to  you. (By the way, that last one's PA slang for a purse!)  <br />  <br />You not only heard of Birch Beer, but you know it comes in several colors.   <br />  <br />You know the difference between a cheese steak and a pizza steak sandwich, and you know that you also can't get a really good one anywhere outside of the Philly area. (Except maybe in  Atlantic City on the boardwalk or Joe's Steaks in P'burg ~ that's Phillipsburg, NJ for those uninitiated)  <br />    <br />You  know that Blue Ball, Intercourse,  Paradise, Climax, Bird-in-Hand, Beaver, Virginville, Sinking Spring, Jersey Shore, State  College, Washington Crossing,  Jim Thorpe, King of Prussia, Wind  Gap, and Slippery Rock are all PA towns ... and the first three  were consecutive stops on the old Reading RR! (PS - That's pronounced Redd-ing.)   <br />  <br />  You can identify drivers from  New York ,  New Jersey ,  Maryland or other neighboring states by their unique and irritating driving habits. <br />  <br />A traffic jam in  Lancaster  County  is 10 cars waiting to pass a horse-drawn carriage on the highway. (And remember ....that's Lank-ister!) <br />  <br />You know several people who have hit deer more than once.  <br />    <br />Driving is always better in winter because the potholes are filled with snow.</p> <p>As a kid you built snow forts and leaf piles that were taller than you were. <br />  <br />You know beer doesn't grow in a garden, but you know where to find a beer garden.  </p><div class='agent_signature'><p><strong><em><img title="Animated Banner" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/6/6/1/ar125537476716693.gif" alt="Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty" width="300" height="100" /></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Rick Cordisco - Owner / Realtor</em></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.poconomountainlakes.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono MLS for FREE</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconocommunitysite.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono 'Lake Community' Homes</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/vacarentals.html" target="_blank">Book Your Pocono Vacation</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/newhome.html" target="_blank">Build Your Dream Home in the Poconos!</a></p></div> Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty Thu, 18 Feb 2010 10:36:42 -0600 http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1500737/talking-pennsylvanian-pretty-funny-if-you-re-from-peee-ay- http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1500303/buyers-curb-your-credit-spending-if-you-are-interested-in-buying-a-house- Buyers - Curb Your Credit Spending if you Are Interested in Buying a House! <p>Don't go on a spending spree using credit if you are thinking about buying a home, or in the process of buying a new home. Your mortgage pre-approval is subject to a final evaluation of your financial situation. <br /><br />Every $100 you pay per month on a credit payment could cost you about $10,000 in home eligibility. For example, a car payment of $300/month could mean that you qualify for $30,000 less in a mortgage. <br /><br />Even if you have accumulated enough savings, you should consider not making any large purchases until after closing. The last thing you want is to know that you could have purchased a new home had you curbed the urge to spend.</p> <p>In Summary, wait till after you have made settlement to make any credit purchases if you need to. My personal opinion though, try to NEVER make credit purchases. Save your money and pay cash if you can.</p><div class='agent_signature'><p><strong><em><img title="Animated Banner" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/6/6/1/ar125537476716693.gif" alt="Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty" width="300" height="100" /></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Rick Cordisco - Owner / Realtor</em></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.poconomountainlakes.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono MLS for FREE</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconocommunitysite.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono 'Lake Community' Homes</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/vacarentals.html" target="_blank">Book Your Pocono Vacation</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/newhome.html" target="_blank">Build Your Dream Home in the Poconos!</a></p></div> Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty Thu, 18 Feb 2010 06:41:30 -0600 http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1500303/buyers-curb-your-credit-spending-if-you-are-interested-in-buying-a-house- http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1500292/why-should-a-buyer-use-a-buyers-agent- Why Should a Buyer Use a Buyers Agent? <p><strong>Why You Should Use a Buyers Agent!</strong></p> <p>It's important that you choose an experienced agent who is there for you. Your agent should be actively finding you potential homes, keeping you informed of the entire process, negotiating furiously on your behalf, and answering all of your questions with competence and speed. <br /><br />First, find an agent who represents you and not the seller. This is beneficial during the negotiation process. If you are working with a buyer's agent, he or she is required not to tell the seller of your top choice. In addition, he or she is also focused on getting you the lowest asking price. <br /><br />Also, when you use a buyer's agent, you will see more properties. Not only are they plugged into their Multiple Listing Service, but also they are actively finding homes that are listed as FSBO, or homes that sellers are thinking about listing.</p><div class='agent_signature'><p><strong><em><img title="Animated Banner" src="http://activerain.com/image_store/uploads/3/9/6/6/1/ar125537476716693.gif" alt="Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty" width="300" height="100" /></em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty</em></strong></p> <p><strong><em>Rick Cordisco - Owner / Realtor</em></strong></p> <p><a href="http://www.poconomountainlakes.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono MLS for FREE</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconocommunitysite.com/" target="_blank">Search Pocono 'Lake Community' Homes</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/vacarentals.html" target="_blank">Book Your Pocono Vacation</a></p> <p><a href="http://poconomountainlakes.net/newhome.html" target="_blank">Build Your Dream Home in the Poconos!</a></p></div> Pocono Mountain Lakes Realty Thu, 18 Feb 2010 06:28:10 -0600 http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1500292/why-should-a-buyer-use-a-buyers-agent- http://arrowheadlakes.net/post/1498214/the-pocono-mountains-your-destination-for-white-fluffy-winter-fun- The Pocono Mountains - Your Destination For White, Fluffy Winter Fun! <p>Most people vacation in the Summertime and for good reason.
