Open Question: How do I get an accurate home appraisal?
I’m trying to refinance my house. It is on a relatively large lake that also leads into 3 other large lakes, deck, pool, new roof, fireplace. My problem is that there have been no other houses that have sold on any of these lakefronts in the last few months. The appraiser said she had to go by near waterfront homes to do the comps. However, the homes she used were on large ponds, not a lake. Difference: You can boat, jet ski, waterski etc. on my lake. The waterfront she used for the comps only allows canoes. She also used a fixer upper foreclosure at that! Plus, none of the other homes she used had pools or a fireplace. How do I get an accurate appraisal without any generally similar comps?

Open Question: This is a part of my story and i need a Title and your opinion, please. it may be long because i posted it.?
Chapter 2

“ What is your favorite song?” Jay asked as I sipped down my cherry coke. We were sitting in the middle of the theatre, waiting for the movie to start. I was staring at the happy couple in front of us and was zoned out. They seemed so in love. The way they looked at each other made me feel jealous of what they had and what I didn’t have. I suddenly snapped out of it and answered his question.
“ Well, I heard this song playing on the radio, it was a good song.” I said and smiled. He had curly red hair, with shining green eyes. He was a okay guy.
“ You heard that too. I thought it was a alright song. I heard they are gonna be in cali tomorrow night. Do you wanna go?” he said and a couple of guys behind us shushed us because the movie was about to start. I thought about and knew that it wouldn’t be a big deal.
“ Sure,” I whispered and ate some of his popcorn. He chuckled lowly and smiled. I had to smile on that one too. The movie had went alright and we decided to go over to Cray’s Lake which where we partied alot. Most of the people there were college students, but we had sort of connections. We pulled up to the big boat house and got out. Jay was already into the mood, while I was like I always was when I went to parties. We walked up the bumpy path which led to a big mansion type house-Jake’s college friends house. We finally made it to the house and ringed the doorbell. Tyler Ashley answered the door and invited us in. He was Jake’s friend also. We walked into the crowded house and Jay and I were hand in hand. (How romantic. Kidding) Since he knew everyone here he introduced me to some.
“ Nice to meet you.” a pink headed girl said, “ You can call me Cherry.” she smiled and finished her beer. I smiled and said, “ Nice to meet you too.”
We walked away and he wandered off to go get us some drinks. I was standing in the corner by the wall. I was always the different one. My eyes caught a glimpse of my friends all having the best time of their lives. Some guy with a Grey hoody pushed me against the wall on a accident, causing me to hit a blonde headed girl I knew.
“ Excuse me!” she yelled and wiped the beer off her legs. I remembered her so well. Heather L. She used to be my best friend. We were friends up to 9th grade. She met Ronnie Steven’s–the star football player and had left me.
“ Sorry…I was pushed,” I said shyly.
“ Well watch out! Just because your dad died doesn’t mean you can push and get away with everything.” she screamed and I could tell that she was drunk. I stopped smiling and felt my fists ball up. I felt fresh tears in my eyes and someone’s hand was on my shoulder. I turned around and it was Jay.
“ Don’t let it get to you. She’s a shrew.” he said and smiled.
“ What you say?” Ronnie came to Heather’s side. Jay chuckled and said it again so that he could hear it.
“ What you gonna do about it? You don’t wanna start something you can’t finish, we both know that.” Jay said and grabbed my waist. I went into his arms and we walked outside for fresh air.

“ I’m sorry that your dad died. I know how you feel…my mom and dad are gone.” Jay said as we walked to the boathouse. We sat down on the deck and I put my feet in the water.
“ I’m sorry,” I said and patted his back. He smelled of aftershave and peppermints. He was beautiful.
“ It’s okay…I’m kinda over it and all. I just wish I could have said bye before they died. I was only 13.” he said and I could see his smile vanish. I felt so sorry for him. I scooted over closer to him and did something that I haven’t did in years. I laid my head on his strong shoulder and wrapped my lithe arms around him and we sat there watching the moon. He turned to face me and his soft cool lips touched mine. I wondered was this love or was this what it could be. I didn’t know, but I hoped it would.

“ You and Jay are cute together. You know you have to admit it.” Jesse said as she stared into the mirror with me. She had her short hair in a ponytail and her skin was brilliantly tan.
“ Let’s just hope we get through tonight and see what that leads us next.” I said and put on a plain tee. I jumped into my blue jeans and slipped on my Holister jacket.
“ So how do I look.” I said and let down my hair.
“ Too plain, here let me fix it.” she said and walked over toward me.
“ Take off the jeans and shirt.” She said, “ And put this on.” I grabbed the black dress and put it on. It was a slinky black evening dress. It sparkled where the light hit it. I turned to look in the mirror. I saw the improvement. I looked more elegant and supple and just a hint of sultry.
“ Thanks Jess,” I smiled and went to the closet to get some shoes. I grabbed ballet flats which went good with the dress. I slipped them on and glanced at the clock. It was 8:30 and the concert started at 9. I heard Jays car pull up in the driveway next to mine. I darted down stairs and went to go get my purse that was at the coffee table.
“ Tel

Open Question: Best plants for Riverside, CA?
I’m trying to landscape my house, but am undecided on what types of plants to use. We live in Lake Elsinore, CA where the winters are in the 30’s and the summers are in the 100’s. I’m thinking more along the lines of palms and stuff like that because they tend to last through the weather, but I don’t want to fill the whole place with them. I want some type of color, flowers, something. Any suggestions?

 Me: So, Lexi and I are looking for houses to buy. Ian: Very good. Where at? Me: Dunno. Ann Arbor maybe. Ian: I so guessed that. Me: That’s where us hipsters like to congregate. We play hacky sack and read poetry whilst drinking expensive beer and plotting to boycott everything. Ian: “Gee, Brian, what are we going to boycott tonight?” Me: “Well, the auto industry is making somewhat of a comeback with electric cars… Aren’t those batteries poisonous? They could pollute our water!” Ian: Haha, you’re boycotting environmentally friendly things. Me: It takes a real pro to do that. Ian: Next you should boycott water. Think of all the people who could be living in the great lakes if water wasn’t polluting the whole thing, making it uninhabitable. Me: Or people could drown in it! Ian: That bastard. Water. Me: It must be stopped. It and it’s pro-hydration agenda cannot be allowed to continue! Ian: Yep. Time to take a hair drier to lake michigan. Evaporate dat shit. Oh. And find a way to END RAIN. Me: Hey, I don’t deal
