Hearing Nothing at the moment
It comes from this article: Why Humans (and Baboons) Stress So Much:
“For 99 percent of the beasts on this planet, stress is about three minutes of screaming in terror after which it’s either over with or you’re over with. And we turn it on for 30-year mortgages.”
Perfect.
The irony -- for me -- is that I'm not particularly stressed out about my mortgage; pretty sure I'll continue to be able to pay it. Book deadlines, on the other hand, have the potential to turn me into a hard little ball of stress.
No, I don't have any book deadlines. Today.
Okay, now I just stressed myself out.

the morning news people on CBS and ABC think that some stress may be due to a lack of understanding about why their mortage got so much more expensive over night: aka lenders have decided that they want their money sooner than later...
I think that thosepeople who thought they got agreat deal in terms of no costs and whoare now swallowing a larger bullet; causing them to go into forclosure are suffering. All I acan thinka bout in that area(since it is devastating) is that they contact that non profit company that helps you renegociate and pay off half and then walk away without further problems.
