Hey goodcarma, all I am saying is that if someone built me a $200,000 plus home, I would at least put an ad in the paper thanking everyone, and letting them know how greatful I am for all of their hard work, and or sending them a card, or letter. Something, verses nothing always seem to help. That way it will keep the rest of brow beaters in town quiet. You know, the ones that did not voulnteer. Probably someone like yourself. Don't you think that donanting a substantial amount, deserves some form of gratitude? Times are tight for everyone right now, not just the Devries. A simple thank you from that family would have put the fire out on a lot of these hot heads around here. Don't you think. And as stated before, if you can read above, I can give a r_ts a_s, if they say thank you or not. I've got the big man watching down on me for my good deeds. Don't need your 2 cents. So go smoke that in your pipe!

Just out of curiosity, I had seen on t.v. a few weeks ago that people that had received Extreme Makeover Homes, where now in foreclosure. The reason is becasue their taxes increased.
Hello people! Did anyone bother to think about that? If theses people are less fortunate, and can barely maintain what they all ready have, how can they afford the property taxes when they are increased? And you better believe Uncle Sam wants his share.
What about the heating cost? Before the Devries only had heat on the main floor.
People that are less fortunate need to be educated. Will the Devries receive financial counseling? Or will they be left to figure things out for themselves?
That is what was lacked on television by the other people. People that had received these homes were not educated. Therefore they were all losing their homes. They said they wished someone would have told them that their taxes were going to quadripple.
The extreme team should change their strategy I think, and instead of sending people on vacations, send them to money management classes, and teach them how to balance a check book, and learn how to save for those rainy days.
I watched the show, and yes it was extremely quick, but it all looked good in the long run. The community really came together when there was need. I think the Devries family deserved the home after watching the show, and I also think that the Devries family should be very thankful to all of the contractors and volunteers that volunteered their time and materials, to build their home, and I am pretty sure they are.
Does the extreme makeover team provide the families with the list of contractors and volunteers that helped to put their home together? If not, then they should.
I still have not received my thank you card, but that's ok, I am a strong believer in carma.
Either way, Merry Christmas, and Happy Holidays to the Devries, and to everyone in AL. - A 12 hour shift volunteer of the Devries family.

Why should Greg Moen, owner of RE/MAX get a break? Get real AL. Just because his wife is Rhonda Moen? Hey Moen, stop looking for deferred payments, pay your bills like the rest of us folks around here. Tiger Hills is a flop. Why do you think Tim Rameker ran from around here? It would be great if the developments would fly around here, but let's face it, we still have undeveloped lots in Sundance, and out in Indian Hills. Tiger Hills will never be developed in any of us middle agers life time, and that goes for Wedge Cove as well. Hey Rhonda, stop sticking your nose in the City's business when it comes to your husband, isn't that a conflict of interest, since you work for the City? Get a loan like the rest of us, or get a 2nd job like some of us. PAY YOUR BILLS is what I am saying!!!!!

Why remove my comments, this is AMERICA right? If Mel can speak his mind with his signage around town why can't I. Hey City of Albert Lea, did Mel ever pull that permit to remodel that building on Front Street? Please check into that.... We're really tired of the wealthy taking advantage of the law. Mel- pay up sucka!
