Word of the Day

Foreclosure (noun) – A legal proceeding where a mortgage is foreclosed – foreclose is the transitive verb meaning to keep someone (a mortgagee, such as a homeowner) from having the right to redeem a mortgage, to hinder, to deter, to thwart (from Middle English and Old French, but it goes back to Latin foris)
Word in a Sentence: I await the outcome of the bank’s foreclosure before finalizing my spectacular suicide.
Your turn! I bet you can be more graphic than I.
“Some days, you just want the dragon to win.”

The week before Christmas - of all times - we received notice from the mortgage company that we had to come up with over $1,200 before December 31st or face foreclosure on our home. Scary time, very scary time, indeed!
