Bozena Polish American Restaurant In Lindenhurst NY My husband and I have eaten at Bozena Polish American Restaurant many times and we love their food! All their food is homemade. Not fresh-frozen and microwaved. The waitstaff is great and we never had any problems. My favorite dish is their Beef Stroganoff. Very tender and tasty. Their Hungarian potato pancakes are huge and so delicious! Browse their menu and you will see they have a large assortment of cold and hot appetizers, soups and salads. Many choices of Beef, Pork, Veal, chicken and fish main entreés. They also have a children's menu. Can't dine in? No problem! They have a take-out menu for your convenience. They also have catering services. My former boss had our Christmas Party there once and the service and food was perfect...

You Don't Have A Budget And You Wonder Why You Can't Buy A House? So many people these days do not scrutinize what they spend. You need to sit down and evaluate what you spend each week and on what. I know plenty of people that can't buy a house. Why?...... They spend an upwards of $300.00 a month on Starbucks. That is crazy! You are only adding to their profits. What is more important, equity or caffeine? Gotta get my nails done. $100.00 a month to get nails done? Why? A manicure is all you need. That costs $7 to $10 every 2 weeks. Do you really need back-scratcher nails? It's not good for your real nails anyway. Getting a manicure will keep your real nails healthy and they will grow because of it. "Oh, I need those $100 jeans!" Really? Why? Enough said on that subject. $600.00 a mont...

Don't Give Up...You Will Get Results! I have had the T-Mobile family plan cell phone service for almost 2 years. I've never had a dropped call or any other problems and was always happy with their customer service....until yesterday. Back in October of 2009, my son's cell phone stopped working for no reason. He got the dreaded white, flashing screen. No problem. I went to our local T-Mobile store in Lindenhurst, NY and they exchanged it for me. In January of 2010, the same thing happened again. Yesterday, the same thing. This time I wanted a different Nokia model as comparable to the one he had. I wasn't looking for an upgrade, just a comparable priced phone. The store called customer service and I spoke with the representative. She repeated over and over that there is no solution and ...

Finding A Realtor To Help Sell Your Home In Babylon, West Babylon & Lindenhurst Long Island, Isn't Rocket Science... A Realtor works for you, the seller, plain and simple. Here are some things that are crucial in getting your home sold: My job is to make sure you get 12 pictures of your home into our local MLS system. Not 1, 3 or 6, but 12. They are to be clear and  they have to showcase each room. If a picture is too close-up, like just showing a bed and not the rest of the room, it won't give a clear description of that particular room. Internet Marketing - Just having your home on our local MLS is not enough. Coldwell Banker has over 12 websites. Once your home is listed on the MLS, your home will then be fed into our other websites. This is key because there are a lot of buyers that...

Short Sale Federal Program To Start April 5th, 2010 For those of you that do not know, the Obama administration is trying to encourage home owners to take the short sale route to avoid foreclosure. In short, (no pun intended :)) a short sale is when you have to sell your home for less than what you owe on your mortgage. It's also better on your credit than a foreclosure. As of now, it will take 3 to 5 years before you can get a mortgage. With a foreclosure, you are looking at, at least 10 years or more before you can get another mortgage. This new short sale program is also to curtail fraud among the mortgage banking system. Beginning April 5th, lenders will have to consult with real estate practicioners to assess home values and a minimum acceptable offer. Then they must accept any of...
