...recs from bank? Like, the one I do checking with? Wouldn't they just say "With us! With us!"
Don't know any recent homeowners in my area. Don't have a realtor yet, but plan to get one, I suppose. Maybe. If I"m actually doing this. Er. Eep?
Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

The ice dancing commentators seem to be making a point of explaining why this Indian routine isn't offensive.

You are... Seattle? Plei?
Your bank. Or any bank. Of course, they will say "go with us." You don't have to. You can do this with multiple places. Basically, you want a good faith estimate from them after they run your numbers, to give you an idea of what it might cost you. Note: you are NOT committing to the mortgage! That comes later. First, I got pre-qualified/approved. That requires less paperwork. Then, I went in with a monthly I'd be willing to do, and how much I'd be willing to put down, and they ran the #s. And we played with them a bit. And then I found a house and we worked that. And that's when the crazy official documentation begins.
Probably varies state to state on what docs are needed, but the early stage are just about figuring out your range. So unless you have a specific property in mind (in which case, you jump to the docs) it's really a math exercise.
And ??!

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
I remember watching Kidnapped when it aired. I had forgotten about Eugene Tooms and the Amazing Maleeni.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
If they're calling it Indian, Hil, that's fail right there. Even if it is Aboriginal Canadian, you really don't wanna go that road.
Okay, bacon, toffee, and chocolate? NOMNOMMYNOMNOM.

No, different team. The Russians' routine was a "tribute" to Australian Aborigines. One of the American teams did an Indian-from-India routine.

They meant Indian as in from India, I believe.

The theme this year for the original dance was folk dance. Most of the teams went the obvious route and did an interpretation of a folk dance from their own country. Some did other countries' dances without much issue, like the Canadian team that did flamenco. And then there were the Russians.
