Happy birthday, Laura!
I call shenanigans on the blackface. I know Russia has a very different relationship to racial minorities than North America does, but they're on foreign territory. Do your homework. It's not like the aversion to blackface falls into "Oh, Mammy" territory--it's something different, but part and parcel in hand with the aversion to yellowface too.
It might be okay in Russia, but they must have noticed the stamps in their passports.
Happy Birthday Laura!
Sort of catching up...
In general, the Northeast Corridor trains are reasonably on time
My train to NYC on Thursday was perfectly on time. My train back last night was two hours late. That sucked. And by the time it occured to me to see if I could trade my ticket in for an Acela ticket, it was too late.
I think sex addiction has less tangible downsides than a gambling addiction, but they do exist
I can't believe none of you watched Dr. Drew's Sex Rehab! Half of those people were literally not getting out of bed for days. Some of them were dealing with more emotional problems.
The seller has accepted the offer! The only conditions they placed were that they want to keep possession of a few items from the backyard that we were going to remove anyway. WIN!
Woo hoo!
Thanks, all.
A good mortgage broker is very valuable. The localistas may know someone.
Happy happy birthday, Laura, with cake and big hugs!
I went with a mortgage broker that my buyer-broker recommended and was approved for way more than I ended up spending -- so that when I went looking, I knew exactly how much I could spend and only was going to look at houses that were at low-to-middle of that price range.
And then, yeah, the first house we visited in person... it can happen!
Heh, sarameg. Money quote:
He actually used the words, 'I am holding Hubble hostage until you read my application.'
I think I'm going to use that to start all my cover letters from now on.
Happy Birthday Laura!
Birthday Happies, Laura!!
