To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

You know, I really thought that once escrow on the house closed, the screw ups with the bank and the escrow officer and the real estate agent would stop, but NSM.

The escrow officer I was assigned was supposed to send me the final papers and a sizable refund check via Fedex overnight delivery on Thursday, but when I emailed her about an hour ago asking what had happened since I didn't get them, she still had the papers and the check in her office. I know this, because she is now sending a messenger to my office with them, which means I can't leave until he gets here.

Also, my insurance company decided to keep charging me renter's insurance, even though I have had 5 million conversations with them about the fact that I was buying a house.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

If it's any comfort, Perkins, my experience with house buying and refinancing is that this kind of shit always goes wrong. I don't know why.

That's the pain / That cuts a straight line down through the heart / We call it love

I could get into specifics, but...eh.

Fair enough. I hope you find someone better soon!

Have I mentioned that they filed the title deed with me listed as Real Name, an unmarried man?

For several years I had a longass rant in a file on my computer, titled Never Buy a House. Home-buying is the proof that Murphy Was Right.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

It looks so easy on TV! They just sign one paper, if that, and then hug. NSM in real life?

Good lord, Perkins, that is some seriously frustrating shit. Hope it gets resolved soon.

Fair enough. I hope you find someone better soon!

Thanks! I just don't know how to get into it without making it seem like I'm raking him over the coals for being an asshole, which is not something I want to do, esp. when I think he's a good guy, and other folks on here know him. But I also feel like my beef with him is completely legitimate (for me). So.

I may take a break from therapy for a while a put the $$ towards a car. Independence over introspection!

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

As long as we're doing this, did everyone see Katy Perry and Russell Brand are splitsville? Sad.

I knew the divorce was a foregone conclusion weeks ago when they went on talk shows to deny they were breaking up.

People who are actually happy with a situation don't need to issue press releases about how happy they are with it.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

interesting fact about Snooki, she's not Italian at all - she's adopted from Chile. I mean I get her family is probably Italian American and that is how she was raised and the culture she grew up in, but it seems odd to me that she is now help up as this picture of the Italian-American Jersey Shore kid and yeah, nsm. Like the stuff with her weight, he body-type and shape are not gonna fit with the Italian-American ideals, she South American and there is only so much that can be changed with that. (see also, my son wanting a spikey hair-do)

Other thing - that jail time for the mom thing, that is shit that keeps me awake at night. What with mac running away from time to time.

Mine went scarily fast and smoothly, if you discount the flaky seller who didn't even show up to closing. And the kitchen roof caving in and fixed before I knew about it. I was lucky.

Nails done. Dogs let out.

Now to see what my brother wants in chat....
