Yeah, I think that's what happened, --t, not that I fully understood it, exactly--the closest I feel to getting locked out of tradition like that might be either Super Bowl Sunday and not having a team or taking Independence Day exceptionally literally.
You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Wire transfer went through. Escrow closed. I own the house.

Our wings are not tired.
Champagne all round on the house closing, but none for Teppy because she already has the good drugs.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Wow, congrats, David!
I am watching the Emmys and was caused physical harm by the announcement that "up next, David Boreanaz and Sarah Michelle Gellar celebrate 30 years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer."

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Huh, Boreanaz has had some...stuff done to his face, I see.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That seems amazingly fast! Congrats!
30 years of Buffy the Vampire Slayer.

Dang David, that was so fast! Didn’t you just put the offer on it like, last week??
Enjoy some good drugs, Teppy!!

Yes, but I used a Securities Backed Loan (SBL) to make a cash buy and now I'm going to refinance it with a regular mortgage (which will pay off the SBL).
It was five days from bid to close.
It's been an absolute blizzard of DocuSign! (and texts, emails and calls)
