Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
Popping in to wish happy belated 1st birthdays to Annabel and Owen!!!!!! One whole year. Time has flown.
Plei, I'll be thinking good thoughts for you, Paul, and Princess Tickybox today. I've been bouncing around the office all morning.
And I'm off! Toodles, everyone.

Cinnamon Toast Crunch:
Nora and Tom, congratulations on impending home-ownership! I'm so happy for you both.
Here's hoping that some of that luck will rub off on DF and I.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
I can see the appeal of moving into an already-nicely-decorated house, and not having to worry about replacing wallpaper or carpet or anything. But complaining that the previous tennants had ugly furniture is only relevant if they move out and leave it behind, thus forcing you to carry a ton of their crap down to the sidewalk before you can even think about moving your stuff in. Er, hypothetically speaking.

Thrive to spite them
Some of the people on Sell This House just get weird. There was one couple whose house was filthy. Not just messy, filthy. When the couch was moved you could see where it was because of the outline in dog hair. And they had done nothing to clean it up or do anything about the dog smell and couldn't figure out why it wasn't selling.
The Sell this House team did more than anything I've seen. Ripped up carpet, steam cleaned carpet, did some things with the windows. I think in the master bedroom they ripped up the carpet and ended up painting the floor, there were massive dustbunnies all over the place -- the whole room was done in white like a fancy beach house or spa. It was incredible. And the woman hated it, she kept going on about how that was her favorite room and now it made her want to cry and they were never going to sell her house.
Of course every person who walked through the house raved about the bedroom.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

That's the episode I was thinking of!! The pregnant woman! That house was, in a word, GUH-ROW-DEE. Remember the walls were YELLOW with smoke and nicotine. Guhross.
