Spike's Bitches 24: I'm Very Seldom Naughty.
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Mostly lurking...
Ok...I have something to do...this is a little better.
Heather, I'd be happy to take a look at it. Send it to my profile addy.

Ah, the workplace, where you can't as easily say, "This blows, I'm leaving!" Grown-up-hood is not as fun as I thought it would be when I was a kid.

HAHA! The people we are buying the house from, the ones who stalled us on the counter offer and left us hanging all day long while their agent was "on jury duty" only to come back with another offer (which we suspect was fake to scare us into offering list price) on the table at 4:30?
Now they want to know if there is any flexibility on the close because their condo isn't finished yet. Karma ahoy!
No flexibility, sorry dudes. Also, you should just be happy we went with a SEVENTY day close period instead of 30-60 days.
You'd best be packing.

Enjoy the retribution, Nora.
I certainly hope you told them that you'd get back to them in a few days... make 'em wait a bit before your big, dramatic, karmic "NO!"

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights
Two unrelated questions for the hivemind:
1. DH bought our plane tickets for the flight to Alabama on Sunday using our Chase credit card. The card expired last month, and I got my new card, but his was either lost in the mail or confused with junk mail and tossed. We didn't catch the problem till Sunday, and since then I've been trying to get a replacment card, since it's an e-ticket, and we need the card used to purchase the tickets to get our boarding passes.
Originally Chase was supposed to FedEx the new card Monday to arrive yesterday. I called yesterday evening, and due to some kind of system glitch it didn't get sent out on Monday. Now it's supposed to arrive today. So for the second day in the row, I'm basically a prisoner in my house. If it's not here today, I'm screwed, because tomorrow I *have* to spend a big chunk of the day out of the house--I have PT, I'm delivering a meal to a couple from our church who had a baby, I have to return some library books before we leave, etc.
The Chase guy from yesterday thought that the airline would accept my Chase card just as well as DH's. Is that true? Can I stop pulling my hair out?
2. Is Annabel too young for short time-outs? I've been putting her in the playpen or exersaucer for 5-10 minutes when she gets into things she's been repeatedly told to avoid because I'm at a loss for anything else to do about it. (And yes, I do try distraction. Doesn't always work.)

OMG, that would have been so awesome! No, I couldn't say "NO" fast enough.
Note to self: retain Sparky as Resident Evil Genius. (gotta have that evil brain on my side)
