Yay, SJ. I'm glad it's going smoothly, after all this.
One thing that's making my whole house hunting thing less stressful is all the connections I somehow have. My mentor/manager at work is also my RE agent. My minion from old job had a rocky path but bought a house a couple of years ago - and hence has found top-notch inspectors and lawyers. My best friend here moved recently - from the neighborhood I'm leaving to roughly where I'm going - and had great movers. So a lot of the elements that are usually so fraught are pretty smooth for me.
It's just the craxy elderly Polish folks throwing a spanner into the works. Ah well.
and not thrilled with the idea of prednisone, after all I've heard about it
It is a wonder drug. I'm not saying I'd like to take it a long time, but as a short term thing it can really help you.

You somehow have them because you have been there for so many before. That karma thing rocks. I'm so excited for you. As stressful as home buying and owning is, I'm all for it.
{{{{Jessica}}}} Sleep well. You've got all kinds of ~ma stored up for tomorrow. Also, {{Fone}}
Our realtor is someone we have known for a while from the dog park. Our mortgage broker went to high school with and has done 4 house deals for two of our best friends. It makes a stressful thing much less stressful.
And since I can't possibly post any more tonight I am off to bed myself. First I must warn the teens that not all of us are on summer vacation. See Laura putting on the mean mom hat.
Also, basketball rather disappointing tonight. Not surprising, but not the outcome I wanted either.
See, I said I wasn't posting again, and yet.
Robin, what I said to Brenda. What goes around, comes around. I love reading about the good stuff happening in my beloved Buffistas' lives.
G'night, really!
He won't road trip it to NY to see the Yankees/Tigers game.
Tigers are playing the Nationals here this weekend. IJS.
Oh, Jessica, how annoying. But tons and tons of ~ma for tomorrow!
The hospital in Athens had a couple delivery rooms, surrounded by labor rooms. Before you got into a labor room, there was a triage sort of room where they asked me a bunch of questions in Greek while contractions kicked my ass, telling me to do the breathing exercises while answering the questions. @@. I think they have my father's name as "unnhghngh" and my husband's as "aaaiiiieeeehhhh!"
hee! One of my crossword puzzle answers is "PORNO" (clue: blue stuff.)
