Vortex, have you gotten any news about the window problem with the condo and when you get to actually move in?

Spike's Bitches 36: Did I Sully Our Good Name?
[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.
Did you dip water from whichever river it was that caught fire?
The Cuyahoga. No one's ever going to let that river forget that incident.
There were a lot of amateur fireworks here, but fortunately we did get a little rain Monday, so it wasn't quite so paper dry. We're still busily working on the drought record, though.
I think I can call last night's party our best 4th ever, because we had enough sparklers that the bucket of water we used to hold the burnt-out sparklers caught on fire. All the sparkler sticks started merrily burning away. It was a pity we didn't have any marshmallows, but they probably would have ended up seasoned with gunpowder.
I can verify that the burning water bucket was AWESOME.
It caught on fire as I was leaving, but I came back to see it merrily flame on.
Also, there was a fender bender on the Ship Canal Bridge, so I got to see the tail end of the Lake Union fireworks on my way home. All told, it was an EXCELLENT 4th.
Cass was standing across from me over the burning water bucket, cackling delightedly.
Might want to double-check that drawer.

Vortex, have you gotten any news about the window problem with the condo and when you get to actually move in?
well, there's been yet another clusterfuck. I was supposed to close tomorrow, but it's been pushed back again because my mortgage guy isn't handling business.
Oh, that sucks. I think the suggestion in Natter is correct: martini time.
The Cuyahoga. No one's ever going to let that river forget that incident.
When Greg asked me to marry him and move up here, I said something like, "To a city that sets their river on fire?"
To which he replied, "Twice, actually, and it's much cleaner now."
It was really the only thing I knew about Cleveland, except that it supposedly rocks.
Oh man, Vortex. Bleh.
Well, I have been shopping and ended up getting a couple of Chocolate Pens, a feather crop type thing, and a set of 52 scratchers with kinky suggestions on them. I had wanted a set of "Foreplay Dice", but the only set they had were in Spanish.
Tomorrow is work and then All-Star FanFest FUN! I'm all bouncy when I should be working on homework.
Suzi, I'm so psyched for you!
So know what I've been doing for the last two hours? Combing through one of my credit reports after discovering that a couple of DexH's credit cards with HUGE BALANCES are showing up on my report and affecting my credit rating. Gargh.
I've emailed him and disputed them on Experian, but now I may have to bite the bullet and order credit reports from the other two agencies so that I can set the record straight on all of them.
Argh. Really not fun.
Argh KT credit woes sucketh. I had a great time at your place last night. On the way home the neighborhood around the intersection of the 110 and the 105 was quite spectacularly illuminated by illegal fireworks. I'm tempted to pull off the road at the top of that carpool ramp to watch the show next year.
