Buffy ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
msbelle, you may (or says the cynic) be out the shopping trip for houses.
But god knows if I buy this place, it'll nee furnishing for the short term. If only tons of metal shelves for the basement storage. (It'll need more, but that will be balanced with infrastructure stuff.)
Aren't y'all sick of this yet??
It's East-West oriented, which I love, though I know it costs more for heat and cool. But I love light more. Front is east.
sara and house! Sittin' in a tree! No, not that House!
Whee! Totally freakout worthy, and exciting. I've done it several times now, always freakout, always exciting.
I made the rest of the family watch the link, Kat. Perfection. The reason for my Sesame Street love.
sara forgive me for saying this, but you are adorable.
To a Peteish degree.
Corwood, that's a terrible tragedy. I'm sorry for your town.
Sara, I like the house, and I see why you like it.
We had no AP at all in my school. A few years after i graduated from High School, it started an IB program. I could ready before going to school but they also had to send me for remedial handwriting tutorials.
I have to say that one of the most memorable school years of my life was, I'm convinced, an exercise in social engineering. In my junior high, there were three grade 8 classes, and one of those classes was taught by the grade nine teachers and taught on a different floor than all the other grade eight classes, so we were kind of isolated. That class had a really high proportion of all the overacheiving, smart kids, and a high proportion of borderline and problem kids. Then they threw a very strange Spanish exchange student for fun. I was in that class. Strangely, with the exception of one, who didn't last the year, we got along like a house on fire. We kind of ran amok, and we got away with incredibly weird stuff.
I will so totally cry if it slips away. And spend the next freaking YEAR finding its equiv. I knew I was screwed when after thinking about the roof, I thought "well, if it needs a new roof, I won't put it in the down payment (because I'm making 10% but not 20% ) and use the check mom sent (for a ridic amount but...I'm lucky and they wanna) and I'll just reroof!" (After googling, of course.) And if the bathroom plumbing is wonky, that too!
This is why I am single, y'all.
Burrell, Laura and Trudy, you are forgiven. Because I am insane in this. So out of my element.
Sara, being terrified is a little normal. I thought I was going to pass out after the first offer I submitted on a house.
Some really great advice that someone gave me: it's all new and terrifying to you, but to your realtor, lawyer, mortgage person it's all routine business. If you feel you have good ones, they can help guide you through the process.
