lisa, I'm so sorry about Frank. That's heartbreaking.

I'm sorry about Frank, Lisa.

I am alternating between ok and throwingupfeeling re: houses. There is a short-sale on Paine that looks interesting, but...

Well, remember you don't have to decide on something tomorrow! Paine street could be interesting. A friend of mine used to live on that street. With a cat named George!

Heh. It's this one: [link]

It might be tiny, can't tell. And the short sale thing I need to ask about. I know what it is and what the delays can be, but I'm still gonna ask Magan for the odds.

I suspect Magan will really earn her commission with me. And since I'm not a huge buyer, probably not enough. I hope she gets easy multi-million buyers!

It's cute and bright! And 2.5 bathrooms and central ac? Sweet!

I had to stop watching FNL for the night. The last episode almost killed me! Too much emotions. Instead I'm watching last night's Ace of Cakes. Hilarious. I love those guys. And I'm thinking about eating hte rest of the roasted potatoes and carrots I made last night.

The hell? My health insurance has started sending me forms to sign saying that I don't have any other health insurance. But they send a separate form, wanting a new signature, for each claim. In addition to regular doctors appointments, and blood tests, and the recent bunch of x-rays, this means a form every week for physical therapy. I just got one envelope that contained three of these forms. This can't actually be their policy, can it?

Hil, I'd call to find out. That sounds bonkers.

I'm watching an episode of The Guardian to see Simon Baker. This one featured a kid who died of drugs, and there was a pointed scene where friends of the dead kid turn accusingly on one of our protagonists, but they're holding up pictures that say "In Memorium."

Are we supposed to believe that it's an error inside the show's world, or outside? Because if it's inside it looks really sketchy to show all the black kids holding those pics up. And outside? How sloppy.

I also just got a notice from a collection agency about a $42 claim that they say I didn't pay. It's from two years ago. My mom generally takes care of this stuff, so when I get health insurance bills I send them to her, so I can't say for sure whether this $42 was paid or not, but I do know that I haven't gotten any recent bills directly from the insurance company for it, just this collection agency one out of nowhere.

Says something about me that I think WHAT'S WRONG. But since it is likely a foreclosure, it's probably just the bank wanting to recoup losses, not going rate. And my credit is crazy good, my low was 850 (I last had real debt in 1997 for 6 months. I did loan against a cd in 2000 and paid it off early) and I might even be able to make 20% on it , so (my mother just sent me a check. Which she already did, but she did again. Even when I told her it wasn't necessary. But, hey, money. It has been specified I can spend it on anything, not just down payment. ) Sent it off to realtor.

My parents are just doing what their parents did, and lucky to have that option. My paternal g-parents bought mine a car that'd fit me when I was born. When my maternal g-parents died, they left a legacy such that my parents could do the downpayment plus on the house they now own, sans mortgage. Much like me, they could have managed it without, but it was a nice bonus.

I don't have kids myself, but one of these days, I hope to set it up so my real and honorary nieces and nephews can benefit from me similarly.
