You know what freaks me out? Trusting the mortgage holder to pay my insurance and taxes. It unnerves me to get bills that I am to ignore.
Dawn: Is that supposed to scare me? Spike: Little tremble wouldn't hurt.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The boys made a pact that if one was adopted and if he felt that the family was a good family, he would try to convince them to go adopt the other one. Almost a year has gone by and the adopted boy only recently told his family about the pact, he has deemed them a good family.
Oh my god. That's so incredible!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Okay, so maybe the Calvin and Hobbes fic didn't make me cry, but the adoption story is making me tear up.

You should keep an eye on this. I know of cases where mortgage companies pay late then raise the withholding to cover the penalties. (Note this is profitable two ways - interest on withholding until they actual pay the taxes and such, plus a margin they are allowed which is a percent, not a fixed amount.)

God, how could you say no to a request like that from your son?

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb
I know it is amazing and all, but so heart-breaking too. The little boy took his job so seriously. They have no faith that they will be placed with a good family and he really wanted to make sure before trying to help a friend out of an orphanage.
The family did say, that they hope their soon to be new son did not make a similar pact with another boy in the orphanage over the last year. I think the family has 2 other children already, so this will be 4.
