I...was about to suggest trying to find a deaf event on-line to attend via Skype.
Then I realized the participants could freaking TYPE. Good lord, la idiota.
Need more caffeine.
That problem does seem to reflect be a lack of foresight in the instructor's part -- there's a school for the deaf in KC, so an ASL instructor here would have lots of events to choose from, but...
OMG, smonster, WHAT THE FUCKING HELL?
OMG drama llama is trying to get me fired. Too much to go into on iPhone, but including trying to spread a rumor that I kept my job by sleeping with my boss. Fucking toxic.
Yeah, that sounds like ground for firing Drama Llama.
smonster, that is evil. I hope karma kicks him in the ass.
We received a counter offer that is an absolute joke. So, we're probably going to think about it for a couple of days and maybe counter offer with something more reasonable, but I need to try to deal with the fact that we're probably just going to have to walk away from this. They had a chimney fire a few years back and they're trying to count the repairs that they made after that fire as upgrades. It was probably covered by insurance. I'm shaking right now, and I have to pull myself together to go babysit.
I second the OMG SMG.
And Tom, what I can I say except "fuckity, fuckity fuck"?
sj, that sucks. Try for the counteroffer, but that's ridic. I'm sorry; I know you guys really want this house. Maybe they're just trying to play hardball.
Thanks, Erin. We bid 20k less than they wanted, which was reasonable based on what similar houses in the area, and they counter offered 1k less than their asking price. This house just came on the market, but many we have seen have been on the market for more than a year. Maybe someone else will jump at it for the full asking price, but I doubt it.
1k less? They're not very good at this...
That's why I'm so pissed. It was an insulting counter offer both in terms of the money and the way it was worded.
sj, I don't think they know they're supposed to *negotiate*. Coming down $1K is more of a fuck you than a negotiation.
smonster, WTF? Please let drama llama know that you'll be looking into a civil suit for slander. The law offices of Vortex & MFNlaw, P.C. will be more than happy to scare the shit out of her.
