Well crap. I wasn't supposed to announce that, especially not on facebook, and now one of the producers is upset with me. Today just went from great to suck in about two seconds flat.
Dawn: I think a date should be in a real fancy restaurant, then champagne at a night club with a floor show, then ballroom dancing. Joyce: Unfortunately, we're not dating in a movie from the thirties.

Spike's Bitches 47: Someone Dangerous Could Get In
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
Plei, we know what they paid 7 years ago. They bought high and I do feel for them, but if they really want to sell right now, I really don't think they are going to be able to get what they are asking. Maybe in a few more years but not now. My real estate agent is going to call their agent and say that they are able to make a more reasonable counter offer we are still interested, but that his market research does not support their price. We'll see.

Yay, Debet.
Sean, I'm sorry.

Great news, Debet! Three cheers for early detection.
Did they tell you not to announce it, Sean? Because they can't ask you to be both writer and telepath.

Okay, I've traded a couple of emails with him. No real harm done, and not too big of a deal - he hadn't told those who hadn't been accepted yet, but was in the middle of sending those emails out, when he saw my post and gave me a verbal slap on the wrist. All is mostly better. That was a whole little emotional roller coaster ride just there.

Sean, I'm happy for the final result and remember - while stuff on the internet is impossible to eradicate, at this level it's probably easy enough to take down before anyone you don't want to see it has.
And Tom, I'm so sorry. Can you take some time off? give your sanity some time to regroup and maybe look into photography as a vocation (or paid avocation)?

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Tom that sucks.
Belated congrats and glad the leak didn't turn out to be too awful, Sean!
Thanks for the absinthe advice. All I need is sugar cubes.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I found a "Deaf event" here. Some Penn State ASL students are running an ASL story time at the library. It doesn't really count, because I don't think there will be any Deaf people there, but it'll be good enough, because I am not driving five hours just to go to an event for a class that I'm only taking for fun.

Plei, we know what they paid 7 years ago.

We'll see.
How much they owe will be the kicker. I mean, the lowball non-offer on our place was over what we paid, but less than what we owed. (HELOC, as the market crashed RIGHT after we'd signed papers on the house we're in now, and we'd done the then-typical juggle of HELOC for a down with plans to sell ASAP, only ASAP failed to happen for a number of reasons that weren't predictable. In hindsight, we wish we'd listed as is as soon as we'd closed on the house we live in. Oh well.)
Fingers crossed that they can afford to meet you part way to the market value.
