Yay, Nora's dad! How is he doing?
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

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.

Ok! Still weak, but we'll take any progress as good news.
We are driving thru Worcester on the Pike right now...(waves at sj.)

(waves back at Nora) I know you don't have time to stop, but if you are ever visiting and you do, you know you're always welcome.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Safe driving to Nora! And best better-fast vibes to your dad.
sj, this house seems less and less like a place you'd want to live. If you do wind up there, you need somebody to chase out all the nasty feelings left behind by the old people. The petty kind of stinks. I hope you find a wonderful even-better place on your open house tour.
bonny, the right dog is out there, just waiting for you to find him. Or her? And you gave this guy a lovely day, meanwhile.
Maria, all my good thoughts are with you.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
sj, the petty and the nasty are just getting ridiculous. Though I bet that if you do somehow end up in that house after all, the neighbors would be a font of gossip about the former owners. Somehow I doubt they were just all sweetness and light to everyone around them right up until the moment they put that house on the market.

We'll have to burn sage or something to get rid of the nasty. The place we looked at today is pretty much a no go. We're re-looking at one tomorrow that we passed by the first time because there was no basement. And then looking at another one that I already don't like, but TCG wants to look at. If there was a sudden flood of new places onto the market, walking away from the pettiness would be so much easier.

JZ, I love the way you think.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I seem to have decided on Southern food for dinner -- blackened tofu, collard greens, and cornmeal waffles. (I didn't go grocery shopping, so I'm making do with what I've got. The collard greens were supposed to be part of a dish a few days ago that I never got around to making. Everything else is made from stuff I have on hand.)

After a third try the seller's agent finally answered all the questions. The seller is willing to do 1 tiny repair that we asked for but not another major thing.

I know you hate having to keep dealing with your current situation, sj, but it sounds like time to walk away.

Ginger, it may be. We're going to have that discussion with our agent tomorrow and in the meantime figure out what the fixes we will need to make will cost us eventually. If we do continue we're probably going to run into another wall when the banks appraiser does his/her thing. I doubt the appraisal is going to match our offer and if it is lower, the sellers are most likely not going to want to come down. TCG definitely wants to walk away, but we're going to at least think about it overnight.
