Ugh, I'm so aggravated about the condo. First of all, we just, as of this month, paid out 20% of principal of what we paid for the place, and I called to request they take of the PMI.
Get a call back and is seems they will only do that if they do an appraisal (at our expense) and if we've paid 80% of THAT number.
Which, since we're underwater on the mortgage is not even remotely happening. I'm so pissed at myself for falling for the biggest long con in history, the fucking real estate market.
The tenant is probably moving in I think? At a reduced rent than advertised? She sure has a lot of questions. Somehow all our window treatments/curtain rods disappeared in the massive junk haul and repainting process, so we'll need to get those done (If the tenant is willing, I'd be happy enough to let her pick out what she wants and install it, and take it out of her rent. Otherwise, I dunno). Our push mower has disappeared. Our washer/dryer was stolen.
If this tenant doesn't work out, I'm contacting my bank about a short sale. Failing that, I kinda just want to default. I've "invested" over $70,000 (just in principal ALONE- much more than that in interest and maintenance) that I will never, ever get return on.
It could be worse, I guess- I could still be living in the fucking place. Ugh. Ah well. Everything's a gamble, right? Can't count on shit no matter what it is.

More being patient. I am so not good at being patient.
Oh wait Jilli, now that we know you are a sound person, you can always press the skip forward buttons to move ahead a couple days! It's right there next to the PLAY button. There is rewind too, in case you missed what someone said.

Funny, teach a kid about wireless mics, and some of the stress disappated. Interesting. If only the classes were hands on instead of theory, I might go for the Professor racket.

DON'T TEASE.

How far back can I rewind? Can I pause? Pete and I both have some deadline stuff where a PAUSE button would be an immense help.
Aw, Nora, I'm so sorry. I know so many people who are upside-down on their mortgages and stuck. And the banks won't do a damn thing to help them. I hope this tenant works out for you.

Well, there isn't anyway to pause time. But we can make it go real slow. But it involves you falling from a great height.

That ... is not so helpful.
I just sent off the file for the first show! Let's hope the nice lady likes it!
Here's to the nice lady, Jilli!
She will not like it. Sorry to be the one to tell you. Nope. But... She will LOVE IT!!! And squish it, and name it "George". C'mon, it's you Jilli, how could she not like it?
I am having chocolate cake for breakfast. Cheers to you, Bill Cosby!
Nora, I am so sorry for all this shit. It drives me crazy that in most cases to be considered for a refi, you have to stop making your payments. I don't know if you ever watch Suze Orman, or listen to Clark Howard, but they address these kinds of situations all the time. You might find some guidance in one of those places.

"THAT'S nutrition!"
Jilli, knowing your fabulousness and having witnessed the snarkfest with you and StuntHusband online and in person? Slam dunk, methinks. I know I'd listen to it.
