You were very nearly devoured by a giant demon snake. The words 'let that be a lesson' are a tad redundant at this juncture.

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.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

while burlesque dancers greased poles

How does one dance with a greased pole? I would have fallen right off.

possibly rhetorical question

They were on ladders. It's a ceremonial greasing, to keep people from climbing them. But you know, everything's a party here.

Yeah, that's at the start of Mardi Gras, right?

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

Fuck. I spoke to soon. The appraisal came in at 13,000 less than we needed it to. Not sure what this means yet.

Ah. Understood.

Oh, fuck, sj.

That bites, sj. I hope it's no big deal.

Lundi Gras, Nora.

sj,

here's hoping you can appeal or get your real estate agent to generate different comps.

Our wings are not tired.

Sj, if it had come in 13k less for me, I would have had to make that money up in cash OR work with the seller to lower her price. I really hope it works out for you.

Eta: just remembered that the closing costs were a lot more than what I had anticipated (I had misunderstood the original estimate) and I ended up negotiating with the mortgage co to add a quarter of a point to my rate to cover the rest. So I think you will definitely have options!

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."

for both of my homes, I had to take out a 2nd mortgage, to get the main mortgage down to 20% of the sale price.

so yes, there are a lot of options.
