If the seller had recent repairs made, there may be a warranty on them.

I hope it's the drywall. That's probably the cheapest fix. What did they do, I wonder. Not use enough nails? My friend whom you met has probably dealt with every kind of contractor known to man since her house burned. She might have someone to recommend.

Oh man, here's hoping!

Yeah, it sounds like they didn't use enough nails or screws, or not the right kind, or something along those lines. If your friend has any local recommendations, we'd certainly welcome them. I spent some time searching through Angie's List on Friday but everyone I called (all the ones I found with decent marks) was booked up for the next few weeks at least, and we kinda need this taken care of soonest.

Oh Kate. Stress you do not need. May the repair process be stress free.

I'd rather go there than go to Comfort Dental Amphitheater.

Productivity has kinda stalled. I got my hair cut at colored - modified A line, dark brown with purple highlights. She straightened it (after asking if that was ok) and I like that look, but I'm looking forward to playing with the curls.

I stopped at the old fashioned candy store that is next door to the salon. I had instructions from CJ to buy him something weird. He gummy brains and blackberry candy corn (so wrong). I ended up with a free cupcake somehow so I took that to K-Bug who is working at Old Navy this afternoon.

Now I'm home and flopped. Ok, I've done some work work and am taking a break, but still, a much less productive afternoon.

I was doing some more googling on albinism--looking up incidence in various populations, etc, and I stumbled upon this incredibly astute question:

People on this forum talk a lot about Albinos and Black people and all in between but noone as actually broached (as far as I can see) the question of What happens when an Albino mixes with a non-Albino Black person? Is anyone aware of this case? Surely most Albinos marry Blacks (since they have to be among Blacks to be "Albinos" in the frst place), and do their kids come out in a "mixed" color or do they all come out Black?

I mean, nothing is wrong with this person's axioms, right? That question is entirely based in fact, and no doubt brings up quite a conundrum.

Or, you know, not.

The precise level of stupidity displayed in the question, and the amount of discussion it garnered not including anything like "Good lord, where did you study life?" meant I needed to poke around the discussion board a little bit more. So, learn from my mistakes--if anything ever leads you in the direction of egyptsearch.com, back away slowly and don't make any sudden moves. Once you're out of range, question if the path that led you there was worth even a first step.

Oh geez, Kate. I'm sorry for all the fun (not!) at once. I hope it turns out to be simple and fixable and on the seller.

Theo, I'm so sorry about your brother's sweet lab. And Cass, about your dad's little dog, too. It is a bad week for pets.

check this out. a comparison of the grade levels of the nominees' wives at the RNC and the DNC.

spoiler: FLOTUS' was at the highest grade level in history at 12th grade level. Ann Romney's was the lowest for a potential First Lady at 5th grade.

What in the world, ita !? The stupid, it burns.

Oh, Kate, that's just awful. I'm sorry. That's a lot to deal with.

Well, I think I had kinda a productive day. It's the kind of productive where I didn't actually finish, but I made a bunch of progress on stuff. Hopefully tomorrow I'll be able to finish multiple projects, and then I'll feel all good? I dunno.

Mostly I think I waited too long to start the spaghetti squash and I'm going to be very hungry by the time it finishes baking.

Poorly-installed drywall sounds more dealable than Major House Issues, at least?

I’m crossing my fingers for just drywall, too. Did the home inspector go up into the ceiling/rafters?
