Thanks, everyone! I'm corresponding with the seller now. She seems to think the damage was in one of the bedrooms in which she *didn't* replace the ceiling, which is at odds from what I understood from the contractor who came out on Saturday, but it sounds like she's willing to fix it either way. What a relief!
Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

Yay! In other good homeownership news, apparently somebody wants to rent our house, which would be a great relief financially in the sort term, and their plans would still allow us to try to sell the house next spring. (And maybe they'll fall in love with it and buy it themselves!)
Also Kate, if your long-term plan for the lawn does not include weeds, I'd imagine that at some point the lawnmower will be useful.

Kate, that's great -- smooth transaction and fixing ~ma to you.
Cash, that sounds like a cool job, congrats!
msbelle, pulling for you; I hope they are reasonable and that your anxiety is gone about that, well, all ready, but if not, soon.
javachick - yikes. That's a lot of car time.
I'm stil waiting to hear whether I have a new grand-nephew yet! But the mom-to-be did post that they'd arrived at the hospital. I guess she was in labor at home for a long while last night.
ETA: Congrats, flea!!

So, my sister, who is in law school, just passed some test that is called the MPRE.
It is taking all the strength I have not to make an MPREG joke on her Facebook page.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

flea, excellent news on the house front! Also, I salute your restraint vis-a-vis the MPREG joke. (Is this the sister we know?)

Rats, I failed the eye test during my attempt to renew my driver's license today. I'm hoping that it was just an otherwise unnoticed effect on my vision from this morning's migraine, and not an indication I need glasses. Oh well, will be making an appointment to find out either way.
