Have I expressed how much of a pain in the ass selling a house can be? I know there are other buffistas sharing in/have shared/hope to share my pain. Latest installment:
apparently I have a radon problem. I tested the radon when I moved in and a few years after I moved in (maybe 2-3 years ago) and all measures were well below threshold. NOW it is above threshold and I have to pay for abatement.
Is it possible for radon to become a problem in 2-5 years?
This is an unfinished basement and no major construction has occurred.
Timelies all!
Argh, the vacuum cleaner died in the middle of my vacuuming. Since the vacuuming =has= to get done tonight(my parents arrive tomorrow) I had to go buy a new one.
I know nothing about radon. Our house is so drafty that 100% of the air turns over every 2 hours. That house cannot ever have a radon problem. (It is possibly the only problem the house cannot have.)
My cat is staring out a window, probably watching the rabbits gnawing on my garden. Serves me right for not letting him out in the evening to chase the rabbits, squirrels, deer, cars, semi trucks, etc.
I'm watching

Apollo will be serving up the baddies for Martha Jones to prosecute any minute now.
That's...wierd about the radon. If it were before you moved in/after you moved in I would assume that the before was a false negative due to someone opening doors or windows during the testing process. Did you improve the insulation since moving in? Anything that keeps gasses trapped inside will increase radon levels.
the house has been shut since we have been away and the furnace wasn't operational for ~2 weeks. But the basement has a door that almost always has been closed the whole time.
Dude, who knew I could like a conservative blogger?
America will survive another Obama term, just as it survived eight years of George W. Bush. Likewise, it could survive four or eight years of Romney if it came to that. This is not because any of these administrations have been or will be right in most of what they’re doing, but because America is not so fragile or pathetic that its survival can be seriously jeopardized by the mismanagement of its political class.

Ugh, went to this event after work and it was disappointing. Although I did get my mother a Christmas present. But I skipped the second rehersal of my chorus tonight because I had this ticket before I joined the chorus, and now I want to skip next week, too, because my mother will be out of town. I'm afraid they will kick me out!
From Suela's link:
a decline in triumphalist boasting does not mean that patriotism is in decline
It's so sad that I'm shocked at how reasonable this statement is!

That's because he talks like an old school conservative, not a Neocon.
