I can't believe I know three different people who named their son Draven. I try not to judge.

re: selling of house. Apparently someone lit a fire underneath my realtor.
buyer's realtor wanted $2K off price of the home and $1200 in escrow for radon abatement. We have an estimate for radon abatement for $795. So that's what I'm paying to the company, not $1,200. Buyer's realtor wanted an invoice for washer repair (btw, the water was turned off and this is why the washer did not turn on), and for the thermostat replacement (why the furnace did not turn on).
Here is what my realtor sent in part:
The handyman did not charge for the fixing of the washing machine because there was nothing to be fixed so there is no invoice. He advised the inspector to turn the water on to the washer for maximum results. You, your client or the inspector may go over and check for yourself at anytime. We advise that the water be turned on prior to the starting of the machine.
"turn the water on...for maximum results" - damn.
oh well.

HA, le nubian, that's awesome. Will she or he write emails to the parents of my 9th graders who are noodgy in the extreme?

That is pure gold, le nubian.
Marathon Day! I can already hear the bands starting up at Lake Montebello (one of the features of the course!) Hope to catch the front runners on the way back from the market.

Our wings are not tired.
Apparently I am still not quite awake because my first thought was, gee, I didn't know sarameg was doing a marathon. More coffee now.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
is Mindy Kaling always annoying?
I can see where a person would think that, but I've liked each episode of her show more than the one before.

Ha!

Oh hell no. I don't even know if I'd run if chased.
No runners yet, but soon. Chores or wander back down....

Ok, front runners at mile 17 (I'm at 22.) Pull the AC and then wander.
