Scrappy, can you convince him to maybe make some extra veg on the side so that he can still have a full plate but less of whatever your mother-in-law is making? Frozen veg in the microwave is fairly easy.
Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Dear Mortgage Dude,
I would like to close as scheduled on Thursday morning early. Therefore, I need you to *tell me the total amount of money I need to send you*. Before my bank closes at 12pm tomorrow, which I informed you 5 hours ago.
Signed, it's COB and you are not answering my eeeeeemail.

I love when people start sniping each other on my eBay auctions.

Ugh. I hear that pain and annoyance, flea. So much.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Call him, flea. He is not in a business where he can ignore deadlines.
Personal peeve: people who don't answer emails because they're "so busy right now" and "I'll get to it!" The person who's waiting for your response doesn't know if you're working on it, or if you've not bothered to check your email today, or if you're suddenly in the hospital. At the very least, write back and say, "I'm working on it, I'm aware of the deadline, I'll have it to you in time." Communicate, you fuckers.

I've been checking my credit report because of a security breach at my insurance provider. I managed to get credit reports from Experian and TransUnion easily, and nothing looks amiss. Equifax, on the other hand, is trying to verify my identity with challenge questions that I can't answer because they don't apply to me, and I'm unable to get a free credit report from them without mailing them forms and a wackton of documentation.
How concerned should I be?

Seriously. I ran into this at the start of my hunt and had one real estate agent get miffed that I had gone with someone else because I hadn't heard back from her within 48 hours from when she was given my information (referred by a friend). Sorry - too hot a market to not have an agent not be on the ball.
OTOH, the loan officer that was referred by Nanita's cousin - rocks. I know we are only part way through the process, but she has been very responsive, informative, and just plain helpful.
Not sure if I mentioned it here, but the deciding factor for the seller choosing our house? A letter. I wrote a letter based on the suggestion of both the loan officer and my realtor. Just about me and what I liked about the house and how I saw my family fitting into it.

I made Guinness brownies to take to trivia, but chemo has screwed up my sense of taste so badly that I can't tell if they're any good.

I'd be happy to sample for you, Ginger. Curse this continent width and lack of teleporter!
H just helped me with one of those boil and fit nightguard thingies. I couldn't get it in my mouth until we'd removed about half the thickness. I have small teeth, and I couldn't close my upper lip over it because it was so high it was hitting that little connector between lip and gum. An hour of cutting, smoothing, reheating, paring, carving, reheating, smoothing, and finally! It fits! I'm used to a bulletproof lexan biteplate that I've managed to chew a hole in and snap the end off of, grinding my teeth at night.
This one is going to be fun. I give it two months before I've chewed it to shreds in my sleep. squeaka squeaka squeaka squeaka!
