Apparently it's traditional in Cincinnati for lenders and title companies to procrastinate until the last minute, then run around like chickens with their heads cut off the day before the closing.

We've never had a closing that didn't involve us having to chase people for information. I hate it.

How will they know you're serious if you don't hound them? You could just have a hobby of applying for mortgages and then blowing them off.

Sunday! Is it a day or not?!?

HOW DO YOU DO HALF A WORKOUT???

I believe it's traditional everywhere.

Poke?

Oh sorry, it's like Hawaiian cevice. Raw tuna cubed up and marinated in yumminess. I ate mine with half and avocado, because I am such a cliched Angeleno sometimes. (Note: have not tried a raw juice cleanse, so haven't completely succumbed yet.)

Was one of the Portland, OR, techie Buffistas looking for work? A listserve I'm on just sent out an opening that might be useful. Feel free to contact me via my profile addy and I'll forward it. [Cross-posted with Bitches]

I'm interested in buying a region-free DVD player (dammit, BBC, put out Victorian Farm in Region 1!). They seem easily affordable, and I'm wondering if it's a good idea to buy something like this online.

I had reasonable luck buying a region free DVD/Blu Ray player online, Connie. And when I ran into a technical glitch over a year after buying it, tech support was very responsive and cleared everything up. I used 220 Electronics.

I've bought two refurbished region-free players online and both have worked perfectly.

Excellent, now to find out that I can plug into my computer as well as my TV (I like hunching over my 17" laptop screen).
