Someone in an office is talking to someone in the cubicles on the other side of me on his phone, on speaker phone with the volume up loud and his door open. Weird stereophonic effect.
Walking I get. But power walking? Why not just run for a shorter time?

Congratulations on the house sale, Dana!
I'm sorry about the house sale problems, Scrappy.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
Okay, heard from our realtors. Our back-up (buyer #2) dropped out. Back-up #three found another place. Back-up #four is still interested, but their offer is 20k below the original sold price. realtors want us to do another Open House on Sunday, try to get get someone to pay more $$. I think this means we will probably lose the place we want in Mi, because the last two buyers ended up not being able to get a mortgage and the buyer is very leery (even though the Mortgage Broker HE picked informed him that our credit rating was "elite" and that we were excellent buyers.
Meanwhile, my spouse is in Spain and asleep, so nothing can be decided until midnight tonight when he wakes up.
Sorry for boring you all with real estate mishegoss.

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
Can you counter-offer to Buyer #4 to see if they'll go higher?

yeah, already tried that. They are very nice, just don't have the $$$.

Ugh, so irritating. But considering how many offers you got the first time, I hope everything will work out quickly.
Buying/selling a house is up there with the suckiest tasks of adulthood.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
The ills in this world are not ones I can fight. I can speak the truth in many ways but I have no power to force anyone to listen to me. I have nothing. I can see it all going wrong and I can't stop it.
