Spike's Bitches 49: As usual, I'm here to help you, and I... are you naked under there?

Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Have you told your realtor or your loan officer that your parents are giving you money towards the purchase? There are hoops you have to jump through to make sure you can use that--it can be a pain to collect the documentation the underwriters require.

Yeah -- I told them both, and the bank gave me some forms to have my parents' bank fill out, and I filed all of those.

Thanks. I'll ask my realtor about whether I need a lawyer, then.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

We've never had a lawyer at closing, and we're on house #4.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

Sounds like everything is moving along at a good pace then, Hil!

Our wings are not tired

We did not need a lawyer in CA when we purchased just over a year ago.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

We got a conveyancing firm for our house purchase. In the event, nothing really came up that we couldn't have managed by ourselves.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

NY needs a lawyer - which came as a shock to friends of mine.

Our wings are not tired.

Things have changed and I don't have the spoons to deal with the well-meaning but outdated advice.

Good advice. As for the ramp, when it is brought up again you can just say you aren't dealing with it before closing and put off discussion.

We've never used a lawyer, except in NY when I bought the Otter Lake place. But I was in Florida using my sister with power of attorney so I didn't even know it was required up there. All other times it is a combo of the realtor and bank doing all the paperwork stuff.

Congrats on the condo Hil. Hopefully the ramp can be resolved easily.

Thrive to spite them

After not hearing anything from other stores about open positions I've been job searching. I've applied to several office jobs although I need to write cover letters for a few others. And my HR manager told me he heard from the Greenville store and they have an opening. Turns out it's a supervisory opening for the shoe dept. It sounds like what I am doing now except on a larger scale and with the title and pay (I assume) to go with it. I ended up doing an impromptu phone interview today and I'm going Sat to interview with the store manager. They have several people in that department who have applied so I may not get it but they have a full time position that became available today.

I'm nervous and excited. I also don't want to stop looking for office job so if I get this and then something else comes up that would be awkward but I'll go with it.
