In early adolescence I had a monobrow, pretty thick from end to end. I pulled up my socks and created the gap between--the old trick with a pencil along the line alongside the mouth corner and nostril; the eyebrow is supposed to begin where the end of the pencil crosses the monobrow. And through years of constant tweezing I became inured to the pain. I cleaned up the line of my brows from underneath, which left the outside third a bit thin and undefined, but I've always worn glasses and only dealt with that bit for super special occasions. I never really learnt the art of penciling in well.
Now I have the occasional white eyebrow hair which I pluck, and I have my handy brow scissors at the ready for the new coarse wiry hairs that want to beetle. But on balance, the wild rambly undersides and middle brow hardly grow in at all, any more.
Ugh. I just heard from the mortgage place, and their appraisal for the condo is less than what I'm offering for it (because another unit in the same complex sold for a lot less a few years ago -- but this exact unit sold for about $5000 MORE than what I'm offering a few years ago), and they might not be able to approve me for the mortgage at that price. And he doesn't have an answer for me about what could be done for that, since there's someone else who's offering to buy this same condo with cash, and the owners will just sell to that person if I can't get the mortgage, rather than being willing to negotiate.
My eyebrows are kind of over-exuberant. I pluck out the ones that get long and curly, the white hairs if I can, then trim what's left (read an article in a magazine at the hair salon on how ... it works out OK).
I moisturize heavily twice a day. For make-up, I like a liquid foundation that I then go over with a wet blending sponge. When I'm done, I dab a small amount of moisturizer over the cheeks and the area around my mouth (which, for some reason, tends to get really dry and the foundation cakes). I am a distinctly non-dramatic make-up person, so it's foundation, either an eyeliner pencil or eyeshadow used as liner and mascara. (This from a 66 going on 67 year-old woman).
Oh that sucks Hil. We were super worried about that happening when we were purchasing. Ask your agent if there are any options on getting another appraiser to take a look or something like that.
I contacted my agent, and I'm waiting to hear back from her. I'm worried because it took a while to find this one -- there are so few condos that don't have stairs. Nearly everything else that I looked at wasn't accessible.
I heard back from my agent -- she said that she talked to the mortgage guy earlier today, and that she'll talk to him again tomorrow, and she'll let me know what the options are.
How long does it usually take for a Paypal payment to transfer to your bank account? (My dad sent me $5 as a test. It showed up on Paypal immediately, and then I clicked the thing to transfer it to my checking account. On Paypal, it says that it transferred, but it's not showing up yet on my bank account webpage.)
Several days, in my experience.
Thanks. (Trying to figure out the best way for my parents to send me the money for the down payment, because it had been in one of their retirement accounts or something, and it didn't occur to them to take it out of the retirement account and have it in an account that they could send it to me from until I specifically asked them to, and so what I thought would be just them writing a check and sending it to me is taking a lot longer than that, and I need to have proof that the money is in my account for the mortgage.)
