I've found that any time you dine with a DISer, it will be an interesting event....

Or, MAYBE I can use my new tools to start a business and with the money I can buy curtains!

This post is SPECIFICALLY for Jaime (some others may understand as well), and was prompted by the discussion a few pages back of the wonderful and rarely used word "moot."

"I want to tell her that I love her, but the point is probably moot."

Arrr, I am so frustrated right now. We went two days ago and signed all the paperwork with our realtor. THIS MORNING, the day of our inspection and appraisal (things we have to pay for), we find out this guy won't sign the papers because now he wants to take the curtains and he doesn't want to ofer a home warranty.

He's willing to walk away from this over that???? Now, granted, the curtains are probably not something longterm, but something that will tide us over until I'm ready to tackle that. But, really to have issues now?? And he's in China. So we don't exactly have time to discuss it. When we first looked at the house 1 1/2 years ago the realtor told us the curtains stay. Not worth it to walk away from, but why is he being so difficult??

For me, I think I may be more concerned with the home warranty than the curtains. Around here, there is no such thing as a home warranty, you buy the house as-is and tough luck on you if the roof caves in the day after you buy it.

As for the curtains, it would bother me, only because he is being difficult after the fact. You can actually find some pretty nice curtains at TJ Maxx, ect.. and go to a fabric store and have them add fringe, hanging crystals, ect. to make them fancier. Even if more than one panel has to be sewn together to fit larger windows, it could be much less expensive then having custom curtains made.

Don't let Yvette know you're serenading me - she gets jealous!

I was 13 when that song came out and it was the first time I had ever heard that word.

ruh roh - How was it?

The Company was fantastic, the food at Rainforest was good, the service...well...friendly....but he was clueless. We really wished Kevin was there. Orders came out wrong, had to ask for more water, had to ask to have empty plates bussed, Michelle and Tracay got beverage refills in child cafe cups, ordered a group dessert-got 9 plates for 4 people and no forks however he did want to sing happy birthday for no reason, took 3 trys to get the bill right..but he was friendly and polite.

I can't remember how old I was when the song came out but I do remember the crush

Neither of them is a huge issue. I am bothered exactly why you said, because he is being difficult.

1)The guy's in China
2)The housing market is not the greatest right now
Who does he think he is, this Mr. Curling Iron???

I'd call his bluff. He doesn't want the deal to fall thru he's probably just being a baby because he's taking a loss on his house.

As long as it doesn't turn into a discussion about his stint on that Showtime show...

 

[Minnie Lor]

So this new update answered some questions for me. I was thinking of getting to DHS at 7:30/7:45 (park closes at 8) and go see Osborne Lights. Thought I'd meander a bit and slowly make my way out and to the entrance by 9.

hmmmm, think, think (done in my best Winnie impression)

 

[LMO429]

OUCH!!! That is waaaay wrong!!! Is there any way you could switch over Southwest?!?!

Sure I can switch over to southwest for a 150 dollar change fee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! its just nuts!

 

[Minnie Lor]

For those that did the party last year, what time do people start queing up? Was there a mass of people?

I was 13 when that song came out and it was the first time I had ever heard that word.

It took me a while to remember what song that was. It was making me crazy. Not that it is far to go.

My funny moot story of the day. I work with a lot of salesmen and our one district manager was telling a funny story about his new boss that liked to say mute instead of moot. Well, he didn't want to correct his boss, but after the 6th or 7th customer he said mute to he decided it was time to let him know the word is moot. He, of course, waited until they were alone, but that did not sound like a fun conversation to have.

Hmmm. We don't have Showtime. We have HBO. I just Googled it to find out to what you were referring. Holy cow.

Among other things we have in common, some of us have discovered that we have had a long mutual admiration for Rick Springfield (Jaime, Dodie, Tonya, etc.) The topic has come up a couple of times. Jaime's admiration is by far the most "well-documented."
