How Do You FEEL Now?

[BlackSwanRogue]

In a Merry Mood. Tis nite and the day is just beginning.

[Red Cat Jenny]

I feel like swimming..but it's too cold..darn wish I had a bathtub.one of those raised sunken oval ones..hmm or a big ol deep claw foot one. Sigh..

[Rumba Rue]

This is just unbeliveable!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

House updates: We are now three weeks past due escrow closing. Why? Because someone in Sacramento who was doing the job, left and a new person had to be hired, who doesn't know the job!

Our Morgage lady is having a total fit as is everyone else involved with this sale.

The seller and his agent have stated that if another offer comes in on the place they will take it!

Boats has already spent several hundred dollars on home inspection, plumbing and insurance on the place.

Yes we are upset..............

We have half our apartment boxed up and ready to move.............

I am so frustrated and I just want to scream and cry......

As of this afternoon here are the latest things, written by Boats:

The problem is not with escrow, the problem is with Sacramento, and

the State of California. Due to the State's budget problems expenses

are being cut with lay-offs and other cost reductions. That includes

the California Department of Veterans Affairs.

I am going CalVet on this loan. The experienced person working on my

loan was assigned to another project and is not available to consult

with or work backlog on the desk (or train the replacement). It seems

the desk was left without coverage for awhile. A new person was

assigned to the desk. Read that as NEW, inexperienced, wet behind the

ears, etc. OJT, on the job training. Being trained as best can be by

the other workers in the areas around this speciality. AKA, A Cluster

something-or-other. The cluster group determined my loan documents to

be for a Condo. rather than for a double wide mobile home that has

been sitting on its lot for 30 years. They then decided that, as it

did not have a concrete slab under it, something was wrong. No-one

understood it is OK to finance the sale and another loan for putting

in the concrete for the ground attachment that will give it the

required rating.

My loan officer (God bless her heart) was able to determine what the

hold up was and has got the paperwork shaken out of the tree they

hid it in. She thinks MaybeI will be a home owner again by next

week at this time.

The problem is not unique to CalVet. The social workers I work with

have been advised to add another month and a half to the regular month

it takes to move paper through the courts and State bureaus they have

to deal with. The County had to downsize staff to. Workload is up

and so is the lag time on my desk.

The current economy really sucks, but at least I still have a job. :-)

Me....I'll see it to believe it.

f**king tired.. I'm tired of losing friends and having them move away, or just decide to move on.. sniff.. sorry mates but my haert is a bit bent tonight and I cant sleep worth a sh*t.. I'm up in 3 hours and I hate getting p**ped on. I think I'll kill a bottle or two this weekend.

[Red Cat Jenny]

Merry hang in there!

I am feeling like a teak hot tub under a palm tree on a blisteringly white beach with an azure view, a tray of mimosas, no phone, no mail, nothing to do for 2 weeks....

Been there, done that! When my first husband and I bought our first house, it took us....eight months to get in. The seller signed papers agreeing to sell it through FHA. Then dragged his feet when he got the list of stuff he had to fix from FHA before he could sell the place to us. I finally told our real estate lady, to tell their agent, that if he didn't have things finished by the next week, the deal was OFF. He finished it in that time, we moved in, and found that, although the water had been turned off, they had kept using the toilet. GROSS!!!! Then, when we turned the water on, it all came up through the floor between the bathroom and the kitchen. It cost us another thousand dollars to reroute the plumbing through the ceiling, as back then, they put the pipes in the cement foundation and we would have had to jak-hammer up the floors.

It was a nightmare, to say the least. But when the dust settled and the tears dried, and after a lot of work, we ended up with a really nice place on a half acre.

And you do NOT want to know the crap and grief Chain Shot and I went through trying to move to Oregon! (Like one couple refusing our offer because at the time we weren't married Even though we told them our wedding was only a month away)

So, hang in there!

And Mary, some of your friends might be moving away, but you've got a whole gang of them here, just a click of your mouse away! Take care of you!!!!

thank ya, Siren and Aminal.. I truely appreiciate all the pirate luv ya show me..

its been a tough day.. the sink was clogged, I over slept and only got 2 hours sleep, had to run thru the shower (I actually wondered if the car wash would work), and didnt get much to eat today but hanging in there! My oldest kid is coming home tonight so we can shop in the morning.. oorah. :)

[Christine]

I'm so glad it's Friday! I'm going to sleep til Monday...... lol! Yesterday was a sad day. A resident died who I was close to. I was very close to his wife and kids. I felt so bad for his wife. They were married for 62 years, by his side right till the end. It happened while on my shift and then I was also there when the mortuary showed up to pick him up. I've seen so much death in the past 6 years I've worked there, it's nuts! I sometimes can't believe how sane I still am, wow!

Merry, sorry about what's going with some of your friends. *hugs to ya* Friends can do some weird stuff huh? Ugh!

[LadyBarbossa]

::le sigh::

I'm amazed I am not utterly exhausted. I swear it, and I am NOT joking, I need to be paid just for living!

OK.. supposedly DHS is FINALLY sending me the paperwork necessary to get paid. That's at least 3 months if not nigh 4, cause I haven't been paid since August. And fighting to get paid from the City for working for them at least a couple days now that I know what happened (blighters).

However, it's absolute TORTURE having to stay with family! Especially mom! T'was the whole reason of my being on my own is to live on my own. Well, kinda hard to do that when your not getting paid and it showed. Ugh...

Mom is obviously driving me nuts. When she thinks it's helping... it's not. She's rather overbearing and too instructive (telling me what I need to do and confuses the hell out of me) and no I can't tell her to back off. She doesn't understand it really on how to back off, then she bitches and picks a fight to prove she's right then pull the guilt trip, etc... ya know, a normal mom's BS. Does NOT help by any means whatsoever with my own decision making. Yes, I've attempted to talk to her about this, no she doesn't listen. She thinks I'm still a mental retard and needs to be under the control of the state with pills popped into me to keep me "normal". Sad and sick but true. She's still pushing currently for me to get into some county establishment. :: rolls eyes::

Mates, I don't know how I do it.

Keep the prayers coming though.

Pissed off!

I'd just like to reiterate to a certain pseudo-suicidal comic book collector:

I ain't no fecking 'Earth Mother', nerd-boy!

Coz he was apparently too dense to get the message the first time around.

Knock him over the head with an empty Pimms bottle, Hester! Then maybe he'll get the point.

I was just about to send you an e-mail, 'cause you haven't been around lately, either here or on the BG forum, so I was starting to worry. Glad to see you back, and in form! LOL

Brilliant idea, Ransom! Definitely my weapon of choice.

Currently, the Pimm's bottle in my pantry is half-full, but I'm sure I can find a quick and convenient way empty it for the occasion!

Just got a bit distracted by other things for awhile, Ransom. But, thanks for thinking of me!

Glad to see the Pub's been bustling in my absence.

Feeling better after having the plague that was going around Northern MN. It was a brochitis/sinus/ear infection all in one type of plague that lasted 3 weeks for me.

[Brig]

Tired...looking forward to the first Thanksgiving with a new baby...looking forward to PiP too, but missing those that hoped to be there and most likely won't...kind of in a happy melancholy, if that exists. :)

[Animal]

Excited!!!!!! Tired!!!!! Sad!!!!

Excited that I'll be in Key West in a week.

Tired because I've been working my ass off at work to go to PIP.

Sad that some people that I hoped to meet at PIP and friends I made my 1st year aren't going to be there (that would be you Merrydeath).

[Christine]

Very tired. It's going to be a long week for me. Since Monday I'm going non-stop until next Tuesday. Tomorrow I'm just going to eat some turkey dinner quickly and early and then head off to work. Oh, joy.....

[Cheeky Actress]

Restless...perhaps I've been over-doing it as of late. DH and I have been putting the fishing boat away, clearing up any last bit items that need to be put away for winter...that and trying to cook a turkey and all the sides since 10 am this morning!
