I had the very same thought as well.Originally posted by ursus
It would be cool if it was actually in Bear's own words....Hmmm I wonder if we took one of his actual opening posts where he kicked off a previous RT thread and we split that off into a new RTDNTOTO8 thread. I'm sure it would work, but that will only work a few times.

Mutherfecker. So my attorneys just informed me that they would like to close on my refinance the 19th or 20th - which is when Hubby and I will be in Wisconsin with the inlaws for Turkey Day. Apparently my rate expires on the 26th. Feck. Feck. Feck.

Good luck with that dandy. Sounds like a headache. Maybe they can get it done next week instead.
I'm getting a new winter hairdo on the 24th. I'm not sure I can wait that long. My hair is entirely too long and blonde and is starting to look stringy. The 24th cannot come fast enough.

Could you provide your attorney with an official power of attorney letter and let them do the closing on your behalf? I know when we bought our house, the folks we were buying from had moved to Texas and didn't come back for the closing and had somebody else do it for them. I imagine things are not too much different for a refi, but then again, I imagine a lot of things...

I imagine I'm not only already home but have taken off the tie and cracked open a cold one.

I think the term "concubine" sounds funny when it's pronounced. It's from the Latin, "to lay together."
Is that random enough?

I saw a Maserati yesterday but it didn't have a vanity plate, just a regular ol' random letter/number plate... something didn't seem quite right about that. I guess that person isn't a 100% show-off, then.
That is as strange as driving an F-350 and not having an NRA sticker.
or having an expressway exit not covered with snipe signs. Just wrong. Wrong

There was a wasp in our house today.
The front area of our house is comprised of stone walls and throughout the summer we repeatedly had new queens attempting to build colonies next to the front door. There is definitely a thriving colony somewhere near the house. I even had to knock down wasp nests from the outdoor lights because they were built right up against burnt out bulbs (the house was vacant for some time before we moved in).
We aren't sure where the wasp came from or how it got indoors. I sure hope they aren't living in our walls or something dreadful. If they stay away from the doors and don't bother us, I'm completely okay with them nesting in the yard, but in the house is not going to work.

Arrrgh. *smacks Hubby upside the head*

There is this Maserati and Lamborghini that typically drive the mean streets of my community. I always question why, because frankly, our streets are in some dire need of repaving and i would freakout if i hit one of the pot holes. I no longer break my neck for Porsche, they seem like a dime a dozen in this place.

Had some serious dental work done earlier this week. Pain pills, antibiotics, special rinse because of the stitches, and several days off work - all for a procedure that took about an hour. Went in today to get the final fit on the temporary retainer. Since they had to remove a bridge to access the area, the original plan was to reuse the bridge. However, they couldn't get it back on after the surgery. Thus the retainer. So I go back this morning, and it turns out I had popped a stitch, so after restitiching, they made another attempt to reattach the bridge. It worked. But I had to take a pain pill and conk out for the afternoon because it hurt.
Now my tongue keeps playing with the back of the bridge. It's lower and shifted just enough that I can feel the difference. And it means I might have more swelling again. I'm supposed to go back to work on Monday and I can't miss - we have training.
I'm hoping this weekend isn't a total bust. I wanted to see Skyfall.

I like to use a potato ricer to make mashed potatoes.
Any particular reason??
My dog doesn't listen to me anymore. She's a total sweetheart, but she won't come when called. Well, I love her anyway.
How old is she? maybe she's going deaf.My dog doesn't listen to me anymore. She's a total sweetheart, but she won't come when called. Well, I love her anyway.
Less than 3 years old. She can hear perfectly well. I think she's just being stubborn...
We have a difference of opinion regarding shared responsibilities regarding the pets.Any particular reason??

His view seems to be that if I have a late meeting the cats' needs can wait until I get home. There are occasions when he does help out without being asked but I can't count on him and often it takes a disagreement before he does it.
Our dogs seem to loose their hearing/understanding on occasion. Little brats!
