GM's thread about nothing (42 Viewers)

[Mr.Pack]

Well, crap Bogart. sorry you're in the situation and you haven't seen the worst of it I'll wager, but I'm glad that your dad seems at peace with his decision and you've been there for him.

Godspeed to you both and everyone in your family.

Hang in there GB.

TPW to you guys

I feel like Zooks is not getting enough recognition for his thoughtful GMTAN SS Package amidst all of this Six Sikma and other Naan-sense

Zooks's greatness is always recognized.

Krista, you tend to make oddly committed decisions for someone that should be extremely non-committal. I haven't really jumped into the conversation thus far, but I was/am completely flummoxed by your decision to buy a house. Jebus, you were polling the GMTAN not even two months ago about where to live. When you're in that state of mind, you shouldn't even be making plans for next weekend let alone buying a house.

Just embrace the fact that you're currently a nomad, rent a place, and save the long-term decisions for when it actually makes sense to decide.

Alright, who stole Homer's login?

Well as a single, broke, unhealthy, 39 year old bartender with a moderate-to-severe drinking problem and severe-to-insane personal issues, I generally refrain from dispensing life advice to anyone other than the bottom of society's barrel.

This one just seems way too obvious though.

Congrats, krista.

[St. Louis Bob]

Heading up to hospital. My grandfather (not the one I ratted on about his pills, but my stepmom's dad) was just admitted to CCU. They found a brain tumor during a scan this evening.

I'm starting to feel like SLB.

This is now the fifth Christmas in a row we have had a family medical issue or death in the family. #### this holiday.

So a little update here.

Tests were run. Then transferred to another hospital and more tests were run. Results showed a large brain tumor and a large tumor in his lungs, connected in some way. The doctors' diagnosis was, "We will try one treatment of radiation, if it works, we will try another, if not, you need to say goodbye to your friends." Then they talked about the need for three weeks of rehab, before they can do the treatment. I spend several evenings with him as we discuss life, death, experiences, chances of survival, God, being a burden, etc. He hates the fact that nurses are having to wipe his ### and he's leaving streaks on his sheets.

Last night, he decides to refuse treatment. No rehab, no radiation, no surgery, no cutting. He is of sound mind right now, and wants to go out that way. Three to six months where he can clearly communicate with friends and family beats two to three years (maybe) of being a burden on someone as he can barely know what's going on. His daughter had cancer for most of her 30 years on Earth and he knows first hand how bad the "life" can be after attacking the cancer.

I've never been more proud of him, and I've been proud of his often. To basically tell cancer "#### You" and look at your life and be happy with it, and go out on your terms is pretty cool. Not everyone has the balls to do that. He had me cracking up when he said, "your Mom wants me to get well and spend my money going on a trip. But I don't want to go anywhere! I've been everywhere I want to go.......twice."

Thanks for the update although I'm sorry to hear the news. His courage is inspiring and I hope it gives you comfort as well. Love you brother.

On the down side, Mr. krista would have to wait a while in terms of getting his pizza oven. Otherwise I don't see a lot of downside other than obviously if the market goes nuts there in the next year.

Are you seriously rushing to buy a house so you can get a pizza oven?

No, of course not.

with you moving around so much, have you thought of this?

Ooooo, that's pretty sweet.

Nobody should get along that well. "Staying friends" is highly overrated.

I've sent many a Vermont Teddy Bear dipped in AIDS.

Day - drunk again, but this time as a winner. The tide may be turning. In a related story, monkeys may be flying out of my butt.

Whatever you do, don't tell us what you hit.

Got my SS gift on New Year's Eve and I'm just now getting around to posting here.

It contained:

The Oatmeal's "Five Very Good Reasons to Punch a Dolphin in the Mouth" (The Richie Incognito story)

1 Chicken Finger Puppet (For mini crock-pot chicken)

1 Postcard of a clown making a fish balloon with pooping dog photobomb with the inscription "Merry Christmas!!! GMTAN Secret Santa. P & S - I love you"

& on the Flarp, great minds.

I'm just gonna leave this here.

Yeah my mom "moderately drank" while pregnant with me.

Never mind.

I also love when my Mom asks me when I'm going to quit smoking. She used to toke like she got knocked up by the Marlboro Man while I was in the womb.

Guys, I'm having some almost-buyer's remorse even before buying this house. I'm starting to think a reasonable person might move to Seattle and rent for a while before just jumping in to yet another home purchase. Yes?

I assumed this was obvious but didn't want to put a damper on your all-in enthusiasm.

Guys, I'm having some almost-buyer's remorse even before buying this house. I'm starting to think a reasonable person might move to Seattle and rent for a while before just jumping in to yet another home purchase. Yes?

That's what we did when we moved out here. Signed a 6 month lease, moved in, looked around various neighborhoods to decide where we wanted to live rather than do the whirlwind weekend, etc. Turned out swimmingly. Cost us at least $40k because of what home prices did and priced us out of any area we would have planned to live in. Ended up having to sign for another 6 months just to find SOMETHING we could buy. That ended well.

Sometimes you just gotta say, "What the ####," make your move.

Well, these posts in succession muddied it a bit for me.

Let me give more info: in addition to my recent tendency to move around (odd in that I was in Chicago for 18 years, though I did move around a lot within the city), I had intended if we stayed in Atlanta to pay cash for a house, which while not necessarily the smartest thing financially had some benefits to me given an unclear job situation. In Seattle given the neighborhoods we were looking at I was going to have to take out a mortgage.

Today I received a huge list of additional mortgage documents I would need, and some of them are very tricky given our moves in 2013 and some of the decisions I made regarding work (including not working for a few months). Also a lot of paperwork I simply don't have (tax records that of course don't exist for Nica properties, copies of checks from when we auctioned our stuff, pay stubs from my job in Memphis) and would be a huge pain in the ### to get.

If we took the time to move, rent for a while, and liquidate some other assets, I could again get in a spot for no mortgage even on a Seattle house in a location I want. It would also allow for less stress on the move--i.e., we could go when we want and not be locked into any timing, and other benefits. It would also, of course, allow for the chance of flakiness on the part of Mr. krista (less likely) or me if we decided we didn't wish to stay and would avoid taking yet another bath on a real estate matter.

On the down side, Mr. krista would have to wait a while in terms of getting his pizza oven. Otherwise I don't see a lot of downside other than obviously if the market goes nuts there in the next year.

What kick-outs did you have written into the contract?

We have basically a "free" out through Monday, something about doing extra diligence on the neighborhood and such. And an inspection out until next Thursday (inspection scheduled for Tuesday). And the biggest out of all, which is that they don't have my earnest money yet anyway.

My advice would be to invoke the kick-out and get your feet under you again. Sounds like you're having more than just a case of jitters.

Caught up with a buddy that I hadn't seen in a while last night and his Thanksgiving sounded too epic not to share.

Thanksgiving dinner included (names changed to protect the innocent):

My buddy Jason

Jason's mom Karen and dad Bill (still married)

Karen's boyfriend (didn't catch his name)

Jason's ex-girlfriend Hannah

Hannah's new boyfriend Jason

new Jason's parents Sarah and Bill

just so i have thisyour friend

your friends parents - married

his moms boyfriend

his ex girlfriend

his ex new boyfriend and his parents

wthh

You got it

Oh and Hannah used to live with my buddy Jason until they broke up 2-3 years ago. She now lives with new boyfriend Jason.

So "Bill" isn't the parents of both "Jasons"

I thought you got a job. What happened?

I do have a job. It's a little hard to explain, but I can take assignments when I want, and currently I'm on an allegedly indefinite one that I can do from anywhere. If this assignment did end, presumably I could easily find another one as so far I've had my choice of any that I wanted, and the one I'm in is something they'd been trying to fill for many months (the client rejected at least a couple of dozen people before I came along). I suppose it's as stable as any job but because the set-up is a bit unusual, I don't completely trust its stability.

I thought you got a job. What happened?

He was. K4 just wanted to rub our noses in the fact that she gets to...well...do whatever she wants this side of buying a pizza oven.

 

[-fish-]

couldn't you just buy a pizza oven that isn't already installed in a house?

Back to Chicago maybe? http://money.cnn.com/2014/01/03/real_estate/jordans-house/index.html?hpt=hp_t2

The suburbs?!?! Who do you think I am?

On the down side, Mr. krista would have to wait a while in terms of getting his pizza oven. Otherwise I don't see a lot of downside other than obviously if the market goes nuts there in the next year.

Are you seriously rushing to buy a house so you can get a pizza oven?

No, of course not.

with you moving around so much, have you thought of this?

The only drawback seems to be that you apparently have to get your dental work done in Mexico.

 

[Good Posting Judge]

I'd be lying if I said all of this talk wasn't making me hungry for some goddamn pizza.

SLBob> the rare winning session involved me cashing out up $75 at a casino bar. That's the best I've done in 3 days.



My bankroll, and my liver, are in serious trouble.

Oooooo, someone having a bad day, again?

He wants something along the lines of this. Would require installation and a lot of money that we wouldn't get back out of a rental.

 

[Aaron Rudnicki]

buying a house with no view that you don't love just to install a pizza oven in it definitely seems like the way to go here.
