The American military and how war has become a fact of life for you guys.

le sigh....

what is the Bahamas' opinion of the Queen? i've seen headlines that some countries are in mourning, and others are 'meh, whatever.'

Well, we did a full paper tribute the day after she died. The headline in the next issue was 'Will Charles be our last king?' as a bunch of people are already talking about bringing up the 'let's become a republic' idiocy again... and then those same people agitated for a day off on Monday for the Queen's Day of Mourning. Generally, she and the Royal Family are well-liked here. William and Kate's recent visit showed that, and William said they'd received a warmer welcome here than the other islands they visited. We aren't politically intelligent enough to handle becoming a republic.

Take your shoes off first, and pretend you're going to bed?

 

Good morning, CPA!

Rain in the night. Partly cloudy today.

 

Last night's dinner party was fun, outside on the lawn in front of our homes. All the British-themed table decorations (two double decker buses, a London taxi, a UK flag piggy bank pig, and a cow with Buckingham Palace on it) all came from my thrift shop! I didn't realize I had collected so many things.

gotcha gotcha!

 

we got emails from our realtor with an appraisal report and a sewer line report, and it looks like they want us to fix a few things with the sewer and lower the price? i'm so confused. we knew the sewer line would need to be fixed, but this is actually making me worry now. *sigh*

[Lagie]

Say what now? Why are they trying to complicate this for you?

 

Today was busier (and more profitable) than yesterday. I'm wiped.

because it's a VA loan, and apparently As-Is... is not.

Eh, it's moreso whether we deem my clothes "clean" enough that I can just lie on the top layer.

Would also love to eventually live in a place where I can go barefoot, but my bf still deems that potentially dirty.

How about switching out shoes for slippers? My East Indian neighbours did that and I've started doing it, too. Or barefoot in some places I house sit.

I hope my nails have grown enough that I'm able to do some origami tonight. I'm so far behind in prepping for November's Jollification.

[trystan]

actually, what i said wasn't correct.  it's not cause it's a VA loan.  it's because my township passed a law/ordinance/thing that says sellers need to allow this kind of inspection for buyers to get their Use&Occupancy thing so they can move in.

i started a gofundme. Lagie, can you boost my signal on facebook? can i put the link here for others to boost the signal as well? (thanks )

VA loans can be a huge pain. Our neighbor had to do all kinds of things to satisfy the buyer's VA lender. Good luck.

Boost your signal? 

I'm not sure you can do that in the threads here but I've seen them in people's signatures.

i thought it was a phrase from firefly.... but boosting the signal is amplifying, spreading it around.  since you're on facebook, you can share my post on your feed, which "boosts the signal."

if anyone else wants to "boost my signal, i can send a link to share on your social media as well.

Rain in the night. Sunny at the moment. We are keeping a close watch on Tropical Storm Fiona.

Me, too... but the black line travels right over us. 

 

Did you get the heat?

We were sweltering. It definitely feels, and the clouds look, stormy here.

 

Calmer shop day but still lucrative.

Mebbe. Storms affect a much larger area than most people realize. We'll have a better idea by Sunday of how much at risk we are.

It felt rather nice here today. Not too hot and not too cold. Emma is 9 weeks old as of yesterday now (it's 12:12 AM here now. lol).

Good morning, CPA!

Happy Birthday, @DragonSpirit009!

 

Clouds and sun. I hope any rain holds off till after we close at 2 p.m.

[IzzyCat91]

First off: HAPPY BIRTHDAY @DragonSpirit009!!

Secondly: I am sorry to have been absent for so long. we had our interviews for the new job and then things started happening SUUUUUPER fast. We found out the next day we got the jobs, I put in my 2 weeks notice, Ben accidentally pointed out, we've been prepping and everything FOR new job (like trying to flip our sleep schedules around), plus making time to see Cookie (Who is absolutely DOMINATING soccer this year. She's Team Captain, and she scores 90% of her teams goals, to the point that her coach has to move her to defense halfway through the game just to make it fair lol)

We start the new job Monday, 3p-11p, 5 to 6 days a week (sometimes we have to work Saturday) with 2 of the shifts a week being 12's (we get to pick which 2 days each week though, and they give us advanced warning). I'm super excited but nervous, as is tradition with new things/change in my life.

Roommate hasn't been terrible, though I will need to have a talk with him about a few things he does that is irksome (like I make a gallon of iced tea for the whole house and he drinks literally 90% of it before the week is out, so either Ben or I will get a single glass and the other gets nothing. is kinda irritating.)

 

other than that, all's well here. I hope you guys are doing good too. I have to go back several pages to catch up with everything I missed lol.

 

Edit: ok, am all caught up now and just realized I am not sure if I ever mentioned Roommate OR new job. lol

I'm glad things are going well, @IzzyCat91!

 

I headed to visit my parents today for a couple of hours. I had to pick up some meds my mother was kind enough to grab for me. lol. Gotta keep this ticker of mine going.
