Thank you Ross Simon

I am so very thankful that you are willing to let me buy some diamond studs for only $5,000 dollars while saving me $17,000. I am so thankful for you.

Starting this one with a GRRRRRRRRR! Previous post... Selling house. Now that you're all caught up... The other day our dishwasher stopped working. This dishwasher has been on the outs for a while, but still works thanks to my amazing skillz. so My lovely informs me of the no workie, and remembering the wise words of my father who said "check the small things," i do just that. fuse box, A-OK. Turn the knob a few times on the machine (has worked in the past), no fixy. I guess it's time for a new machine. It couldn't break after we sold the house? DAMN!

Off to Lowes I go, and purchase a lovely, plain white boring $300 dishwasher. I remove the old, install the new, flip the breaker back on, and check for leaks, and Tada...... Nothing! No lights, no swishing, NOTHING! I then notice the light switch which hides behind the coffee maker which the cleaners must have turned off on sunday.

We're keeping it.

GRRRRRRRRR.

The Garden? Really

I'm trying to sell my house. This market is a bear, and I understand this, so I have been doing what I'm told. i don't like doing what I'm told. I reduced the "clutter." good boy. I had the whole house repainted. good boy. I had a new kitchen floor put in, repaired a big window that something flew into, refinished the living room floor, and had new carpet installed. good good boy.

We've had a few showings... too expensive, to inexpensive, too far out... you know same shit. BUT... when I was told the house didn't show well because it was too cluttered, I let my realtor have it. THIS HOUSE IS NOT CLUTTERED! My shed is full of all the crap. My attic is full of all the crap, and a storage unit is full of all the crap. MY HOUSE IS NOT FULL OF ALL THE CRAP! We are crapless. Then, I get told that someone loved the house, but they thought the garden needed to be thinned out a little. Really? the garden? You're buying the fucking house. Pave the garden for all I care at this point. I tore the hell out of that garden last night much to my wife's dismay. It will be made plastic, beautiful, colorful just for the likes of others. I hate this game. We've lowered our price. GRRRRRRRRR.
