Valid points, guys. I'm overthinking it. Maybe I'm worried that if we liked it enough to make an offer (big IF), we'd lowball or would like a few things to be fixed. She's notoriously cheap. I think part of it is that I feel guilty because this lady did a lot for me when I was younger. She gave me a lot of opportunities and support, and I did a shitty job of keeping in touch with her when I started school. I got even worse about it when I graduated and got married...I was wrapped up in my own stuff. I just don't want it to be a, "Oh, you're reaching out because you want something from me?" situation. Either way, I'm taking this as a sign from the universe to catch up, and we're doing dinner next week. I'm kind of excited at the thought of having a home studio. That's one of my wet dreams. If not this house, it's a future Dream House Wish List thing.
TX- What would be weird is if you guys decide to buy it that you don't negotiate directly with her and get a better price. You can now take the realtors out of the equation and save each other some money.
Chances are the listing agent has an exclusive right to sell contract meaning even if she sells the house herself, the agent gets paid.
You're definitely overthinking it. It's the largest purchase of your life (probably), so it's business... as long as you're not trying to cheat her, then you have nothing to feel badly about. Be honest, demand from her what you'd demand from anyone in that situation, and sleep with a clear conscience. And as to it being "her" house, as soon as you move in and put your shit in there, it will feel like yours, not hers. Any sense of it being her house will go away very, very quickly. Humans adapt to shit like that very well. If you like it, go after it... don't let your unfounded hangups fuck it up for you, or else you'll be settling for other houses and then regretting not jumping on this one.
How cute TX. You think you could have a home studio. You just wait until the kids come and see how far you get with that personal space. I am with the others, if it s a home you want go for it.
Considering most of the crap on our floor is from the grandkids dropping stuff, is it considered child abuse if I velcro a mop the to the 6 month old so he can mop the floor while he's crawling around?
That is an Asian Raccoon Dog. Funny enough, it is in no way related to the raccoon, though it does climb trees. What the fuck nature?
Nope, that's called an actual product that's already on Amazon. I only know about this because I thought about doing it with my son, but by the time I finally decided it was a good idea he had already out-grown the sizes available.
That. Is. Fucking. Awesome. I don't have kids, but I have an overwhelming desire to buy the whole-body suit just as a vote for my approval.
She makes this young jaded man happy. As far as I'm concerned, Allison Brie in her prime, hot as anyone out there. Pretty sure even Durabnite is moved by that second gif. ... And a lot of my female colleagues are fresh out of undergrad. Dam them and their tight bodies and perky tits. And yes before anyone rips on me, I have enjoyed them on a carnal level.
I'm pretty sure the people who first came up with that were on shark tank. There's a whole bunch of different versions of it out now, because it's a lot harder to patent a general idea than a specific thing (what's to stop someone from putting sponges on onsies?). Americans: we're really fucking good at inventing shit to help us be even more lazy.
Yes we are, which is way if that two stroke rascal Net posted a pic of a few weeks ago was socially acceptable to use, I would.
That is ingenuity at its finest. I agree with putting them on a roomba, maybe let them nap on top of one while it moves around, two birds one stone.
