Are you effing kidding me??

We just found out that the Charmer appraised lower than the sales price. I can't effing believe it. Personally, I think the appraiser doesn't know shit from shinola, but whatever. Now we either a) renegotiate the price with the crazy-ass, I'm-a-litigator-and-better-than-you, psycho seller; or b) get another appraisal and see what happens; or c) walk. We're starting with the first option. My Costa Rican vacation may disappear because of this. All of a sudden, my oral surgery tomorrow seems like the least of my worries. I'm ready for a Valium right now.

What IS shinola, anyway? Just wondering...

It was a brand of shoe polish way back when the world was new - so I suppose I should've capitalized it. There. An error. You got me. :)

I wasn't trying to get you! Just wondering...and too lazy to google it. You sure wouldn't want to mix up shit and shinola...maybe it would be alright if you had brown shoes.

In our area a house can appraise for $150K and yet it will sell for at least twice that. Location, location, location. My favorite was a vacant lot - a small, skinny, vacant lot - that sold for $450,000 - yes, that's right. cAH-rAY-zEE! Sure it had "lake rights" but no lake view. The "rights" the proud owners had was to get in their car and drive to a skinny strip of what they termed 'private beach' (which happened to be located adjacent to a public shore path). Then the owners spent another $500K building their house on said vacant lot. Pick up the house and transport it down the road two miles and it would sell for MAYBE $230K. People complain about the prices of houses and we're just like, "Dude! Stop paying MORE than what an item is WORTH! duh!"
