Prayers are with him. God got him with a good Dr. so know all will be well, though the procedures he's having to undergo are not fun. I would think after this round, you'll get definitive answer so there's a definitive course of action for him to take. XXOO

Well, you be the expert in that area and does sound like they need to cut back on morphine. Maybe supplement in between with something not so heavy duty. Me personally, morphine never did squat for pain and I mean nothing - so then they'd want to keep giving me more. Told them the crap ain't workin' so instead of pumping me full of an addicting drug that doesn't work, let's find something that does which was demoral (sp). Asked the nurse if it would get rid of the pain, and she said no but you won't give a F (I loved that nurse). Anyway, didn't need as much of it and when pain after PT etc was bad they gave me something in between my shots.

SIL is MIA today I try to keep the peace with her.
Well, hope she shows up and sure would like to know what the cops are saying. Jerk driver. Sorry your SIL is, well . . . .

I'm gonna look through all the pics posted after I can stop working - geesh, been waiting for them and now don't have time to open them to look

Yee Haw! Tex you're rubbin' off on me and bringing out the Oklahama girl in me Tambre that's awesome - even if $34k lower than asking it's an offer! Think it was Jody? so sleepy can't think; too old to work until after midnight and can't remember now, but she gave you great advice. Once upon a time, in a galaxy far, far away, closings (at least where I was practicing) were only taking 30-45 days but like she said now with everything else goin' on, it can take longer to get through that end of it. Everything crossed you and the buyers can find a middle ground and you have a solid deal. I'm a prayin' for you girl!

The underwriting process right now is like a slow torture. Not only does it take forever, you can be 2 days away from closing and they will still come up with another condition or 2 or 3. Its like 3-4 yrs ago, they couldnt have cared less about underwriting, now, its micro managing every single itty bitty detail, especially if someone is going FHA.

Besides all that, most standard contract language will say "on or before" such and such a date. If the bank gets done early and both sides are agreeable, we can always close it sooner than the initial date.
Jody boy you hit the nail on the head, we about hated to even pick up the phone..underwriting always needed one more thing..miracle we even closed...

Still haven't talked to my sil--can't get a hold of her...but get this...

The newspaper wrote up the accident and is making it sound like my brothers fault saying he stepped out in front of the van and the van could not stop in time! I also know the driver of the van!!! He is LEGALLY BLIND. I am so PISSED--my sil better hire a damn personal injury lawyer!!

OK - made a quick jump back between emails - find one yourself and a pitt bull with a track record, go to the frickin' cop shop (you are a member of the immediate family) and do it yourself. SIL is just, well, I'll get banned if I use the phrase I want to now But this needs to be handled quickly, including police report, etc. and since B4 thought there were witnesses, I thought the guy himself (or someone saw him) that he was on cell phone, said he didn't see your bro (yeah, if he's talking on a cell phone AND legally blind!!!) get to the cop shop when you can and screw SIL. She's worthless, while your poor bro is in the hospital and now stupid newspapers making it sound like his fault. Not even my brother and steam coming out of my ears

OMG Texas what a case he has-legally blind and a cell phone? Still keeping him in prayers.

Thanks all for the words about Mr. L. We need an answer and they have told us this would give it-but where the heck where they before with all the tests? By this time tomorrow hopefully!
