You think she would have shot back at the other realtor...with anything............*try to earn your commission!)but nope...she said the other realtor said he was going onto the next house----------across the street! Same shat. Different day.Same price I surmise. She said she is sure since our neighbors put it up last week on the market that they won't go too low.
We just lowered our price to 304,900 now. Of course it will take Ms. clueless the whole day to put it in-----no wait, the secretary will be doing it. She admitted she does NOT know HOW to use A COMPUTER!. (let me at her)..............I told her if he couldn't go any higher than 280 why waste our time in that he prob. wasn;t preapproved even for more than 280! what a joke. I will give it 3 more weeks. If we get no bites then it's going FSBO and we will break the contract...somehow someway!

On a good note, it was our 7 year. wedding anniversary today.........
Have a good night all. I am exhausted!!
Hope you are all doing well. I will catch up on your posts tomorrow. Tex how is that bR coming along?
Sorry about the a-hole buyer. But happy anniversary!

She said she doesn't run around like I do so she doesn't need to take a bath! It's freaking 90 degrees here !! She said she would take a SPONGE BATH!! I said with what? You don't even have soap. I said the soap and the toiletries are in the linen closet...She rolled her eyes and said I am not taking a bath or shower... I said, for 2 WEEKS? She said yes. She brought her own washcloth. I said I will wash it. She said no...I gave her a clean one.... I said the other one will stink! LOL Granted THE BATH is upstairs.The other 2 bathrooms ...the half bath is downstairs....I told her I would help her upstairs by all means or if she didnt feel comfortable that my hub could! She still said no... Now she gets near the food I wanna puke. She is starting to stink if I get too close to her. I have been queasy all week!! I am constantly wiping up the mess she makes LOL>>>>>> then I give her a paper plate for a sandwich and says she has tomatoes on her sandwich and if it FALLS ON THE FLOOR SHE ISN'T PICKING IT UP!! EW!!!!!!! so it goes into a sandwich baggie. WTH!!!! What a shtty week with everything.

Anyone have a noseplug? ROFL!

This is definitely a way to lose the weight quicker because it is coming off now!! I lose my appetite if she goes in the refrig digging around for something.. If it was anyone else I wouldnt care but bad hygiene is the worst!!!!!!!!!! I feel like puking now as we speak LOL!

Oh my dear god, you have me laughing so hard I might just have this baby right here! You are hilarious!

I do have to say, your MIL is making me want to puke. That crap could never happen in my house, I would be in a hotel for the time she was there. Not taking a shower is one thing but all the other crap she is doing too, ummmmm NOPE!

Tell her to go and get the mail at the mailbox and when she is out there, have the kids attack her with the water house. One can spray her while the other dumps liquid soap all over her.

NJ, what does hubby say, it IS his mother after all...egads girl...makes me want to

Kristine, good to see you!

Ok went to see our financial guy, its about as bad as we figured, we get statements every month, but I guess he likes to meet a couple times a year. It was 82 and a nice ocean breeze down at Newport Beach, its 106 here, yes i would like to have taken in that fresh air a bit longer, but the doglets were home alone, yes there is a doggy door now, but...thats about as long that they will behave and not chew the house up...

Dogmom, I mentioned it to him tonite..I said she really needs to bathe. It is getting gross. Just help her into the tub...or something. ..I said it is 90 degrees out for God's sakes....so I think he will nudge her into it. Gross.

So we go to the German Butcher before..........*Lacey- you know the place!*===it's a nice pastry/deli/pre-made food *all homeade things* type of place.........
So on the way, she is in the front seat with me--kids in the back....she whips out a nail clipper and I knew what was to come! SHe started to clip her nails -FLYING EVERYWHERE. Oh dear God I thought I was going to puke out the window but it would have flown back in at me!.....I was mortified........She then brushed her shirt off and all of them onto the damn floor of my car......I wanted to hurl. I gave her the dirtiest look then stopped talking to her lol..........Never in myl life...........she is very backwards.I have never had to "live" with her per se for ANY time..Not even overnight LOL>>so this was a first and if I had seen it coming...just nasty..... Well, I just about lost my appetite tonight after that one....My mom would be rolling over in her grave if she saw this.

She comes back here does her business in the bathroom...doesn't wash her hands ( I was right in the kitchen so it's near lol) and I told my hub to tell her..all she will do with me is act stubborn....so I have to go through him at this point.. I said this is it! I am going to puke. Stay tuned.

Well I had the realtor call the listing agent to inquire about the weird behavior and the listing agent told her that the original all cash offer stands but it's not looking good. When she asked: "why did you drop the price?" They said that since the house is still on the system they HAD to?!! I don't know, to me sounds really weird. She then said that I'm still the back-up and if it doesn't work out she'll let us know. Have any of you heard of such weird practices?
Gf EVERYTHING in RE is weird LOL price drop isn't as weird as the LA saying 'the all cash offer not looking good' Wonder if the cash buyer turned out to not have cash after all - that's the weird part in all this. How can it 'not look good' with a cash offer??? Very odd indeed, but nothing really surprises me too much anymore. At least you're in the B/U position!

Girl, that is sooooooooo not a visual I wanted in my head

JOY- and you thought it was LOW TIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!LOL

Even at low tide in Bocas doesn't smell like that woman must. In fact an overflowing sewer wouldn't smell that bad. Just yucky.

My God this woman seriously just needs to get out of the biz - too bad she can't just 'disappear' or something. What a lame brain

This is way too much. I just ate and am ready to puke. Glad DH is going to try and prod her to clean herself off (and my God as unsanitary as that woman is you'd have to use a cattle prod). OK off to throw up and I 'will' wash my hands afterwards.
