Adventures of Allergy Dog
Teva has been into the vet every two weeks for the last two months. It started with the severe granuloma, and has continued from there due to an ear infection. When we had her in two weeks ago, the doc gave us a prescription antihistamine, because we think her licking is, at least in part, allergy-related. This was the reason we switched her to ( Read more... ) -

To the asshole who hit my car...
First off, I'd like to thank you for a) not hitting the car while I was in it, and b) doing mostly cosmetic damage. The dent in the door can be fixed without much effort, but the paint is toast. I hope you get caught, because in all likelihood, the car you were driving was stolen. Why else would it be without plates or identifying tags of any ( Read more... ) -
Post-inspection report...
As expected, there are some things that definitely need to be fixed. Most notably, the boiler (which our agent is almost positive the bank will have to fix before the sale can be finalized), and windows, as well as the eventual addition of gutters to minimize seepage in the basement. The inspector recommended the replacement of the water heater ( Read more... ) -

This house just ain't a home...
Kris stayed in Eau Claire last night due to auditions for the movie he wrote and will be directing. I can't recall how long he's been working on the script, but it seems like forever. He finally finished it, and he and the producer/graphic designer/animator started auditioning for parts. I am so proud of him for finishing something. At the same ( Read more... ) -

The battle is lost...
South Fargo and South Moorehead are both under water. My dad said he'll probably lose his house today, and I fear the same fate for my grandparents' house as well. The house we lived in until my parents divorced is gone, but I knew that was coming. There is a permanent earthen dike not a block away from it that they had sandbagged, and I just ( Read more... ) -
I wish I wasn't so prone to anxiety...
My dad's family all lives in Fargo. None of them are that close to the river, but with the city being as flat as a table, you don't have to be near it to be hit by the overland flooding. This entire afternoon, I've been really worried about my dad's safety. With him being the Salvation Army Disaster Services Coordinator for Fargo, I know he's ( Read more... ) -
Now it's a game of numbers and waiting...
I have been officially approved for the mortgage. I wanted to offer $95,000 (only $4K less than the seller's asking price), but the realtor thinks $97K, with the seller to pay closing costs, has a better shot. It's a bank-owned property, so there isn't a lot of room for negotiating the price. Unfortunately, that means a higher monthly payment ( Read more... )
