  1. “This is actual butter you have made from cow’s milk, right?”

    OMG, the thought of me making butter! Can you imagine!?!?! I’d faint.

    Mopar, I don’t like butter. Seeing globs of melted butter disgusts me.

  2. ” if it was bs, agent will call you back and at which time you say you’re still thinking it over and doing math. if agent calls back again, then you’ll know you’re the only offer and at that time, tell them that’s all we can afford.”

    When is the appropriate time to tell the slimy lying broker to suck your balls?

  3. Wow, Gem, congrats on bidding on another place. I hope you get it! Those darn agents, they always have to fish, don’t they? I bet that other apt went into contract long ago. But it is true the market is probably better now than it was in, let’s say, Jan 2008. I guess it really depends on how unusual your requirements are and how well this apartment fits them and whether or not it’s a rare apartment or fairly typical.

    For example, I once saw an apartment in Jackson Heights that I knew was the only apartment in the neighborhood with huge windows running the length of the apartment and on all three sides.

  4. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH speaking of butter. do you know what i have in my refrigerator a stick of butter? a REAL SICK OF BUTTER!!! by having it hear it keeps me on my toes at all time and it’s also a form of exposure therapy! i still cant look at melted butter, but im doing okay with just the stick for some strange reason. maybe one day ill be brave enough to butter a bagel.

  5. g10, just tell agent “ok, thanks. we’ll think it over” and dont call them back. if that other offer forthcoming is legit, then you got outbid. if it was bs, agent will call you back and at which time you say you’re still thinking it over and doing math. if agent calls back again, then you’ll know you’re the only offer and at that time, tell them that’s all we can afford.

  6. OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH speaking of peacocks. do you know what i have in a vase on my desk at work? a REAL PEACOCK FEATHER!!! by having it hear it keeps me on my toes at all time and it’s also a form of exposure therapy! i still cant look at a picture of an entire body of a peacock, but im doing okay with just the feather for some strange reason. maybe one day ill be brave enough to go to a zoo and see one.

    *rob*

  7. “Could it be he didn’t appreciate being given a tour of his own kitchen???”

    Early on he also needed a tour of laundry and be taught to separate whites and colors. I lost that battle. He’s not allowed to do laundry.
