Good morning!
The list on the first page has been updated.
Always, yay on the roof! Boo on the noise. At least it's getting done

I would but the DF is the only juice I have right now.
I was going to have a Rum n Coke... but got a beer instead... I like Rum n Coke, its tasty, if I drink a couple Rum n Cokes I feel happy... if I drink a few Rum n Cokes I feel sleepy... and if I drink 1 too many I start drinking Wum n Coke

Aw, dang! Here I thought it was top secret and I was a member of an elite group who knew.
Chak, that's rough. It's understandable though. With all the drama around my move, it crossed my mind more than once to have a cig. With mostly fruit flavors left here, I've been getting nervous. Had a project revive that I thought wasn't going to happen, and that gave the bit of breathing room to place an order today - PB, Legend and Serendipity. I hope your order gets to you quickly. Hang in there!

Rum for me is a headache in a bottle.
Haven't been able to even think about drinking rum for years and years.Well, friends, you will not believe this. The second buyers decided not to go through with the house sale. 
Back on the market we go. This time it was because the home inspector noted moisture stains on the attic rafters. My old roof leaked - has a new one since 2010. And the bathroom vents go into the attic rather than through the roof. In with the notation about moisture were those dirty words, "possible mold." That's the latest fear frenzy. Any mention and people bolt. Inspectors are just doing CYA for legal reasons, but it doesn't matter. My realtor just had a deal tanked on a 6 year old home because the inspector flagged something as being out of code. She says in the last five years, home inspections have become a nightmare, and tank a lot of deals. We are praying and keeping faith. It needs to sell soon.
In other news, the first buyer was clearly intending to file a frivolous lawsuit against me. Which would cost time and money to address, and I have neither. I decided to rid my life (and the house) of the bad mojo and signed for release of his earnest money. May seem like he got away with it, but we all know karma's reputation. No amount of money is worth dealing with nasty people.

Aw damn {{{{{{{{ Lori }}}}}}}}
A couple of bummer news for you
I understand the mold fears...somewhat. Hubby is allergic to mold. Not a severe allergy, but does make him wheeze a bit. I knock on wood all the time that I have no allergies.
I think what happens is that houses are made so damned weather proof, they cannot breathe and the moisture gets trapped.
I don't know what others think but it seems like as the smoking rate goes down, kids with allergies goes up
We are protecting our kids way too much. Their bodies aren't being allowed to build up resistances to .... well .... dirt and germs.

Thanks for the hug! It always helps.
I understand the mold thing too. I have a pretty intense mold sensitivity. If that house had a mold problem, I couldn't have lived there for a day, much less19 years. That's the frustrating part. Mold can be very toxic. I just wish inspectors didn't play so fast and loose with the word. Only talk about it if it's really there. They have to worry about being held liable - lawsuits strike again.
We sure do seem to be becoming a more allergic society!
All bad news. At least write Idiot #1 and tell him he's a low-life, bottom-feeding loser. Just to get it off your chest and he doesn't live inside your head.Well, friends, you will not believe this. The second buyers decided not to go through with the house sale.

Well, I was a little more subtle, but that's essentially what I said in my email:
........
At this point it's clear that there will not be a fair and reasonable resolution with Mr. X. I have dealt with people like him and it's better to just get away from them ASAP. I do not want any more communications from him.
For that reason, I've signed the termination agreement and attached it here. Let's release the earnest money and move on.

It's an art form, isn't it? I kept my good ones to my ex during that whole ugly process. They are still satisfying after all these years.
Our old landlords were sad to see us leave their place. They loved the letters he would send to the HOA. Rick always made sure they got a copy of what he sent out.It's an art form, isn't it?

I can write great scathing letters too. And I can tailor it to whoever it is aimed at. Anywhere between sophisticated to the low-life sewer rats. Whatever language they understand best.Rick writes great scathing letters

It is an art form for sure. I don't have that ability. The first time I read one of Rick's, I was like ! Then I got used to them and started laughing at them.

Oh, man. I just know you were deadly there! [Note to self: discuss no politics with the General.]
Lori so sorry to hear about the house. I am allergic to mold. I have had bad allergies since the mid 80's. The bad thing is, the older I get, the worse the allergies are. It can be maddening at times. If you take antihistamines too long, it is not good for your immune system. Sorry you lost the second buyer, and the earnest money. THAT STINKS!
Chak, I am sorry to hear about the nic level problem. Buy a bottle of higher nic. That way in a pinch, you can up your nic, for those weak moments. I think as someone said, just chain vape a bit. That will get that nic level up. In just a wee bit over a month, it will be a year for me, off the cigs. At times I didn't know if I'd make it. But good gear and juice makes all the difference!

Yeah, it's frustrating with the house for sure. I swear if I had the money I would pay off the mortgage and just give it to someone who would love living there.
I hope you have some sort of celebration for your one year quitversary!
Pretty sure Chak has ordered higher nic, but being in Thailand, the shipping takes a long time. That's when you start wishing for worm holes, or a Star Trek transporter room. Come to think of it, I'd like one of their holodecks for Christmas. Must write Santa. Now.
