    Congrats on selling your house, Blueberry! I feel for you in terms of dealing with a PITA buyer. Thankfully, I was pretty lucky with the man who bought my house, but the people who sold us our house and their agent tested my patience, and I've heard some real horror stories over the years from a good friend who is an agent. It takes all kinds.

    But you're free now! Woot!

    Dear Pet Gods and Goddesses: Please nudge the person who's potentially willing to rehome our little stray cat in the right direction. She's the sweetest little cat and they would be so lucky to get her.

    We are so happy for this!! Thanks for all of the support It's been a trying time for us, for sure.

    I feel for the buyer - I actually think the pain may have been her agent. She didn't know she needed to have insurance on the house. They had to make a call from the closing table to get her emergency house insurance. I have a hunch that home ownership will not go smoothly for her.

    Oh my gosh; how could you not know this?

    The agent our seller's used was a piece of work. She was hyper-sexual and had a very notorious reputation for using her sexuality at every opportunity she had (and if she didn't have one, she'd make one up). DH was a little offended that she didn't hit on him.

    Congrats on the sale going through, but too bad you have to have her as a neighbor. How clueless can you get? Not knowing about homeowners insurance? Isn't that something her realtor should have clued her in on? Seems like we knew about it from our very first home purchase back in 1985.

    Hope things go smoothly for you from here on out and you don't have to see her too often. Having difficult neighbors is trying indeed -- we've certainly been there more than once.

    Might I suggest that your check to make sure the various utilities have been switched over to the buyer? If she had no clue about insurance, then she might also have no clue about water, electricity, natural gas, trash, and maybe even cable and phone service.

    We asked our agent if we should, and she said no. We disconnected them in our name on closing day. Whether she has turned them on really isn't our issue (she hasn't moved in yet - maybe she doesn't want them on? who knows.).

    Dear Tree that Grows Money,

    That was fast!!!!!!!
    Hmmm, while I'd really like to buy the bike, I should probably put this money towards bills or something. Even so, Thanks!!!!!
