Yesterday when David and I were at the mall we found a 80-something year old man in shorts, his hair cut into a mohawk, and a metal arm band around his bicep. I wish it wouldn’t have been rude to snap a picture with my camera phone.

Our contract has been signed by us and the seller. On Monday our realtor contacted our bank, and they will be doing the appraisal. Last Thursday our realtor said that we could be moving in within three weeks if we wanted him to rush things. That gets us in on August 10, by that estimate.
Or at least that’s what someone called to tell me at work this morning.
I got a phone call from someone (I won’t give her name, email address, or mailing address to “protect” her, so let’s call her Haloperidol) who said that the company I work for is working with the CDC and the military to develop viruses but not to develop cures. We are transporting these viruses around the world, apparently creating a lot of logistic confusion so that we can provide these viruses to terrorists. Haloperidol tells me that we need to stop doing what we are doing or she will take this information to the media (Fox News?).
So i guess she’d rather live in an age of Polio and Smallpox?
Haloperidol told me that she was recording our conversation as evidence. She spewed her craziness for some time, while I just listed. I didn’t want to shut her up because it was too entertaining. The profanities increased near the end, with a final explosion of profanity and a “The Lord is coming soon”.
I also learned today that HIV is not a sexually transmitted disease.
Damn Warren Buffet and Bill and Melinda Gates! You had us fooled!
Beeteedub, I work for a biotech company who supplies viruses to universities, government, and pharmaceutical companies for research.
The seller didn’t accept our original offer, but we negotiated and finally reached a deal. Now we have to meet with the realtor tonight to submit the official offer. I don’t know what comes next – it’s so confusing. I seem to remember that the seller will hold it for a certain number of days to see if any other offers come in. Maybe I’m confused with something else. I’ll find out tonight. I was surprised that since we couldn’t get the parking arrangements that we originally wanted, the realtor told us they would pay for three months of parking themselves.
Soon we’ll start the adventure of mattress shopping and kitty shopping.
This afternoon we made an offer on a condo unit in Silver Spring. We should have the results tomorrow. I’ll keep you posted.

While I was at lunch today I got a message at work from LaFawnduh. Now I need to call her back without laughing.
If you don’t know why this is funny, you are out of the loop.
