Negotiating to purchase a home, need help to know best way to be successful. House on the market for > 7 months, originally 350k, gradually reduced to 315k. Sale due to death of spouse, and seller buying new condo, with 2 new mortgages. I offered 260k because her orig mortgage 6 years ago was for 158k, & I added 100k to it to motivate her to sell since one of her new notes is for 100k. Tax assessment is 287k.(all figures obtained from courthouse) She countered with 305k, I offered 267.5k. My real estate agent conveyed there was frustration on the buyer and agent's part, and they brought up a recent appraisal which reported around 300k, and agent stated the seller might agree to reduce to 300. House needs work - new kitchen, paint including ceilings, carpet. Advice as to how I should proceed? I want this house, but am really starting to stretch my limits. Also, ideas on contingency that would give me an out up to closing? I think assessment is high, and need to get in for <285k. Thanks!

My mother is a great cook and her specialty is brownies. My Grandmother was sick and in the hospital, and requested a batch from my mother. My Mother and I took them down to the hospital, and with the nurse's permission, brought the brownies in for Grandma. The nurse told us the brownies were something Grandma had been looking forward to all week along. When we got to her room, she was asleep. Mom told me to wait with the brownies until Grandma awoke. Well she just wouldnt wake up- and I kept eating the brownies, one by one, and before I knew it they were all gone. Grandma woke up and was upset I ate them all, and I yelled back at her- explaining she was taking too damn long to wake up. My mother promised we would drive down the following week with more brownies, but my Grandma died the next day. My mom now blames me for ruining Grandma's last chance at tasting her brownies. Im 20 years old and its not my fault I got hungry waiting for Grandma to wake up! Not my fault she died either.

1. Any fake phone number a girl gave you would automatically forward
your call to her real number.

2. Nodding and looking at your watch would be deemed an acceptable
response to "I love you."

3. Hallmark would make "Sorry, what was your name again?" cards.

4. When your girlfriend really needed to talk to you during the game,
she'd appear in a little box in the corner of the screen during a
time-out.

5. Each year, your raise would be pegged to the fortunes of the NFL
team of your choice.

6. The funniest guy in the office would get to be CEO.

7. "Sorry I'm late, but I got really wasted last night" would be an
acceptable excuse for tardiness.

8. At the end of the workday, a whistle would blow and you'd jump out
your window and slide down the tail of a brontosaurus and right into
your car like Fred Flintstone.

9. It'd be considered harmless fun to gather 30 friends, put on horned
helmets, and go pillage a nearby town.

10. When a cop gave you a ticket, every smart-aleck answer you
responded with would actually reduce your fine. As in: Cop: "You know how fast
you were going?" You: "All I know is, I was spilling my beer all over
the place." Cop: "Nice one. That's $10 off."

11. Tanks would be far easier to rent.

12. Garbage would take itself out.

13. Instead of beer belly, you'd get "beer biceps."

14. Instead of an expensive engagement ring, you could present your
wife-to-be with a giant foam hand that said, "You're #1!"

15. Valentine's Day would be moved to February 29th so it would only
occur in leap years.

17. On Groundhog Day, if you saw your shadow, you'd get the day off to
go drinking. Mother's Day, too.

18. St. Patrick's Day, however, would remain exactly the same. But it
would be celebrated every month.

19. “COPS” would be broadcast live, and you could phone in advice to
the pursuing cops. Or to the crooks.

20. The only show opposite “Monday Night Football” would be "Monday
Night Football from a Different Camera Angle".

21. The candle shops in the mall would sell candles that smell like
whiskey and beer.

22. Women would have to obtain a license before wearing spandex or
short shorts (sorta like conceal carry laws).

23. Women suffering from PMS would be required to wear a burka.

24. Gun racks would be standard on all American cars.

25. There would be a device that automatically raised and lowered
toilet seats.

26. 2006 Cloning Act:"Only Jessica Alba may be cloned."

I keep pursuing casual sex with girls because I want to feel attractive and wanted. I was ugly as an adolescent and rejected frequently. I am 23 now and I think I am extremely attractive. I think this behavior might be related, as if I am trying to convert a failure into a success.

I was really surprised that so many people called truck drivers "fat perverts". Others were telling a woman that because her husband was a long haul driver, it was a 99% probabilty that he would cheat on her.
Just curious, but where do you get your info?
See my husband is a semi driver and he is 6 ft. 2 in. and he's all muscle.
On top of that, he's not cheated on me in the alomst 7 years he's been driving.
So what exactly is it that gives yuo the impression that just because they drive big rigs, that's the kind of people they are?

I love and care for you alll. That's why you have to stop being such PU$$IES. You frigging pansies! You are a disgrace to the male gender. Wearing Pink? Jesus! Look, you can see women as your equals, but being ashamed of being a guy. You're getting run over at college (there are more women at college and more getting higher degrees now).

Now motivate your a$$ This has gone far enough!
