Without seeing the verbiage proper, I can't say. Contracts are sticky enough that, if I were your current agent, I'd run it by my brokerage's attorney before I made any sort of judgment call.

I have met your H. Nothing about him screams "I would strip naked in a public park."
In case you were wondering.
That is an epic straight face on your photog. And you KNOW she went home/back to the office/to wherever her online forum is and was like, "omg, you will not believe this one ... Client wanted to strip their baby and I thought she wanted her husband to strip ... And so I told him where to lay and everything! *Dies*"

What are you training for? Date? END-WET, June 2018
Training plan for the week? Swim Tuesday and Friday
Any issues or vents? The race I'd been planning on doing at the end of the season isn't happening this year. Irritating. Now I need to find another one and I think I'm going to end up driving to Redding. Also, I cannot find a 50m pool in which I can do my 5k epostal. They're all shutting down for the season or don't have enough time in their lap swim (I need at least 2 hours, probably a little more than that because of my slower speed right now.)
Highlights or AW's from the past week? Back in the pool and it's amazing!

Ugh, I'm so sorry. Please know that whatever list you send me to bring down, I want you to include whatever you want. I don't care if that's 20 bottles of nail polish and a glue gun or if you only want towels and socks. Or something in between. You make the list, I'll get everything I can fit in my suitcases to you.

I live within 45 minutes of Tahoe. If you're looking for shopping, nightlife, etc with a resort feel, check out the South Lake Tahoe area instead. Both Squaw and Northstar have on-resort restaurants and shopping venues, and you can take TART into Truckee, but it will be a quieter experience, especially since October is part of "shoulder season". You'll see mostly locals on the North Shore in early October. Either way, though, you can't go wrong. There's nothing to dislike about Tahoe.
I'm up! Took Missy for a mile-ish walk before it got "too hot". But it was 90 degrees. What have I become that 90 degrees at 9:30 sounds like a great time to walk the dog?
We hiked nine miles today. Lake Tahoe is my happy place. Now I'm looking at real estate listings, fantasizing about buying a country house. I'm a city girl through and through but I would LOVE a place in the mountains.
Tahoe is my happy place too. Let me know if you want to take a look at some houses. I , uh, "know a guy" as it were.

When Dot got old, the vet went to only rabies. All the others were dropped because she didn't need them due to her restrictions. I'm glad she made those recommendations, because the distemper vac always made her super itchy for weeks and I felt bad doing that to an older dog.

Actually, up here, I'd rather do noon than 6pm because 6 is when it is the absolute hottest. Do you have large fans? Set up a homemade swamp cooler with a fan and a block of ice. Or go buy some misters.

I'm up - just got home from walking Missy to Starbucks for a coffee with R. It's a mile and a half round trip and significantly uphill on the way there, so that counts as exercise, right? It's 8:30 am and already 86 freaking degrees out, so I'm not doing anything else today.
This afternoon I'm getting a haircut and going thrift shopping with a friend.

We've got the pest guy coming out today because I think we have rodents in our walls. (Thank GOD we haven't had one running around the house inside yet.). I hope this isn't too expensive.
Update: we came to terms with the situation and proceeded with the appraisal. More bad news....owner mis-represented square footage (by 480 ft), even after we had asked for confirmation prior offer. Needless to say, appraisal was much lower than what was contracted. Owner won't budge, so I guess we are walking away. Maybe the squatter was a warning!
Ugh. We're in that same situation as regards square footage, but in our case, the tax records were/are wrong.
It sounds like maybe you've dodged a bullet here with these sellers, so definitely onward and upward.
I really just figured out my summer wardrobe, so I am not ready for seasons to change.
I need some black and brown ankle boots, black calf boots, but I have big feet and need wide calf (but not wide foot).
I need some long long sleeve tees that are long enough for my monkey arms, but I can't get tall because I have a short torso and then the neck scoop is below my boobs.
I am also impossible to shop for.
I've had great luck finding wide calf boots at Payless. I have a pair I absolutely adore from there and I think they were $35? So worth it, and you can't tell they're cheap.
miso , the other day, S got pissed bc we left a play date. He waited until we were almost home to say "I don't like you. I don't want you to be my mommy. I'm going to give you away."
These things do not hurt my feelings. They fill me with rage.
So, I didn't say anything. He kept going "did you hear me mama? I don't like you. You aren't my mommy." I kept ignoring him. When we got home, I undid his buckle but didn't help him out of the car. I kept ignoring him until we got inside. I handed J to my H and said "S doesn't want me as a mommy anymore so I'm out." and turned to S and said "good luck without a mommy". And drove away. I listened to a podcast for 15 min while driving around the neighborhood. H called me so I could hear S screaming "MAMAAAAA COME BACCCKKK!" while banging on the front door in the background.
When I got home, I told S I came back bc I didn't think it was fair to J to not have an awesome mommy just bc he didn't want me.
I'm a mean mom.
That's amazing. I've been close to doing something similar with AJ but the "you're not my friend OR my mommy!" times happen either when we're out in public or when J is at work. Though on the times it's just the two of us at home, walking out the door and just standing outside for a second would probably do the trick...hmm.
My mom legit walked out of stride rite when I was about 4 and throwing a fit. I said something about how I didn't love her and I didn't want a mommy anymore. So she left. (When she tells the story, she says she told the closest salesperson to 'watch this') and just left. Approximately half a millisecond later I was chasing her down the mall screaming how much I loved her. Lol
namasteak, I'll be in Dallas for a convention in two weeks. Please let me know if there's anything you need or want. I'm flying Southwest, so I've got two bags to fill. . Toys, games, clothes, athletic gear ...
Please feel free to be specific - I can ask my office to help, as well. I think a lot of them are feeling like they can't help anyone personally.
That is so kind! In two weeks we should know the damage and what needs to be replaced. Off the top of my head I know the kids new bed (adorable IKEA toddler bunk) will have to be replaced and their wooden blocks. Our linen cabinet is low so probably all linens and towels will need to be replaced. We have most of clothes except the nice stuff that was high up and hopefully can get cleaned.
Right now I'm praying the computers are ok despite the extended humidity. They have 6 years of pictures that include our wedding pics and Ds1s first year. DH said maybe the hardrives could be redone though.
Oh, good thoughts that your computers are ok.
Once you have a better idea of what you need, send me a pm with the list. I'll get as much together as I can and I'll deliver it on the 13th.

If you're cooking meat, I'd keep it simple for sake of keeping people happy: hamburgers, chicken, bratwurst, and a veggie burger option if you're into that. Potato salad, cole slaw, chips, salsa and guac, veggie tray, and brownies/cookies. Beer and soda.
DH is in charge of cooking whatever i buy in the meat dept. Any ideas on numer or pounds of meats/person? Guac is an excellent idea. Wonder if costco has good premade guac? I was planning to make a leek and pea pasta sometime this weekend. Could that sub for potato salad or slaw or should i make that for myself some other day?
Think i should have an app or is that the veggie tray?
I'd consider two meat items per person to be safe. I'd consider chips/dips/veggies as appetizers. Pasta salad is a great substitute for one of the sides. I'd probably sub for potato salad.
