alphabassettgrrl: It's all a little fresh for me to be getting much enjoyment... yet. I'm tempted to just let Friday roll around and have the weasel explain to me why she can't sell me the house that's she's been claiming all along she owns. But I'm just not that mean. Sometimes I wish I was, but I'm not.

6 year old computer technology? Is it a training class or a history class?

If you want to get technical, the fist version of fibre channel protocol was written nearly 20 years ago in 1988.

Is fibre channel still a viable technology? I know a lot of people invested a lot of money into it (I sold a couple of setups back in the mid-nineties), but I was just curious if something better is available today?

For several months she's been talking to him. But that's all she's been doing... talking. She hasn't signed a contract. In fact, the owner had given up on her and was about to start advertising again until he got an email from her dictating to him that she needed to close on the place this coming Friday at 11AM. with this M_ S_ attorney person (My closing with seller was scheduled at 2:30PM that same afternoon). The mention of M_ S_ gets an immediate reaction out of the owner. I would call it disgust.

Now I got nothing against a good flip. But this lady crossed some lines.

Seller announced herself to my Mother as the owner the first time Mom inspected the property.
Seller told the owner she'd turned on the utilities. We did that.
Seller told the owner she'd been cleaning up the place. We're doing that.
Seller told me she wanted to close this month because she didn't want to pay additional fees on a property I now know she doesn't even own, nor does she have under contract.

Seller is a lying weasel. Which reminds me, I need to check out this M_ S_ person. They run in packs, these people.

Long story short, if that's even possible at this point, I am saving 37.5% off a purchase price I was already satisfied with by dealing with the owner instead of the lying weasel. And I get the distinct impression the owner, after having been strung along by lying weasel all these months, is enjoying wrecking her deal.

How was your weekend?
