First of all, I just accidentally deleted a post on home warranties. It was probably divine intervention (as it is next to impossible to put a fun spin on optional sewage ejector pump coverage), but I find it upsetting nonetheless. I know I won’t be getting those 20 minutes of my life back and, at this point, they all count.
So, shifting gears, I will instead share this comment I read on Twitter recently. The writer said, ”Dontcha hate it when you forget to close a <div> tag, and then when you DO close it, you miss a ‘;’ ?”
And here is the sad part. I really do hate that. That’s because I need to get out more, which means it might be a good time to dust off this Top Ten list. (Note: I am violating the cosmic Top Ten List rules in numbering sequentially. This is because I don’t know how to format declining numbers, and I hate bad formatting almost as much as I hate messing up my <div> tags.)
The Top Ten Reasons You Know Your Agent is One Cashew Away from the Nut Farm
- Searches for missing car keys on the MLS.
- Asks husband to take the dog for a walk-through.
- Frosts her cakes with a caulking gun.
- Signs daughter’s report cards electronically.
- Refers to regular doctor visits as physical inspections.
- Defends purchase of impractical yet whimsical shoes by saying they were on short sale.
- When a new Supreme Court Justice is “confirmed,” she assumes he that he just closed escrow.
- Refuses to set up trust funds for children, thinking this would trigger some complicated Department of Real Estate filing.
- Sees a “Now Showing” theater marque and instinctively whips out her lockbox card.
- Children are named Freddie and Fannie.
Number eleven, of course, is the one where your agent finds themself in a deep blue funk when a post on home warranties gets zapped into the cyberspace void. Guilty as charged.

Kris,
I love it! I heard once about a mortgage lender who named his dogs Fannie and Freddie!
Thanks for the smile for the night!

12. She lists her garage sale items with value range pricing.
13. She compulsively converts grocery prices into 30-year mortgage payments.
14. She names her cats mello and roos.
Nicely done, Jakob. Want to ghost write?
BTW, did you finally close escrow?
Now in month 3, going for the record of world’s longest escrow.
Bank took the house by Deed In Lieu instead of foreclosure and (surprise!) there was a substantial junior lien, which isn’t wiped out by DIL. The bank may need to re-foreclose the normal way to get a clean title. No idea how much longer it will take yet. It could be worse, enjoying life in PB in the meantime. 
Reading this post leads me to believe we’ll be seeing you at the meetings this week?

Y tu, thesis? Ah, well, at least you gussy it up with a shocking blue.

As for disqus, I haven’t a clue.

Chris – Didn’t know. Which one? Maybe we are just cosmically connected.
Too funny, great post! Now I compose in Blogjet just in case my pearls of wisdom hang in the air.
