I hear it's sunny in London today. I expect all that will change when I pass through.

Yes, I am concerned about the closing costs, because the bank seriously underestimated them last time. There doesn't seem to be any way to prevent this.

Is there a decent website for finding mortgage rates? I'm tired of making dozens of phone calls and, of course, having to call back a few times because the first information is always wrong.

Rolling the closing costs into the loan seems to be an option. :blink:

Oh sure, they'll do that. Hell, for the right rate (for the lender), they'll finance 125% of the appraised value of the place if you're going to do improvements.

Normally an enjoyable ride, Amtrak home from Syracuse yesterday:

-1.5 hours late arriving from Buffalo

-2 hours delayed between Utica and Albany for track repairs

-2 hours delayed due to a tree across the tracks near Rhinecliff

-and, icing on the cake, 1000 feet from Penn Station, the engine died. 45 minutes waiting for a tow.

Conductors explained that the freight company, CSX, schedules the track maintenance. They tell Amtrak, but Amtrak doesn't tell the passengers. Work on this stretch has been going on for a month or more, and is expected to continue for at least another month, all without passing the information along.

Ate enough drek from the cafe car to disgust myself.

The Tribeca Film Festival's skill at scheduling any films I would like to see at the most bizarre times of day and night, and only once or twice. Not to mention, screening them inconveniently in bloody Tribeca. :blink:

Excruciating postsurgical, postanesthetic dental pain. I'm hoping the codeine I took kicks in soon.

a very spicy goat curry for lunch took care of the problem. i don't know if it would work for those with pregnancy concerns.

Ooooh, my condolences. I hope all went well (other than the pain part)?

Spicy enough could probably cause a spontaneous abortion, no?

We registered yesterday at Bloomies; we were selecting everyday flatware when a couple approached. The woman said loudly: "This is what people buy who can't afford what we got at Tiffany's." She then repeated that 4 minutes later. She then proceeded to mention Tiffany's again 2 minutes later as they examined various patterns. Gatham and I looked at each other--we were the only people around. Gautham and I then started saying Tiffany's every 3rd word... while giggling. I think someone got the hint because they left. So tacky.
