Blerg. Mortgage company is asking for proof of seperation, divorce or a quiteclaim on the house. - sycor Nov 7, 08:52 20
- you could probably draft a separation agreement fairly cheaply -- nm - decline Nov 7, 08:56 5
  - they want proof, like credit report proof. And if we decide to divorce we don't want to be seperated for a year waiting, we just want to do one of - sycor Nov 7, 08:58 4
    - an annulment? you probably don't qualify. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 08:59 3
      - No. Not that. There is something you can do here in NC that will bypass the 12 month seperation requirement. I just don't remember what it's called - sycor Nov 7, 09:00 2
        
        oh, so you still get a divorce, you just don't wait. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 09:01 1

      - see below. -- nm - sycor Nov 7, 09:00
    - I am not sure why you would need one of those documents to do that. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 08:57
- for what reason are they asking? -- nm - tRuMaN Nov 7, 08:54 8
  - we are trying to short sell our house. -- nm - sycor Nov 7, 08:56 7
    - ok, color me confused, if you both still reside there, and arent legally separated or divorced - tRuMaN Nov 7, 08:57 6
      - You have to have a Hardship reason to be approved to short sell. So, we outlined several reason and one of them was likely divorce. So, now they want - sycor Nov 7, 08:59 5
        
        I think they're going to be suspicious of people who say they're likely going to divorce is they're still living together. I mean, obviously not you, - mara Nov 7, 09:02 1
        
        oh I know. And I get it. It's just a hassle. -- nm - sycor Nov 7, 09:03

So this asteroid on Tuesday, If scientists play it according to my way of thinking of course they say it isn't going to hit. Why start a panic? -- nm - bc/nc Nov 7, 08:48 5
- because they've been lambasted in the past for not saying anything until after previous ones passed by. -- nm - zork Nov 7, 08:50 1
  - Still the smart play. I'd rather they be lambasted then watch society tear itself apart. -- nm - bc/nc Nov 7, 08:55
- yeah, let's see if any of them are *home* right now. - Andie Nov 7, 08:49 1
  - And here we will be on Tuesday. "Hey wasn't that thing that Barney did on HIMY *BOOOM!!!* -- nm - bc/nc Nov 7, 08:53

"cleaning dude" bwahahahahaha - that's going to make me laugh all afternoon - BroDuckJen Nov 7, 08:37 9
- After a quick google, apparently they have a nude male cleaning service. - MDH Nov 7, 08:42 4
  - I hope their careful with the vaccuum cleaner... -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 08:42 3
    - heh, this made me think of the Doofy breakup scene in Scary Movie -- nm - Beaker Nov 7, 08:45 1
      - now i'm giggling thinking about that whole schtick -- nm - zork Nov 7, 08:49
    - Apparently, vacuums get you so excited that you forget about grammar. -- nm - zork Nov 7, 08:45
- he needs one or he'll get charged with sexual harassment due to all the motorboating. -- nm - zork Nov 7, 08:41
- sure there are. I used to hire one in Brooklyn. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 08:38 1
  - I should have qualified that statement ... if there were such a thing in Northern Michigan :) :) -- nm - BroDuckJen Nov 7, 08:41
- sounds like a niche market just waiting to be filled... -- nm - znufrii Nov 7, 08:37
Arkham City Final Riddler spoil...minor.... - Remlik Nov 7, 08:35 2
- Define "final". -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 08:40
- not really related, but I need those Riddler Converse. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 08:36
god, I *so* want a cleaning lady again. my friend's daughter has a cleaning business. why do I not hire kasey? - amanda in the stacks Nov 7, 08:29 5
- i don't think i'd want someone i actually *know* cleaning my house. awkward. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 08:31 1
  - you just need to hide the pron a little bit better -- nm - decline Nov 7, 08:33
- I'm seriously considering it now that I'm moving to the smaller (cheaper) place -- nm - decline Nov 7, 08:31 2
  - See, I would think that by moving to a smaller place, you'd have less need for one. - znufrii Nov 7, 08:33 1
    - well, its more the cheaper than the size (I'll be just as messy ,just 2 less rooms to be messy in) - decline Nov 7, 08:35

It says a lot about college football that it was viewed as plausible that someone's career would be ruined for exposing child abuse in a program. -- nm - Reagen Nov 7, 08:28 17
- Is that unique to college football? Doesn't whistle-blowing often lead to a break from the organization? - ty97 Nov 7, 08:31 14
  - In the case of a kid accepting $1000 from a booster, this is a gray area for me. In the case of child molestation... - Jim Nov 7, 08:32 13
    - it really bothers me that the kids who witnesses saw int he showers were never identified. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 08:35 4
      - There was apparently a pervasive perception that the kids were getting a better life so a little rape was okay. -- nm - David Nov 7, 08:36 3
        
        the tortured logic people use in these cases to make themselves be able to sleep at night is something. - Mel Profit Nov 7, 08:39 1
        
        My best guess is that it comes down to selfishness. It's "easier" for some people to do nothing and continue their comfy life. - ty97 Nov 7, 08:45
        
        that just literally made my skin crawl. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 08:37
    - And even if he's not, he has done the right thing for a molested kid. That's reason enough. - David Nov 7, 08:35 3
      - Yeah...who gives a shit about Ohio State now. In the scheme of things, what's a couple free tattoos. -- nm - Jim Nov 7, 08:39
      - I still agree. But I think it's a lot easier for us to armchair then, say, if a person is looking at being able / not being able to feed and house - ty97 Nov 7, 08:39 1
        
        This is why I can totally understand when NCAA violations don't get reported. - Jim Nov 7, 08:42
    - I agree that you do the right thing, but am not so sure about the easy to get a new job part. - ty97 Nov 7, 08:34 3
      - If ratting out a child molester is looked down on as snitching... there are deeper problems in sports than I ever knew about. -- nm - Kim Pine Nov 7, 08:36 2
        
        I'm not talking about sports. I'm talking about America. -- nm - ty97 Nov 7, 08:36 1
        
        To a larger point, if we're willing to look the other way on child molestation, we're a lousy country. - David Nov 7, 08:38
- The worst part is how easily I believe that. -- nm - David Nov 7, 08:29
- I just read the grand jury findings. So grossed out. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 08:29
*punches mandy in the babymaker* nm -- nm - groiny Nov 7, 08:28
SNL spoof of Karadashian Wedding/Divorce (link) - Jovian Nov 7, 08:26
Speaking of Katy, the thought of Beavis listening to Firework when he is down makes me smile. -- nm - Spawn Nov 7, 08:24

- [deleted] 27
  - I was gonna do MASH, but MDH as Klinger is too easy. - ty97 Nov 7, 08:26 26
    - I want to be Col. Flagg. -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 08:48
    - yeah, W&G has too small a cast. MASH might be the best one since there are enough characters. Andie as Hot Lips of course. -- nm - zork Nov 7, 08:35 7
      - crap, I'd end up as the larry lindley doc -- nm - zeitgeist Nov 7, 14:24
      - but that's it for the ladies. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 08:36 5
        
        Trish should still be the colonel :-) - con_carne Nov 7, 08:41 2
        
        "Horse Hockey!" -- nm - Mel Profit Nov 7, 08:42
        
        I assume you mean Potter. That female colonel who had a thing for Potter could be played by Meg. -- nm - zork Nov 7, 08:42
        
        lots of regular or recurring female roles on that show -- nm - zork Nov 7, 08:39
        
        So it's gender-proportionate to ST! -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 08:39
    - I was going to say you need to spoil this for me. -- nm - MDH Nov 7, 08:32 12
      - well, this makes me feel old. -- nm - Andie Nov 7, 08:33 7
        
        I've never seen MASH either (movie or show). -- nm - TFox Nov 7, 08:40
        
        Side comment: Our Excel class projects were on TV show syndication (which is the professional background the teacher had) - con_carne Nov 7, 08:37
        
        I udes to feel that way. But now I've decided that people who don't know these sorts of things are just stupid. Makes me feel a lot better. -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 08:34 4
        
        MASH went off the air 3.5 years before I was born. Besides syndication where the hell am I supposed to have seen this? - MDH Nov 7, 08:40 3
        
        Hawkeye (Alan Alda's character) is awesome - con_carne Nov 7, 08:45
        
        I think it sounds weird to us old folks because it was an exceptionally beloved show. -- nm - loosilu Nov 7, 08:45
        
        FWIW the joke is about me wanting to feel less old, not you being uninterested in pop-culture history. -- nm - Roger More Nov 7, 08:43
      - This should do -- (link) - ty97 Nov 7, 08:33 3
        
        HATE YOU. -- nm - MDH Nov 7, 08:39 1
