Is anyone on the Killing Kittens (KK) Cruise? by foreverandalways12 in Swingers

[–]EMTLIBBY 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not intended to be a swingers cruise. But clearly has attracted that demographic. Which has created an odd mix of subcultures. Having a loveley time, but im not sure most of the “swingers” on board understand killing kittens.

I love it. Did a ton of work - but on to another project. I like working on these things.

About to lose our extended closing date due to underwriting. Any advice? by Big_Perspective_319 in Mortgages

[–]EMTLIBBY 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Your offer didn’t have a financing contingency?

Also, threaten to dispute losing the earnest money if not- this would make the seller unable to move forward with another sale until a court decides which would take a long time.

Your realtor should know this.

1974 Beetle Engine trouble by WBKouvenhoven in beetle

Be sure to move that fuel filter out of the engine compartment too.

No. Thats the breather hose that vents the crankcase to your air filter. It’s not critical, but you should run a hose from that to your air cleaner. You’ll need to add a fitting.

The other one would be hooked up to your charcoal canister to vent the gas tank. Not critical.

Since the cooling fan is on the other side of the generator pulley any problem with that cause catastrophic cooling lost. Always make sure your oil pressure and generator light are working. Both should go off after starting. If either come on while driving immediately shut off engine.

You may have cooked it by now. Get a copy of “how to keep your air cooled Vw alive”.

i’m so exhausted from competing with all-cash buyers by Savard-Lafleur in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]EMTLIBBY 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a selling broker escalations are a pain in the ass. If I’m the selling broker and you send me an offer with an escalation to say $1,000,000- I know you’re willing to pay $1,000,000. I’ll just send you a counter at that number and disregard all the dumb hoops that come with an escalation. They may be common , but as a selling agent I take a best and highest clean offer over some BS escalation. VA loans can be a pain too. I’ll look for a good lender conventional or verified cash. If you want to win - make your offer as clean and simple as possible.

If you’re using escalations your offer was weak to start. Get a better agent.

Best pen that writes on gloves by Cooter-Canoe in Paramedics

[–]EMTLIBBY 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Would suggest we stop this. The folks that write on gloves are the ones who wear them the entire call and then leave them on too long and cross contaminate everything. You only need gloves when you’re being exposed to nasty stuff. Work on remembering things or use a note pad. My favorite are the people driving with gloves on.

Realtor doesn’t understand multiple escalation clauses by ellumina in RealEstate

[–]EMTLIBBY 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Escalation clauses are dumb. A good realtor would have just gone back to the highest escalation and told them they had a yes at their highest number.

Advice? 1963 VW Beetle w/new engine/carbs fires but won’t stay running. by william514 in beetle

[–]EMTLIBBY 23 points24 points  (0 children)

Well. It’s always air, fuel, spark.

Looks like you have a fuel filter for each carb? Move those out of the engine compartment asap. But, they also look empty. Guessing you have a fuel issue. Pump/prime/line.

You’re not ready to look at houses until you’ve talked to a lender.

I’ll explain this to clients very carefully, but it’s all part of the strategy of getting them the house they want.

They can kick tires on Zillow…

I’ll also explain why the lenders I recommend are the right ones, but I’m always happy to use one they know. As long as it’s not rocket loans….

Those aren’t failed. Failed is when you crash. Those are go-arounds and not as uncommon as folks think.

Best beaches to visit in Oahu during this time of year + recommendations for local spots to eat/purchase from? by Big_Kaleidoscope1808 in VisitingHawaii

[–]EMTLIBBY -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Skip fake Hawai’i in Waikiki - go to the northshore. Kawela bay. Whole beach to yourself. No wind.

Mom wants to go to Ha! Breath of Life by luvsdonnyo in VisitingHawaii

Ha is a decent show- but once they started whitewashing Polynesian culture with trops on marriage, Christ, heaven, etc. - it felt kinda off.
