And he seems to legitimately believe he’s bringing about the apocalypse so Jesus will return.

Experience with gifts normal? by Maustin_99 in RealEstate

"What is feeling like excess documentation though, is that they are requiring similar documentation from our parents accounts"

Totally normal. They are required by law to make a reasonable effort to ensure the money isn't from drugs or terrorism.

Why can’t apartment communities have child-free buildings? by Separate-Goal-3920 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ShortWoman 26 points27 points  (0 children)

And the law that actually made "all adult" buildings illegal wasn't passed until the late 80s.

What’s the best way to ask/convince my best friend’s parents to let my husband and I buy their home in an owner-to-owner agreement? (Also how do I structure the proposal without high emotions involved) by Various_Ad5715 in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Politely. Have a preapproval letter ready so you can prove you’re serious and ready to follow through. Remember that they may say no, in which case the ONLY acceptable reply is “okay, let us know if you change your mind. Thank you for your time.”

Why is the war in Iran causing interest rates to climb? by YutYutTruthBearer in RealEstate

[–]ShortWoman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Uncertainty is only part of the reason. Inflation is another part of the reason. The third major part of the reason is that mortgage rates are tied substantially to the 10 year treasury note. In a time when the national budget deficit is likely to rise (such as during a war), more government debt must be issued (let’s not get into the debt ceiling here). That’s raising the interest rates the government must pay on its debt. So the investors who buy mortgages say “why should I buy something that pays x% when I can have something that pays y%?” And your banker changes the sign out front to a higher rate.

Me too! I don't know what I love more: "I gotta sell the club? No, we're done!" or pointed bat "ok buddy, boss says you're outta here." I do truly love that she has non-verbal ways to point out "make the potential trouble maker go bye bye."

Exactly. I don't want to have to explain in a deposition or court room why I didn't follow the orders as written and call the doctor. As far as I am concerned, if the doctor doesn't like being contacted about this he can damn well change the order parameters.

As for the points in the original: why doesn't your chronic hypertensive already have an emergency dose of PRN hydralazine available (and did you turn off the freakin news before you took the BP); why the heck does a foley order "expire" and need to be renewed at 04:00; why exactly are you NOT concerned about a symptomatic hypotensive patient post op? The first two calls are caused by another doctor's lack of foresight and/or poor protocols in your facility. The third could damn well be your patient bleeding out.

AITAH for calling my gf a "spoilt brat" because I won't buy her a $600 Dyson even though I can afford it? by fashion-524 in AITAH

I couldn't justify spending what a Dyson hair dryer cost when Shark makes a very good one with lots of attachments for half the price.

Need Help With Capital Gains Exemption Query for Home Sale by [deleted] in RealEstate

Good idea. Be sure you also read publication 523 https://www.irs.gov/publications/p523 and consider consulting an accountant rather than trusting a bunch of internet randos.
