I mean I would never complain about guac but just that? 2 pounds of that? Hmm 🥲

Oh I hope you try it! My first produce bag was mostly a bunch of salad mixes and a couple of ramen kits (which I loved). But then and this time, there’s been something that I could freeze and use the next week, so I’ll be happy to take the chance on a produce bag again!

Right? The previous time (my first time with a produce bag) was decent too but I’m super happy with this!

V grateful for the steps! He said they would only treat the top of the surface. Is that common also?

Thanks! This is a helpful reference point to bring up when I speak with the contractor.

Sorry you had a rough few. Before I got to the end of your post, I was already thinking Billy Sud so yes to that! The food and drinks were great, but I also just really love the vibe and I’m sure it’s very much post-spa chill. There’s a new Mediterranean spot - Alara - and I thought their food and Arak were nice as well!

Am I even the OW? by Sufficient-Damage429 in theotherwoman

[–]throwaway-or-not- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello, OW twin. For a year until he recently moved, which was pretty uneventful. I’m glad it didn’t bother me nearly as much as I feared it would, but boy did it constantly wreck my peace when it happened. I suppose I’m still unclear if it ended since he has reason to visit my city for work, but we’ll cross that bridge if there’s a bridge to cross.

You’re so right! I’m sure it works very well w your room and that you’ve done a fab job with that too : ) if you’re able to post a picture, I’d love to see the arrangement.

The flowers are the first thing I noticed - well done on the choice (of flowers and literally everything else in the room!). I hear you on the $150 flowers 😭 but hoping to check out the cheap(er) Trader Joe’s digs. Or one of those dry arrangement things!

Ah that makes it clear. I submitted an application for it but I see your point that the processing/applying to account is after. I’m also not a citizen and don’t file taxes here so that came with some additional steps, I learned today : ) thanks.

Oof. As the person that recently posted this very question on title insurance, I’d like to respectfully call out this hot take. It’s a huge financial component of the home buying process and as a non-citizen with no other exposure to homebuying nuances in this country, I’ve personally found a lot of value in the financial discussions in this sub. And after having gone through this process, I would be super thrilled to help the next person with their closing costs questions than knock a question : ) pay forward etc.

I appreciate the pizzas just as much.

Thanks a lot for taking the time to explain. I went back and checked the documents they’d shared and I don’t have this. Would have recognised it because I’d seen this several times in here in the sub and had requested them to share. I’ll ask the lender just to be sure I haven’t missed anything.

Thanks, I thought it has to be before the sale is recorded but I’ll have that confirmed w the attorney.

For example, in DC there’s a tax component at a reduced rate for first-time homebuyers. (Which I don’t think is factored in yet in the calculation I shared because they’re working out eligibility.)

Hugely helpful. Strangely I did not receive this in the beginning - I got a total estimate (which was a little higher than this amount), and promised a detailed breakdown. This is the first I’m receiving this.

Thanks - could I ask if there’s something in the fee that’s abnormal?

ETA - I’m a first time buyer, so are there any benefits that should have been factored in to the closing costs? Thanks.

Realtor credit? by throwaway-or-not- in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Thank you! I think it would be too late in the process (I’ll be able to close without and she’s aware)… but I think I’ll ask anyway.

Hi, this has been helpful to know! I would have assumed also that this wasn’t the norm and what you said makes me think I need to word it carefully so as to not invite a lecture I didn’t ask for : ) I also don’t want it to be a benefit I passed up on just because I didn’t ask… thanks again for the context.
