I'm getting LAUGHED at by a loan officer AS WE SPEAK ask me anything.

I've excused myself to avoid further humiliation. My S.O. doesn't seem to mind.

Who new buying a house would prove to be such a baffling and painful ordeal? I mean all I want is for someone to trust me with 150,000 U.S. Dollars. Hey! I'm good for it. Just like Eric Roberts in the Pope of Greenwich Village (IMDB: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087932/ ) (They're gonna take my thumbs Charlie!)

Ugh.

[Deja Q]

1. With offshoring going on, why would anybody take out a $120k loan to study

engineering, computer science, you name it? Even I would be laughing too. Not at you. The situation.

(In other words, if the housing market was showing signs of falling, paying for a loan now might not be a good thing to do.)

2. See this is the problem with my search for a house.

I understand, on an individual basis, each word you just typed, hypno, but try as I might I can't understand any of it once it has been strung together to form a sentence.

All I feel is a stiff breeze, as though something complicated just flew over my head.

4. He looked great in Sin City...

:evilgrin:

5. I haven't seen that...

.. but I'll take your word. If you've ever read an interview with him, you'll see that he is 100% bat-shit crazy. He makes Tom Cruise sound sane. Not that I care either way, most artists are nuts and it's kind of amusing :)

6. I was joking about his extensive plastic surgery.

In Sin City he wears alot of make to make him look freakish but somehow I failed to notice...
