Gripes worthy of a post but not an entire thread.......

Realtors that do not return phone calls or answer emails. I am so upset because the house I have been wanting to see for 3 months has a contract on it. I found out today when I went to the property myself and called the listing agent. A contract was placed 3 days ago. I only want to live in one town. What this place offers is amazing. The problem is I find them online and contact the agents and I never hear back. In this day when banks are not loaning and I have cash, you'd think they would call or respond. I am just heart sick.

There may be a reason that you don't need to be in that house ... s:

Maybe, but this is not the first time this has happened.I have been looking for a house in a nearby town for about 2 years. And every time I call, email or contact via the website, I never get a response. I could understand a bit if these were short sales or foreclosures, because they can take a lot of time with minimal return. But at least return my calls and let me know that. I would think since home sales are down, banks skeemish about lending and a Realtor on every corner, that they would want to make some kind of contact. The funny thing is, I called the main company yesterday and left a voice mail regarding the lack of response. A man called me back within 30 minutes and less than 5 minutes after that I get an email from the bad realtor, welcoming me and blah, blah, blah. Too late sweetie.

My mother's sister passed away. We did not get along. I made peace with that long ago and always tried to be the adult in the room. Somehow her passing is bringing up so many hurt feelings that I have chosen to ignore and move beyond. I hate when that happens.

Everyone loved my mother. Not a mean bone in her body, always pleasant. Her sisters are/were another thing. People would always say, "I like *you (my mom)* but where did your sisters come from." (in so many words.)

I'm glad my mom was my mom and not any of them. I miss her.

I intend on keeping a low profile and let this all blow over, but I'm not liking the impressions that I'm getting.

I have no desire and wouldn't dare go to any ceremonies. Nothing good can come from that. Laying low, that's me....although I just know somehow, someway I'll get dragged into this....even if I'm not there.

Deep breathes....... rinse, repeat.

I am so sorry not so much for your loss, because of how you felt about her (although I doubt you would wish this on her) but for the feelings this has dredged up. And you know folks like to rag on the person who isn't there to defend him/herself.....not that I think you should get in there and defend against any BS thrown your way mind you. Just put on your teflon armor and let it all just slide right off!

The teflon isn't working too well. The crap didn't even start from "them" yet....it started in my own home. WTF? I keep a zipped lip and stay out of all of it and I still hear it and more.

If I have another day like yesterday, I surely will go over the edge and this morning didn't start off too well. Yesterday has made me so darn sensitive today......

Sorry you're going through this. Its hard enough when someone passes without people stirring up drama.

It's not really her passing, it's all the stuff associated with that side of the family that has been stirred up. And to toss it at me just to be hurtful.....there's no reason for it. Just throwing salt on old wounds to make himself look better.

Thanks....

Why is it some people seem to enjoy bringing people down. Its like a passtime with them. A lot of people seem to be this way.

[baragabrat]

I had an experience with a sister this past summer. Nothing big, just hurtful and annoying. So I spoke up for myself and you know, it made a difference! Not that it will work for everyone because one may speak up but never be listened to, but I was fortunate in that my sister respected my wishes. And I am so proud that I asserted myself (to my older sisters no less), otherwise I know I would have carried resentments and that does nothing but drag me down.

I try, I do.....I guess I just wasn't born with that gene.
