Someone went to the office and put in their application and deposit as we were looking at it. UGH
That's sort of what happened the first two times my parents went house hunting. Except in those cases they waited to think about it til the next day and *POOF!* House be gone.
They did not not let the fates trick them a third time.
It is unfortunate because it is almost pure bad luck. We didn't sit on it or waste time, literately drove right back to the office to give them their key back and our applications and it was gone. The other bad thing is I kinda don't want them to be approved but I shouldn't think/wish for things like that.

Yep. Your story makes it worse since you just missed it by a hair. But as my mom says in instances like that "It just wasn't meant to be."
Of course, she'd say that and then we'd end up driving by the house we missed out on a couple times. So I don't think anyone would blame you for being a little bitter.

House hunting can be a real bitch. My family found a perfect home that was a repo and made a reasonable offer. We sat around for 6 months before they told us the agent himself bought it.
Frown: Twitter posts about Rayven Samone being gay are not so Rayven. She's gay, who cares?
Extra frown: I got two works of custom made paintings "professionally" framed and matted at Michael's Crafts. The paintings were not properly set (or level for that fact) and the matting had awful scoring around the edges. Luckily they did not damage the paintings, which would have opened up a HUGE can of worms. The paintings aren't priceless, but they are one of a kind.
I received a full refund, but am still not satisfied with their excuse of "our equipment is old", nor them wasting my time. This is the second time getting shitty results from Michael's framing department and I would suggest not using them for their framing services.
What gets me a tad upset is that I paid for a service a monkey could do, in order to save time, and it only wasted my time. A tape measure and an exacto knife is all you need, so I don't know what "equipment" they are using that would "get old".
They also said "We can send it off and have it cut with a laser". Really? You don't know how to use a razor and you want to charge me $70.00usd for a "lazer device"?
If you want something done right...as the saying goes. I bought a new blade for my exacto and completed the project in minutes (it took Michael's TWO DAYS for a shitty job).
Frown: In the trailers before Elysium I saw a trailer for Keanu Reeves in 47 Ronin. I think it manages to be even more of a "fuck you" to the source material than Starship Troopers was.

Sonic no longer carries the Crab Sandwich or the Fish Sandwich. I can understand them ditching the crab, but why fish!? They had the best fish sandwiches...
Huge policy changes at work finally happening. Honestly, at this point it could go either way. I'm enjoying some of these more than I would have thought though, and it really is helping out despite all the backlash from other admins.
Mega Man, Mario and Banjo-Kazooie all weekend.
Can't seem to get my PS3 to connect to the Internet anymore...
Frown: Boy, three funerals in two weeks. Be wary of being my friend
My buddy from way back in high school and until present day joined the church triumphant this morning. aka, he's worm food.
He may have been the only white duder, and duder under 5'1 on our high school basketball team. Kid could scramble and shoot three's like JJ Redick on Red Bull and Pixie Sticks. Chicks loved him as he was tiny, cute, and very engaging. He loved the chicks back as he was about at "Boob Height".
He was a Boy Scout, a man on integrity and honesty, a Christian, and passed one week before he was about to re-marry his wife. He is survived by his Mother, Father, Grandfather, Wife, and countless friends.
Smile: It could be me getting embalmed right now.
Frown: Guy was in his early, early thirties. He died in his sleep after his lungs somehow gave out and became swollen with "liquids". Don't know how it happened, don't care. Luckily he didn't have kids and he'll have me to speak at his funeral.
I'm very sorry for the loss of your friend Luke. Death is a painful thing to deal with, but somehow it seems even more eerie when the person was close to your own age.
Finally found a great house!
