and baby makes 6!

It's just another day in paradise

Clownfest

Remember when I told you that I thought we would have a clear title and maybe a boat this week?

Well, the title was cleared through the FDIC, but when they sent the documents (which was supposed to be by overnight but the clown sent it by snail mail….so tack on 5 more days to the 3 weeks we have been waiting to close) it was discovered that the asshat put the wrong names on the certificate of clear title, and the bank won’t accept it, of course.

So, the funding company is trying to get back in touch with FDIC guy, but he is in a meeting, and then on to lunch, so hasn’t retuned the frantic calls.

Why is the funding company frantic? Why that we be because we have had it, and are considering walking away from this whole assinine affair. Which means we will not buy this boat. :*(

We will be out almost $1000, but for the love of all things holy, we are sick and flippin’ tired of dealing with retards.

And we have to ask ourselves if there is a reason for all the obstacles. Like, maybe we shouldn’t buy this boat. The karma right now with Ms Moby is giving me some serious cause for pause. I told Bill she reminds me of the Flying Dutchman in Pirates of the Caribbean.

  1. Oh man, Jody, are you freaking kidding me?
    That is just crazy.
    They really are some serious fucktards you are dealing with.

    As much as I hate to say it,
    maybe you’re right.
    Maybe this isn’t the boat for you guys.

    How about this:
    I hope that whatever is meant to be
    for your family will be.

  2. I’m so sorry that this situation so sucks right now. You’ve been so excited and I hate to see you walk away from the deal, but there are times when things go such that you think they aren’t meant to be. With 20/20 hindsight, you often see that they weren’t. Unfortunately, you don’t have that luxury at this point. At times like this, my mother used to “sing” me Que Sera Sera” (Whatever Will Be, Will Be). Hope that helps . . . . nah, it never did anything for me either :(

  3. Wow. I thought for sure the problems were over… and here are more! I’m almost speechless.

    I too, started to think “Maybe they are not supposed to get this boat!” and then you wrote the same thing. Hmmmm.

    Oh – we got a boat this weekend! (I’m snickering when I make this announcement… but it’s true). A little 1973 Starcraft motor boat that my 79 year old FIL gave to us because he doesn’t use it for fishing anymore. But guess what? CLEAR TITLE! :)

    Would you like to borrow it? LOL.

    Okay, the Gods are definitely trying to tell you something.
    I have always found when we closed one door on a disappointing deal another has opened that has better served us. It shouldn’t be this tough! Walk away … there are lots of other boats out there one’s with clear titles and owners who aren’t trying to screw you over on a berth!

  5. My hubby just went through a similar (although less disappointing and considerably less time consuming but almost as aggravating) experience with one of the phone companies up here – 5 days in a row, 5 half hour calls and he could NOT get ONE SINGLE TuckFard to figure out how to move his phoneline….AT THE PHONE COMPANY. He eventually told them to F-off and went with the regular conglomerate here instead. We feel your pain.
