yeah, i love golf but....man. maybe that works for putting but all the bits and pieces would just be sooo distracting flopping and whipping around on any full swing.

ALSO: first rule of nudists: it is never young, hot people. minimum age will be 70 and nobody will be anything like fit.

And in unrelated news:

Banks in Finland have decided to make getting even a tiny loan impossible. This is because of global warming apparently and here are SOME of the excuses I've heard since July second.

1." It's July. We have no people at work but since you're an old client we are directing you to our fast track. You will get a call back on July 24th."

2. "I'm sorry. Our server melted and we have client information mixed up with old info. We couldn't reach you because we didn't have your current phone number."

3. " Yes. I see it was due to our mistake. I'm currently working over time to call you. So you want to buy a house. Is this the first house you've ever bought? ...

...

I'm sorry. Our forms are not working. I can't fill in your information but what you're saying is that you're at home with your kids? We can't give loans when you have no income" " we didn't get to income yet!" "Ah sorry. The forms stopped working and I just assumed!"

4." I'm sorry. I have two estimations for the house. One for the price you'd pay and one a realtor has done. We can't let you buy a property worth that much for that little."

" Can you read?"

5. " You claim you make no money in your application but the tax records show you made 50k. This is very dishonest"

"No. Your forms stopped working due to heat and we stopped filling it after two hours of trying. We never got to income."

"That's not possible."

" Yes, it is. You were the one filling it"

6 "we are having serious issues with our servers. I can't confirm you're who you say you are since the phone number you're calling from is not the one in our files."

7. " We need to refill everything. The earliest date available is September 24th (or something)"

I'm gonna need to sell a flat to buy an epic house so I don't have to deal with a bank ever again.

Apparently heat and bees are the problem. Unreal.

I've been a customer of that bank since the month I was born. I've never had issues with financing a project. At worst I've been 300k in debt and even then I had like 500 k as backing.

Now I'm in a situation where for a month I've been pointlessly arguing with a fucking robot woman who can't use Inc and paper AND WE HAVENT MADE IT TO INCOME YET FOR FUCKING FUCK!!!

Oh, I forgot my fav.

" How is it that you can put down as collateral 800k worth of properties, but you don't have in your account a mere 140 k?"

" Let me explain this to you one more time. I make money by exploiting the low interest rates. I buy shit cheap, fix them up in a month, then I rent them out for two years, then I sell them. I'm financing the renovation, I'll do the work. The next flat I can sell will be free in a month, you're making from this deal the signing bonus and you can charge me 1% marginal since interest rate is negative now.

That's my house and I am switching banks if I end up digging the fucking house foundations with a fucking shovel when it's freezing. I can't do it with a machine since the plants around the property are epic. "

That's the emptiest threat ever uttered. No way am I digging that fucking thing to 6ft deep by hand, and no way am I explaining to an other bank that yes, I'm home with the kids and I seldom make any money.

Go get'em Anna! Sounds like you found an epically unintelligent loan officer.

No, I'm actually pretty fucking sure I've been in their private banking branch for years and though I keep losing my mind with her it's not her fault. Finns just are not capable of handling the heat wave we have going on.

We just can't. I can't blame her. Hell,I snapped at her and it's my long standing policy that one never is mean to an other person. It's this fucking heat.

That house will be the last home we'll have and that's the house I'll die in (if not in traffic). I'm sure I'll be a good stock trader in the future too but ...

I need a loan for 15 months max. They're holding deets to all my assets which are more than 15 times of the said loan. They know I spend about 300 bucks per month.

And now I can't fill a fucking form I've done abt 15 times in my life and sometimes I haven't even been asked to do that!

This country seriously does not work when the sun stays up and it's hot outside. Since I basically can do what ever I want with the property already I went in with a shovel to dig up the basement today.

Five hours later I had managed to do a big fucking pothole and the hubby shows up.

"You do know, Anna, that this goes in the list of your epic fails of rebellions the moment you figure out that your cousins has a excavator like three hundred meters away? I mean, sure, abs excercise but you're nearing 40, you don't need to be hot"

"..."

" You really want the house. Being stupid works for the overall look tho"

" ...."

" You want a fucking 100 year old house with the ugliest wing ever made from the 60's and you gonna fix it all. Good luck drawing it"

He did throw in a bottle of water for me so I think he's all in on this idea.

That being said, had the Alfa Romeo come in a manual, I might of gotten a Quad/whatever they are called. That thing was excellent, like super duper holy fuck shit I was wowed excellent. But, the manual and BMW doing excellent discounts/helping us end the 428 lease early swayed us. I also was a beta tester for Ford and the GT350/Voodoo, I wasn't going to do it for Alfa. A couple of things were already not working on the test drive.

Hahahahah

Hahahaahahahahahahahah haavaa

Buahahahahahahahaaaa

Minnie got owned by his desire of a manual and now his wife drives a mustang if needed!

This does not get the stupid of the day award. I dug next to the only tree stump next to a house for seven hours when I had a free digging thingy 3 minute walk away.

Oh, and I did it next to a house I don't even own since apparently my country or I can't handle the temperature of 86f.

Buying an M3 does not win any title today but please ask again tomorrow when I'm back in my pothole digging project. I'm pretty sure there is some fight left in me and it still seems like a good idea to do it by hand.

No Mustang for the wife, but an F150.

Today it rains, the first time all summer probably.

Now, of course I was smart enough to go get the digging thingy because being unreasonable stubborn has never been my thing.

Or I went to my hole at seven am and now I got back home to make lunch and then back in I go. Hubby is as excited about the project as he was yesterday. "I'm not putting a cent in to this. This is fucking idiotic and Jesus Christ do you actually think it can be done like at all. This thing is the ugliest combination I've ever seen! You're insane and you're going to die in that hole!"

He is truly warming up to this project. I'm sensing it!

" You've done some epically stupid shit but this is beyond idiotic. You have decided to buy a jungle. A real ass fucking jungle. "

I found 6 endangered trees from the property yesterday. I think I can't even bring in the digging thingy there now since I would get raped in fines if something happened to the trees. So I'm stuck with my shovel and of course the house is bigger than a trolls ass.

But anyway. I might have to blog this project. This has all the elements of stupidity that usually lead to educational disaster and maybe someone else will avoid my minor errors if I do that.

I wasn't kidding about the jungle.



This is the garden.



You can't even see the fucking house I have to have done by Christmas and you can't even drive there since no road basically but otherwise this is still the worst case of Anna stubbornness ever seen. I just really want to fix it and make it pretty.

[minn19]

Lups, I got a nice welcome back to BMW......I just found out they screwed me out of a set of wheels/tires/TPMS for $1000 rebate.

My car came with the 763m set which is 5495$ on the sticker. My car is a competition package car which comes with the hideous 666m that are around 6k or the a little bit cheaper 437m set. On my sticker it says credit for the original set, but doesn't list a price. I did the math this AM and guess how much credit that was..........$1000.

So I either want a bigger rebate or my second set of wheels/tires.TPMS that I paid for plus the $1000 I'll give them.

I'm going to get a second set of tires with PSS since the 763m come with Cup 2 tires, which are track tires and not a great DD tire.

Any way, welcome back and your issues are still much bigger than mine!

My issues are stupid! Yours are real.

Problem one: my bank has melted down thanks to the heat wave. Solution: wait a month and just buy the fucking thing outright. Anna's solution: have a meltdown and find a shovel.

Problem two: I need to buy the house to start fixing it up. Solution: wait a month and start. Anna's solution: have an epic meltdown and start the project.

You can spot a theme here, right?

Problem three: family not all that supportive. Solution: open Excel and explain to them the value of the project. Anna's solution: shovel and a meltdown.

I can count the muscles in my back and arms because I have dug a two meters deep and three meters wide hole next to a house, a job that could've taken all of minutes with the digging thingy. My arms hurt and I for some funzies cut down about two hundred tiny trees too because everyone knows it ain't manual labor if you can't wear flannel shirts.

Even my aunt who's selling it to me (it's my great aunt and home and it's been empty since 2002 basically when she died. ) told me very kindly that the stupid is strong in me.

I'm moving in by Christmas. Fuck those skeptic arses.

My husband is apparently a comic these days. While it was pouring down rain, he came to the site to bring me water that had a tiny umbrella on it.

Kill the dealership Minnie! Kill them, you wintour battle while I take a beating in mine!

That’s the thing, I don’t think it is a dealership issue as it was all done at port/VCP and I believe that would make it a BMW NA thing.

My “problems” are not real. It’s pretty nice the way we saved some money and destressed a bit was by trading in a problem car plus one we didn’t use. Then get a decked out manual M3. If these are the worst of my problems then life is pretty dam good!

Lol, yeah I'd say you're winning this competition by a wide margin here.

Finland is under a wide ddos attack currently. Basically all our government AND BANKING services are down. With my luck Russia will bomb down the building when I'm still in my pothole.

What's the high temperature there today? In McKinney TX today, it's going to be 83 or 84°. Beautifully cool weather.

Today we hit 50, even 55! It takes a few weeks to unmelt from the worst summer we've ever had.

I don't mind the winters but summers are murder for my tender personality!

My shoulders hurt. I'm beginning to think there is a valid reason why those digging thingies were invented. Naturally now I've backed myself in a corner so I'm going to either have to dig it all up by hand or.. wait for the hubby to be out of town for a few days, smuggle a digging thingy I keep forgetting the name to in English there, get it done, cover my tracks and never come clean about it.

Obviously we all know what my solution will be, again.the sane option of giving up and admitting defeat never even crossed my mind but cheating is completely cool!
