buying a house...aka..paperwork

                 We're trying to buy our house. We were supposed to buy it months ago, but we've come to the realization that you can't buy a house. Ever. There's no such thing. Oh sure, they SAY you can buy a house no problem but it's a lie. When they say you can buy a house, what they really mean is paperwork. It's filling out forms, signing forms, faxing forms, getting forms to fill out more forms to give to people so they can give you more forms. And then you do it all over again....after you fill out those forms. So basically buying a house is just lots of paperwork. And this whole process takes about 9 years. But it's worth it...it's a happy, happy day when all the forms have been filled out and signed, tucked neatly inside a folder and handed to you...YAY! You are now the proud owner of 200 pages of forms and paperwork! Congratulations! Oh wait....you didn't want the house, did you? We didn't think so...here, fill this out...

                                I was in the hospital several years ago with gall stones and had to have my gallbladder out. One form...that was it...they removed body parts and it only took one form. So basically it's easier to have internal organs ripped from your body than it is to buy a house....go figure...
