The man promised me that the list he initially sent me was all he would need. \

This being for the refi/cashout to help finance my RV park project.

But, of course, just as the land deal, I was getting endless requests for far more than this initial list of things, which was pretty small.

He should have just been upfront with me about it. I would either agree to all this nonsense or I - wouldn't.  And right now? I'm not in the mood for going through all of this yet again with no guarantees that I'll even get anything out of it.  Yes, I have been approved, but that can always change, we all know this.

And the appraisal - if that doesn't come out good, then it's all off anyway. I'd just rather wait until the appraisal is done, see what they say and move forward - or stop - with those results. 

So I mentioned this to the this agent a few days ago. 

He had a literal cow.  It came out mooing, looking for hay.  I won't even go into all of it, I was instantly ready to say goodbye, have a nice life, don't call me because honey, I won't be calling you.  It was unbelievable the tirade this man went into.  I was appalled, astounded and amazed all at the same time.  

His threats to end the deal were laughable.  I was highly amused at that, as if he had some sort of leverage on me, lmao.  I let him stew for a day on it without responding after I had had enough.  He went off again.  My replies? Wow.  And then Wow again.  That was it.  And then I let him think about his behavior for a while, this dude isn't doing me any favors and they are certainly taking their chunk of change out of this deal if it goes through, please spare me.

I let him know after the threat that I am not desperate for money, it would be a tool that I can use for the purposes that I intend to use it for, but in now way, shape or form do I absolutely have to have this money. I will not lose my dignity and have to think that I am begging some dude that works for a giant company to bail me out. I don't need bailed out of anything.  If it comes down to my current supply of money not being enough? The project can go on hold.  

He took a completely different tune today. He is not the captain of this ship, I am the client, the consumer, I am what he is in business for. It is a service industry. I had half a mind to contact his corporate offices and let them know how he is treating their customers, but I decided against it. See if he would change his tune.  Plus, this dude literally has all of my personal information.  He could trash my life - at least temporarily until a lawsuit would be filed - engaging in cancel culture and using my ss and dl numbers to open up accounts, etc. You never know what people are capable of.  In this day and age, I count nothing out.  

So, I am just going to go with this until it either pans out - or - this dude just goes too far with it. Sort of what my company is doing with this microphone and inward facing camera nonsense.  Crossing lines.  The microphone is muted and the camera has a piece of duct tape on it....I'll let y'all know what becomes of that.  As for now, there are 3 sun visors that fold down from the ceiling of the cab. The center one is not wide at all, maybe 8 inches and they placed that camera right where the center of that sun visor comes down. I don't really need tape, just put the visor down and it's blocked.  So that visor is - permanently down lol. 

Anyway, I barely made it to the receiving plant near Tulsa with the time left on my 14 hour clock.  I got the loaded trailer dropped and then came out into their parking lot to spend the night, get up early enough to get an empty after 10 hours and head back  That will be 5:30 am, a bit early but nothing like this morning getting up at 3:30 am.  I'm so tired yet I am not in the "sleepy" phase yet, hopefully that will hit soon.

What's in the news? Good Lord, what isn't in the news. Rumors of war with Russia, China flying military planes over Taiwan and wanting a presence in the Atlantic with a base, Biden's edicts being put down one after another with vaccine mandates, border chaos continuing on, progressives being snubbed by more moderate democrats, Supreme court justices being threatened if they overturn Roe v Wade ...what a hellish nightmare this nation has engaged in the ruthless slaughtering of innocent babies.  I'm going to stop there, there is still a slew of other things I didn't mention. But this abortion subject has vexed my soul for decades now.  I know lots of people - people I call friends - that think abortion is nothing different than going to the local gas station to get a drink. 

I'm stopping. It's getting late - well it's not that late but I didn't sleep well last night and I'm very tired.  It's actually only 9:00 pm, which is early for some, late for others, in between for me.  I have 3 more days of Facebook suspension and then I'll have to make a decision.  I just give my opinions on things but Facebook calls it hate speech or bullying.  I'm sick of Facebook, for that reason.  It's not that I'm engaging in any real form of bullying or hate speech, lol, it's that Facebook wants people to conform to THEIR way of thinking.  That's all it really is. If I stay on my own page and don't comment anywhere else, maybe  I could stay out of their crosshairs.  But I have liberal friends on there - well not so much friends after the Trump years and the left still bashing Trump supporters.  But you get my drift - I have had them reporting me for comments I have made on my own page. 

It's so easy to just block a person you don't like, unfriend them, do anything but whine like a little child and act like a petulant teenager and report people because you don't like their opinions. 

I won't be back home tomorrow until much later than I anticipated because of 6 plus hours of breakdown time today. So I won't be getting over to the property to do more measuring.  But, Brownsville has been down for 11 days and I suspect after hearing what other drivers were saying today that I won't have any work for at least a couple of days after this run. I'll have time to get out there, I think. Many times I say stuff like this and then I'm given a run somewhere or a paying task to do, such as traipsing around the country doing chores for the company, lmao.  No calls for LNG delivery on the east coast - yet.  It isn't really that cold yet, it's when those blizzards hit over there and the temps drop below zero is when they amp it up and call for help outside of their regions. 

BTW, I am not getting vaccinated. I don't care if it means I never fly again.  Well, I do care but I have spelled out the legitimate, valid reasons on this blog several times now why I will not get vaccinated and it has nothing to do with being "anti-vax".  AT ALL.  

I am probably going to need to fly to Arizona to sign papers if this deal goes through on the refi cashout.  It will take too long to drive there just to do that. Fly in, fly out, same day if possible.  Not see anyone? I can't see my mother, tho I think that could be arranged by simply inviting her to visit at a restaurant - outdoors if need be - and getting tested before I see her?  I dunno. See my son at least.  I'm saying all of this because there are hintings that the Biden fiasco is hinting at domestic flights requiring passengers to be vaccinated as well.  If I have to drive there, so beit, I'm not getting vaccinated. Get it?

Y'all have a good evening.
