Amazon: please give me a “UPS-only” tier of Prime.

And yet, still, no landscape mode in the Music app. This is even more annoying since they put the headphone jack on the bottom.

I guess it’s one of those books that either gets you or it doesn’t. Mrs. Masshole became a DFW widow while I was reading it. I live near Boston, so the familiar locales doubtless helped.

Are you reading all the footnotes as well?

Only time I got to fly first was when a company flew me out to California for a job interview. It was great. Guy beside me drank, I swear, 25 gin and tonics and still appeared perfectly sober. Show any hint of needing something and 4 stewardess jump at you.

Sorry to go off topic, but hey Amazon: any chance you could create a special “Prime and never use the US Post Office for shipping” account? I’ll gladly pay some more if everything got shipped UPS, so I wouldn’t have to play “where’s my package” with the local post office anymore.

P.S. - Sounds like you got a good deal and I have nothing but respect for that. And thanks for your service.

Negotiating the closing costs is definitely normal, and you should at least try, but the results will vary depending on the state of the market. There have been times around here when even a home inspection contingency would have been laughed at by sellers.
