Year-Round Santa

Ugly covers are a Reader tradition. They probably were trying to make up for the nice one with the picture of Bill Tall that recently ran. This one sure did the trick--ugly and senseless.

Joy Ride

"we tried to save these people money because we liked them" The reason you chose to sell to those people is that they offered you what you thought was the better deal: buying your stuff and allowing you a flexible move-out date. You were making a business deal, not making friends. Nothing wrong with that but don't act like you were being altruistic. They were sleazy but the real culprit in this story is your real estate agent who didn't get a deposit and a signed offer to buy. That it also took months to get the deal done sounds like the agent wasn't very good. Any decent agent would have told you to avoid contact with the buyers and let her/him do it. A good agent would never have allowed those jerks the opportunity to wiggle out of the deal without compensation or consequences.

I don't know about Kathy but there certainly is a bit of bitch in PistolPete.
