I want a 90-day post purchase guarantee on The Mersch. Oh wait, I didn't buy him...but still.... :teehee:
I know, right?!

I know the firm is very good at what they do. And my brother is very intelligent and I am sure will have a long, successful career doing what he does.

For me, and this transaction, I am not sure it is the best dynamic! Kind of like choosing a trainer, or a boarding barn, I guess.

oh trust me, it is all about finding an attorney you can work with, who shares your vision and understands what you want to do. We had an attorney for our first house purchase who we still laugh about today, thankfully we CAN laugh. But I am not exaggerating when I say he walked into our closing and said, in front of everyone, "there is no way we're closing on this house today!". OMG... ok what are we doing here then? It was just his tactic to get the seller to do something he wanted. (the property consisted of two lots, and he wanted something changed in the contact or survey or something to make it one lot). He was absolutely right and we did close on that house that day, but good god almighty it was stressful!! and no we did not use him again...


It's always tough working with family members. I hope they are listening to you as you have the understanding of the horse business, which is a unique business.

Continued :luck: and :jingles: and a couple more :martini: because its Friday

Thanks MT. I think that is part of the problem. This is a SEASONAL business and it is an EQUINE business. Which makes it unique. It is a lot different than what my brother and this particular firm is used to dealing with.

It would be ok if he was at least considering the things I am trying to tell him, but he's not.... because, what do I know. Apparently nothing. :huh:

Ugh. Anyway. At least it is Friday???? :shoot: :martini:

Thanks for letting me whine/vent.

So sorry, what a nightmare. Is your dad giving you money or something? Because him "insisting" when you are an adult plays right into the way you say men in your family behave towards the women. You have to be really careful what you agree to do with family.

Sorry you are going through this, I certainly understand from both sides. No advice how to deal with it now except hope this gets worked out. Sounds like you are being bullying a bit by dad and brother "for your own good".

K, I think that is really why I am so upset by this. I hate when the two of them gang up on me.

There's a lot I could say, but I won't.

It's no wonder I married Mr. FG.... who is the complete opposite of them... having been raised by a single mom and from a country with "socialist leanings."

Ugh. My friend is following up his Master's thesis with a blog on the marginalization of women and the problem of male privilege. It's refreshing to see a man so thoughtful about the topic...and frustrating to see you running smack up against the brickwall of it.

Can Mr. FG tell your brother to back off. Remind him that he is your lawyer and working FOR you and his main goal is to get the job done ON TIME?

Hey Snacky, is it a public blog? If so, I'd be interested in reading, as it is a topic near and dear to my heart. :brickwall:

Actually, this AM I did just what you suggested. I had been trying to keep Mr. FG out of the mix, because he has so much going on at his job. He's got enough to worry about. But I think it is better if HE deals with them.... (emphasis on HE!)

It is public. I'll send you the link on facebook because I'm a complete dolt about finding blogs without direct links in front of me. I do want to mention that it's from a Christian perspective so if you do read, you're not caught off guard. The church and church-minded people are often one of the worst offenders when it comes to marginalizing woman....thus the thesis and blog.

Yikes, sounds unfun. Doing business with family can be so sticky.

Got a copy of the supposedly-finished contract this afternoon!!! :clap: I kind of lost my sh!t on Thursday, but I guess I made my point. My brother and another attorney were in the office doing something else today and decided to crank it out.

Should be good to go to send to the bank on Monday so our small business loan app is now complete. I was actually really proud of my business plan! Hoping financing is fine, though it should be.

I was supposed to go out to camp to trail ride with the owner today, but the weather is too crappy.

I'm glad your brother and colleague got the contract done. His Thanksgiving mashed potato flicking was going to escalate to potato with gravy soon, and I think he needs to sit at the kids' table as the resident supervisor this year if this deal doesn't get done soon.
