I am trying to keep the bitch instinct in check as we go through this closing so that we don't wind up either a)in jail for manslaughter or b)bitching ourselves out of a deal.

That said, we aren't going to let them turn this into a Richard Pryor movie. (Does anyone but me remember this movie??)

We talked to the lawyer and the sellers are not allowed to just remove the lighting without replacing it with something of equal value. At this point I don't even care so much about the equal value part since we will be picking out our own, obviously much cooler, light fixtures. But I don't want to move in with dangly wires all about.

Also, that live for free crap is not happening. Take it or leave it. And I know they are closing on the new house a few days after our closing so they aren't going to mess around.

For now, I will play nice. But it takes a lot of work so don't push me.
