2 people that never IM me (old PharmaNet co-worker and my sister-in-law Julie) IM’d me while I was in Vegas - funny

I may be on crack, but it seems like time.windows.com is off like 40 minutes - maybe it’s just this laptop acting strange again

$40 a day in Asheville airing this coming Friday - gotta make sure Julie hears about this - , ?

Saved a good bit - attorney=300 (Mark’s recommendation of Richard Gamble!) and appraiser=200 (Chrisawn Appraisal, they did it when we bought)

300 saved is 300 earned or something like that :)

My old company (PharmaNet) got bought

The agreement provides for the purchase of 100% of the stock of PharmaNet for approximately $245 million in cash.

Good for them :)

anyone got a local (we’re in north raleigh) attorney or appraiser they’d recommend?  The ones we used a couple years ago were $425 and $375 respectively, just trying to whittle that down some if possible.

[Edit]: the appraiser we used last time is cheaper and is giving us an existing-customer discount so it’s only $200 for the appraisal which I doubt will be beatable, so at this point I’m mainly trying to find a cheaper attorney - I’ve heard $400 is pretty much about the way it is for a mortgage attorney (even refi) so I’m hoping I can at least beat $425, though.
