Relax, guy

This illustration should be on a bank note

I was 11 or so, on holiday, went horseback riding wearing shorts and thin socks. They set up my stirrups too low and as I held on to the saddle for dear life, one stirrup kept bouncing on my ankle for the entire afternoon.

My thighs chafed pretty bad, and I got an open wound on my ankle about the size of those souvenir pressed oval coins. I don’t know what my dad was thinking, but he treated my wound with some cream and then wrapped my whole calf in plastic wrap every day for about a week.

The wound turned into an ulcer, I couldn’t walk without limping. I had all these little pockets of pus on the edges which my dad had me squeeze to try and make them smaller. It did nothing except be painful.

I eventually went home to my mom - a nurse - who took one look at my leg and rushed me to a doctor.

The doctor then proceeded to vigorously clean my wound before dressing it. It felt like hot barbed wire, that really sucked.

I still have the oval scar on my ankle.

What’s the minus of 30 and 20?

Uh, it’s 80, Frito. It’s $80 billion.

Have you seen Babe? That’s where that quote is from originally

We were a small team canvassing for a nonprofit. So we would go out to markets and busy areas and talk to people all day trying to get donations.

Well one time we were out during election times and this guy from our team spent the majority of the day campaigning for a local candidate. That was his last day on the team.

I would also recommend Doctor Sleep if you haven’t seen it. It’s a wonderful sequel/tribute to the Shining and so, so dark.

Thanks, I ended up going with “wealthy overseas relative who I have to report to”

This is roughly what I went with. I also kept it vague

That’s how it felt the entire visit

Thanks for the suggestions, I did ask about those. The agent had no idea but it made me sound more legit. Also, I posted an update!

Thanks for your advice. This helped me feel less nervous about the visit. I did stay vague but friendly when he asked me personal questions.

Thanks, I wrote down all your questions in my notebook. Turns out everything has to be redone so that was easy. This house is definitely a money pit. But if I had infinite money, I would totally restore it.

Just posted a update (no video though)!

Yes, overseas relative was the story I went with. It also allowed me to justify taking a bunch of photos.

Thanks, I tried to focus my questions on renovation during the visit. But it was actually pretty obvious, everything has to be redone.

Thanks for the advice, which made me less nervous to meet with the real estate person, especially because they had a visit just before me
