Brandy, the Paranoid Mortgage Customer

[taxguykarl]

May Betty's saga have such a satisfying end.

Brandy lives in the next state over now, so if she shows up looking for a loan, it'll be Ted's problem.

Wait till she finds out how much it costs to raise a kid. Don't be surprised if she shows up looking for a loan.

Just Brandy's whole ...life... is more mess than any child deserves.

Could be that this gets her to wake up enough to straighten up/clean out for both herself and the child. I've seen stranger things. Sadly, those stranger things are also more likely than the sober route.

Will wonders never cease! Brandy's house sale closed this weekend! We should be getting the payoff today.

When BM learned that the sale had been completed, he also heard from the buyer that Brandy is pregnant. Poor kid! What a horrible situation to bring a child into.

Except that they not only looked, but acted and thought of themselves as human. Yeah, technically "alien", but for all intents and purposes they were psychic humans from Over That Way.

In the 1968 book, Escape to Witch Mountain, that is the source material for the movies, they are aliens that look human and came to earth because their home planet was drifting toward one of it's 2 suns.

[Ironclad Alibi]

In the Dwayne Johnson one, they looked human, but they were definitely aliens.

Well, it does save a lot of money for the costuming and make-up budget.

Just sayin; IIRC the "aliens" in the Witch Mountain stories were humans with psychic powers.

"Hey Mister Grey, no need to return this one, memory wipe or not." Huh, that could be a new handle on handling such cases... "I'm with 'Them', your cooperation will be noted." (Every paranoid has a 'Them', you'll note)

The light at the end of that tunnel might be an oncoming spaceship. (Sorry, I recently watched Race to Witch Mountain).

Besides, I'm sure you could convince the aliens to take her for a spin. She seems like their preferred uhm...passenger type: The ones that nobody will ever believe.

I delayed posting this update because it seems like a dream. One of the local realtors put an offer on Brandy's house. She wants to buy it and rent it out. Brandy agreed and e-signed the purchase agreement! Will wonders never cease!

Assuming Brandy doesn't back out - I'm not sure if this realtor is part of her conspiracy theories - then in a few weeks, Brandy's house will be sold and the loan will be paid off! I'm not holding my breath, though. The light at the end of that tunnel might be an oncoming spaceship. (Sorry, I recently watched Race to Witch Mountain).

... Brandy's mental health has deteriorated ...

Like my sister-in-law. Cokeheimers.

Branch Manager spent a good chunk of time on the phone with Brandy's mom today. He was trying to convince her that it would be in Brandy's best interest to sign the house over to the bank. To make things go more smoothly, he tried to get her to get power of attorney for the transaction. Which is something she did when Brandy bought the house, so she should be familiar with the process. But in that case, it was because Brandy was working out of the area. Now it's because Brandy's mental health has deteriorated to the point that she can't handle her own real estate dealings. At least, that's the way Brandy's mom understand it. I could try to guess how much is mental health and how much is drugs, but it's not worth the time. BM tried to explain that if Brandy doesn't sign over the house to the bank, we're going to have to foreclose. In which case, she wouldn't get any money from the sale of the house. Not sure how much of that got through.
