We were both in tears at the end. I want to see it again. I want a DVD to show other women when it movie isn't in theaters.

In 1990 is moved to my current hometown. I think I bought the last good house for $40,000. On our way to the mortgage loan officer the real estate agent asked me twice if I didn't have any debts. Then he did it again in front of the loan officer! I turned to him and said that I had just told him twice in the last half hour "No, why don't you believe me?" The loan officer was a woman. I didn't want that to be my first and only impression with her so I went back in the next day. I apologized for my outburst. She said it wasn't a problem, that I had a consistent work history and everything would be ok. It goes to show that women can stand up against even the slightest insult and win the day.
