RN, Tabby, it sounds like their agent already knows they'll take the deal and probably advised them that they could certainly ask for the 20K in concessions, but they shouldn't expect to get all of it.

max, our agent called me at 11:04 and we were on the phone for several minutes. i decided to run in here and at least post the 'possible sale' the second she hung up...and i laughed because when i put it up to preview, the preview said 11:11. i said, "holy crap! i had best push the 'post this message' button RIGHT now, and i can add other stuff later. hmmm, why am I not surprised by 11:11 at all? I TOLD you that Jupiter was aligned with Mars, yadda yadda! I'm VERY happy for you Tabby!!!

RN, ah, hukd, your channeling has worked so far! i signed the papers and it goes back to them. once they sign and agree, i will take the papers up north this weekend for dh to sign. oh, now they say that they can't move BEFORE may 10 or they will have to pay capital gains on their condo which they bought 2 years ago on may 10. sheesh. i need to know because the rv place can't hold my reservation forever and they always book up for memorial weekend due to the huge reservoir and world class striper...i guess i can offer the rv people 100 dollars in 'hold' and have them keep the deposit if we don't move there. it turns out we may be able to stay here through graduation. grrrrowl. i hate it when people aren't clear. not even clear as mud! if we get what we want, we will have exactly enough left from the sale to pay off our jetta... we will drop kaiser because they don't have coverage where we're going and use our military retirement tricare. that will save us over 500 bucks a month. we might actually do okay! we have it written into our counter that if someone else comes through with at least the same amount of money, we give these people 72 hours to commit with some way to get the money, even if they don't sell their condo already, or we can take the back-up offer. their agent told our agent they were really motivated on getting THIS house, so i hope it all works out. unfortunately, we still have to keep the house shipshape (wargod, where are you, dear heart?!) and still show it... but i feel a thousand times better than i did only a day ago! and any tvchers who travel through northern california had BEST come visit me! max, you aren't too far away, especially if you have to come to california for any reason. and anyone who wants to visit california certainly has a place with us. you may be in the motorhome, but it's nice...lots of great fishing, and lassen national park only 15 minutes away... so please come and visit!! dogs and cats also welcome.

RN, I saw the 11:11 mention and had to post some lyrics to a song of the same name "Woke up this morning and Something was burning Realized that everything really Does happen in my lifetime Thoughts were of characters And afternoons lying with you And you were alive Ohh, the hours we are separate 11:11 is the precious time we wasted So pack up your bleeding heart And put away your posies I don't want to have a drink Or play ring around the rosie with you Oh no, no"

RN, i am feeling sorry for dh. they have about 4 feet of snow and are expecting between 12-24 more inches between now and saturday. not sure dd and i will go up, although it sure will be beautiful. i really prefer having a 3-day weekend when dd's in school. he did get our FAX machine hooked up, so we can fax papers for his signature if i don't drive up. or maybe he can get out to get back to the south house? here is a funny dh story. you know we got a snowblower. and dh has been busy snowblowing our entire driveway and half acre...well, yesterday he used it for some neighbors where the gal is 7 1/2 months pregnant. then he helped the people across the street. when he told me, i said, 'oh you met don?' and he said, 'no, the guy was named mark.' i started laughing because the lady across the street was complaining to me last month how the guy they hired to do their snow removal wasn't doing a good job. his name was mark. so, basically, my husband did mark's job for him and mark got paid! plus, my dh said when he got the machine, he would snow blow other driveways for a few bucks to help offset the cost of the snow blower... nope, just using our gas and his energy for free. i haven't heard back on the counter-offer yet, but our agent said their agent told her the people were really motivated and wanted ONLY my house. i hope they will just accept full price with the 10k for closing. we did drop 10% from when we first listed and that's a lot of money already.

well, RN, your crossed fingers must have helped because i just got a call that they accepted full price with 10k in closing costs. which is more than i wanted to give, but not as bad as also taking 10k off the price! so i can live with it. we are not putting a pending sign out and the house will still show as 'listed' if agents look it up. we can still sell to someone else if we find someone who does not have a contingency and the potential current buyers can't get the money together... i am going to be busier than a one-legged man in an ass-kicking contest! taxes for us and both kids, keeping the house up, getting stuff ready to move out, but not so much that we are out of dishes or a place to sit, figuring out where to stay. i can make arrangements for the rv park for may, but if the house ends up not closing on may 10 but a later date, i will be out the money. i can't let them know too late about the rv space because they are filling up for memorial weekend already. our high school graduation is on the friday of memorial weekend and hotels and rv places already get busy without everyone's grandparents coming to town... RN, escapee how are your darling little girls? is your older daughter excited about her baby sister or a little jealous? is dh helping out? please post more pics of everyone!

rn, tabby, i would fax those papers and get them signed ASAP. sounds like you won't have to worry about not packing enough clothes. you'll fit right in at the rv park with all those world class strippers. rn, i just received a gift. a gardenia bonsai. i've always loved bonsai trees. never have seen a gardenia bonsai though. i'm wondering if it's safe for my cat. one thing, though, the ceramic vase is broken in 3 big chunks. it's wrapped in plastic wrap...once i unwrap it, it will fall to bits. i'll have to go get a new vase asap. rn, i've been drinking 1-2 cups of coffee a day since last Friday. i usually drink about one cup of coffee a year! i'm desperate. i've been gaining weight for no reason the last couple of months. i'm hoping the coffee will boost my metabolism? not healthy way to go about it...but like i said...i'm desperate. exercising is not helping. the coffee is keeping me up at night too.

RN, hukd, don't go too far. i mean, stay within this galaxy, okay? thanks, baby! i am smiling, too! abby, i never heard of a gardenia bonsai. sounds cool! look up poisonous plants to make sure cats aren't allergic. i don't remember that being a bad plant for them, but it may be bad for the plant if the cat takes a bite or two! we used to have the large glass vase with the beta fish and the colored rocks and the plants that you put on top after washing the dirt out of the roots. the fish swam around the roots and it was so cute. but our cat loved the plants. not the fish, the plants. we went through 5 plants and had to have the fish live in a bathroom and make sure the door was closed. the cat would nibble on the back for a time or two and then just have at it...
