RN, Congratulations, Oldtex! I know how hard it can be to get rid of that CC debt and it's a great feeling of accomplishment when it's done! :-)

RN, appraiser LOVED the house. i am sure he'll give the numbers needed.
i have to go out again. an agent is showing the house between 1:00 and 2:00. maybe we'll get a cash offer for full price and we can take this offer?!
well, we can hope.
i'm just glad it hasn't fallen through with the original offerers.
wish us luck!!

i feel bad that i didn't attend the funeral for the wonderful man in town. unfortunately, it was at 10:00 this morning and i had to take kendall with me. no way could i leave him barking and crying in the car during a funeral mass and burial. i did send a nice card with very genuine heartfelt sympathy for his widow and children, but i had wanted to go to the funeral, too. i'll bet it was packed--this man singlehandedly ran half the programs for kids in town, cooked for every benefit take-out dinner, donated to every auction fundraiser, etc. goodbye, George! you will be missed and remembered by everyone who knew you.

Rn Dakota's little friend just called and invited her to a ball game tonight. Her little brother is playing so the girls get to go watch and play. Since it's 78 right now I'm thinking they'll be able to watch this whole game, lol!

RN, i didn't think the people were coming to see the house. i called our agent's office at 3:30 and they had just picked up the key. so off went dd, kendall and i for another drive around town. at 4:30 my agent called and said, "someone wants to see your house soon. like, right now. they are coming to get the key." i told her to have them skip getting the key and to come on over. the guy had a brand new lexus. kendall growled a little so we took him to the park for 10 minutes. when we got back, the agent and guy were just leaving. the guy said, "wow! you have the most beautiful house. just beautiful."
let's see if anything happens. it was pretty frustrating to drive around town today and see the hundreds of houses with for sale signs out front--and that's not counting the brand new houses that are being completed at the rate of 25 per week. but it was good to get two different agents with their clients in one day, when we already have an offer on the house!
dd and i are going north for the weekend. dh will come home on wednesday to do a few chores, then he has to get injections in his spine on friday, and he'll probably go back up to the house next sunday or monday. just think! in just over 2 months, we will all be living in that house. let's just hope this one is sold, not sitting empty while we pay both mortgage and line of credit amounts on it...to the tune of 2,700 bucks a month!!!

RN, ah, thanks, baby!

i just kind of got into it with one of my sisters. she won a million dollar lawsuit a few years ago and has a little more money than the rest of us. she paid off one of her kids' credit cards (over 12k), paid off both kids' cars (about 8k between them) gave each of them 5k just because, fixed up a darling trailer where each kid has lived off and on for no rent, bought their clothes, etc. her kids are 28 and 30.
today she started in on a restaurant that is for sale where our new house is. she kept insisting it would be perfect for us and she knows a guy with a winery who would rent the bar space a couple of days a month for wine-tasting, etc. i kept telling her we DON'T have 400,000 dollars, and don't want to work that hard. some of our best friends own a restaurant, just for lunch and dinner and it's full-time 6 days a week and taking care of accounts and doing laundry, etc. on their one day off. they can't go anywhere unless they close the restaurant and then they lose business. it's very hard work.
i told my sister we weren't interested and that we had two kids to get through college and there is a good chance ds will get into UCLA. and she said, "well, just tell him he can't go." i said, "what?" and she said, "just tell him he can't go."
i was really pissed that she was trying to tell me not to help him financially. my son is 20 and going to school full-time. neither of her kids ever finished one semester of college, both smoked dope, etc. i told her she had helped her grown kids over the years and education was more important than what she had paid for for them.
she said, "well, tell him he can go, but he has to pay for all of it himself."
yeah, tell me how to raise my kids! both of hers have been married and divorced already and are headed nowhere.
pffffft! sisters sometimes....

RN I'm sorry Tabby. Seems halfway hippocritical that she has helped her kids that much and then tells you you shouldn't help your own!

Tabby, your children sound like they have great parents! And to think I always wanted a sister. I'm glad I have 2 brothers, even though they don't understand me and the tense relatioship I had and still have with my Mother.

Just take a few deep breaths, vent here and you know you are doing the right thing. Don't let your sister lay a guilt trip on you.

Right now: Tabby, people that have money, often forget what it is like to not have money. They forget that want and need live on far separate sides of a not so fine line when you live by a budget. Your budget includes helping create a future for your kids that isn't a dead end. Hers apparently is indirectly supporting her kids dope habits and habitual mooching......

Right now: She also sounds a lot like my aunt, only hears what they want to hear, and can't get past the tips of their own tongues. You can tell them no sixty billion times and they keep with the "well why not, well just do this, well why not?"
They are unreasonable to no extent, and guess what, my aunts kids are less than stellar as well.

RN I just got off the phone with a friend in my hometown of Montreal. Her mom was in a coma for a few days, and she passed away this morning (Thursday)... She had full-blown Alzheimers, but what killed her was malnutrition. They moved her from a nursing home to the hospital last week. So sad. My friend is still pretty much in shock, but coping admirably. She said the funeral is Sunday. She cautioned that I should keep a sharp eye on the nursing staff at the home where mom is. I explained that mom is still able to express herself and socialize, she's not on the Alzheimers floor, she just has the beginngs of dementia, short-term memory problems, and confusion. And that I am on top of all her medical and other issues there. But it was sweet of her to be concerned for my mom at this point in time...

Mame, so sorry to hear of your friend's loss.

Alzheimers is such a cruel disease. I've never memtioned this, but my sweet Dad died in 2001 from Alzheimers. He was in a care facility for only 2 months and died in his sleep. Drs told me that with this disease, sometimes the brain just forgets to tell you body to breath. I never questioned this because I was just glad he didn't have to suffer any longer.

He was at the state that he didn't know my Mother or his 3 children. I was the first person the care facility called that morning (right before I was to leave for work). After several minutes calming myself down, I knew that Dad now remembers all of us!

Mom wanted a very very simple funeral, but her 3 children over ruled and we celebrated is extrodinary life.

He was so loved by the community, over 300 at memorial and funeral. But my Mom tried taking care of him for way too long, and her heath began to decline. But doing much better now.

I'm sure you will be a great comfort for your friend, you just seem like that type of soul.

Your Mom and friend arelucky to have you!
