rn, just typing the word gym, for some reason reminds me of my Mom. i must have been 6 years old? i remember going with her to the Jack Lalanne gym. do any of you know who he is? well, he had gyms back in the 50's. my Mom had a membership. so funny, i remember seeing one machine with a belt you put around fat areas and it "jiggled" you. there was also this one machine that had rollers on it. you sat on it and these rollers would roll on your butt. one time i tried it and it hurt my butt. i was very shy as a child, so i rarely spoke (meaning never originated a conversation). i found that place amazing, but never spoke about my thoughts about the place. i had many thoughts about it. especially seen women in the "hot room". lol

RN, my dh and i were just talking about that wiggle belt thingie the other day. i can't remember what it was that reminded me of it... RN, my dh, dd, and friends should be here within the hour. you'll all know they're here when you hear my dd scream upon seeing her room. hey, 'absence is 9/10's of the boxes piling up law'. toward the end, we just put 'don't knows' in dd's room. oh yeah, along with our outdoor cat, pumpkin. hee hee i watched about 5 minutes of that show where the group of women in arizona are followed around. a take-off on a real group of 'desperate women'...that was enough for me. the vanity of the women was a total turn-off. botox, putting men down in bars. just the kind of women i hate! (can't afford botox and my dh won't let me date LOL)

RN, ESCAPEE, the website i wanted you to see is www.zillow.com --no "s" on the end of zillow! sorry! i can't wait to ask my dd about ds's bio dad's 2.65 million dollar house in connecticut. i have trouble getting him to pay any of my son's college costs. his oldest daughter is currently taking swimming lessons--500 dollars for 8 lessons. sheesh! i was particularly disappointed/pissed when dd told me on the phone that bio dad had not even asked about ds once. not once. she said his wife is nice and she bought ds some clothes and asked about him. i would never tell ds that his bio dad didn't ask about him, even though dd was at his house for 3 full days. it would break his heart to realize he was right and that his bio dad 'cares nothing for me'. i want to slap that man upside the head.

RN: It came back at 289000, so if they accept the offer, we're in a good position!

RN: Well, the realtor called and the selling agent isn't to thrilled with our offer. *sigh* They are supposed to let us know tomorrow if there is a counter offer or not. My heart sank, but there will be other houses!

RN, Escapee, I thought the asking price was 278. Why would their offer be 289? Did I miss something? (Or when you say it came back at $289 were you talking about the Zillow site that said 289?)

RN: Yes, Zillow said 289000. Their original asking price was 285000, then they dropped it to 279000, and we offered 275000 and asked them to cover closing costs.

RN I just got home from my sons talent show and awards ceremony! The talent show was awesome, so cute! My son received a certificate of achievement in Physical Education, 1st place ribbon for shot put and 2nd place for relay (from their track and field event) and a plaque for "Most improved student" I am sooooo proud of him! He was a cut little duck (quackle) in the talent show. The first & second grade class put on this "Disco" that was hilarious! They did the John Travolta Sat Night Fever dance and the hustle! They were so cute!

RN, escapee, the way things are, they are playing a game. they would be lucky to get what you offer. my dh countered an offer without asking me and the people just said, "okay, we're done, we'll go with our next favorite house". i almost beaned him. he told our agent he had discussed it with me. we would have ended up 1k behind what we ended up getting, but 6 weeks earlier--which would have saved us about 2,600 dollars in mortgage and line of equity interest payments. i would tell your agent to mention to the owners that things are dropping like stones in california and that there are other homes you are interested in. the owner would be a fool not to take your offer. if they don't accept it, i hope they end up 6 months down the road getting 20k less...because california is most definitely a 'buyer's market' right now. RN, went with my quatemalan friend to the casino and i went with 200 bucks and left with 770 bucks. good thing, too, since dh can't find his debit card and friend's husband had to pay the costco bill where he and my dh shopped. then friend and i went to the outlets and i got my dh some father's day things and some clothes for dd and came home and paid friend's dh 220 bucks for the costco bill he paid. sheesh, i am down to only 100 bucks above the 200 i took with me this early afternoon. GOOD THING I WON SOMETHING!!!

RN Yay for him, Zmom! Sounds like a wonderful night for ya'll! RN I just got back from running out to pick up more meds for Kota. The other day Darren installed a new security light out front and I haven't had much chance yet to check it out. I walked outside tonight and into range of the motion sensor, the lights flooded on, and my first thought was National Lampoon Christmas Vacation when Clark puts the 200,000 twinkling lights on his house and they finally get them to work, lol. Hehe, my whole front yard lit up bright as day! I think he's gonna have to do some tweaking to those or the neighbors will be throwing a fit!

RN: The selling agent wasn't to thrilled with our offer, and was showing the house herself last night. I really like the house, but I won't stress about it. The house is just beautiful, and everything we didn't have growing up.

RN, sorry, escapee, but the selling agent is full of crap. you offered a more-than-generous amount! today we went fishing. i didn't catch anything but our guatemalan friends did! i know what i need for future trips, though. the lake is only 7 minutes from our house. i just need to take a comfortable chair or chaise longue, a good book, my sun hat and snacks! pole in one hand, everything else taking turns in the other! we all ate too much dinner and are ready to pop... they have to leave tomorrow, which makes me sad. running a restaurant is a full-time business and we won't get to have them up here very often.
