Look at the time, something is wrong--I can't figure out what it is--too stressed out, I guess. 25685. arkymalarky - 9/27/2009 7:13:46 PM Hey Mags!
You will probably have to reset your time in the mote options. 25686. magoseph - 9/27/2009 7:15:07 PM Hey, Judith, if I had a botttle of dark red wine right now, I would call a helper and go to sleep. 25687. Ms. No - 9/28/2009 2:27:24 AM Oooh, I want a helper and to go to sleep!
Can we get a Constitutional Amendment for that?
Good to see you Mago! 25688. robertjayb - 9/28/2009 6:28:22 PM Lucy in the sky with diamonds dies
It's not about drugs...
LONDON (AP) -- Lucy Vodden, who provided the inspiration for the Beatles' classic song ''Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,'' has died after a long battle with lupus. She was 46.
25689. alistairconnor - 9/29/2009 6:22:51 PM I've got an offer on my house. It's almost my asking price.
The relief is enormous, but mostly I just want to cry.
These last few days we've been visiting houses to buy, we were all excited about one place and re-visited it with a friend who's an interior architect, but it could be a real dog... needs a lot of work.
And I got punched by my stepson again. He's having trouble taking his medication. He really needs it, but it makes him feel stupid. 25690. iiibbb - 9/29/2009 6:52:02 PM congrats Alistair...
Our fingers are crossed. The people that are renting our house work for a construction firm. If they company lands a certain project in the area they plan on being there for 5 or mor years, which would mean they want to buy a house. Right now they are hedging by renting.
Our realtor tells us that the odds of the project going down are about 90% in her estimation.
So we might wind up with an offer from our current tenants, who apparently love the house, and are putting a lot of energy into the landscaping. I see this as a hopeful sign for us. 25691. Dubai Vol - 9/29/2009 7:17:16 PM Well, I've just had the worst day of my life, by far.
This morning I signed away all rights to two years' salary from my former employer. Not a big deal, relatively speaking, because tonight I went to marriage counseling with my wife and the counselor told me "she sounds really determined to end your marriage, let's talk about a divorce ritual." It was the result I expected, but still not a good day. And I still think my wife is making a big mistake, for herself, but hey, I made every effort.
So next time you think you are having a bad day, I got you trumped.
25692. iiibbb - 9/29/2009 7:34:09 PM Sorry Dubai.
I thought mine almost go there... but what I had to do to make the save has been a big drain.
As far as my crappy day last week... which was pretty crappy, things later in the week helped recover it.
But I won't claim worse than yours... 25693. alistairConnor - 9/29/2009 11:15:07 PM Well I've been there too Dube. Five years I've been divorced, it was pretty bad for a while, but it got better, and it still gets better every day.
(I thought at the time that that my wife made a big mistake for herself. I no longer think so, but I suspect that she does. Too bad.)
Today is a momentous day for me, gut wrenching. Having the certainty that I'm actually going to sell my house is a lot different from merely deciding to sell it. I've had it for twenty years, near enough, and it's a large chunk of my identity. This is it (just in case one of you folks wants to buy it...) 25694. vonKreedon - 9/29/2009 11:39:18 PM AC - Am I reading the description of the grounds correctly to say that there's a trout stream? Stables? A stone bridge at the end of the property? Wish I had beaucoup bucks (pardon my French), looks and sounds really nice. 25695. Dubai Vol - 9/30/2009 2:39:21 AM Yeah, AC, that does sound very nice; are you sure you are asking enough? Sounds kinda cheap to me (not that I can afford it myself! :) 25696. Ms. No - 9/30/2009 6:23:20 AM Glad to hear the good news, sorry to hear the bad.
Hang in there DVol. 25697. alistairconnor - 9/30/2009 10:15:57 AM Yes it is as you describe, vK (though I converted the stables into a studio apartment).
And yes DV, it is kinda cheap... the agent persuaded me to price it under € 300k, psychological barrier etc, but it's worth 400k to the right buyer. I've got another potential buyer to see this evening, who contacted me directly. If I can sell it to him, that would save 20k or so in agent's fee.
I'm convinced that I'll never have a house I like so well, because I won't be able to afford it.
But perhaps my girlfriend will buy me one. 25698. iiibbb - 9/30/2009 3:14:37 PM I'm glad our house was never home. I've left places I've loved twice... it's no fun. 25699. arkymalarky - 9/30/2009 3:32:40 PM I don't intend to do it again. The prospect of leaving a workplace I love is killing me as it is. I'm not moving unless I fall out of love with where I am or I'm forced out.
Hope all goes as smoothly as possible, Dubai.
