Hump Day WLS Express
Can't complain too much about the drive back and forth but the eateries in the immediate area of where we are at cannot be described as the most RNY friendly. Mostly "road kill" outlets.
Good morning. Work all day and some cooking when I get home for a brunch at work tomorrow. Friday will be 1/2 day or less of work. Woohoo.

Good Morning everyone!!!
News on the home front...My agent talked with the other agent to see what was going on, and if they were going to accept our counter. Agent's response was 'we are going to increase our offer by 9K'. My agent after talking with me, told him that seller will not accept. So we are back to praying for an offer at the right price. So please say an extra prayer for me, swing a chicken, etc. that something will come through. Several houses have sold recently in the subdivision, which means less inventory to compete against.
Hope everyone has a great day!!!

Mike and I are in the opposite position - we are the ones making an offer and they are not willing to take it. The house has been on the market for nearly 300 days - so we are not anxious to spend more on it then we offered. Plus what we offered was the same amount as the house next door to the one we want to buy.
We are inclined to go back to looking. But, we have to move by middle of July so our house can go on market....

Clearly we are on opposite sides of the fence. I listed my home back in September, and have since dropped the price 20.5K to the current listing price. At that time, it was priced according to market conditions, and with all the improvements that I have done to the house. And to say that that the market dies down during the fall & winter, is very much an understatement. I think during that time only one house was sold in the subdivision.
The one thing that really got to me about this particular buyer was when the agent submitted the contract to me, there was a statement from the bank stating that she had been pre-approved for a loan for 15K more than what her contract to me was for. And if that was all she could afford, then she should have submitted a contract on the house 3 doors up from me...two things are wrong with this house...first house on the left when you enter the subdivision (all traffic has to pass this house), and I have heard it smells 'doggy'.
Another reason why I did not accept this contract, is that I dont 'have' to sell...since I am not under any time or person constraint to move to Texas. When I decide to relocate, I would rather 'lease' my home than sell it for that price.

Good morning,
Well it is back to work for me today, glad it is a short week. I have enjoyed having time off with nothing planned and doing whatever I wanted when I wanted.
Norma, hope you get a acceptable offer on your house soon.

Morning Don and TMB,
Hope everyone has a great day today. This week sure seems to be passing by quickly. Prayers going out for you Norma that you will get several offers for your home and that you will end up getting MORE than your asking price. Hope your headache goes away soon too Phyllis. I hate headaches !!! Working on my SG meeting today. Hope everyone doesn't stop going to support group meetings just because it is summer. Sometimes we need it more then than during the rest of the year. Have a wonderful day and stay hydrated....it is going to be really hot today too.
Hugs and blessings ~~~ Vivian

GOD GRANT ME THE SERENITY TO ACCEPT THE THINGS I CAN NOT CHANGE; COURAGE TO CHANGE THE THINGS THAT I CAN; AND THE WISDOM TO KNOW THE DIFFERENCE !!!! THIS IS MY DAILY PRAYER.

here and accounted for. headed to pcp since I haven't really slept in 2 days beacuse of severe leg cramps. Just had blood work done so potassium is not it. I have had them about 6 weeks now but the last couple of days have been horrrendous. Also have them in my neck and shoulder and abdommen. Will stop for my sbuxs on the way and if not too tired make a stop for fruit at sprouts and see what kinda of protein deals they have!!
