Good Morning to all our Crazy campers! Did we all survive the weekend? It was quiet here that is for sure.

dogmom, sure didn't expect to hear from you so soon. Figured you would be out in the sea with your dancin' shoes and fancy drinks, not posting. Okay can we say Hello my name is Dogmom and I am a crazy addict? Just kiddin, it is great how we all check on each other, and I hope you have the bestest of time on your trip!

Well here is the local RE gossip-they are claiming the calls are getting better and they think with rates down, some mortgages are loosening requirerments abit that things are going to pick up. Hmmm, wishful thinking? Also since all the forclosures and short sales are not closing that people are looking more into the resale homes. This made sense to me, also there is talk of the banks holding off on some forclosures till after the 1st of the yr, (wow, afew weeks). I just wish all of these bargain hunters would forget about the shortsales and realize that resale has less problems and that they too are a bargain, well some are a bargain.

Man Texas - I was hoping so bad I would log in today and see something! Your realtor needs to call you so that we can hear the feedback!

I do not know what is wrong with people. I would be so embarrassed if I left my house like that. I mean, there was toothpaste in the sick. Nasty! Apparently that is the way they lived and saw nothing wrong with it. It would make me ill to live in a home that was so dirty.

Painter that sounds optimistic but.........

Barb-relax and enjoy the cruise.

Hammy-there's no figuring people out.

Back from doctor and our options are surgery to remove 1' of small intestine and reconnect; remicade IV every 8 wks for life; increased prednisone. Right now we'll do the prednisone and hope. We go back in a month and the doctor is going to research everything he can as far as possible new drugs,etc. The one and only thing I'm thankful for here is our doctor, his staff ad the medical care you get. His docs in NJ should have caught this years ago!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Diet-no veggies, fruits, nuts,popcorn, beans (chili).

Lacey, I know that was not the news you wanted to hear, and I was so praying for good news. But you have alot to be thankful for, now you know what you face and treat it accordingly. Hopefully your drs will find something new, especially with advancements being made everyday. Hang tough girl and give that fella of yours a big hug from all of us. That diet is gonna take some getting use to, can he take any vitamins to replace what he will be missing from no veggies?

Good morning girls!

TG@H- We are ALL wanting to hear something...anything!

Hammy- That is just plain YUCKY! You know, when we moved out, we tried to leave it as pristine as possible. At the end, I was like whatever, but it was little things like in our storage. I just was like sweep it out quick. The house was for sure move it ready! We washed down everything with bleach and water and made sure it was CLEAN! I for sure didn't want them to say nasty people lived here. LOL.

I am the type that will clean a HOTEL room spotless before we check out.LOL. Anyone else do that?

Lacey- Will Mr. L have an adjustment to his diet restrictions? I know you are a great cook ( lurked on the food/recipes section...LOL

NJ- It sounds like you had so much fun! How close are you to NY where you went?

Stoy- Hope you feel better today!

Ellen-Glad you joined us!

Boo- Sorry your buyers vanished. Its such a tough feeling to face.

Judy-Get busy Christmas Shopping! http://i126.photobucket.com/albums/p108/Glynisan/2008/0812/clipart03soapoprah.gif (broken link)We finally got a few things yesterday! You need to start the dreaded process now since I did. LOL

Dogmom-You just popped in to say Nanana BOO BOO...you aren't here and I am while sticking out your toungue at us all, huh? LOL. Hope you are having a great time!


I can't remember who had the Chinese couple that saw there home, but could this be why they came to see your house?

Hi Painter-yes I have had him on a mega vitamin for over a month plus giving him V8. I just hope we can make it thru til April after the wedding. We'll see. If it was me I would probably have opted for the surgery now and been healed by Jan/Feb.

Thanx Raising.

Lacey, You might want to talk to the Dr about the V8 drink. I use to have alot of stomach problems and they told me not to drink V8 due to the high acid in it, tomatoes expecially. Not sure on the spelling but what about something like Piedialite or Ensure drinks, they are suppose to be high in minerals/vitamins?

Thanx Painter-I figured that would be "liquid veggies" as the ilieum is so narrowed now that even a pea would get stuck.

There's a wonderful poster EWBadger who just dm'd me some wonderful, helpful information. Truly an angel sent at the right time.

Lacey- You know thats one thing about on here, I think some people "come" to us and post for a reason. I have got ONLY one dm from some crazy that I didn't agree with. Most people are so helpful and willing to help and share their knowledge. As often as we see BAD in the world, there are still good people in it!

I am glad your angel came along. It will probably be a long road for you and Mr. L adjusting, but with prayers and good thoughts, I am sure that you both will make it through this tough spot.
