Well all goodnight-the new drugs have kicked Mr. L's butt really bad-severe chills (I have lots of blankets,etc on him) nausea-so being it's Fri.-no docs-we are stopping meds. Feel so for him as this sucks.
well we are expecting our company in a little bit so i probably will not be back on until later tonight or tomorrow...I hate it when I have to read back pages and pages lol Kidding!
Those of you with severe weathe be careful out there, I am watching the weather channel, looks dicey in lots of places!
Later campers..
My goodness and you think you have a lot to read. Coming home tomorrow so Sunday I will start reading this book you all made. LOL. Missed you all.

When you think about it-lowering price by commission amt plus incentives by the government-maybe we're better off FSBO.
Might as well give it a try. Will of course have to be available for showings, but will give you more wiggle room in list price. This might be just what you need to get that bad boy sold. (though do factor in offering 'incentives' to a buyer agent - you still want agents to bring their buyers) but with good marketing you very well could pull in the buyer yourself.

Hey Stoy, if DH won't lower and you 'know' you don't have a clue about this and working full-time, doing FSBO not really an option. Sounds like (shock, horror) you do have a good realtor doing everything possible (though do ask her if she's tried advertising it on Craig's List - it's free and we use it too as another way to get listings out to a lot of ppl around the world). Just a thought for more exposure to people looking on their own. You'd be amazed at the number of inquires we get off Craig's list.

I'll bet bro will be happy to see you and I'll look for your update on Sunday or Monday. Hope he's in better spirits after seeing sis.

Hey you, glad at least she put house in on-line magazine and like with Stoy ask her about Craig's list for all those ppl not using realtors. Just another idea to get it more exposure, ya know?
Father's Day Sun. The twins made their Daddy a breakfast bag! with coffee/brownies and their pictures laminated with their handprints on the construction paper!! I teared up when I saw them come home with them!!
Half days at school now until next Tues. Then they are DONE! so many activities planned with them! Ah, how sweet - DH will be so happy!
I will look up to Heaven and wish my Dad a Happy Father's Day!
Think a lot of us will, sweetie. I try to forget father's day 'cause it makes me sad but . . . guess we just have to hold onto the fact they're looking down at us
Everyone stay safe out there - watch out for tornados, stairs, bulls, knives and prayers to all those with sick loved ones. Big smooch to all my sistas!
Hey Campers, hows your Friday going so far? We have had so much rain this week, I think I should be a duck! Last night bad storms split a 60 ft tall cherry tree off about 8 ft from the ground in my neighbors yard. Thankfully it didnt hit anything but the ground!
On my side of the fence, had one split and land across the power/phone/cable lines that run along back edge of my property. So tonight the tree trim guys came by. Glad they cleared it up, but they just tossed the trimmings on the back side of my fence . Oh well, once it dries up some, I will go out there and pitch it more into the woods.
Oh and the BEST news...another contract got ok'd today.
Hope you are all staying dry, I am off to the shower for an early turn in!
Checking in for a minute before i go to bed..our friends got out here, we polished off a bottle of my bestest WA wine (my girlfriend and I, lol) and the men had a couple beers, then we went out for italian food, they came back here and we visited, they left about an hour ago..dogpaw is crashed in bed, I am not far behind.
Lacey, oh I am sorry Mr. L. is feeling awful...too much illness for such a nice family...Lorrie, be glad to see you back and have a safe trip..stoy and nj and hdzup, painter, tex, Lacey, and who i missed remember just give it your best shot, it will happen..
ok outta here, hugs to my girls
PS
My friend went home from the hospital today and says she feels like her old self...not sure what her treatment plan is but going to call her and find out tomorrow...Tex thanks for the vascular link, have been checking that out...
Morning all! Fairly nice right now, we have a breeze!!!
Hdzup, Looks like everyone else is sleeping in this mornin'. Just my opinion but EVERYTHING is a deal breaker these days. There is absolutely nothing wrong with your home going by the photos. It is the market and there is nothing you or I or anyone else can do about it. If I had the answers I sure as he ll would of been sold a yr ago instead of sitting here now. Alot of us at this camp has been beat up trying to figure this out, some have sold and moved on, some are still hoping too. Maybe with schools getting out for the summer we will all have more movement, I know if I dont get an offer in the next couple of months I will probably be saddled for another winter here.....
Okay nothing here to report, taking the next couple of days to regroup and maybe work on my place abit, we will see..........
LOL!! That 30 day shred dvd stopped almost as quickly as it started!!! I do have to get back to exercising.
Going to see my brother tonight. I will post a report on Sunday probably. I plan on staying overnight at my sister's house. She just got a new puppy--a yorkshire terrior named Bella!! I can't wait to meet her!!!
Let us know how your bro is girlfriend!! Aww...how sweet. What a precious name for a pup!!!

THANKS STOY!!!!!!!!!!! Do not lower it. Your house is so pretty!

NJS how precious-he will be thrilled. Homemade gits from their little hearts.
I will also be looking up and wishing my wonderful Dad a "Missing You Father's Day".
10 days til the sign goes!
LACEY!!!!!!!! You must be exhausted. Poor Mr. L!! My heart goes out to you. He is in my prayers!
My hub will be happy to see these gifts they made for sure!!
You too about your dad Lace!
9 days and counting for the dreaded sign!!!!!!!!!!!!
\
Another dark and dreary day in NJ!!
Lace- did you hear about the state trooper in Jersey who just got acquitted for killing 2 young girls!!! He ran through a light and killed them both! and get this he was never responding to any call--no documented proof!! (Cape May)and the aszzhole got off!! wth is wrong with this corrupt state?? I thnk they are more concerned about Bruce Springsteen ticket dilemma! http://www.nj.com/news/index.ssf/200...red_in_fa.html
I hope the families sue civilly against this jerk!! I hope they haunt him up and down his hallways at night! What a shame....there is a town clown that lives across the street from us that moved in and he is an arrogant sob lol...you cannot even say hello to him ..he barely acknowledges you!
Morning all! Fairly nice right now, we have a breeze!!!

Painter, you sure as hell don't need a 30 day shred with all the work you do in your backyard girl!! damn!!
TEX-that is too funny about the 30 day shred tape lol... We had that guy Gilian? on for exercise but they took him off!! I taped some of his workouts.He kicks ass.
NJ is it still raining? Our youngest's birthday pool/luau party was to be this afternoon but she said postponed til July.
Yep-countdown.
Mr. L is up and feeling better-think it was a reaction to the new meds - I read the crap last night and there were all the signs. You'd have thought it would've been sooner as he started them Monday.
I am so beyond bored and feel housebound-there's nothing left to be cleaned, shined,polished, washed, dusted, vacummed-I am crawling walls-even made the meatloaf mix for tonight and scrubbed baked potatoes. Here I sit all spiffy and stuck.
