where are you living now?
best of luck to you and wishes for a happy 2010 (in florida!!)
Kinda funny hearing you say this! I remember last year when you were in the same boat and it seemed like your place would never sell and you weren't getting many showings. Now you're one of the ones on here encouraging others to hang in there.

Glad to see you're still around. Often times when people move down they seem to fade away. Hope to see you at one of the next meet ups.

Very true! I appreciated CD helping me, and all the other help I got from some of the members here, and I also appreciate the friends I have made. I remember last year at New Years, being up here in Maryland, raising my glass to all my friends here and making a toast to them. This year I will do the same, and again, I will step out side look up at the stars figure out the orientation of those that are directly above Florida and make that toast. I also looked up to see where you were Hedzup and added that I hoped things would work out for you too. We are going to plan a meet up and it will be in the Sarasota area, possibly Marina Jacks like it was before. I hope you can make it.

I totally agree! But it sure is fun to think about all those "no good things" eh?

I have a saying too, it kinda tracks with yours. Nothing good happens after you have 16 beers, which coincidenlty the 16th happens by around mid-night! just kidding.

LWAF, Funny you should use that line. I first heard it when a player for the Boston Celtics was stabbed maybe 5 or 6 years ago. Fortunately he surived and is quite the ballplayer. After the stabbing he said that the NBA schools rookies about the fast life and the perils of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. He said, one of the lines they teach is "nothing good happens after midnight." I have preached that to my kids and younger patients as well. Of course, they often realize the veracity of the statement too late.
