Ha! Don't contemplate guilt for long. The way I see it the lesson being learned is MOM DOES TOO WORK. Mom works so hard that it makes your hand and shoulder hurt. And maybe the next time The Mom says NO zipping the mouth is best. The best master plan he could have now would be a heartfelt I'm sorry.

No worries the guilt didn't last long. On a happy note my other ds knew why I was upset and did an extra chore without needing to be told:joyfull:

Thanks Cesar!
Coming from you, that's a real compliment...!!! :happy:
All from my iPhone 6s.
I've noticed that when I post them (IIRC, it has always been the case) they lose a bit of quality from the way they look in my photo album on my phone, so that's kinda' a bummer... :cyclops:

Anyhoo, thanks again...!!!

I think thats pretty normal. Most Websites "compress" the images to reduce the size.

We put 20% down for a lower interest rate, 15% at the time was the minimum. We didn't have to demonstrate any spening habbits however they looked to see if we had any other debt. Our cars were paid off and we didn't have credit card debt, I had been at my job a long time and had a 2nd job so we didn't have difficulties qualifying. I guess that is why 2% down just surprised me, also until the house closed I was guarded if they ultimately were going to buy the home.

Because I was a single buyer and a woman they scrutinized my spending a lot more than with couples.

After our divorce, we sold our house to a really nice Bosnian couple. They had fled Bosnia either during or just before the war there. I don't remember. There was a "special" mortgage handler that dealt primarily with those relocated Bosnian's. I didn't know if they paid anything down or not as it was not my business to find out, however, when we got down to the nitty-gritty during the closure. Their broker had not mentioned the charge for what heating oil was in the tank. Measurement showed over $300.00 dollars worth remaining. They didn't have enough money left to pay that, so they asked if I would consider "loaning" them that amount that they would pay back over time.

I honestly do not know how they were able to even pay for their regular mortgage payments, taxes, etc. much less the money they owed me. I wasn't going to lose the sale over $300.00 but I was hurting for money back then as well, so I agreed. They where wonderful people. She was so happy to have a house with her own land. He was a painter (of houses) and she worked as a maid at Quality Inn.

I don't think it had a happy ending. I heard that he was killed in a car accident about four years later. They bought it 17 years ago. As far as I can tell the place hasn't been occupied for at least the last 10 years. I make it a habit to just drive by and check the place out when I am visiting Vermont. The grounds are kept up (mowed and trimmed), there is no sign saying it's for sale, but, no one is living there. I have no idea what has happened or why. BTW, they paid me for the fuel within 4 months. That place has a lot of memories for me, especially watching my children grow up there, but, it had it's share of sadness as well. Still sad to drive by and remember the amount of life that was lived there at one point. The house was built in 1976 so it's not really that old either.

Sorry, for the swerve into nostalgia... What were we taking about again???:oops:

It's not easy to leave a home. Sometimes, we just have to move on in life, but it's not always pleasant. I'm glad you're in a better place now (I don't just mean where you live, but just your life in general). And I'm also glad to hear that you're doing well after your recent eye surgery. :cool:

Anyway, after reading your compelling story, I said I wasn't going to do this--but--I Google mapped my childhood home to see how the new owners had changed it. (I haven't been there in over 30 years, as my parents passed away a long time ago, and the house was sold.) So, I just pulled it up on the view, and it didn't look too much different; but all the emotions of the years I lived there with my family, and all my little pals on the street, just hit me like a ton of bricks. Yup, there's wisdom in the saying. you can never go home again. And not only that, I saw at the bottom of the street a new side street? What used to be miles of woods behind our home (where we'd play quite often) is all streets and houses now. Glad I'm gone.
