We lost the house we wanted...

[ScreamingMeemie]

It went contingent on extended inspection period yesterday. :cry: :(

All in all it's been a crap day.

[bigwillq]

1. Oh sweetie...

that stinks big time. :(
I am very sorry that you lost the house.
And I am sorry that you are having a bad day. :hug: :loveya:

[ScreamingMeemie]

3. Thanks will...I was looking it up every day waiting for it to go into

foreclosure, because they wouldn't accept our offer...

...It was the perfect house for us. I can't believe I feel so sick about it. :cry: :hug: :loveya:

[bigwillq]

12. You have every right

to feel sick about it.
It's something that you wanted really badly and when it doesn't go our way, we as humans, get upset, frustrated, angry, disappointed, sad.....
It's only natural to feel that way.
I would feel the same way.

It's going to take some time for it to sink in that you're not going to get the house.

But I always believe that things happen for a reason. Good and bad.

After it sinks in and you're up and ready to search again, you really will find the perfect house and everything will work out the way it's suppose to work out.



I am leaving work shortly but you know my PM box is always open to you.

Feel free to PM me if you need to vent or cry or laugh or let out a big

FUUUUCCCCKKKKK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
:loveya: :hug: :pals:

[ScreamingMeemie]

17. Thanks...You are too sweet to me.

I feel like a big goofy baby for crying when I saw that. :cry: I thought it was going to be impossible for anyone to buy it and that we would get the chance in foreclosure. :hug: :loveya: Drive home safely!

[bigwillq]

19. Why aren't my smilies working??

I'm the big goofy dork. I can't get my smilies to work! :P


Hey, they worked this time but they didn't work in my last post to you in this thread. Odd.
I think the smilies were upset that you didn't get the house either. :(

29. ...

[Thtwudbeme]

2. Damned Washing Machines and Extended Inspection periods!

Screw them.

Go decorate your breadmaker with Christmas tree lights, put on your slippers, and go cuddle with that super cute husband!

[ScreamingMeemie]

4. ...

:hug: Maybe I'll feed my dog a greenie while I'm at it. :loveya: :cry:

[Thtwudbeme]

9. He'll put his eye out!

Oh wait...wrong quote.....hold on.....

[GOPisEvil]

5. Sorry MrsG.

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

6. Thanks GOPiE...I need to grow up and not take this so hard, but it

was the perfect house. :cry:

[GOPisEvil]

10. I lost a much better house before I bought this place, too...

I still wish I had been able to buy that place...so much nicer than mine, and cheaper.

Oh well...we suck it up and move on, right? It's hard sometimes, though. :cry:

[ScreamingMeemie]

14. Now, I'm just saying f*ck it...I don't care if we move from this place

I'm getting to not be able to stand anymore. I am in a really depressed mode tonight. :hug: Thanks for caring. :hug: :cry:

I'm sorry you didn't get the house you wanted either. We deserve the houses we wanted Dammit.

[GOPisEvil]

22. It'll get better, promise.

:hug::pals:

[supernova]

7. You mean the house with the pretty views?

that you showed us?

That sucks. Sorry, Mrs Grumpy! :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

11. Yeah...the husband was a real super jerk...bitter about the divorce...

...and they were asking much more than it was worth, but still...I had hopes we'd end up with it, because it was perfect for us. :cry:

[RevCheesehead]

8. Damn, I'm sorry to hear that.

Perhaps there's an even better house, waiting for your love. :shrug:
At any rate, I'm sorry. :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

18. I've got that,"I hate all houses except the one I wanted" mood going

on...Aren't I horrid? Thanks Rev. :hug:

[RevCheesehead]

25. Not at all.

You found something you really, really wanted.
I can't imagine the depth of disappointment you must be feeling.

Give yourself time to grieve - rant, scream, whatever - we can take it.

:hug:

[AirmensMom]

13. Oh, I'm sorry.

:cry: :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

20. Thanks...

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[AirmensMom]

27. My house is for sale.

Do you want to move to a warmer place?

I know what you mean about a bad day. Really. :cry: :hug:

[Thtwudbeme]

15. OK, serious reply.

(remember, I am a religion major)

I personally think that you are going to find one that is more perfect, with everything you wanted and more--- and that you will look back on losing that particular house as one of the best things that ever happened to you.

Sometimes when the greatest things happen, we can't see them for awhile.

[ScreamingMeemie]

23. I hope so. I'm one of those big idiot people who say, "Don't get all

excited,self" and then I go and get all excited. This happened with this crappy house that I loved when we moved in...that I loved up until I saw that damned contingency listing in fact. shame on me.

Your words mean a lot.

[Thtwudbeme]

28. Oh, I know....it hurts to start mentally decorating something, and making

memories that are years down the road--- kinda like being young, and meeting the hot young stupid man that lies and says he loves you...so you start looking at Bride's magazine---

So all you have to do is look at your adorable children, your great breadmaker, and the second hottest husband on DU...and think what you COULD have had--

;)

Besides, now you have lots of room in your head to really start fantasizing a house! Woooo HOOOOOOOOO!!!!!

[flamingyouth]

16. That sucks. I'm sorry.

Hey, what ever happened to you guys maybe moving out here? :hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

24. MrG did the phone interview and it went well, and then he decided

he didn't want to move that far away from his family...so I guess I'm stuck here. :hug:

[Fenris]

Damn! I wanted to meet you!

Ah well. If it's for family...;):hug:

[MissB]

21. I'm sorry.

:hug:

I watched in amazement this weekend at how fast one of our former houses went on and off the market. I can't imagine buying a house in this particular city in this housing market.

Hope the next one is the right one, and someday you'll look back in wonder and amazement that you ever thought that *this* one was the right one.

[ScreamingMeemie]

26. We did that with this one, but....this other house was perfect and we

Had been looking for about 3 years. Totally sucks. Things stay on the market for a very long time here...but none of them are just right. Thanks missb. :hug:

[greatauntoftriplets]

30. I am so sorry, Mrs. G....

:hug:

[ScreamingMeemie]

31. Thank you gaot...

:hug: I knew I could feel crappy about it here, and people would understand. I hate myself for not bumping up the offer a bit. :cry:

[leftofthedial]

32. that is awful. I'm so sorry

You'll find the perfect place though. It's a buyer's market! Keep plugging.

[ScreamingMeemie]

33. The sad, sick part is that I am an appraiser and I get pretty stubborn

on how much I'll pay for a house, and I got bit for that. :( thanks lotd! :hi:

[SeattleGirl]

34. Well, that stinks, Mrs.G!

I'm sorry that happened.

[ScreamingMeemie]

35. Thanks SeattleGirl...

Me too. :cry: I'll get over it I suppose.

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. My dear MrsGrumpy.........

That is awful news.....I am soooo sorry!

I know how much pain you're feeling right now.....I've been there too....

The pain will lessen, and eventually go away...but you will never forget it...

I sure do hope that an even better house is waiting for you down the road...

And SOON!

What a way to end your horrific day.....Feel free to rant and rave...

We've got your back, sweetie...

:loveya: :hug: :loveya:

[Olney Blue]

37. I'm sorry.

38. Lost a house once and I cried like a baby.

Two years later we ran into a guy who had bought the home. He was a very unhappy camper. Turns out it was a lemon complete with termites, etc. It would have eaten us alive. God answered our prayer. His answer was NO. Best thing ever. True story.
