OMG I just agreed to rent the house I wanted to buy.

[crim son]

The owner was/is a friend of mine and she's willing to let me lease-to-own the place. I had to make a decision very quickly, as did the STBE but he agreed.

This is a strange stroke of good luck and it makes me dizzy.

1. Are you asking for a Government bailout?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl: :hi:

[crim son]

4. That'd be sweet, wouldn't it?

Just thinking about how I'm not, pisseth me off. :grr: :hi:

[fizzgig]

2. congrats!

i'm glad that came together for you :hug:

[crim son]

6. Me too!

The beauty of this place is, my friend bought it for a certain price, and then put forty thousand bucks into a new kitchen, a new half bath, and wall insulation. It needs no cosmetic improvements whatsoever, although one of the living rooms is pale blue which to me is too gloomy in Maine.

:woohoo: :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

3. That is wonderful

Good to see good things happening for you!

:woohoo:

[crim son]

5. I am glad this worked out for you...

[crim son]

10. I'm still sort of in shock.

The girlfriend went through the same thing as I am now, a divorce, a huge step down from the mansion to the three-bedroom. She's even had the contracter-type boyfriend and unemployment. The only difference is, her parents finance her whole existence. Anyhow, she wants to help me out.

Hey jasonc. Wanna finance my whole existence?

[Pierre.Suave]

19. as soon as I find someone

to fund mine...

:hug:

[mainegreen]

8. lease to own?

A sweet deal for your position.

Lucky day!

[crim son]

12. It is, isn't it?

She hasn't been able to sell it so she was about to just take it off the market and rent it out. I am getting a great deal here, which makes me think that something bad has to happen, like it burns to the ground. :P

[Gormy Cuss]

9. There you go! Things are looking up.

:fistbump:

[crim son]

13. Oh YEAH.

An opportunity to use the fistbump! :fistbump: (I typed "fistbum", heh). Maybe things are looking up!

[mainegreen]

18. OMG! There's a fistbump smiley now?!?!!!

[lizziegrace]

11. Hang on

20. So you're not coming to the desert after all?

Sounds like good fortune for you and yours.

but my kids want to stay here, and their father is here. I dream of living somewhere where roses grow...
