OT - may have found the reason it's so hard to find "our" new home
Well, DH got a call back on a house we drove by that had a "for rent" sign.
Beautiful BIG house. Sounds like what is happening is: a group of people are getting together, buying these big houses and renting them out. Of course, for WAY more than we can ever afford. And no HUD. First, last & deposit. (like we have that kind of money! $3600?) AURGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Doesn't anyone ever do anything for the "little guy"? But, I'm still hopeful. I just know there's got to be one out there! Somewhere. Maybe up in the woods, down a loooong driveway and surrounded by trees? Doesn't even have to be pretty, just bigger! Can I just go find a big cave in the mountains? Are there any of those left? Enough whining! My problems, not yours. Just wanted to share. Time to get away from this computer and do some damage control (and get dinner started) Later all, Helen C |

I know it seems like you'll never find it but something will come along.

We looked for three years before we found our home. We even had it narrowed
down to the street/condo association. There are only 36 units. We preferred one with a southern view (about 18 units). And we really wanted one that was an end unit (6 units). Talk about narrowing the choices. We got what we wanted - it just took time. And it was worth the time. It's been 5 years and we still love it here. -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "starlia" wrote in message ...

someone just lift me out of the drool puddle every few minutes so I can breathe? -- ~Candace~ Orphan Beads ~low cost and bartering for the financially challenged beader~ http://snipurl.com/6s4t Princess Auctions ~please see for most current updates and auction information~ http://snipurl.com/8s8o "Barbara Otterson" wrote in message ...
