  if there are any real estate agents out there, or people who know about such matters, i would really appreciate some opinions.... if not, i could really use some plain old sympathy.

  just 8 months ago, my mate & i moved over 1000 miles to a new state .

  we found a house to rent.

  Thanks guys

  Valis - you're quick, man! I noticed that freudian slip in the subject after posting - cracked moi-self up, well, not really, since I am NOT IN A GOOD MOOD. I miss YOU, muchly, and could use some of your always cool and relaxing company right about now.... (I'm all set up these days too )

  Lisa - I have always liked your style. I AM going to insist on being present during showings. And there are some definite issues with the house like leaking roof, cracked foundation, inaccuracies in the freakin tax assessment which any non-fool prospective buyer would figure out in a heartbeat (home is worth like $75 K; w/six acres attached, the guy is asking $249K). The next-door neighbor's horses are all over the acreage, (I loved that !) so they'd have to battle property lines/fences.... PLUS the house will exist in a CONSTRUCTION ZONE for at least three years!!!!! Only a complete idiot would buy this place when there are like 50 other huge, luxurious homes for sale for less that $250K within 10 miles... with ponds, fireplaces, bathrooms with walls around them, etc.

  caligirl, thanks for the kind words - mean so much right about now...

  Bikerchic - thanks to you also. I'm not a complete slob, but there is no way in hell I'm going to do anything other than pick up my husband's underwear from the living room before the invaders arrive... and yep, I'm hiding all my narcotic prescriptions for sure (j/k) Wait ! I'll just put laxatives in the bottles labeled "category 3"!!!!!

  Elsewhere: Calling a lawyer means $, so can't go there; I don't want to fight with anyone. Just have to find another place to live I guess..... people don't like to rent to anyone with dogs over .0924 pounds unless you give them your entire 401K plan as a non-refundable deposit.... don't know what they'd charge for barfing kitten deposit... Aggggh - thanks for the cool ideas tho!

  LB: don't worry hun! I might IMAGINE revenge, but my old jw morals/pacifism/'suffering feels good' mindset still prevails... the place is crappy enough without my having to make it look any crappier!

  Dottie: thanks, sweetie... he's so slimey, I wouldn't let him within 20 feet of you. I still need to write you to get your address so I can send you one of my crotcheted ornaments and put in an order for a beautiful dishcloth.....

  Sheila - OMG that is like the #1 fear on my list.... when you're selling your OWN place, you at least have time to get all your stuff 'organized' *LOL* and all - I had three days' heads up and I still haven't put my summer clothes away! Now where am I going to hide all of my huge diamonds and original Van Goghs.......? OMG I AM TOTALLY PISSED OFF !!! thanks for responding...........

  Hope I didn't miss anyone. Thanks loads, and wow I feel a little better actually You guys are great.

  love, laura (who would never allow dork sucking to happen to anyone, anywhere)

  I am having a cow.!!! Just 8 months ago, my mate & I moved over 1000 miles to a new state . We found a house to rent. It's been great. We were planning on renting for awhile until money started miraculously started showing up on the kitchen table, and we could actually buy a house.

  THEN! Ten days before Christmas, the owner (billionaire developer who bought this house with cash hoping to acquire adjacent properties totalling 50+ acres upon which to build monopoly houses) decides to PUT THE HOUSE ON THE MARKET, since the neighbors won't sell.

  We are in the position of having to allow complete strangers access to our home... while still under a lease... which is supposed to terminate April 1. I've at least forced the listing agent to require a 24 hour appointment notice, but the first "appointment" is like FREAKIN TODAY at 4:30. When I got the call my head just filled up with hideous sniper fantasies, and I'm not like that. I swear. Between trying to get christmas stuff packed up and mailed, working our butts off, and cleaning up after my new kitten who has 'irritable bowl syndrome' and who barfs 20 times a day, I need to have my privacy invaded on a regular basis like I need to have my teeth yanked out with pliers. -------->(insert really really bad word here)

  Is this legal, his requiring us to accommodate his majorly demented demands? He's asking at least $100,000.00 too much for the place, which means most people will just get pissed off when they actually come in the door. What a dork.

  Merry f**g Christmas...... I guess.....

  Thanks for listening....... lauralisa

  g'day apostates, .

  last week i was feeling a bit off and in some serious pain, so i climbed aboard the bush beast and headed for the hospital.

  (to visit a doctor after-hours or without an appointment isn't done in this part of the world) luckily for me bega district hospital is only a fifteen minute drive from my bolt-hole in the hills.

  I'm glad you're ok UB.... what a great story! (In a sit-com kind of way...) I think you have a big future in storytelling with all of your adventures.

  Did you get to keep any gallstones? I inherited my mother's gallstones. I am not kidding. I keep them in a little blue pouch for emergencies.

  Maybe nurse agro would help you out on the potency test... it wouldn't hurt to ask

  Merry Christmas to you, laura

  okay, so i didn't want you all to think that i'm an ignorant slut, so i didn't share this with you, but a few weeks ago i took a very, very hard test (the final phase of my senior clerical assistant application at the college district where i work).

  i aced the english section, finished it way before the alloted time was up.

  but the math!

  GeddyLee: Awesome username!

  Crotchtower: Awesome and original derision-speak!

  You must be a smart man. Welcome to the board. I lost 14 years to the crotchtower, 1/3 of my life. Wow. I've never 'done the math' that way - gross.. ick... glad we are both out, though.

  Honest Opinion, Please

  i'm not very craftsy, but i have a thing about crocheting dishcloths.

  it's a basket-weave design and i have mentioned in the past how it helps me to keep sane.

  i have been suicidal lately and thought, why not send these dishcloths out to my friends and they will always have a little piece of me to be remembered by.

  Windchaser -

  I'll send you one of my stupid-looking ornaments (they look like porteguese man-of-war -dripping with pearls and tacky as hell but they are really 'art' if you send me one of your crotcheted treasures!

  OMG Windchaser, I couldn't relate more to what you wrote.

  My husband and I are digging out of a financial nightmare, and after expenses, we have like $3.39 per month to spend on 'extras'.

  This is the 2nd Christmas I've celebrated in over 15 years and I WISH I could send all of my friends like digital satellites, a few ponies, cases of Cristal champagne, etc. All we could do was make stuff with what we have here... I made all of these REALLY STUPID looking ornaments, knitted a few throw pillows, etc. I have had some moments where I felt like crap, thinking these things are gonna be laughed at, thrown immediately away, etc.

  After reading what YOU wrote, I feel completely differently about the whole thing. If I received one of your dishcloths, it would be a treasure.

  Thank you - really - for helping me see things in a new light.......

  Many hugs to you, lauralisa
